you draft him at 4 if you think he'll be a serviceable PG. I know we have Sochan and Jones so it'll be tough to beat out, but if edy were the pick here i would believe PAFTO knows what he's doing. if he's just a C you get him at 8 and trade wemby for another pic to get a player who complements...

You're vastly underestimating what Garland would cost. His value is not at his lowest. He's 24 entering his prime and there won't be shortage of suitors, which is all that matters for CLE who will have leverage and won't undersell him. it's not SA or nothing for Garland..

Selling my closet jerseys on Ebay

In some cases sure. Just like some country music bros. Do you think Johnny Cash actually shot a man in Reno? It's fiction.

I dont want either unless cost is non Vassell/Sochan players and 2 firsts or less. But at that point 5M doesnt mean anything is the point and I’d rather have Trae deal for 3 years than Garlands at 4 years personally. But at that point with their money and any amount of picks you are quasi going...

good call, knowing SA will walk away with one of Risacher, Castle, Dilly or Sheppard plus a bonus swing on top I feel like fans are in good hands.

The spurs easily have the assets to move up to get Risacher if that’s who they really want. The question is really whether he’s unquestionably THE top tier prospect for the spurs that would warrant moving up

No matter what happens, the spurs are in a good spot on draft night, one of Dillingham, Risacher, and Castle will be available at 4. At number 8 it’s house money, I could definitely see a team trying to trade for 8 if Clingan is still available to leap the Grizzlies at 9

can we do that with clingan...Draft him at 4 if hes there and try to get sum assets for him later.

Kinda joking around here but I'm salty. Fuck Atlanta. Saw Quinn sidelines at JL Bourg with the headline "Hawks looking at every option" and I took that personally. Fuck sus af statistically anomalous +9 jumps in the lottery to #1 just kinda feels like the league is doing this to SA b/c they think...

Rules obviously started favoring perimeter players, but that death kneel was just for average bigs. It was just a dry spell with the lack of elite bigs. They’re specialists now, who play limited minutes. If you can’t switch, and most bigs can’t, you can be played off the floor. ...

Trae makes about 5-7M more annually (that’s before his next deal). He will also probably command twice as much asset-wise in return than Garland. The goal with Garland is to buy as his value is lowest to allow the Spurs to hold on to as many of their moat valuable trade assets (Vassell, Sochan,...

So that excuses failure to develop the team?

Style of play,in this case, is determined by the RULES. Not allowing players to fight thru screens, which has been illegal since the rule change in 2015, sounded the death knell of the big man era, and big men in particular. They’re specialists now, who play limited minutes. If you can’t switch,...

lol prioritizing sports

If we are going someone paid 40M then just go ahead and get Trae at that point.

Their commentary and analysis has added humor for sure, but its not incorrect. If you want dry NBA game analysis that is boring as watching dead weeds grow, then you will be happy with NBC and ESPN for sure. Personally I'm going to miss these guys. They made halftime fun and watchable IMHO. ...

Polska has an example & lesson for everything :lol One of the most interesting stories

not too sure about his fit on this team, but head to head, he punked Clingan.

Both Orlando and the Spurs can also look at D'Lo as a fallback option that doesn't cost as much in salary or assets too. That fact should help keep a lid on a maximum asset offer here.

To defeat Communism, Polska had to return to its religious background. I am Roman Catholic but this wasn't us before WW2.

Style of play is always determined by the best players and defenses are adjusted to them. Warriors run coincided with a lack of great bigs and them having three of the best shooters ever. Even then, they always had issues with legit bigs. AD did whatever he wanted against them, so did Jokic....

I believe Fighting an ideology. Can't remember last time it was successful. Probably WW2. To defeat an ideology you usually end up becoming a villian.

Mitchell is our best friend here, the more he presses, the more desperate Cavs get. Mitchell will surely give them a deadline, this won't drag out all summer long like Lillard saga. As already mentioned, Spurs should hold firm and not get fleeced unless they really think Garland is the...

My brother in Christ, this all started with Klutch and Rich Paul demanding a trade.

If KJ, Zollins, Chicago, Charlotte, and Tre get it done, then count me in on that...

Risacher is unquestionably the best choice for Atlanta. If you're a really bad or really good team, you take BPA in the draft, but if you're a middling team like the Hawks, you have to account for need. Otherwise, you might draft a player who doesn't get the minutes to develop behind one of your...
