I agree with Baseline, I think it smoke screen to get a team to trade up to trade for him maybe work something out with the Grizz.

No. :lol

If I'm playing you and CIA Dipstick, since i know Popped will never foul it allows to scheme for a play accordingly. OTOH if playing a team that ALWAYS fouls, i know i have to plan to be shooting when that team fouls. Siakim had every opportunity to foul, and only a 2 shot foul at that. ...

That's fine. Knecht is almost required if the shooting of the #4 pick is in question. Also fine but kind of unlikely now.

yes and no. we're not going to get those sudden leaps in cap because the CBA says cap increases are smoothed out such that the max annual increase is 10% however, if we can basically lock in 10% increases for the next 4-5 years, you can overplay people for contracts now... all those "how the...

Does RC Buford play any part in the Spurs selection process?

It sounds like the new management is opting to start over, which is the right move (finally!).

So? Are they going to NOT shoot the 3? There’s no way they change their strategy, down 3. They’re going to shoot it. The only question is, are you fouling or not?

Risacher. Easy decision the Spurs won't have to make.

He seems very un-rockety, unless Ime isa huge voice in their draft room.

Seems like the most reasonable outcome. I don't think Risacher will be available, though. Going with positional need, player potential and PATFO preferences logic, Castle should be the #4 pick and then a shooter at #8. I think they'd rather take Dillingham than Knecht because of his upside.

Barring injury or the Bills changing HC's he's not going to lose anytime soon. Perhaps the Bengals could do it again if they retain Higgins, but every other team has a glaring flaw

It's not a take. It's just a fact that when you compare all the positions, having a bad defensive point guard doesn't stop you from winning a title. I already went year by year for you in another thread. The fact is, that every other team besides the mid-90's bulls, 04 Pistons, 11 Mavs, and 21...

Might not be as nefarious as I thought when I saw the chart on the NY Times site. This adds context for juror 2: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-trial-jurors-new-york-hush-money/ Really getting difficult to trust NYT on its own these days.

NM Rumpy i found it: Some commentators have suggested that Trump might find a guardian angel in Juror 2, the only one to have admitted to following Trump on Truth Social and to getting his news from the platform. But the media consumption graphic only tells part of the story. “I read basically...

I believe you but can you provide a link?

I'd rather Castle start immediately. If he's better than expected then the Spurs can win games and fight for a playoff spot. If he takes some time to develop, the Spurs will lose some games, and the team can get a headstart on a tank if they decide to do that again.

That would give your opponent the 100 knowledge of what your strategy and planned play is.

This is not true anymore, at least certainly not in the playoffs. In the regular season, teams have other goals in mind than winning every game, but in the playoffs, teams are relentless and will attack weak players until they get played off the floor. There's a reason playoff rotations are only 7...

Dillingham is something between Allan Iverson and Monta Ellis

Not only that when he misses he often misses badly indicating poor shooting mechanics and form.

Doubt it ultimately happensg, but Clingan going 3 would be great for us tbh. Pushes another player down to us at 8. 1793320994129502411

Castle at 4 and Knecht at 8. or Risacher at 4 and Castle/Dillingham at 8.

I can see Castle starting over Tre half way into the season. I see whoever we choose at 8 being in the G League next year unless they're some freak of nature which none of the prospects seem to be at the moment. They'll have to battle Vassell, KJ, Champangie, Wesley, Branham, etc.

24% to 30% from threes is improvement i guess, but he still fucking sucks at shooting and as bb pointed out most of his threes are completely wide open

Sochan's overall fg% dropped and his efg% stayed the same. I didn't see this vast jump in improvement from year one to year two in Sochan's shooting.

He's campaigning in the court room. His only chance is presidency and pardoning himself. The founding fathers were reasonable enough to believe that pardoning oneself wasn't even worth mentioning in the Constitution since it's so absurd and goes against everything they had just fought a revolution...

He gets ridiculously wide open threes since teams know they don't have to guard him there and he still sucks at hitting them.

There could be a repeat of that situation where Golden State was able to sign KD because of a sudden leap in the cap, or at least a scenario where a star free agent has 10 legit options instead of 3 or 4.
