Pathetic ballhog and control freak should come no where near Wemby and the Spurs.
hard pass tbh. He‘s significantly overpaid and we will need the cap space down the line
Pathetic ballhog and control freak should come no where near Wemby and the Spurs.
While I somewhat agree...Wemby is going to start day 1...and he is NOT going to start at center day 1. So that means he probably starts at PF and Collins starts at center. Sochan is to good to be coming off the bench so...where else you going to put him other than PG.
I mean they literally had him playing point guard multiple games last season so it's not like it's anything new. I would assume Wemby and Collins will shoot a lot of 3's to make up for Sochan's non shooting.
The problem with Simmons and Giannis is that those teams needed them to be stars at the point guard position. We don't need Sochan to do that. We just need him to be smart and to punish smaller guards with his size around the rim.
I am sure the spurs are going to sign tre long term. They traded for Graham last season. I'd be shocked if they invest anything in a point guard in the near future. To do so pretty much means playing Sochan at the 5...don't see it...or moving him to the bench...don't see it because a lot of his value is how he meshes with wemby on the court.
Funny you mention this cause i was listening to some podcast after the Murray trade and one of the topics was how teams were upset with the spurs because they knew after they traded white for young players and picks they were tanking...ever team in the league was calling them about murray...they wouldn't even entertain the calls...and then traded him to atlanta![]()
Listen to this guy: thispego. He knows what he's talking about.
hard hard pass on jordan poole
paul is more compelling because he is still very effective when on the floor, doesnt have the same egregiously high usage rate anymore, and only has 2 years left on his deal as opposed to 4 from poole
but if phoenix expects us to hand over serious assets for him... yeah, no. phoenix is operating above the cap with zero roster depth. they need the relief more than we need paul. but alas, the lakers were able to find a dunce in minnesota to help them offload westbrook. phoenix just needs to find one dunce to get a return for paul. dont want that to be us, though
Would be funny to have Paul as a placeholder for when Doncic wants out in two years.
No! Maybe in 2-3 years when Wemby is already NBA strong and the team is already a contender. But by then CP3 would be 65 yrs old. CP3 would just take minutes from our young guards. So no.
CP3 looks pretty finished
no thanks
I think CP3 is finished. And as far as mentoring a young big, he and Ayton don't even speak anymore. (Though that may be more on Deandre).
Good fit on paper. I like the idea.
I agree...if for the vet min only
Gross. Middling role player paid like an allstar. No thanks.
Wemby wants to be the centerpiece, and I don’t blame him. That’s difficult to do with a ball dominant PG. I’d have to pass on this.
Whatever with the talking heads— they traded White Feb 2022 and Murray only 4 months after. And once Murray said ATL I’m sure the Spurs where chomping at the bit: it’s one of the poorly run NBA front offices with volatile roster construction. Of course I’d want to deal with an ATL, WAS or SAC, over say pennyhorder Ainge or a team whose unprotected firsts would come nowhere near the lottery.
What would the trade look like you think?
Because who tried making him the full-time PG was Kidd and it didn't work. Bud got him back to his position as forward (or even center) and that's where he became the MVP caliber player he is today.
Literally CP3 straight up for any player the Spurs feel won't get much playing time. We don't need to make salaries match because we have cap space to spare.
Well I think it was more of them telling other teams that Murray was untouchable and then turning right around and making him very touchable. It made some teams be like its no point in even talking to the spurs if their players don't want to play for your team because they are not even going to entertain anything you say. Which I think is a bad way to do business and could really limit you in the future.
What about going after Frad Vanvleet?
Isn't Van Vleet a Free Agent? That's a commitment that would require more years, and I don't think Fred is worth it.
He basically threw a diss track at Pop in the days Kawhi was in TOR.
VanVleet or Poole would be a better option. Spurs need vets with ring or rings.
I listened to the airosti guy on Mike Taylor show yesterday talk about keeping Wemby light and flexible. I think it would be a good idea for the spurs to go find a bruiser big that can set the screens and guard the heavyweights. Let Wemby be the giant point guard that he is. Offensively and defensively.
have you watched Van Vleet play? He’s incredibly selfish, thinks he’s better than he is. It was pretty clear he thought he was better than Scottie Barnes.
And let’s not forget his “ pop” nonsense. I wouldn’t want Fred anywhere near the Spurs.
