Premium Member Sothron Posted July 7, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Tony left because of C.R.E.A.M. Kyle Anderson probably the same thing. I don't blame Pops or the Spurs at all about Kawhi. That guy is looney tunes. There's something not right with him. The way he has let his uncle represent him and his team treat the Spurs the past season was disgusting. Frankly I've lost all respect for him. As for other guys leaving, I do believe it is a combination of C.R.E.A.M. and the reality that Pops doesn't have long to coach. I could see him retiring any day now. Losing his wife of so many years is something you don't emerge from as the same person. Given his age, accomplishments and the Kawhi situation I can see him retiring either before this season or at the end of this upcoming one.

It’s like they respected the game, were quiet and confident champions without too much arrogance. 1 hour ago, EazyRoc said: They won’t have to bottom out purposely so I wouldn’t call it a tank.

Thomas Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm on the Spur's side on this because Kawhi made over two million per game last year (nine games) but lets a relative play the negative PR role for him. Slo Mo may be gone to Memphis now and hopefully Kawhi returns a starting SF such as a Kuzma type who is versatile and then whatever picks. Always felt the Spurs were pretty classy and certainly not as heavy media bound which is actually surprising in today's NBA. Will be interesting what unfolds and a big trade could help resolve some of that too long in the tooth roster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Once the Bulls match LaVine's offer, it will be us and the Kings as the last men standing with the most workable cap space. I do not have a clue who we may sign or what trade happens to get a asset for salary. OKC, GSW, Raptors, and Wizards are in luxury tax. The Nuggets are still there also even with the Chandler salary dump. OKC, Raptors, and Wizards IMO are in the most trouble; and should be close to being desperate to do something before the season starts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg01 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Spurs are falling apart without Timmay. Handled the Leonard situation like arrogant children, to which he responded like a petulent child. There's plenty of blame on both sides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg01 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Looks like POR has officially signed off on middlin'. Re-signed Nurkic (sp?) to a 4yr deal. So the core that seems to be clearly down-sloping has been reupped for multiple years at near-max dollars. Congrats? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost Tyreke Evans, who went to Indiana. If signed, that puts Memphis right up against the Luxury Tax line, but not over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty equal right now in every stat for their careers you can find. But last season Prince was clearly better. Zach's injury makes him a risk plus with Prince only being in his 3rd season, I think gives him a higher ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m putting together a roster I’m going to take Prince right now. I feel like he’s much more efficient, plays mainly to his strengths and most importantly, I think his defense is a couple notches higher for sure than LaVine. Plus, LaVine has had a major injury so there’s that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted July 7, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 LaVine’s injury history and longer track record of empty numbers makes him less desirable to me. Games played means something. So does LaVine’s absolute disregard for defense even when playing under defensive coaches. When he starts playing harder and smarter he has the talent to reverse that but until then those types of highlight reels are better for him than actual game tapes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
