    I'll take Chinook's input and say that we do give some minutes to the highest lottery pick since Duncan...

    After ten games into the season:

    Murray/ Lonnie/ Tre
    White/ Vassell/ Mills or Q (Mills for offensive spark, Q for a defensive stop)
    DeMar/ Keldon/ Q
    Lyles/ Gay/ Samanic
    Aldridge/ Poetl/ Eubanks

    Mills needs to take a back seat and take more of a mentor role.

    Lonnie's improved playmaking can make him the engine of the second group.
    I actually like this roster quite a lot, as long as our young guys play more minutes than the last few seasons.

    Spurs really just got held hostage by a non Offensive backup Center in the modern NBA because they didn’t want the Kawhi trade to look any worse

    Somehow the Kawhi trade did get worse by them signing Jakob under these conditions lol

    The more time passes the more it looks like they really do like what they have.

    I like Yak. Glad he's back. Defense, defense, defense. Refreshing af to see it being emphasized after years of worrying about "spacing".

    ST thinks everyone is overpaid.

    Two-way players can play up to 50 games this season, right?
    I think it was 45 days up, not games. But those only counted during the time the d-league was in season. Beginning and end of the year is free. If there's no d-league at all next year or just little pockets, those guys are pretty much going to be with the big club as much as they want.

    Vassell+Keldon bench combo floor: Kawhi + DG

    What does this mean? Do we still have a shot at landing Harden?

    This forum is re ed. This is barely overpaying. A little high but more than reasonable. Hopefully this is a precursor to LA leaving.
    Again, I don’t think (all) people are upset on the numerical value of the deal but the mis-matched duo of LA and DDR with Poeltl. All 3 need court time and 2 occupy the same position. Does it change your opinion of the deal if LA stays, the Spurs finish 11th and he leaves in FA?

    On one hand, I'm annoyed that SA loses out on a roster spot because they had to go this high. Even one million less over the light of the deal would've been enough to get them that last spot.

    On the other hand, it's clear that this was the most the Spurs could offer. Jakob taking it could be he was willing to work with the team in order to come back. Other teams might not've had that same limitation. I still would've preferred getting something tangible in a sign-and-trade. But if you actually look at whom NOP could use in a trade, it was worse than overpaying.

    If this was literally any other franchise, I'd say all signs/moves since the restart point to LMA getting moved.

    It just makes so much sense until he's back in a Spurs uniform in a month and the Spurs are paying 11mil for his backups
    Hey, dumb dumb a lot of back ups are making that same range in money.

    And Aldridge is gone after this season maybe sooner & the team likes what Poeltl + Eubanks bring to the table.

    I would have been fine with a stopgap like Nerlens Noel, but he would have likely asked for $6 - $8 million with the amount other mid - tier centers are asking. Might as well stick with the devil you know, etc......

    They already had a shot. Now they have two.

    With the way the PF rotation looks, one hopes Samanic can make a giant development leap...

    Gay has one foot out the door to Father Time

    Fits with the timing of losing out on Poeltl. Costly contingency, though.

    If they were willing to eat Adams' deal, they were probably willing to pay Jakob a pretty penny in an S&T. Dunno if the Spurs would've been able to take back enough salary to even accommodate that kind of deal.

    A good surprise this season would be Samanic being good. That would raise the out of the team's ceiling.

    Right now what the team is hoping for is for the Vassell + Keldon bench combo to raise the ceiling. Samanic would be gravy.

    Over a couple of million bucks? So the Spurs could have $60 Million in space rather than $52 Million?

    How is Vassel getting paid more than white and Keldon? Draft position?

    Yup. 8M in extra space > Jakob in the setting the Spurs are in imo.

    Any of the young guys taking the next step would raise the ceiling. Samanic being a starter would be great. But Vassell or Johnson moving into SL and changing the defensive culture there would also add a lot of wins
