    This makes the McDermott deal look a little less bad.

    Using their assets which in this case is cap space is smart, to acquire more assets makes tons of sense.

    Kudos!

    Still not a fan of this deal, but whatever in the end. Hopefully McDermott proves to be somewhat useful.

    Yeah, overall this signing is still pretty bad, IMO. Poor defender (probably bottom 20 defender in the league, if we're being honest) heading into his 30s is not a playertype I'd want a rebuilding Spurs team to target . . .

    Do we know if Doug's contract is fully guaranteed?

    If he had MLE teams going after him, I'm guessing it's fully guaranteed. Maybe $2-4M unguaranteed in the final season but I'd be surprised because it makes sense that the Spurs would have to overpay to stop him from going to a contender with a more defined role.

    Three of the 16 worst defenders in the league on the same team? Big oof.

    At least Walker can generate events with deflections, steals and blocks and generally be entertaining to watch sometimes

    The other 2 just stand there

    In all fairness, DeRozan and McDermott were never on the same team. (And in even more fairness, as I reread, you didn't say that.)

    (But I get your general point though, I wouldn't want any of those bums on that list.)

    3 of the worst 6, actually. Another reason why the Forbes signing is so infuriating. McDermott's place on that list gives me bad memories of Belinelli on defense.

    We will see. You’re probably right but I certainly hope Sa was smarter than overpaying for someone like that. I’m hoping that Doug knew he wasn’t getting anything better and like signing a higher dollar 2 year deal vs 3 year mle. 14M x 2 > 9M x 3 for him I’m hoping.

    Collins has to be mostly team option or non guaranteed for it to not look bad.

    McDermott had twice as many dunks as Walker last year, to be fair.

    Then again, I'm not sure if that's a plus for McDermott or just a minus for Walker, tbh.

    Walker dunks could bring the oohs and aahs, though

    Anyway, various pacers podcasts had a stat I don't fully remember, something like the most number of assists between 2 players in the NBA last year was actually Sabonis to McDermott. Not just the pacers team, but the entire NBA. I don't recall exactly how it made sense, but there you go.

    Lots of Sabonis with the ball in the high post and McDermott movement I suppose.

    Don't know who's doing that on the Spurs. Maybe Young who did pile on assists in Chicago.
