What is free agency??
I find it hard to believe the Pacers gave up ALL that for G Hill? REally?
What is free agency??
Even if Leonard gets benched for the whole season because he "wouldn't be fair to the team" . . .
When RJ gets his ass sat down in the second half of an elimination game . . . Pop will have another option besides an injured Manu or a 6-4 Neal to play at SF.
McDonald is awful. I hope EN fire him
I would be stoked if that happened. We have Leonard and Butler at SF and clear cap room.
McDonald also said that Phoenix got the good twin this time. Try to ignore him.
Not saying that about him as a player, but when I first looked at his picture on draftexpress, I couldn't stop laughing.
I don't know, I had to look at his contract in Europe but this guy is great. If Spurs can bring him, he could really help the team.
Motiejunas sliding here...

The Spurs had been actively trying to trade into the lottery, and wound up with a lottery-quality pick without even needing it to be in the lottery. Leonard is an athletic three that allows them to move Richard Jefferson for quarters on the dollar, and reload with an athletic forward who can rebound, score, and defend and who is ready to contribute now. He's got polish, ability, and resolve. He was underrated coming into the season, underrated coming into the draft, and fell all the way to the Pacers at 15.
The Pacers get a legit combo guard to play the two in George Hill. Brandon Rush has not shown that he can play consistently at that spot. Paul George can operate at the small forward position, and provide defense in relief of Danny Granger, who is also rumored to be on the trade block. Hill can handle point guard duties if called on (though with Darren Collison and A.J. Price the Pacers aren't hurting for that) and will get to focus on offense for once after being asked to do supplementary things in San Antonio.
Once again, the Spurs come out looking shrewd and in command. Leonard's a great pick-up for a great price, but you have to think the Spurs will go guard later in the draft to replace their depth.
Sorry, misunderstood.
Can you give some insight. Thanks.
That's the real question. Regardless of what some of the people here are saying, Mirotec would be on the floor for us, if he decided to come over.
Well... he'd be on the floor for a lot of teams. With Pop as head coach, he wouldn't be on the floor in his first year.

Mike Monroe Does this deal mean Nando de Cola is coming to Spurs camp ... if there is a Spurs camp??
De Cola? He does have a point.
I also wouldn't mind Honeycutt if he falls down the board.
lol George Popovich
smh
Not that happy with this. Hill, for all of his short comings, did much more good than bad. He was proven. He was a great "spur". They made a move that really can't help them win now and if that's the case, why take the risk on this guy who seems very limited by all accounts.
Spurs still have RJs fat ass contract which clogs up the SF spot anyways.
Pop always wheeling and dealing, Stu? really?
ESPN not reporting anything other than Leonard's rights...
Glad Jon Barry does not like this move, makes me more confident.
Officially announced on the draft
Jon Barry doesn't like the trade . . . must be good for the Spurs.
Goodness someone put Jon Barry out of his misery.
