Not really a surprise at this point, but Marco is going back to Italy: https://www.eurohoops.net/en/eurocup...irtus-bologna/
Thanks for 2014. Byeeeeeee!
Crazy how the Spurs were giving a fringe player a starting role while his backup for the majority of the season is now out of the league.
As Lonnie and KJ sat.
So many layers to those type of decisions that don’t just involve talent.......
This offseason getting better and better. I'm absolutely ready to finally enjoy watching some Spurs games, and not scream at the TV incessantly...
Whiteside for the minimum is great value.
Well clearly the situation has been rectified. It’s on the youngsters now to show they’re taken the steps needed.
Training Camp Roster (so far)
Murray, White, Mills, Weatherspoon, Jones
Walker, Vassell
DeRozan, Johnson, Reynolds
Lyles, Gay, Samanic, Bates-Diop
Aldridge, Poeltl, Eubanks
Have I missed anyone?
That's some basic ass, no-one-cares type of send off. Good riddance.

This is interesting ... So Boston didn't want Turner and couldn't find value to move him to a 3rd team in their talks...
Turner is going to be very difficult to move given his contract. It's not a horrific number, but 17.5M is a lot to pay for a center who wouldn't play a lot of second half minutes in a playoff series. Too much money to tie up in the center position, unless the player that center is an all star. I'd rather have Poeltl at 9 than Turner at 17.5M.
Yeah, Turner is a guy who it's easy to overrate because he's young, blocks shots and can hit the three. But he's not clearly better than Aldridge -- even defensively -- and he's way behind Poeltl in the impact stats people use to dismiss LMA. I think he could be a guy who's good enough where you don't complain about his contract. But he'll never be a good deal, and so many folks believed he was. To put it another way, Indy clearly chose Sabonis over him, and Sab is not that good either. I'd take him on the Spurs in a world where SA had lost Poeltl and was trading Aldridge. But you had Indy fans turning down 2 and cap space for Turner earlier in the off-season, and that was just insane.
Turners problem has been being on a nate mcmillian coached team...which tend to not be very good offensively... Also him and Sabonis have pretty much the same strengths and weaknesses so whenever one has the ball the other is just standing around doing nothing...
Would trade him in a nanosecond for LMA and laugh in the Pacers face after I was done. He would be so much better here...or anywhere really...than he has been in Indiana...
Nah, his problem has been that folks believed he'd get better and he didn't. That's not McMillan's fault since multiple players got better under him. Turner and Sabonis don't actually have overlapping games. They're just both centers who can't play PF, and Sabonis is better at being a center than Turner is.
Maybe he'd play better on another team, but it'd be because they hid his weaknesses, not because he's improving. That's the case with most player, and they're not being paid double the going rate of starting centers.
Sabonis is one of the best assist bigs in the league, averaging 5 per game. That's not a skill Turner has. I wouldn't even say they're very close in terms of effect with regards to winning, with Turner being a net negative and Sabonis being a net positive. If anything, Sabonis might be even more effective if Turner wasn't there clogging up the floor. I'd love to have Sabonis on the Spurs-- Turner, not so much. I don't know if Turner is even better than Hassan Whiteside, who just signed for the minimum.

Tyler Zeller
Fiesta colors.
He would fit in perfectly as the 3.5 that we need.
White/ Tre Jones
Vassell/ Q
Keldon/ Lonnie
Giannis/ Luka/ KBD
Poetl/ Eubanks
If some of the youngsters have to go in a S&T, so be it. Just not Keldon, please.
Celts are well positioned to take on LMA with their recently created TPE.
Spurs get a pick and no additional dead weight.
LMA gets to fight for a ring and make the Celts an even more prominent contender.
And after the season he can move on to POR if that was what he was wishing all along.
Celts get a shot at a le ( btw the TPE must be used within a year of its creation. )
Win-win-win scenario for both the Spurs and the Celtics and also for LMA.
Celtics got nothing for Hayward. They couldn't complete a sign and trade. They've just lost him for nothing.
Sounds more like a mid season deal than a before the season one. If theyre competing by mid season, that could be what the Celtics would do if theyre at the top of the standings.
I wonder how much the TE is for?
If Charlotte is just absorbing Hayward's deal into cap space, I believe the TE is for the amount of Hayward's first year salary.
Thanks boss.
