A half decent backup center. Yep. That'll get us places in a league going small.
Lol. Yes you do. Have you been watching poeltl?

Poeltl can be a decent starting center going forward, tbh. With each passing game I find myself wanting to see more Poeltl and less Aldridge.A half decent backup center. Yep. That'll get us places in a league going small.
Yep. Poodle really needs to learn not to foul, though. A starting center has to be able to stay on the floor for 32-36 minutes/game.
You noticed that Poeltl isn't the problem? Siakam would have had the same troubles with adopting to the "Spurs system".
He was good enough to play 20 mpg for a 59-win-team, so why shouldn't he be good enough for the ing Spurs?
Poeltl is certainly good enough for the Spurs, even when they are not ing.
About Danny Green, people are overlooking the context of that trade, or have just forgotten the cir stances. Leonard, in that trade, was sort of a ghost, so to speak. Was he really there?
I mean, Leonard had not played in months, and had hardly played at all in more than a year. Could he still play? Would he still play? And especially, even if he could play, would he play in Toronto? We remember all the West Coast blah blah in the media (which is still going on, a little.)
We know the answers now. Nobody knew the answers at the time the trade happened. For all Toronto knew, as an established fact, Leonard might never be a real player for them. They might be trading for a "ghost."
Under those cir stances, Toronto had to have a "real" player included, or they couldn't risk it. No way could they risk giving up DDR in exchange for an empty chair.
It must have been Toronto who demanded Danny Green in particular, as a hedge against their big gamble. Then if everything with Leonard went bad for them, they would at least have a starter-quality shooting guard, and a good defender, to replace DDR in their lineup.
As far as "real" players - proven quan ies you could count on - it was basically a trade of Danny Green for DDR. Is what I'm saying.
We know now that Leonard did show up, and he's playing for them. But again, nobody at the time knew that would ever really happen.
As he said, he was misdignosed the groin injury. So maybe he wasn't playing that well for that reason. Now he is healthy, and back to the good defender he always was, and again knocking down shots.
Leonard, Green, now Pau...starting to look like a trend, those misdiagnosis, I am afraid. Maybe Leonard wasn't so wrong, after all...
He had actually been pretty "meh" for a couple of years.
This is very accurate.
Kawhi said the same thing, how in Toronto he can "be allowed to be more himself"
Very interesting.
What people don't realize is that a meh Danny is better than Dante. And he really was injured last season. I am actually happy for Danny to have gotten off this bad Spurs team now that I have seen them. He was going to get asked to cover a giant tsunami by himself and probably would have gotten injured again.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
getting off greens salary, or they aka pop think he cant get into greens head again....
remember when he use to put you down like a dog, now its just a barking dog in one ear, out the other ear, not effective anymore to those guys who been on the team many years....
ps. this is what i dont get about players in the league, if they complain about no night life in the city they play for, how much does it really costs them to operate a night club? its like 1-2 weeks of their pay just to get things up and running, then charge ur team mates or tell them to all chip in as an investment...fkn these clowns man
I knew this was coming. Poetl had a good game, but the problem isn't Aldridge. It's Cunningham. You put Poetl in a PnR with the floor spread because players who are capable of hitting shots are on the floor and it works. Wish Manu had gotten a chance to play with him.
Either way, thinking Poetl is better for this team than LMA is laughable. I'd laugh at anyone saying as much even if Poetl had scored 30 tonight. And I say that as a fan of what he's doing right now.
, you dumb.
someone talking about poeltl today?
for the la vs poeltl talks: I‘m one of the greatest fans of poeltl, but he‘s not as good as lamarcus. but he‘s 23 and improving.
LMA laziness is contagious. At least Poeltl plays with gusto every minute he’s out there. And he’s mobile, willing passer to create shots, plays defense. So unlike LMA when he decides not to play when it’s not going his way.someone talking about poeltl today?

Addition by subtraction and addition again by whatever trading LMA nets us.someone talking about poeltl today?
