Caught me lol
My vibe on Jabari is that he never got over not being the first pick.
Caught me lol
even if he winds up going elsewhere, the fact that Durant is now the second prominent star player to single out the spurs as the team he wants to play for is a good omen
I can see us going after Cameron Johnson instead of Durant
A gulf away
These finals are making the strong case for keeping Sochan and Castle (defense, grinders). Agree on Vassell (and Keldon).
i dont think the spurs will top this. though interestingly gambo said he hates the idea of that deal

They’re 10 bucks a ticket. I get bored here in Houston. What team is going to offer 3 FRPs for him? Seriously. You said he’s worth 3 FRPs. No team is going to offer Hou 3 FRPs for Smith. Sengun maybe. Thompson for sure. But Smith???
He isn’t a very good defender at all. I don’t know where you get that.
He is a good rebounder. I wouldn’t say excellent. But I’m picky like that. And it’s been 3 years. He lost his rhythm for all 3 years? How? If his contract were up today he wouldn’t even get the rookie max.
and paying a heavy luxury tax bill
that's not a problem at all due to the cap increasing by 10% every year
RJ Barrett
They tanked which is why they only played him 47 games. He wasn't injured most of the time. They did the same with Collins.
Same can be said for Jeremy Sochan, yet here we are. The 13th seed in the west has apparently 8 untouchable players
yeah that whole thing seems highly su ious to me, but there is Spurs staff in Spurs shirts there with him (not just Moris Hadzija in this pic), so who knows.
I wouldn't trust him with that. Other folks say that's the offer for Booker. Toronto just traded for Ingram at the deadline. Why in the world would they now want KD too?
He’s making stuff up tbh. Smith averaged 8 points a game in October. 12 in November and 12 in December. The 3 months that he played before he broke his hand. His offense was bad before he broke his hand. His shooting numbers are awful too.
Spurs staff would make sense if this is a transaction between the Spurs and Suns. It’s like a “hey, this is my car that you want to drive. You test drive it and I’ll be in the passenger seat.”and paying a heavy luxury tax bill

Keeping Devin would be nice, but if you bring in KD you almost have to trade him. Otherwise you'll only have about 23 million left until the luxury tax with only 8 players on the roster.
The whole "Spurs aren't interested" narrative sounds like some bull . So they aren't interested, but want to sign KD's highschool friend as an assistant coach? Yeah right. And as of now, I'm not even sure the Spurs are including #14 in the package, let alone a future pick. They are maneuvering very smart.We don't have extra future firsts to just throw into a deal.
KD is shutting down all other offers and the Spurs are telling the Suns take the damn deal or there won't be one. If Brian Wright finds a third team with a center for the Suns this should happen soon.
And I see the games for free alot closer. Desmond Bane just went for 4 1sts. A player like Jabari on a rookie contract is very valuable. We disagree on his defense and rebounding. I’m not going to argue that. His development has been stunted playing on a deep team like the rockets. Some team would definitely value him at 3 1sts. He brings a lot to the table and it’s hard to find versatile players in the NBA. Especially ones that are young and talented. That said the Rockets are not trading him. It’s a non starter.
I’ll also add that Jabari is actually younger than Amen Thompson. He is going to be a valuable player in this league for another 10 years.
Where did you read/see that Pelton says it's an offer the Spurs made?
According to this article (as I understand it), it was a trade proposal from Kevin Pelton, not an offer from the Spurs
https://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/...2-pick-options
It was on ESPN this morning. I have no knowledge of whether it’s an official offer or not but I makes sense. I get the impression the Spurs are not offering any picks at all or a future protected pick. If the Suns have a offer in the table for pick 10 or pick 14 and they are not taking it they are pretty stupid
he's gon be a Spur. Y'all can try to deny it all you want.
Yes there was. Bucks insider said he had it on good authority that the deal is already done. Keldon supposedly told somebody it's done. The rumor been out there.
who is the guy talking?
can you provide a link to this bucks insider? or a story about keldon?Yes there was. Bucks insider said he had it on good authority that the deal is already done. Keldon supposedly told somebody it's done. The rumor been out there.
I live in Hou homie. How are you “closer?” Bane is a much better player than Smith. Orlando needs a scoring wing and one that can shoot bc Suggs can’t shoot worth . Name brings shooting and scoring to a team in need of both.
Smith is the 3rd pick overall. If he was good enough, he wouldn’t be stunted anywhere. Houston has a glaring need for a consistent scorer which is why they put up with Green to begin with. Sengun can score and then nobody else really can. Van Vleet can get hot but he isn’t consistent. Green puts up shots like crazy but part of his skillset if you will is that he’s one of two people on the team that can. Smith disappears into the background offensively. He can’t dribble drive. He can’t shoot the ball very well. He can’t post and he doesn’t create for others or himself.
Thompson is the only hope for Hou if they strike out with Durant when it comes to scoring. It’s not going to happen next year but maybe in 3 years time. And Smith is in his 4th year same as Sochan who people want to extend. Where is the offer then? In fact it was reported that Houston is fine letting him become a RFA. They’re in no rush.
This is the dude

I literally put the second tweet underneath the video, so I don't have to answer that question
the second tweet does not name the person speaking, so no need to be a cunt about it
I don't know dudes name. I've seen the podcast before, but I have no clue what the name of that is either.

Hmm I guess I’m going to cheer for KD? Tough tbh. We had lost so many playoff series to them that I don’t know how i feel about it. Like I still say we win the championship in 2012 of the ThunderRefs weren’t rigging a KD vs LeBron finals. And 2016 was bull too. That “foul” on DG for being 2 hand pushed by Steven Adams into Durant was complete bull . We probably still lose to the Warriors but you never know. And then the next year with Beta going to the Warriors and Kawhi getting injured. Ugh
Only good thing is he’s been irrelevant in the playoffs since his warriors run. Idk boys if I can cheer for this dude for the next 2 years.
