Does CP3 have a future in coaching?
Me preparing to root for CP3 after hating him the last 15 years
tbh
Does CP3 have a future in coaching?
Eating the LaVine deal for the next two(3rd tradable expiring) years for lifted protection and an additional 1st makes even more sense now.
This is a placeholder move to buy time.
Did you pay any attention to his time in OKC.
I think this might be as much as a reason as any why he decided to come here. Get a year learning how to coach from Pop.
would be nice to get any semblance of shooting tbh
welp...
Man these woj bomb are more and more pathetic
BWrong sees your request and offers you a Fathead.
Guess DJJ won't be back with them.
smart move tbh and a good contract too
Does that mean they're letting Derrick Jones go? He's not a bad option for starting SF, even though he came down quite a bit from the height of his hype in the WCF.
damn....
Low key think there could be a coaching track for CP3 in San Antonio too.
Mavs gonna let DJJ go. Would be a nice pickup tbh.
Paul is going to be at least as much a coach as a player this season.
Yeah, if the Spurs could get DJJ that'd be a great pick up tbh.
lol sleepy chris...
pop will bubblewrap chrissys hammys after every game and sit him out all back to backs...
Klay for 17 mill would be nice.
I wouldn't be opposed on a short deal.
He turned down 2/48 to stay in GS so keep dreaming
So back to Collins in NOP. Now it's being officially reported that SAC and NOP are looking for a third team that can provide a center to fit into an Ingram trade. So I'm thinking:
Collins and Barnes to NOP
Ingram to SAC
_______ to SA
The Kings have to send out at least $10.6 Million on top of Barnes to make the trade happen. NOP can take back another $10 Million or so in order to stay below the hard cap, but you'd have to imagine they don't want to take back more than a tiny amount to preserve flexibility.
So with all this in mind, is there a combination of players that works? Huerter is the most straight-forward matching salary, but I don't know if SAC would prefer to move him. I also don't particularly like him for the Spurs given that their guard spots are already spoken for. Lyles and McDaniels would work, but then the Spurs would have to figure out something to do with them. I mean, ideally the Spurs would want some kind of center. The upside is that that combination frees up another $4 Million or so in cap space, pushing the team back up to around $20 Million even after Paul. I just don't know what they'd use it on at this point.
I think the team is higher on Collins and view last year as a down year due to changing roles and never getting comfortable. Even if he's not in the long-term plans, they're not going to throw him away just because the rabble at SpursTalk has decided he sucks forever. They have no replacement, first of all. Can't imagine throwing him away and going with Mamu and Bassey as backups. That's crazy. I look forward to the anguish.
That they don't have a complete rotation isn't an issue in July. I think one thing we're seeing is that Collins isn't market value for the role he has in SA. I think there has been enough evidence to suggest he's better as an inside player than he is as a stretch player. With Wemby, he'll never have that role for enough minutes every game. I don't disagree that he's not likely to move. But that's not why I'm talking about these hypotheticals. I made like a dozen mock off-seasons with zero belief any would come true.
But at the same time, we're at a cross roads where the team has way more cap space than they needed if they were just going to sign Paul. I've speculated they were planning on trading for him, and I feel that speculation is better supported now than it was when I made it originally. However, whether they intended it or not, the team has sacrificed to create a nice chunk of space that should go somewhere. I wouldn't bet on it going toward guaranteeing Graham just to save him. I do think at least one other moderate move is there to be made.
