Tbh we are one-player-injury from missing the playoffs. That’s to say the least with Gay always seemingly out, and lately DDR. And Pau is history. We need that next consistent scorer to replace Pau, besides the 3 and D Spurs crucially need
i hate this guy

According to clan the Spurs fan
spurs offered Bertans , 2019 and 2020 2nd round picks and some cash for terry rozier and yabusele
yeah that’s kinda been discussed already, I like rozier but that doesn’t really make any sense for the spurs
LMAO stop it Pau
There were some players that seemed done but Houston took the risk and gave them cheap contracts...Eric Gordon, now Faried.
I wonder why the Spurs couldn't sign anything better than 48M-39 years old Pau.
Because they're stuck in their antiquated ways tbh
Remember when SA knocked HOU out of the playoffs recently though and HOU had Harden and Eric Gordon? Also, Eric Gordon 14M a year; not exactly cheap.
Dude, just don't.
-I'd say Gordon contract is very cheap in today NBA.
-I remember that series and still enjoy re-watching the last minutes of game 6.
But I like their way of taking risks instead of playing safe
Yep. I just want PATFO to be a bit more aggresive and creative at the tradeline.
Easier to take risks when it's OK to go into luxury tax every season.
It'll always be a mystery as why PATFO doubled down on an aging Pau. He was already done when coming from the Bulls.
The only plausible reason is the need to have veteran players in the roster. I don't know who Pau is teaching though, Aldridge is already a veteran (but one with limited basketball IQ).
Patty Mills I can see other player like Forbes learning how he moves without the ball. Belinelli is also one of those valuable guys because of his off ball movement.
Spurs unique brand of basketball relies on being smarter and mentally more disciplined that the opponent. Yes, the big 3 ( LMA, DDR, Gay) aren't high basketball IQ players. In fairness though, I think Gay has learned to play very efficiently. DDR might also become a better player next year. I cannot say the same with LMA, but I think he's better motivated this year due to DDR encouragement.
Pau right now is a fish out of water. He doesn't have the quickness that Poetl provides in the 2nd unit.
At best, he subs utes for Gay to play with Aldridge and the first team. The only time Pau is useful is against bigger centers. This is Poetl's weakness (due to low standing reach).
I always looked at the Pau signing as a way to sort of fill the void left by Duncan's depature (Duncan is one of the GOAT players so hard shoes to fill). That was fine when Parker, Manu were still on this team but now Pau is just on this team for veteran leadership more or less.
What's unexplained is the $16m price tag.

DeRozan for Ingram / Kuzma?
In a California second. Can't believe the Lakers would do that deal.
I believe they would do 1, not both. LA is sort of in the same spot as SA. Go all in for a ring while you have Lebron or wait til your young players develop but lose out on being le contenders for now? Although I don't think DeRozan makes then much of a le contender anyway.
They wouldn't.
Spurs would have to take on some of Stephenson, Beasley, Rondo, KCP to make salaries match, though they’re all expiring. Both Ingram and Kuzma is probably something Lakers don’t do (they don’t need to blow it up this year for a le run, and want to maintain flexibility) but just one of Ingram or Kuzma isn’t enough for the Spurs.
I absolutely hate Ingram’s at ude out there. Kuzma I could get behind.
Lebron wants 3 point shooters. He thought he could come in with McGee, Stephenson, and Rondo around that young core.
LeBron would never do that, he knows first hand how bad DDR is in the playoffs.
Do people think Ingram is actually good? Kuzma for DDR is a no for me dog.
The Ingram, Lonzo and Kuzma trio is increasingly looking pretty mediocre as a package.
lol there's no way the Lakers are adding salary beyond this season, unless it's for A.Davis.
