We're seeing most trades done in the offseason. Last year very low activity at the trade deadline as well. Plenty of picks moved hands in the offseason. Spurs got multiple first round picks for cap space. Nets got a haul of picks for Bridges. Blazers have instead prioritized assembling this $100+ million joke of veteran core on this roster over the summer. It was very predictable and likely to play out exactly as it has. Every one of these contracts was handed out or acquired by Cronin so we're well past the time of trying to blame Olshey or whatever excuse for the Blazers mess.
I think the Spurs actually wanted Barnes to help fill out their roster. He's started every game for them and has fit pretty well into what the Spurs are trying to do. He's posting career highs in TS% and 3ptFG%. Sure looks like the Spurs decided to compete for the play-in this season they have manged their payroll really well and could have 40M in cap-space next off-season. Their only 'questionable' contracts are for Devin Vassell and Zach Collins. For some reason Zach has been relegated to a small role. He's only averaging 5 pts and 3 rebs in 13 minutes
Right, the Spurs got that unprotected swap from the Kings in one trade. They also got an unprotected FRP from the Wolves. The third thing they got was a top1 protected swap from the Wolves. There were a lot more FRP exchanging hands in the summers than at trade deadlines.
They traded a lotto pick this year to get that future Minnesota pick. They used their cap space to get one future swap
minneland timber blazers. all small markets are the same—it's that far away team towards the west coast.
at the top, yes. so far the back half of the first round is looking a little meh this year as compared to 2024.
The only thing that’s rumbling is that burrito I had for lunch in my stomach. Which is leading to questionable farts
after last night's dismal performance and this home stand Billups really needs to go, question will mgmt make that decision, I have serious doubts on that
I just don't see why it matters. The problem is the vets Cronin assembled. Ant goes 0-9, with his horrible defense you couldn't have worse contributions. Although Ayton might be the one player with worse defense than Ant.
It really doesn't matter unless we have a good replacement lined up. Main thing is we got the loss and the young guys played.
Bjork? Let him finish the season and then find a permanent hire. Only trouble with that, I can totally see them giving him the job to save themselves the time and money of hiring someone more legitimate. Almost anyone would be a step up from CB.
