    Dude is delusional, unless he thinks he's completely breaking out this season.

    To be fair: he looked like an injury bust at the time. But it's never a good sign when the Spurs pick up a player you've given up on.

    Watch what happens here. You go 20-30 games into the season and Stotts ends up the new HC.
    I agree it isn’t a good sign if a guy like Stotts can’t work with you.

    The Miller thing seems like a tough situation any way you look at it. I don’t know how/if civil trials impact players in the league

    I think we all knew this was coming. Civil suit very different from criminal trial. I expect he will settle out of court.

    Regardless, I'm just glad this isn't our problem.

    Yep - This lawsuit is just searching for someone with money.
    If he were still a poor broke college student - I'm doubt he gets sued.

    this is just a cheatcode. 2 or 3 years. that's it. any teams planning to build a contender in 4-5 yrs, it will be going through this guy.

    He has weaknesses. He’s shown that he tries to do too much with the ball. He’s not big enough to bang. I agree he is a phenomenal talent but he can’t do it alone.

    he's 19. he doesn't have his grown man strength or maturity yet. it will come.

    if he was drafted by detroit or charlotte, i wouldn't be saying what i did.

    have a bit more faith in the FO in san antonio to put a contender around him.

    Would you rather have him than Jabari or Camara?

    I disagree. Walker and Camara don’t need the ball in their hands. They are role players that fit our team. Watford is best with the ball in his hands. We don’t need that. We have Scoot and Simons and Brogdon and Sharpe.

    I loved Collins game and was thrilled when we drafted him. He just was never healthy or on the court. Shame.
