Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. It went from solid, to excellent, to sub par.
I forgot about Love and Hibbert. The latter doesn't make sense and the former is probably going to re-sign, too. As much of a mess as it appears, they can still offer the most and he'll still probably believe in the long term potential of the team. If he does decide to explore the open market though, I actually think the Spurs would have an outside shot.
I'd probably go Kanter over Monroe. Enes should be able to develop a solid outside game in SA. Find a big who fits with Splitter is paramount. If they can't, then Diaw would start, and the type of big the team is looking for would be completely different.
What's with the Kanter hype? He's trash, tbh..
Tavares is next.
Yeah, because Gobert comes from a country that literally cranks out NBA players through sports academies, and Tavares is from a tiny island called Cape Verde, and never touched a basketball until he was 17. Other than that, they're ing identical.
He is a defensive force, no doubt about it. Utah has 6 former lottery picks as their young core and this dude is probably the best prospect they have and he was a late 1st round pick.
Funny thing is that Utah got him for peanuts. Denver only asked a 2nd + cash for that pick and it was only 1 pick before the Spurs pick that ended up JLC. And the Jazz traded the 14th and the 21th in that draft (Shabazz and Dieng) to get Trey Burke and he sucks.
He's next because the spurs coulda easily got him, but didn't. Both freakish humans. Both have connections that would equal a chemistry boost for the spurs. Both have an underestimated potential.

I don't understand why you're so contrary. Are they not both disgustingly built? Does the nurture really matter, when the nature is some similarly incredible?
Actually, it matters a lot. You believe the same fallacy as a number of failing and failed NBA GMs: that athleticism is the be all and end all of NBA scouting. Please explain Otto Porter, Ben McLemore, MKG, Waiters, Thomas Robinson, Derrick Williams, Tristan Thompson, Bismack Biyombo, Evan Turner, Wesley Johnson, Ekpe Udoh, Hasheem Thabeet, and Johnny Flynn, all marvelous athletes picked in the top 10, probably half in the top 5 of the last 5 drafts, all busts. A couple of them aren't even in the LEAGUE any more.
I can't even count how many shots Gobert altered against the Spurs last night, let alone how many he got a piece of. He also looked pretty aware on offense as far as making good passes, etc. There was a noticeable difference in their defense when he was off the court. I was impressed.

how about this trade? Also send Parker to the pacers?
Kill Yourself.
Well..ok?
i see someone is still a prepubescent!!
nice addition for FNT
There's no greater indication of an internet asshole/bully than this response. We're talking about basketball.
That, and your standard " you got!"
Is this place this lightly moderated that this is allowed?
Or ignorance. Or stupidity. Or lack of thought process. Or bigotry.
Actually, we're talking about Rudy Gobert, and he's proposing random trades that have nothing to do with the thread, or Gobert.
Yes, every day.
Yes.
Rudy Gobert's a basketball player, and random trades are about basketball. Either way, telling someone "kill yourself" is incredibly childish.
I figured it was about bigs. This was a trade to get bigs. I'm sorry it hurt your feelings and sent you over the top irrationally. It was a huge bomb...I guess?
Don't feel bad. He does this regularly.
Actually, that would be TPark. I haven't told anyone to kill themselves in months, other than today.
They grow up so fast...
