The calvary ain’t coming

Trying to get 3 all stars on Max or near Max contracts is just a retaliation due to the warriors. Porter is a Max player but not an all-star. The issue is that mills and gasol combined are paid as all-stars those 12mil contracts are the new 8mil ones from previous years. They are killers.

Already??

Does anybody know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?

We are a zillion years from the trade deadline, and many teams around the league are in turmoil. Do not petrify your eggs before they're hatched.



We do not need prominence. We merely need competence.

If so, I can’t imagine why...

Great post. Truth that made me chuckle. : tu

OPJ isn't going to opt-out of his final year. He would be be signed through 2020-2021.

No Butler, no Ariza, bring on the next “trade target”.

“PATFO would have already made a move if they wanted to bring someone else in. It will be a rotation of G-League semi-scrubs sitting on the bench rest of the year. We are not getting Jimmy Butler, Patrick Beverly, Trevor Ariza, Tyson Chandler, Stanley Johnson, no one of any prominence is coming this season. No buy out players are coming. PATFO will not make a trade unless the player asks to be moved. They won’t give up our draft pick or the Toronto pick to add a better player.

This year is about getting our young players experience and integrating Derozen into the Spurs system. Playoffs may happen, but we won’t go far. Realistically, we have only two players who can score 25+ points and a lack of defensively skilled players. People need to adjust lofty expectations for this team. There is no panic needed when they struggle during the season. Lean into this mediocre team and enjoy the ride known as the 2018-2019 Spurs!”
