Draft capital is draft capital but I feel like the Spurs are getting mad fleeced here... It’s going to be terrible draft capital. Murray and Trey? With Collins and that center who’s name I can’t remember. They have a squad. I expect them to move Collins and Capela in a trade for Rudy Gobert

Kyrie opts in. Nightmare is over. That's not being over, the opt in seemed obvious, he wants a sign and trade.

Am I wrong in that the opt in didn't mean he was staying, it just meant a sign and trade would then be possible? Or is it suddenly too much money to move?

Kevin Durant is still a bitch. Dudes got so many burner accounts across the 'net that I wouldn't be shocked to see him pop up here and call us 'ringless fat bitches'

It is as much a strategic play if anything for Kyrie. If he still wants to play in LA next year he will have the chance since Russ will be off the books
Also keep in mind Bron will be a FA after next season. They could in theory team up somewhere

Draft capital is draft capital but I feel like the Spurs are getting mad fleeced here... Seems everyone wants to get into the Victor sweepstakes in 2023. Knicks got multiple picks. Spurs want multiple picks. Guess the hype is real. A rich man's Rudy Gobert with a 7'9 wingspan and a three ball who put in work on the guy who just went #2 overall? Yeah, he's legit for sure. Could bust, but maybe the best defensive prospect I've seen ever(?)

Legit the best prospect in years with no real ceiling If he is a bust so be it but the man has talent to win multiple MVPS

Hell the top 10 is going to be good in itself By that logic Knicks and Kings will end up 11-14 lol

Dikembe, maybe.

Dikembe, maybe. A mix of Mutumbo and Camby At 7'2 he has the ability to be able to defend players on the wings with his long wing span and still have the strength to block shots in the paint. While Zion did get a shit ton of hype, Vik hype has surpassed him to probably the most legit prospect since LeBron

Bum ass franchise, I swear. 😂 I would have made fun of the "all-in for the play-in" a year ago but after seeing/feeling all the joy with my traditional bottomfeeder Timberwolves ... I'm ok with it. You gotta at least give a little sliver of joy from time to time. I'd love to see the Kings enjoy at least that fools hope.

Hell the top 10 is going to be good in itself By that logic Knicks and Kings will end up 11-14 lol They absolutely are landing 11-14 They’re going to try to feast on teams who go full tank down the stretch to get into that final spot. They ain’t shutting down Sabonis and DeAaron for bruises this season.
