Even if available, as I've said from the start Eason doesn't strike me as a Spur.
Yeah, easily. Turner is solid, but he's also a 26 year old role player, while Davis and Eason are unproven at this level and at minimum, the latter more than likely has a role player ceiling. He'd also have no chance to start over Johnson.
I wouldn't mind it. The most important thing is that the Spurs have a better roster next season than last. They should show interest in all those players and see what they can get. Poeltl and Richardson are likely on the table, if they get a quality C and PF back for that they should improve
Yet another team trying to offload their highly paid problem. Big men with foot problems are boat anchors.
There has been enough smoke now about the Center position to make me think the Spurs really are looking at their options to trade away Poeltl and perhaps draft his replacement.
This rumor supports that idea.
Turner isn't as good as Poeltl, but he would be a solid transition guy if we trade away Jakob and draft a C.
In the Money Ball, Billie Beane finally trade Giambi so the manager was forced to play his lineup. As much as I like Keldon, the guy is too small at PF and hurts the teams defense more. I rather Spurs move Keldon to get the right pieces tbh.
I’d be fine signing him as a FA, but to give up assets and still overpay him seems too much for me.at this talk of returning McNuggets to the Pacers store
His defensive shortcomings are way over blown. He’s a net neutral player, 114 Ortg 114 Drtg, but more importantly, he’s the best goddamned shooter on the team, and the only one who can create space.
Oh, and Art Howe wasn’t President of the Oakland As baseball club. If he were, he would have fired Billy Bean.
i like Turner, but Poeltl was much improved this past season from a consistency standpoint... i'm much less inclined to pull the trigger than i would have been earlier. depends on the price, i guess.
If you want Turner sign him outright the following off-season.
If Poeltl could become even a 60% FT shooter, he's be a great value next season. Beyond that...go get your bag somewhere else.
good.
I do believe the Spurs are looking for a big man who can shoot. Jakob is too limited offensively although he’s a good player, but I think they are looking for someone who can give their offense more. Interesting.
Also thinking usually when rumors get reported it’s something that didn’t go down but the interest was there. Maybe the Spurs inquired about him when they were considering Jakob trades mid season.
If the spurs were truly interested we wouldn’t know…….
That’s good to know… or not
No thanks. Missed 40 and 35 games the last 2 seasons due to ankle and foot injuries.
You mean like Jakob Poeltl? Or do you think he going to re-up for 9 million a year again?
Poeltl at $15-18mil > Turner at $25-28mil
Yup I like Poeltl getting dunk on by athletic bigs for 15-18mil. You buy a Kia, it’s what you get.
if you are a tim duncan fan then you know there's no shame in getting dunked on. it's often a product of being *almost* in the right position to make a tough play
Getting dunked on trying to block is different. The best big men get dunk on. Poeltl gets dunked from behind, from overhelping, including lobs, not including getting overpowered by athletic bigs.
If the spurs give Poeltl 18 million a year we need to burn the building down
He traded Carlos Peña, an all star first baseman and iirc rookie of the year candidate so hatteburg would play. Unfortunately John Mabry played a lot after they got him in a trade ��
Keldon is a good example, that said, he’s not blocking anyone that should be getting minutes instead.
Myles Turner is a really nice player and the type of player the Spurs desperately lack.
His stock appears low if the Pacers are trying to offload him, so it could be a buying opportunity (if the price is right).
You don’t allow guys who have missed 70+ games the last two years to both clog your cap, and cost you assets. Myles was a thing like 4 years ago. Update your software.
