Nurse put the kibosh on the trade about two weeks ago.
The Hawks dragged DJ’s name for almost a month in trade rumors only to say Nevermind I bet he has a new found appreciation for The Spurs and how they do business now
Nurse put the kibosh on the trade about two weeks ago.
Looking at the deals happening today, this feels like an overpay now.
If Atlanta accepts that, I'll go for it. The Spurs would keep all Atlanta's FRP to add talent or use in a trade.
That would be a fleece they just might accept if it was any other team offering it.
Too embarrassing to make that trade with the Spurs.
Dejounte doesn't seem like the most self-aware guy in the world.
Dude trashed Pop and the Spurs on his way out the door, then turns around and is like "I'd welcome going back to San Antonio"
Worst case scenario for us is that DJM somehow uses this as motivation and takes his game up a notch, lifting Atlanta into the playoffs for the next couple of years.
But hopefully he takes this as a diss and takes a blow torch to Atlanta's locker room
Well, if the Hawks are going to trade DJM it looks like it won't be to the Lakers:
Seems like such a missed opportunity...
Well at least a certain poster Doesn't Have To Post Like This Anymore. That must be a relief!
IG baller commented on Spurs official IG on their Wemby post with: “He different!”
…I’m Bringing Back My Caps…
Please don’t!
Some interesting DJM/Tre Jones comparisons (which I don't think are particularly apples to apples, but are still interesting:
It really was a beautiful swindle of a trade. The DWhite trade was good as well, but him exploding as a player afterwards kind of dampers the return.
I still vividly remember telling my wife that the Spurs were going to trade Dejounte the following off-season, and going all-out for "this Wenbyana kid in the draft who's like 8 feet tall", as it was clear that there was no future with DJ here. Back when he was getting dared to shoot 3's by the Celtics.
Just beautiful how it all turned out.
Agree on the DJ deal. Way too early to say on the White trade given how amazing he's been for Boston. All hinges on that swap, bc Blake and a few SRPs is looking very meh right now.
to be fair it's pretty clear that Dejounte is a much better basketball player than Tre Jones, stats aside
Better we got something for him. Derrick was always one of my favorite Spurs,but he was 23 when drafted, and will be 30 around free agency. He’s a guy that’s far more valuable to a contender than a rebuilding team.
Tre sucks, he's just smart enough to know how to make his stats
Murray just hit the game winner against Boston.
Great battle between him and Derrick White as well.
IG baller is balling! How many game winner has he hit already? Clutch gene!
Homeboy took 44 shots, including 19 threes?!?!? Holy cow. Since 1990, that's the 7th highest number of shots in a single game, and outside of Kobe's 50 in 2016, all others game before 2006. https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/mos...ame-since-1990
44 shots to get 44 points. lol.
And only 2 free throws.
I caught the end of the 4th and OT, it was disgusting to watch.
He kept shooting over the entire Celtics team in the OT.
If I was a Celtics fan, I'd be really concerned, they still keep reverting to hero ball in close games.
I'm putting a bit of an asterisk next to this one due to the fact the game went to OT. He only had 36 shot attempts at the end of regulation.
