+1 Cosign!!
I agree that he is bad. I dont want him as a player. I would want the pick. You have to be willing to take something on to get something. It would be one year of his salary. It is similer to the Wiggins trade that was talked about during the summer it is about the pick. Griffin is shorter contract but also worse value.
+1 Cosign!!
He could be K.G., A.D. or Giannis 2.0........
Or basically, a "poor man's" David Robinson but with more perimeter skills, better handles and the ability to bring it up the length of the court (consistently).
His jump off the floor and quickness in these highlights standout. Hopefully, he'll be able to gain 15 - 25 lbs. of muscle without losing too much quickness or verticality.
Drooling thinking about the possibilities........

It's the definition of insanity to think of the Spurs getting a top 3 pick. Even if their record is bad, the odds are still too low. Y'all are setting yourself up for disappointment.
Let us dream, man. And the Hornets weren't a top 3 pick (by record), but thanks to the lottery ended up in the top 3.
If the team needs to move some assets or an additional pick to try and get him. Do it......
Side note: We'll likely not end up with a top 3 pick and will wind up with another guard or center. LMAO
I'm just dreaming, but a good fall back option could be the Senegalese player that someone put highlights up of. Seems pretty raw on offense, though, and would probably be a second round pick.
In the video they claim that his NBA comparison is Dikembe Mutombo, so got take that one with a huge grain of salt.
I've been keeping a close eye on him ever since the NCAA season started. We need his skillset in the worst way.
Another example of having no answer for teams’ making Lamarcus defend the pick and roll. Down the stretch, couldn’t stop g leaguers like Tate and Brown once he switched.
Jakob’s no better.
sounds like a terrible guy to use a top 20 pick on
How did Rockets get Christian Wood? How is it possible Jarret was on a trading block and Spurs were not in the picture? Spurs need another big, and they need that player fast.
brandon clarke isn't a worldbeater by any stretch but we'd be much better off with him than Luka, and i dont see how that's even debatable given what we've seen from our bigs this year
On Wood - Big market and no compe ion for minutes.
On Allen - Future first is the cost and a costly contract extension ( 18 mil per rumored asking price ).
Spurs should do everything they can to get Myles Turner. He'd fit like a glove on this roster and play better than on the Pacers. Of course I wouldn't trade any of White, Murray, Walker, KJ and Vassell, but I could see a Poeltl/Mills package working. Pacers been rumored to wanting to move Turner for a minute now
Doubt that gets it done. Suspect they will want a first included.
Maybe, I don't know. But I don't see any other attainable bigs with that kind of skillset. Spurs should aggressively pursue Turner, which they obviously won't do anyway cause they don't make trades
Turner is on point for defensive player of the year and is shooting more 3’s. Agee he is a great fit but if Indy is looking to unload him you will need to offer a young prospect and a pick. D White and a first makes sense.
From the little I've seen, Turner isn't that mobile either. Drafting a mobile 4 remains my preference.
the reality is we need both a starting 4 and a 5. Hopefully one compliments the other. Jakob is a backup at best.
I didn't know that. 4.2 blocks per game is ridiculous. He's also only shooting 28% from 3 though, which is not that appealing. No way I would trade White, but maybe a 2023 first rounder might make sense. We have enough young pieces on the team, we need some established players to compliment them, not more 2-3 year projects.
if we could somehow get Turner and sign Collins, we'd look incredible
What happened to players like Kylor Kelley who was signed a 10-day then immediately waived?
watch the play at 1:41 and tell me again that Turner isn't mobile
Despite his deficiencies (soft, poor defensive rebounding, inability to handle behemoths in the post), he would be a good fit (legit floor spacing rim protector/anchor, 24, reasonable contract through '23, seeming cultural fit).
I don't see them being interested in Poeltl/Mills though. They have Bitadze in the pipeline to backup Sabonis, five rotational guards (Brogdon, LeVert, Lamb, A. Holiday, McConnell) and like a lot of teams, a gaping hole at the four.
Thing is, the Spurs have a more pressing long term need at the four than the five too, so even if they could do something like sign and trade DeRozan for Gordon + in the off season, they'd be better off keeping him over rerouting him.

If we fall to the back of the lottery (or outside) I really like Greg Brown from UT. if we can trade one of our vets for a late first I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on his teammate Kai Jones.
Isn't Prichard still in the FO there (he's always been a LMA fan)... LMA plus a 1st taking back some filler might get it done.
how would we even get myles turner? why would indy take our for him?
