Quick, kick the tyres on nesmith!

[Leetonidas]

Just trade that bum Vassell for Collins and call it an offseason

[LeBowen]

This guy is such a bad mouthpiece.

No one's interested in Vassell's contract.

[spurraider21]

lol Haynes putting out that Giannis is not happy with lillard getting waived

im about 400% sure gainnis was all for the move but he has to put something like this out so he doesnt come across as an asshole

only way to prove me wrong is for giannis to demand a trade

[ginobilized]

I can honestly say I didn't see this Bucks/Pacers move coming

Siakam would be a phenomenal addition to about any team, but, especially the Spurs.
Pacers have several players that would improve our roster.

The coachless Knicks were an odd choice for Yabusele for $6m/yr

Man I can't wait for SpursTalk to constantly about John Collins.

Chris Haynes reporting Giannis isn’t happy with the Dame news lol. Chris Haynes is useless but he’s obviously being fed that info from Giannis camp.

[SpursFan86]

Giannis “not pleased” with the Bucks’ decision to waive Lillard, per Chris Haynes…

What the ? Are they not talking with Giannis before doing these things?

Ppl need to get to speed with the fact that the Fox addition means no more big salaries like that can be added. It's not going to happen.

So Giannis recruited Turner, but is mad the Bucks waived Lillard? OK then...

Knicks head coach was very high on Yabusele Maybe he can play when they sit KAT at crunch time.

how else were they supposed to get Turner? Giannis trying to save face tbh

No, he's just saying the right things.

Just in: The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Damian Lillard and stretching the remaining $113 million on his contract in order to acquire Myles Turner, sources tell ESPN. Lillard's two seasons in Milwaukee come to an end as he rehabilitates a torn Achilles tendon.

Dismantled their championship roster for this. I'm glad I'm a spurs fan.

[Jordan Jackson]

I don’t think Giannis was ever in play. He just does a good job of putting pressure on his franchise to compete. Plus, the Spurs were never getting him.

Hope Wemby learns to use his power in that manner at some point. Do not let the Spurs brainwash you with that winning with friendship nonsense. You win with talent.

[BatManu20]

Why would Giannis be upset about losing old Dame for a better player when Dame isn't even going to play this season? Agree with spurraider that he's probably just saving face tbh.

[Leetonidas]

Man I can't wait for SpursTalk to constantly about John Collins.

I don't just want Collins only, I want them to dump Vassell and his ty deal. Backcourt is crowded and he's too unreliable. Peaked on D as a rookie and he's too small to play the 3 reliably. Shipping him off is best for both sides imho

[Mugen]

Go get Siakam tbh

Agreed, though it's not happening. Spurs are giving Vassell a long leash and probably want to keep his contract for now so they can match salaries in a potential future trade for a better player down the road tbh.

[TD 21]

Haynes is well known as Lillard's right hand man, but he's also close with Antetokounmpo.

This is likely PR spin (similar to the Holiday trade), so Antetokounmpo can keep his (perceived) pristine/squeaky clean public image intact.

Despite the fit, unless the Bucks have flexibility to add a credible stopgap PG and/or 3 and D option, I don't get the move.

[LeBowen]

Spurs and future salary matching is the equivalent of Lakers and focusing on next year's free agency, tbh.

[baseline bum]

Why are people so high on Yabusele? He can shoot but is also a complete sieve on defense. Due to his size he can pretty much only play power forward. 76ers were awful when he wasn't on the floor and a little less awful when he was. I guess the thinking is he is always paired with Kornet or Victor to protect him defensively?

He'd be cheap and can shoot better than Sochan. We're probably talking Mamu role here, though might as well just keep Mamu for that tbh.
