You're probably right.
I guess we'll see.
Dieng left because he got no playing time here. He probably left Atlanta because he didn't get any playing time behind Capela and Okongwu. Not sure he comes to a bottom feeder to be a third stringer tbh. Poeltl is gone imho
You're probably right.

Makes Poeltl more expendable, but I don't think he gets traded for peanuts. Just like with Murray, they'll bide their time and take the best offer available. I think the Ayton domino needs to fall before anything can happen with Poeltl.
So what's the deal with Ayton? Is his fate tied to Durant? Does he end up just signing the QO since his prospects have dried up?
Agreed, but I would tack on that a lot of dominos have to fall league wide before much happens with us.
I'm not equating the two, just saying that if the Spurs wanted to improve their short term chances, they could have used that long term 1st to get immediate impact, or play Thaddeus Young who's actually good enough for the Raptors and plays a position of need for us. And the Dejounte trade is the most telling of all, because they could have easily gotten an offer based on players rather than picks, which they didn't. All those moves line up in the same direction. Now if the Spurs had gone for, say, Lavine... well yeah, that would have been a move in the complete opposite direction. But so far that hasn't happened, so we'll see.
TJ Warren to BK. Another potential ceiling raising target off the market.
PATFO may not have their heads up their asses. Me likey.
Nets are doing some weird tbh lol wonder if maybe they’re trying to salvage things with KD idk
He is locked in to a long term deal. They are going to look to get win now AND future assets in a KD and Kyrie trade I suspect.
What a bizarre take. Dieng left SA because he didn’t see any point in hanging around as an unemployed person. And he has left Atlanta for the same reason.
You think he’ll stay somewhere when he’s got no contract?
He came to the Spurs in the first place after we traded away Eubanks. Speaking of third string.
Dieng is in the twilight of his career. He’s just going where somebody will pay him. It’s well worth it, to get another few million bucks. Heck yes. He will not expect much playing time now.
By your logic spurs sure as aren't resigning poodle either
It’s just like the Spurs and Hawks have swapped Landale and Dieng. Will Dieng move the needle as a Landale replacement, is the question. If there really were any question, which there isn’t.
Are you his agent now or what? All dudes want minutes. To act like that wasn't likely a factor in his decisions is silly. None of us personally know if SA/Atl wanted him back after his last stints
Guy, they did not give him another contract. Hint, hint.
And RC has a good relationship with the guy, which was why he chose Spurs the first time. I think they see him still available and asked if he doesn’t mind being a vet presence to a young team and he obliged.
hes our 3rd center atm. Wgaf?
You think he “obliged” out of the goodness of his heart, as an act of charity? Is that your story, and you’ll stick to it?
It doesn’t cross your mind that $2.9 million might in some way or other be of significance?
guy literally replaces jock as depth and potentially an insurance policy to pave the way for a poeltl trade and people are claiming this guy is ruining the tank?
good veteran, good teammate by all accounts. good to have some of that around a bunch of kids tbh
I'd prefer Landale -- he's younger, hungrier, with more updiside -- but that's okay. As a note, Landale is actually with Phoenix now.
yup, cost us nothing and doesn't expect to play. But spurs are now in the playin gameguy literally replaces jock as depth and potentially an insurance policy to pave the way for a poeltl trade and people are claiming this guy is ruining the tank?

He knows he’ll be playing limited minutes with Spurs prioritizing growth for the young players. If you want to use another term, so be it.
The more issue is the timing if they already wrapped up Spurs role as trade facilitator or if they are not, to be able to sign now instead of later, and the role on Poeltl getting moved or not.
Thanks for the note, I hadn’t seen that yet.
Could be second, any time.
Haha Bleacher Report has a THT for JRich trade proposed spent 2 paragraphs why it made sense for the Lakers.
