After Kerr litterally admitted GS was never the same again after the incident, not sure he's stiil welcome or wants to stay.
Maybe. Dray is a very emotional dude as we all know, so maybe Kerr’s remarks turned him off. Who knows. Ultimately though I think it just comes down to money. Whoever offers him the biggest bag will likely get his services. Again, unless he’s not seeing any offers he likes and says “ it” to go lace me up with Bron in Hollywood.
We can’t assume the team will magically improve in its playstyle or grow to start playing like a well-oiled machine. You can draft smarter players, but in the end, experience triumphs. If we want to go back to the old days where oncourt mistakes were minimal, the Spurs have to bring in veteran leadership. And what better way than to bring in one who has been there, done that? Dieng is probably a positive influence in the locker room, but he’s not going to teach the kids how to play great.
Kuzma on a good deal as a bench scorer would be a nice addition tbh. I want the Spurs to build a strong 10-man rotation since a lot of teams don‘t have depth
im not particularly interested in kuzma
I’ll pass on Kuzma and Draymond. I’m not one of those people saying we should roll out a team of all 21 year olds (I recognize the value of vet leadership), but those two just really don’t appeal much.
Perimeter defense, 3-point shooting threats and a PG that can create and facilitate are the 3 main things I’d like to see. Kuzma and Draymond aren’t really checking those boxes.
I’m not particularly interested in dropping a bag, even a moderate one, on anyone this summer. If a deal pops up at the MLE or below, I’d be receptive.
Doesn’t the new CBA require you to use your space?
I think it's that teams that don't hit the salary floor don't get a cut of the luxury tax payouts
Yes and no. You can still elect not to use the space, but you will not get luxury tax payout if you don’t AND the extra money doesn’t go to your players but entire league spread out.
However, the full impacts of this change aren’t until 24/2025. This upcoming season there’s a “transition” year where the luxury tax payment withheld is only 50% vs the full 100% moving forward so still may see some teams use cap space for assets this season but who knows.
Yes. Renting it is using it, too.
Not really interested in Draymond, but people here don‘t seem to understand why he knocked Poole out. From what I know it went like this:
Dray is from Michigan and Poole went to Michigan State. Poole proceeds to clown Draymond „ You from Michigan, but I ed more es in Michigan than you“
Then Poole started feeling himself and kept saying to Draymond things like: „ why you talking, you gon be playing in Sacramento next season“
this all went on for months until Draymond lost it. Besides that Klay and Steph also don‘t seem to like Poole. Poole actually thinks they are hating on him.
by the way this is true info I did not make this up
Don’t know about the veracity of the story, but you got the schools wrong. Poole went to UofM, and Dray went to Moo U, aka Michigan State.
It is a bit different than previous seasons here though. Have to be at the salary floor of $120.6m by the start of the regular season now. Can't take that space into the season to facilitate dumps at the trade deadline etc as we did last season.
What's the Kuzma/France connection that I read about on the previous page? Does he know Victor or something?
Smart teams will want to get ahead of the super punitive second tax apron. Waiting until the deadline or next summer will get them held up at gunpoint.
Kuzma has a lot of talent but how you prevent him from being a chocker?
Didn’t Kuz play well for Pop in the Olympics?
Grizzlies trying to trade Tyus Jones
via Jake Fisher“The Grizzlies, however, are exploring trade opportunities to help Jones land a full-time starting position elsewhere, league sources told Yahoo Sports, while Memphis has prioritized upgrading the team’s wing depth” Jake also mentions the Raptors, Spurs and Clippers as targets
He just named the teams needing a starting PG although the Spurs are better off just rolling with Trey as compared to Tyus.
they could have both. Tyus can shoot the 3 and only got 1 year left on his deal. I just don't see any trade package Memphis would want from us
Pretty much all the Spurs can offer is picks and cap relief, and the Grizz don't really need either of those right now.
That's too bad. I think he would be a great fit at starting PG ahead of his brother.
I would love Tyus as our starting PG tbh....he always does very well in Ja's place and I think he can excel in a bigger role. He just does not make mistakes with the ball. I think he's been top 2-3 in A/T ratio basically his entire career
You have to think this was before the recent Ja ruling, no?
no seems to be new info. Makes no sense to me, but whatever. There aren't too many starting PG gigs out there, but he would have one here. It's just that they want a wing in return.
