Holland is a big risk for sure, but I don't need him to develop into a shooter as much as Risacher (or Buzelis) for him to reach his upper quartile of outcomes. I like Holland (and Buzelis) because they are the most multi-dimensional wings in my opinion. Holland is definitely a different archetype...

Footy just down. I didn't get into this season. World Cup was sick. Polska vs Mexico made my heart almost skip beat. Euros coming up. I love all kinds of sports but nothing compares to major Tournament for your birth nation

In the Anthony Black proposal, I would just counter that two unprotected FRPs 2 and 4 years away, even if "expected" to be outside of the lottery, will always carry considerably more value than lottery protected picks because they have no upside (and could just become SRPs). So I strongly disagree...

Ah, gotcha. If Cleveland likes a player like Knecht, that could make some sense for them. But I don't know that how many other prospects in the top 10 of this particular draft make sense for CLE. Maybe if they are losing Allen, then Clingan?

Great question. I assume you mean Dejounte now and not the Dejounte we traded (when he was at the peak of his value, not because he's gotten "worse" but because there was still much more to be determined upside a team could bet on. At this point, everyone should know what DJM is). I'd still say...

May is literally the heart of tornado and straight line wind season. Typically straight line wind damage is more common in the north and east, but the Jarrell F5 tornado from 1997 that moved south-southwest and then just stalled over the trailer park in Jarrell.... that wasn't an anomaly either?...

It's all just opinion. For me Holland is the one guy with shooting issues in the top 10 that I am most skeptical of being able to actually learn to shoot well. I think Castle, Topic, and Buzelis have a much better chance of being above average shooters.

To be clear, I think that version of the Spurs package IS inferior to a LAL one. I was suggesting a package built Keldon + #8, a young player (Malaki/Blake), and the CHA FRP. If you have to add they can play with the #35 or the CHI FRP. But, beyond that I get off the bus. Having 8 and maybe 35,...

I don’t think it should take 4-5 years before knowing whether a young player is going to be any good. You should have a sense by the end of Year 2 what they’re going to develop into. Like, I think it’s clear by now that Jeremy Sochan is going to be a glue-guy role player. He’s not going to be...

I fully expect the 4 1sts for Bridges were lottery protected, but that's still about the same as the Anthony Black + 3 picks expected to be outside the lottery. Seriously, if that's the package they'd take we should just go get Bridges ourselves and use 4 & 8 on two guards. We'll have to...

This of course is just my opinion, but I don't see it with Sarr. To me, he's about equal as a prospect as Duren or Lively. With that said, I have Sarr in T2 largely because this is a Spurs board, where I have no use or interest in a C (and I don't think Sarr can be 4, regardless of whether he'd...

Welp, Pacers choking.

I mean, I described the Vassell pick as "okay" and "at least we didn't fuck it up"... I wouldn't call that as "Happy". The DEEP model (here: https://braydengerrard.shinyapps.io/Draft_Scores/) rates the Vassell pick as "Average", which I agree with (Walker, Samanic, Primo all rated "Bad", Keldon...

He is a functional NBA player on a roster where that is rare.

How do we see Devin's value around the league? For instance, is it more or less than Dejounte?

I think all of us on this board need to take this purported Bridges proposal last year with a grain of salt. The rumor is they were offered "4/5 firsts" but we don't know what those first were. Doubtful they were 4/5 unprotected picks. Even the guy who reported this says that the he was skeptical...

Fascinating. It’s really a shot at the Hornets, right? For those of us who want Castle, but a wary of taking him at 4, this is a very interesting development. ZR + Castle draft is probably my preferred pairing at the moment.

My brain just vomited in my skull.

I don't understand why you guys are so happy with Vassell. He's a slightly less streaky Lonnie Walker. He doesn't defend, he doesn't step up when it matters, he has terrible chemistry with Victor. Not sure what else to expect from a guy who learned from Dejounte Murray and Demar Derozen.

Agreed on Bridges, at least for Garland. Ingram's mid range game would work fine with Mobley, who can play more around the rim with Allen gone and with Mitchell providing volume three-point shooting. Hachimura would be an ideal fit with Mobley, but despite superior size, Reaves would invite...

Toronto tanked pick still conveyed they aren't worthless pick plus the spurs hold their own first round picks again they have worth and keldon or sochan zollins malaki sochan even. We have plenty of pieces and we aren't trading for magic Johnson

^ weird double post. Sorry about that. Hit send on the first one early and still don’t have edit access for some reason

I'd flip Sarr and Holland(based on talent), but other than that it looks good to me..

With the three-way proposal with ORL, add in one more FRP and I think you'd get BKY interested in moving Bridges. I disagree that Marks won't move him, Marks is a smart guy, certainly he sees that cashing in on Bridges now is he best hope. BKY is really in a precarious position, which pisses me off...

I really don't see Nola making that trade and Brooklyn would be taking less than they were offered last year for Bridges. The LA offer looks realistic, but I don't see it as better than the lesser Garland packages we've discussed here.

Bobby Bacala!

This may mean he's more likely to be available at the picks the Spurs have, it's also something of a red flag to me in that he feels entitled to a role without having played a single NBA minute, Will be be happy playing off ball? coming off the bench? What if the Spurs sign a ball dominant guard...
