    I was referring to Pels GM David Griffin.

    I wonder if the Spurs would trade Aldridge for expirings and a protected pick (or two).

    Would you take him back if they were open to something like ET + Leonard/Harkless + 2019 1st + 2021 1st?

    Now that the season is actually over, I've read this post and I like your ideas. Getting Hayward could totally take us over the top. This past season was up and down for him but it took PG two seasons to come back from his broken leg so we might get an All Star level Hayward next season or the season after that.

    That Boston trade is ridiculously bad for them.

    Besides the pick swap I’d say it’s fair

    No, its not. Hayward is getting back ti his old self. Why would they dump him for nothing? Makes no sense.

    I'm gonna beat this drum til Neil hears it. Year after year, my pick for the draft is always the best and biggest athlete. Strong, physically imposing freaks win playoff games.

    If we draft yet another diminutive SG or skinny center who can't jump or set screens, im gonna freak the fuck out.

    Are you saying that Simons and Collins were bad picks? I thought we hit with both of them in the draft.

    With Kyrie all but gone, and with Tatum... they should just move on. He makes a lot of money and plays the same position of a guy who should be taking over the franchise.

    Dude needs to heal his ribs and get a break. Hope he takes an extended vacay sometime this summer.

    Swanigan: waste of a pick. Grade D
    Zach: Solid player, Grade B
    Simons: Has not had the chance to prove himself. Have to score it as Grade C.

    From the athletic. Sound familiar? Remember Ed Davis? This pretty much sums up why I’m leaning towards Aminu being let go.

    Hopefully, sure he is a good 1on1 Defender, but Defense is much more than that. Good defensive Basketball-IQ is a huge part of Defense, his Basketball-IQ sucks, same goes for Harkless. How many teams we have seen both sleepwalking during the game? Or missing Rotation? Too many times. I wouldn't miss him, and Harkless too, they both are not starting caliber players on a contending team, i would even say that they are not even in the Playoff Rotation on a contending Team.
