Hi bud……… the finger is pointing at you now trick!
This thread is a CLASSIC! I told some of you not to start your periods…..
He showed some in year 2, but never got to have his year 3 breakout, losing that season to surgery recoup. Portland was a
stupid, really having no other developing bigs. Most of the guys you mentioned just washed out for lack of talent or lack of drive. You can’t teach or fix those.
I agree on the can't teach lack of drive. Hayes has some similarity to Zac with a decent Yr 2 then 'other' issues curtailing his playing time, could fit the MO here.
I still don't like Collins. I don't like how he plays. But I was wrong about how productive he'd be. From a pure value standpoint, he's been a very good player. Hopefully he can stay healthy, because it's clear he's going to put up the kind of numbers that will get the Spurs a good return if he does. , he might even be an extension candidate or may be too good to accept an extension next season (though with his injury history I think he should jump on it). I don't like him, but if he teammates do, this was a home run signing by Wright. They committed very little cap space to him and can get a lot in return. Can't ask for more from a tanking GM.
If he had stayed in Portland there’s no guarantee he would be playing this well. In the end, great move by Wright, but really props to the coaching staff for bringing him back from the dead.
Gotcha.
Zach Collins... better than HOF Spurs bigman Artis Gilmore.
What's his current contract situation? Has he still got one year left on his contract?
Some embarrassing posts in the beginning of the thread, mine included
Turns out they know a little more than forum warriors with strong opinions, shocking as it sounds. Hope Zollins stays healthy and productive.
In some Bizarro world DJM and John Collins are leading the Spurs to the last play-in spot. In the real world, that is still happening, just in Atlanta![]()
No doubt, chicagos a train was a beast for his time![]()
As we approach a big off-season for the franchise, this was a great thread to go back and read as it is the perfect reminder that this website is filled with regular people speculating on the internet, not NBA scouts.
How many of y’all want Drew back instead of Zollins?
Only Mr. Body brought the right perspective to this thread, though shoutout to CGD for the foresight on this one as well.
I have always been happy with this signing, I wasn’t expecting him to be that good though, I remember focusing a lot on him when he was playing and being happy every time he reached 10 points. Now if he gets 15 it’s a bad game for him.
Damn, is that our own Mr. Body there? I'm shocked.
The first 10 pages of this thread![]()
One little fact I picked up on re-reading this. He had a different doctor do the last (and successful) surgery, passing up the Portland doc who did the first two in favor of the Team USA surgeon. A bit of a stinging indictment of the Portland guy.
If he stayed in Portland there's no guarantee he wouldn't have had that foot amputated by now. Their medical staff has earned its reputation.
Props to Wright for the signing, this is looking like the best case scenario: Zach is producing and staying healthy. But at the time of the signing his health was a major risk.
A lot of su ion that Portland ended Oden's and Roy's careers before their time. There was a chance Oden could have played at least a little longer, but their doctors are famously horrific. If Wembanyama goes there, for example, look out.
Portland had a habit of running through medical red flags on draft day. Both Roy and Oden had major ones.
Can you take it like you can dish it, boy? Here's for you to own up to yet another terrible take...![]()
Going through Spurs signing threads is always hilarious. Consistently takes and analysis.
How are Portland's team doctors so bad? Don't the replace them after what happened with Greg Oden and Brandon Roy?
Yes. One more year, $7.7 million, team option, guaranteed if not waived by one day after the draft.
