THE quintessential dwarf
Can't blame Harden for wanting to be as far away from Kyrie as possible.
Can blame Harden for absolutely no effort.
Seems like an effective strategy to get traded

Some [Redacted]-esque mental gymnastics in this Doc defense. I dig it.
It appears the rebuild plan included stiffs like Drew Eubanks, Jock Londale, Doug McDermott, Zach Collins and then lots of losing.
I do like the backcourt and wings next year, once they dump god awful Satoransky and almost done Dragic.
These draft picks coming up are HUGE for the next 10 years of the franchise.
These are guys in the past 2 years (hell, any of them) who were either on the way to SA, or rumored to have mutual interest:
Summer 2020
Marcus Morris, Sr./Bertans fiasco
Summer 2021
Oubre --- instead very mediocre McDermott
Markkenen --- instead useless Thad Young
Montrezl --- instead I don't know. Collins?
This lineup, assuming they only got 1 of those 3 in 2021 and landed Morris in 2020 or hell just kept Bertans, who looked damn good last year.
Murray/Jones (I guess)
White/Lonnie/Primo
Keldon J./Vassell
Oubre/Marc Morris - or just keep Bertans
Poeltl/Zach Collins (I guess)
Looks weak at backup PG and backup C, but SF and PF is SOLID imo.
Instead it is a mess, with the hope 1-2 rookies, from 2022 draft pan out. Based on the Primo find and other good front office finds in the past, I agree there clearly is hope. Fingers crossed.
the nba is the best
how sweet will the Eastern Conference playoffs be if everyone is #fullsquad??
Jock Landale is a promising stretch 5. Zach Collins has 15/14/6/3 in his first 31 minutes back over two games. That's a solid future bench post rotation. It's definitely an improvement over Eubanks and Dieng.
I didn't want Oubre because I'd rather see Vassell and Johnson get their shots. Oubre has been a chucker and I didn't like that fit.
I think Primo should be able to take over the Derrick White role either as a starter or coming off the bench which White should have done. He's bigger (possibly still growing) and looks like he'll be a better shooter and savvy playmaker. He's also 8.5 years younger.
Vassell has a good 3 and D profile. I'm not sure what Keldon is going to be. His 3-point shooting has been a nice surprise. I think he'll be a solid SF and small ball PF, but he may be best suited as an energy guy off the bench.
The Spurs need to take a 4 or big wing, but I'll be fine with a BPA. Whoever they pick need to be able to play right away to get this rebuild going. Ideally they make the playoffs next season and can try to get a good FA or two on the 2023 market with a lot of cap space.
He is less than rail thin, he’s absolutely going to get injured before he ever plays an NBA game.
Evan Mobley is the best defensive rookie since Duncan.
