Matas is at the top of my Spurs board. If I did the Portland deal (assuming Atlanta shaking up the top 3 and Clingan falling to 4), I might also try to trade 8 + Cha pick back to Charlotte for #6 (credit to DPG), thereby giving us 6 & 7 + 14.

Not sure how the Spurs see Matas at 4, but that Portland deal looks appealing since the PGs will be there at 7, 8. But my preference would be working something out with CHA as you suggest.

Exactly, its a forgone conclusion that Boston will be in the finals.

why do people keep saying that...

Them boring arse no personality morons? Are you serious? They cant hold Chucks nutsack let alone Ernie, Kenny, and Shaq being involved. Get that fawk outta here with that bullshiznit. There is a reason why Inside the NBA has won multiple Emmys. No other broadcast team comes close. Its a...

We’ve reached an information impasse. Everyone has their pets. That probably won’t change until stuff starts leaking from team workouts. Not sure how to do it, but would be cool to do daily polls to see what (realistic) combo people prefer, and to see how that changes over time.

Some of these crackhead franchises appear to have pretty good front offices right now. We're in a world where Washington and Charlotte may have their shit together. Unsure I can say the same about Detroit, although their drafting is pretty good. Of the first seven, I don't think Charlotte will...

If Reed is gone then I’d take Risacher and hope Castle is still available at 8. Posters here are saying teams at 5-7 picks don’t need a PG so any of Castle/Dilly could be available.

Yeah like we need a better rebounding PF/C.

The ONLY reason I watch NBA halftime is because of the TNT cast. They make it fun and enjoyable, while also giving good game analysis. NBC and ESPN suck at halftimes. They are sooooooooooooooooo boring. Now I will mute that shiznit, or better yet take my go take a massive shiznit while the...

You're more or less describing Jalen Williams. Not the same player, but strength can really matter for a guard.

I really feel like first three picks are gonna be: Sarr, Clingan & Reed in some order. That’s my gut analysis. I think the elite shooting of Reed will push him up there. so if that’s the case, which do you prefer? Risacher or Castle at #4?

I think the Hawks getting the number 1 pick and drafting Sarr makes it more likely that Dejounte is the one that’s traded instead of Trae. Sarr’s game meshes much better with Trae on offense with the vertical spacing he provides and Trae being a better passer/lob guy than Dejounte. Defensively,...

You dont seem to understand what "pleading the 5th" is. Deciding not to testify is not "pleading the 5th".

I'm not sure that his game will translate into the NBA. He doesn't seem to have a fast first step on offense or quick lateral step on defense, his strength is what allows him to win a lot of his matchups. That won't be as much of an advantage in the NBA.

For some reason, I can't see the tweets nor log into my account on it. I get the gist and of course am skeptical of the source, but what specifically is being said?

Flip flopping Yam Tits said: "If you're innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?" Also Yam Tits: told reporters he would "absolutely" testify in his upcoming hush money trial. "Yeah, I would testify, absolutely," he said in response to a question from NBC News. So Yam Tits pleads the...

These are 18-19 years old. It will be up to Spurs scout and eventually development staff to work on those weaknesses. People argue that Reed is short but he’s the average height for NBA PG with Morant, Fox, Brunson, VanFleet all performing great. And Reed is not a pushover who prides on his...

I know it's SpursTalk tradition to slurp everything Bruno says, but there's no reason to think Risacher will be available at 4 or the Spurs will select Dillingham. It has to come from core players who either aren't defensive liabilities or are stars offensively to offset it or it's...

Portland would offer 7 and 14. Memphis would have to offer a future 1st + 9, but I'm not sure that's enough. Now if Charlotte wants a big it he's real interesting. They could offer 6 plus changing protection/ length on the pick they owe us.

Exactly. Don’t fall in love with measurables and anthro. They still need to be able to play basketball. Weighting this kind of shit too highly caused guys like SGA and Book to drop to the late lottery, while lesser more athletic candidates were drafted ahead of them.

He certainly isn't that much for others.not enough to intrigue a team or trigger a trade. He's closer to a sweetener than core of a trade. Like I mentioned a couple days ago, spurs main assets are their picks (then basically Devin). reason why they should be worry with their pioks and...

Isn't Keldon's contract attractive enough to you?

The thing is you may have not the choice. If you don't max a borderline max, or probably shouldn't be maxed player, somebody else probably will. That's also what I mean when I say you have to overpay, or anyway pay more than what you would like, for talent no matter what. Talent is rare, and...

If Sarr doesn’t go one, but instead 2, that probably means Clingan will be there at 4 and ZR won’t be. That opens up a lot of interesting trade opportunities. Portland and Memphis said to be hot for Clingan. What would they give?

Not sure if this belongs here, but question for you guys - who do you think is a max contract guy who delivers closest to max contract value on the court (setting aside fit, etc.). I'm not talking about true superstars who exceed max contract value (Luka, Jokic, etc.) or guys who are at the max but...

You can argue the same with Wemby and Bol Bol, but the product is not the same.

That looks logical to me. I think at 4 Risacher, Buzelis, and Castle will be considered heavily and at 8 your 8-12 will all be considered heavily. The thing that concerns me as far as shaking thing up is if, for some reason, Atlanta doesn't go with Sarr.

Come on akhi... ^^ MJ averaged 37 and 35ppg in his 3rd and 4th seasons! All NBA in his rookie season 1988/his 4th season is the year MJ wins EVERTHING individually I love ANT, he's my fav player by far but he's no MJ, he's actually pretty far from him in terms of character We'll see...
