Maybe Anthony Edwards will get pissed and move his talents to SA!! Dreaming is free!

If TIMVP is right that the Spurs spent the most time scouting Salaun outside of Risacher, I can definitely see him being the pick at 8. He gives me Ousmane Dieng vibes that he is at least two years from being ready, but his upside may be worth it at 8 in this draft.

Think it's a fair comparison tbf, games look somewhat similar compared to other current stars

i mean he's literally making some of the least skilled post players look like wilt chamberlain, but ok.. even comparing the passing to the same players by puka and kyrie is frankly sad, and kyrie is constantly getting hyped as some sort of good passer..

Yeah, tbh this would be a steal for the Spurs. Only giving up Collins and one FRP? In fact, seems overly favorable towards the Spurs.

Dude, that's exactly why he doesn't qualify. :lol Because, even despite that, he doesn't flame out early in the playoffs every year, tbh. If the Mavs close it out, it will be Luka's 2nd WCF vs SGA's 0; and I don't know if you realize this because Luka has been tearing it up since he...

How this trade let them screw us? You giving up in this trade Collins and a draft pick that without this trade probably ends up outside the lottery...

Salaun's stats and production are just ugly. Then you watch him and it's ugly. He has moments. Early on, I was intrigued hearing he just started playing basketball. But then it's not true. What they mean is he just started playing professional basketball. He's been playing basketball since he...

Remember Sekou Doumbouya? I feel like Salaun is just another one of those really long French wings. Everyone thinks they'll put it together, but it never happens. Get the best wing with #4, then whichever point guard is left at #8. If they really think Dillingham is a future star, then...

I listen to the ones above and they're okay, but maybe my favorite Spurs related pod recently is a weird one... Locked on Hawks. Some of the best NBA analysis out there (basically everything I'd want Locked on Spurs to be but unfortunately fails miserably at). Great insight and deep dives into...

He is a starter for playoff team in France

Salaun is kind of horrible at everything. He's extremely raw.

This post brought about a total nostalgia moment bringing up the Like Mike commercials from the 90's.

Google apparently favors a quick settlement in the amount the government previously asked for, over a public trial and more discovery. 1791238464991588691

For a chonker, he has a surprising amount of stamina & endurance. Bro never looks gassed.

I got that already. Did your comment mean Michael never lost in the post season or never had a good game, or you think they were comparing him to 72 wins season Jordan? I think people are comparing him for aesthetic reasons, for the eyeball test reasons. He's not done anything yet but neither did...

Agree. Just because we screwed the hawks over when they were desperate, doesn't mean we should let them screw us back with a trade like that. DJ didn't improve the hawks that much to warrant that much in trade value. Sure they got lucky with the #1 pick, but we also got lucky with two picks. ...

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-02-26-sp-32562-story.html Yeah, they fucking did.

Yeah, virtually everyone is always supposed garbage playing with Puka, who has to commandeer everything. When he does it, he's a genius. When Harden, Young, etc. others do it, they're selfish. Counting stats are largely irrelevant, especially for a selfish (36% usage rate, a full 3% clear of...

Jokic has the wherewithal that I hope Wemby develops with time. Actually the teams future success rests with that.

Explain

His isolation scoring is needed on this team. Victor is the only player on our team who can halfway create his own shot. I'd be fine giving him a near max, maybe a full max if I had to. You look at his numbers and they are in line with what max salary wing players max. I think his injuries...

I still don't see Topic. My concern is if they they go Salaun at 8 and Sheppard is not available at 4, they go Castle which would equal two low floor players, one of whom is a theoretical shooter, the other a non one. Yikes.

I agree, but doubt one of Reed and Risacher falls to #8.

point is, OKC defended him in a way to take a lot of his scoring away and daring the others to beat them. he was making the right plays, but the bigs took a game to adjust. after g1 they realized they needed to kick to the corners/wings to DJJ and PJ, and aside from a late meltdown in g4, the...

As a Dillingham hater, in defense of his defense, I do think it got better as the season went on, going from one of the worst defenders in college basketball to just the worst in the draft. I don't think he's ever going to be a positive defender in the league, but given the improvement he made,...
