Forgetting someone?
damn man I wanted Sharpe. People dont know that he can shoot 3s. Roy Williams just didn't use him that way.
Forgetting someone?
Has to be all star level upside to be worth it.
Late teens down into the 20's
​
We both know damn well they dont do trades. Dont get creative or shake things up.
Believe me i wish they were more proactive but pop/rc ,and wrong dont operate that way. This fa will tell the story.they still probably feel they are a healthy derrick white away from the playoffs
They must’ve thought they were drafting for the Austin Spurs. This guy is not NBA material.
Would I have liked a trade down if he in fact was the guy? Sure. But intel may have had the Thunder with their boatload of picks having him on the radar at 16, and there was no option unless drafting him at 12.
We’ll see if the other guys available at that spot pan out. Primo will be in Austin and what he looks like at the end of next year should be what people comp to vs. others in first round. He’s basically a year younger.
For those looking to tank next year, this is better than having a guy who will contribute immediately. Much rather have him than a Kispert or Duarte (very old).
This does signal that Demar is all but out the door, and all cap space will be to target bigs.
Exactly. You don’t get to say “this is a rebuild” while doing nothing with DDR, LMA, etc during the season.
Whoa, whoa, whooooooaaa!
Did Brian run over your dog? Shag your wife? WTF man???
LMAO even Primo is shocked:
“Honestly, I told my agent to shut up when he told me. I had to see it on the screen first”.
Collins would be dope, but the other two might be best to keep in your poop box
Wow, Spurs about to start getting hit with trade requests the moment the tanking starts in earnest. They need a GM that has a better handle on being opportunist is and managing assets. I don't think guys want to play in the Bilbo with the dwarves lineup.
Good for Primo being drafted so high. I’m not gonna hate on him. By all accounts it was a reach, but it sounds like he did really well in combine and workouts. Clearly this pick is about ceiling potential and he will only be 22 at end of his rookie contract. Yes, they should have traded back unquestionably if he was their guy, but who knows if that was really an option. Thankfully SL is in only a couple of weeks to get a glimpse.
Primo quotes to the media floating around on twitter now.
on being picked 12:"Going that high, I don’t know if I was ready for that."
Even Primo knew he shouldn't have gone that high"Honestly, I told my agent to shut up when he told me. I had to see it on the screen first.”
I had the same feeling about George Hill and Derrick White and they both worked out okay.
He has that upside. Confident in that.
Yeah, I think this is it. The only real trade partner was OKC and the Thunder probably weren't doing it. There were too many teams right after the Spurs who are pretty astute -- GSW, Indiana, for example, and trading back to the NYK wasn't happening because the Knicks actually got rid of those picks in the 20s.
The picture might be there were no valid trades and those that were there -- deeper -- risked losing the guy they wanted.
That’s a nightmare because outside of Collins SA should not even think about locking any of these bigs up for years or significant money. Just one year deals and reset for a better FA class/stay flexible for trades.
Seriously, it took Jerry Sloanavich a full year before Derrick got any minutes.
They shouldn't even be considering locking up Collins with big money.
It’s the truth. It’s hard to say its on Wright since we know Pop/RC loom large over him and he probably doesn’t hold much sway but fact is nothing good has really happened under his watch either and he is the GM. So hard to see his value to the organization honestly.
Shaken by the pick of Primo? I'm still stunned by the pick but, big picture, it's not a huge deal. Yeah, they probably could have traded down and added an asset but if he was the player they really wanted, then just picking him isn't something that will shake my faith in their drafting ability. We'll see if we get any info about how high he was on the board, if they considered trading back, etc.
What the Spurs do in free agency could shake my faith, though. I was never on the "trade DeRozan and Aldridge for something, anything " bandwagon but they need to be smart this summer. This is definitely a summer where things can go off the rails and cause me to completely lose faith.
Ask me again in a week, tbh.
“Spurs told me I was their Primo Pick and mentioned I would be the perfect fit at the 4.”
timvp - ^ see this is how you spin your garbage FO after 3 years of absolute clown moves
Seems to me this guy's ceiling is Lonnie with a bit better 3 ball.
This roster makes no sense at all.
