OMG! Stop doing copy paste! It’s so stupid! Like you’re so unfunny that you can’t even come up with your own original comments? No. You’re too stupid to even bother. It’s just too easy too copy someone else’s work and like they weren’t even trying to be funny. They were serious and here you are, just sitting there making fun of them! Who do you think you are? Clearly someone with a low IQ. Like we should all be loving and supportive of each other, especially the women! Why tare someone down like that when they didn’t even do anything to u. And I know you’re probably just going to laugh ant me and call me names too. It’s obvious you’re just threatened by supereor intelligence and you can’t handle it. Why don’t you actually work on your own comedy instead of making fun of everyone else just because you can’t come up with your very own original thoughts? Like do you know who I am? I’m a super genius. I have an IQ Of 170, I’m probably smarter than Albert Instein. By the time I was in kindgergarden I was reading at a college level. I actually have the intelligence to understand these kind of jokes but of course the uneducated masses wouldn’t even be able to begen to understand the depth of this modern art. Of course I like Classical Art more it takes a special person like me to to understand it. I made teachers so angry because I would often inform them how they were wrong. It’s not my fault I’m smarter than them on the subject. Also I’m an army spoce and my husband is fighting for your right to be stupid and make fun of people. He’s a specialist and he also is very intelligent. In two years he’ll probably own the the whole army. He’s too in everything he does. And when he onws tue army I’ll make sure he snipes anyone who makes fun of me so you better not make fun of me!!!! Anyway like, really you shouldn’t make fun of geniusus. We’re way smarter than you especially since you can’t even grasp the basics of scientific humor like this.

You may want to call a friend sparky.....

actually, since you asked, yes.
on behalf of the red-blooded American males of Spurstalk, please stop littering your posts with unbelievably gay cartoon pictures.


they are suitable for grade-school aged girls and sexuals only.


by the way, on the list of top 10 signs that a person might be a sexual, #1 is being male and expecting that terms such as 'emoticon' should be common knowledge among other males.


look at your post, post #18. tell me if you see any animated cartoon pictures, or if you just made your argument with words, like a man.


I count not one but two gy smiley faces.
...there you go again. you have no place to lecture me about facts.


I'm not saying you should commit suicide, but if the option to end your life were to present itself it might not be a bad idea to look into it ...

[SPARKY]

sup?

[callo1]

Solid grab.

Didn't break the bank and got more scoring.

Much more athletic than given credit for.

[Play Boban]

We need more high character guys on this team tbh.

[Sugus]

Not out of the woods yet..

YEAH BABY DEROZAN IS OFF THE TEAM!!!! LESSS GOOOO


Come on, Dude, "pay out". Metaphorically. Give the FO the praise it deserves.


I told you yesterday, this single move already makes this off-season plenty successful. The fact that Gay is also off the team from today's trade (!!!) and Patty also heavily rumored to leave..... Cream on the in' top.

I'm hardly able to contain my excitement TBH. You wanted direction, didn't you? Flexibility? This is the clearest pro-tanking move the Spurs could've made - AND they got multiple picks back for DeRozan, not losing the asset for nothing, AND other players on short-term deals that can be rerouted elsewhere if needed, AND (if I read the trade specifics correctly) they can still make that move towards the Good Collins.

Not in' bad for Wrong, I'll tell you. Well, I'd tell you, but I'd like to hear it from you much better.......

SPURS ACQUIRE DOUG MCDERMOTT

SAN ANTONIO (Aug. 8, 2021) – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have acquired forward Doug McDermott, a 2023 protected second round pick and the right to swap 2026 second round picks with the Indiana Pacers in exchange for San Antonio’s 2023 protected second round pick. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not announced.



McDermott, 6-8/225, averaged career-highs of 13.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 25.4 minutes while shooting .532 from the floor last season for Indiana. He was one of 10 players in the NBA to make over 100 three-pointers while shooting over .500 from the field last year. In three seasons with the Pacers, McDermott averaged 10.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 20.4 minutes while shooting .507 from the field and .411 from three-point range.



A seven-year veteran, McDermott is one of only nine active players in the NBA with over 600 three-pointers while shooting at least .400 from beyond the arc. A career .407 shooter from long range, McDermott holds averages of 9.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 20.6 minutes over 476 total games.



