    I threw enough mud on the wall it sticks

    Waiting at a roulette table at Vegas, my wife was fascinated I kept winning, nothing big, just small bets while waiting. She asks how. I play 2 columns out of 3, each placing a chip. It pays 2-1. 2 columns is 66% odds! Nothing sexy, just passing time.

    I just pass time here at ST when not busy and my numbers are good. Like roulette at Vegas, just passing time
    Play big money on both columns but for only one spin.

    That table didn't have 0 and 00 on it?

    Yup they do. In Europe only 0, and that takes a few % away. But I just do that to kill time

    So they're supposed to go with Primo, Jones and blank at PG? Another random body, like A. Holiday, isn't preventing a tank. It's just another body (who's 25, by the way) to get through the season.

    They'll be plenty of opportunity for the youth, but you also want to put them in as good a position as possible to succeed.
    They still will be a bottom three team next year.

    Bringing in another minimal/random ball handler isn't going to stop this team from being the odds on favorite to be the worst in the league.

    We don't need him to be good. We need him to be below league average for a starting PG, which is what he is.
    FiveThirtyRaptor WAR PG 1 minute minimum

    40) 2.9 Tre Jones, Damian Lillard, Payton Pritchard
    WAR is a ulative stat. Note that Jones played 92 more minutes than Lillard

    Total Raptor, which is a rate stat, 1141 minimum (as close as I could slide below 1148).

    13) 3.5 Derrick White
    15) 3.0 Dejounte Murray, Terry Rozier

    20) 2.3 Delon Wright (better defensive Raptor than his replacement Dejounte Murray)
    21) 2.2 Tre Jones
    22) 2.1 LaMelo Ball, Jalen Brunson, James Harden, De'Anthony Melton

    36) 0.8 George Hill, Bones Hyland

    46) -0.5 Cory Joseph, Monte Morris

    56) -1.6 Patty Mills, Shake Milton

    Offensive Raptor

    12) 3.1 Dejounte Murray

    38) 0.4 Alex Caruso, Derrick White
    40) 0.3 Bruce Brown, Amir Coffey, Tre Jones, Coby White
    44) 0.2 De'Anthony Melton, Patty Mills

    49) -0.4 Cory Joseph, Raul Neto, Gabe Vincent

    55) -1.1 George Hill

    Defensive Raptor

    2) 3.1 Derrick White

    6) 2.0 Eric Bledsoe
    7) 1.9 Patrick Beverly, George Hill, Tre Jones

    24) 0.0 Dejounte Murray
    25) -0.1 Reggie Jackon, Cory Joseph

    57) -1.8 Patty Mills

    I expect a veteran pg signing. They need more depth at pg.

    They'll be a joke of a team if Primo isn't ready yet and can't cut it at pg when Jones is not in the lineup.

    but wouldn't it help with the objective of tanking? its sink or swim time for the young guys.

    Even with a veteran pg the Spurs are still going to be bad, one of the worst in the league.

    They won't be signing a superstar player that will add many wins.

    Give me Tre/Primo experiments in early season, then am up J-Rich as we approach the deadline to increase his trade value. After that, Wesley should have enough seasoning in Austin to enter the fold.

    Or trade, like Joseph for Langford. The Pistons have a logjam at the point and in the back court period and have Burks to serve as the veteran mentor to Cunningham, Ivey, Hayes.

    unless the spurs become a part of some massive trade, in which the spurs take on salary ballast, i think they are more or less done in FA.

    I think that is very likely. LA desperately needs out of RWs contract, and BRK has been served notice to move Durant. It’s likely that neither of those trades happen without a cap broker.

    I agree in principle. Too many moving parts to not include a team with lots of cap room.

    But there are only so many assets to go around. The Lakers have almost none to offer and the Nets will insist on a haul of their own in return for Durant. Which other team(s) will offer up enough assets to meet the Nets' asking price and still have there be something left over for the Spurs?
