Hashtag Banterzone posted:Wemby is going to be too good next year for them to tank. The exact same team even with Wemby's improvements next year is still gonna be a play-in challenger at best in the West. Some load management DNPs here and there, some minutes restrictions, the occasional rest for nagging injuries, and the Spurs will be right back in the lottery. Making major moves now would be dumb as gently caress unless they fell rear end-backwards into a trade offer that they couldn't refuse.

Lockback posted:Keeping Jrue is super defensible (I mean, it's worked out great for Boston) Jrue's working out great for Boston because he doesn't need to be an offensive contributor given the weapons the Celtics already have. With Middleton's injury issues, he was being asked last year to both guard the best perimeter guy on the opposing team and carry some of the offense. Not really his fault, but that's asking too much of him and that meant the Bucks were realistically capped in how far they could go with that lineup.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Nice. The team is basically locked in for next year. After that gets dicey. Celtics are gonna be a second tax apron team and can't aggregate salary in trades so the Jrue extension actually makes sense as a trade chip in the future. Lotta other guys in that 33-35M salary range.

Mean Baby posted:Most of the top teams get one or two guys in the draft then identify a top tier player to acquire. You realistically need two drafted guys that you have Bird rights on, to maximize flexibility for after you make that key trade. The Spurs still need that second guy since I see Vassel as a 3rd option on a contender at best. Trying to nail this upcoming draft then looking to make moves the following offseason might be the smartest move they can make. Step 1 is gonna be tricky as gently caress with this draft class though.

Dexo posted:Trae Young to San Antonio for ATL to get some of their picks back and for SA get someone who can pass and dribble for Wemby's development makes too much sense. And the Spurs know it. They're gonna wait for Atlanta to lower their initial asking price for Young before seriously considering any trades. They don't mind letting the Hawks roast over the coals for a while because those picks are gonna retain value. E: looking at some other teams, the Jazz/Pelicans/Nets may have the combination of assets/picks to trade with Atlanta as well. anakha fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Apr 18, 2024 |

Salvor_Hardin posted:It is pretty crazy that a starting 4 of Trae, DJ, Bogdan, and Capella seems like a very solid starting point to a competitive team. It just never really worked. As a Spurs fan I was skeptical of benefits of the trade for Atlanta from the beginning. Dejounte's All-Star season was a result of him basically being given the green light to do whatever on offense and control the ball. That had anti-synergy with Trae and reduced the rest of the Hawks sharing the floor with them to simple play finishers. And his defense which was supposed to compensate for Trae's has been overrated since the ACL injury. The Spurs were able to obfuscate his degraded defense because they had Derrick White and Jakob Poeltl.

Yeah the Blair scam on the Mavs was a degenerative knees issue rather than a skill issue. His rebounding plummeting after his sophomore season should have raised red flags though.

Veryslightlymad posted:Players grossly overrate iso defense, which doesn't tell you who is a good defender, but might tell you about who is dumb on offense. That may be true, but that also wouldn't explain why Wemby won the defensive player poll. Especially with these quotes: quote:“He just makes it so hard to finish at the rim,” one opponent said of Wembanyama. Gobert is always gonna be disliked by the players in general and I do hope the Wolves win one title with him just so he can lord it over the league once.

piratepilates posted:Either very impressive that he managed through his knee the Raptors year, or if it was the Raptors year that blew it out completely. He played the hell out of that year and hasn't looked the same since. He only played 60 games in that 2018-2019 regular season which isn't far off from the 57, then 52, that he played on the Clippers the two seasons after. 2019 and 2020 are also the last two seasons he played in every possible playoff game his team was in. The Raptors very carefully managed his regular season availability to save him for the playoffs, and that worked out. The Clippers were hoping to do the same, but it only worked for that first year. Toronto lucked out but that degenerative knee finally caught up with him after.