Originally drafted with the 11th overall selection in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets, McDermott was acquired by Chicago in a draft night trade, he spent two-plus years with the Bulls before being traded to Oklahoma City during the 2016-17 season. Dealt to New York prior to the 2017-18 campaign, McDermott split the year between the Knicks and Dallas Mavericks before signing with Indiana in July of 2018.



Named the 2014 National College Player of the Year after leading the country in scoring his senior year, McDermott was a consensus First-Team All-American in his final three seasons at Creighton and is one of three players in NCAA men’s basketball history to record over 3,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.



McDermott will wear No. 17 for the Silver and Black.

Ah. So Indy paid the Spurs for a TE. That's a of a deal by Wright. His good trades are outnumbering his bad. Likely SA's pick is top-55 protected and Indy's is lightly protected. It's not mich, but it's free.

Btb, the DeRozan trade isn't done yet. Hope the Ball investigation doesn't end up preventing it from going through. It shouldn't, and it could be the Spurs delaying as they continue to explore ways to use their flexibility.

so does that mean most likely scenario is that Spurs keep their 2nd rounder and get the Pacers 2nd? Cause initially I thought they just swapped picks, but if the protections are like that Spurs basically got a 2nd rounder for it. That’s definitely a good deal

Yeah. I don't know them yet, but my guess is the Spurs are getting the worst of Dallas', Houston's, Miami's and Indy's picks. If the Spurs convey their pick, SA probably the second-worst pick among those three instead.

Or it could be being reported weird and SA got that DAL/HOU/MIA pick clean.

[RC_Drunkford]

Ok but what are we doing with all these 2nd rounders? I guess we could use them to move up into the late first, with a lot of teams being in the tax or close to it. But what we really need are first round draft picks

Theyre also a lot harder to get. You’re not usually getting a first for a trade exception either.

The bulls investigation may impact us. If they get punished by stripping their picks we would need other picks to compensate.

[stephen jackson]

2 rounders are useless

[rankingtear]

2 rounders are useless

Except when they are not.

[Dex]

Yeah, it’s not like we’ve ever gotten a good player in the second round

[Teamduncan21]

2 rounders are useless

It can be packaged to move up. Like the Kelly olynyk Shane Larkin trade.
Or package many second rounds for a late first.

[mo7888]

We can use them to move up, or to sweeten a future trade acquisition, or attach them if they need to dump a contract (Zollins?)... it basically increases the flexibility we have..

[SAGirl]

Good deal.

[Mr. Body]

Seem to have squeezed additional value out of nothing, if true. Sounds great. This is how you use cap space to get what you can.

[CGD]

Per aggregators, Suns, Pels, and Nuggets were other teams interest, meaning at least Suns and Nuggets should be prime trade deadline targets when they explore moving McBob for assets.

[PrimeMinister]

There is some value to be found in the second round and at the very least it’s lube to get another deal done

[timvp]

More good use of cap space. The Spurs basically traded a $7 million trade exception they created through their cap space and got something like $7-8 million worth of second round picks. It's not a huge return obviously but it makes sense to keep piling up the assets.

Ah. So Indy paid the Spurs for a TE. That's a of a deal by Wright. His good trades are outnumbering his bad. Likely SA's pick is top-55 protected and Indy's is lightly protected. It's not mich, but it's free.

Yeah, that'd be my guess. The Spurs get some sort of second round pick in 2023 and the ability swap picks in 2026 if they want. In return, the Spurs had to give something .... so a top-55 protected second rounder was probably handed over. (The Spurs could give the rights to a player that's never coming over but with the NBA cracking down on tampering and possibly illegal trades right now, sending a protected second round pick is safer than sending the rights to some dude who is retired .)

Indiana has a couple second round picks in 2023 so my guess is they protected them in case one lands high in the second round (like maybe protected just 31 and 32).

But bottom line is the Spurs got something out of nothing so can't be too upset no matter what it is. If they actually get a pick in the 30s either year, that'd be a huge win. Those picks are really valuable ... and it looks like the Spurs get two cracks at getting lucky in that regard.
