I too wish to know these examples!
So we basically we will need to trade LA to keep Jokob.
I too wish to know these examples!
This might not just be minutes related, he might actually prefer to be elsewhere because I'm sure he sees the writing on the wall with DeRozan and the pathetic lack of play making beyond him and realizes even starting and playing 25-30 mpg, it's unlikely he'll be maximized here.
Given how much this organization loves being poached and giving away good assets in general and how unlucky they are, watch the Pistons or some other team come with a bloated (in excess of the MLE) offer sheet and them replace him with another net negative to add to the collection.
It's logical with the construction of the roster. Aldridge can't defend "PF's" anymore and they can't afford a non shooter in the starting lineup.
Even if you want to argue to balance out their minutes more, Aldridge would have sulked and possibly asked out again. Given what they've been trying to achieve, they couldn't have that.
not surprised he might want to be elsewhere and i don't blame him
Lyles is already better than Metu, and Luka will be soon. Metu will be lucky to be on the roster if there is any contention for the last spot. His year 3 is only partially guaranteed.
Dr. Strange used the Eye to scan 14 million futures with Jakob on any team , and in zero of them was he maxed by any team. Here’s a tip: if your name isn’t Anthony Davis or Karl Anthony Towns, you’re not getting a Max deal going forward. No center not in that group is. It’s a little mans game now, and only elite PGs and SFs are seen as franchise pieces.
Spurs players usually don't do much when they leave outside of KL.
Dont blame him. Barely had more like 12mpg because he exclusively played behind lamarcus.
He consistently was the best Defender on the Team. He is one of the best Blocker and Screen Setters of the league, above average in Defense and Rebounds and efficent on the offensive end. And even though he is limited skillwise, he is very mobile which actually is good for this league. But because of Reasons unknown to anyone but Pop, Poeltl was the Player with the least amount of minutes amongst regular players. And that includes Belinelli, Gay and Forbes.
No matter Stat you look at, with him on the Court the Team was better. Not because he is the greatest Player of all time, but because he actually can defend and the spurs dont have many Defenders on the roster. And that showed game-in and game-out.
So yeah i can see why he wants out.
I think many people underestimate him. I was Supporting DJ when he was a rookie and people still are underestimating him. Now I dont know how good Metu will be but he is at least an NBA player and I think better then Lyles. I also believe he would be a much better C then Lyles. As you pointed out next year is only partially guaranteed so now is the time to see what he can do against NBA players. Why should we wait till he is on another team and he turn out good and be I wish we still had him.
Dude got buried behind Aldridge and Gay.
It makes sense on the surface, looking strictly at the star power of the names ahead of him.
But his impact on the team should be taken more into consideration.
Maybe suck ass a little less and you’ll play more
He’s not going to stay for the right price. He thinks he’s the 7 foot Austrian Michael Jordan apparently
and that’s all he is. At a position no one values unless you’re defending the 3 good true big men left in the NBA
All true good centers are shooting trees these days, without that he is a replacement level player without any particulay good skillset, that separates him from the rest.

Jokic, Embeed, Porzingis are all max players as a centers.
As Lando Calrissian would say...this Kawhi deal is getting worse all the time...
sad day when lamelo bal picked for nba.
Bigs are victims of the pussification of the NBA, tbh.
What was your point?
Just trade Aldridge for whatever we can get and give Poeltl the starting C spot.
-That is kinda interesting, Baynes, Boban, and potentially Poeltl.
-Agreed, I think Aldridge could even be gone by the off-season. He could be playing 30mpg as soon as next season.
Robert Parish would average 11.2 MPG in today's NBA.
He can be at Clipps for the repeat next season with Kiwi. Not as if the Clipps going again with Noah.
Max? I said, in excess of the MLE; meaning something like 4/$40 million. That's the only type of offer sheet that's going to give the Spurs pause.
In addition to the players horseshue listed, Adebayo, Ayton and Jackson Jr. are all likely or at least candidates to receive the max on their rookie extensions, as well as Gobert on his third contract.
