Spurs Doing What Jazz Should be Doing

Bane was the obvious of obvious of choices and we couldnt make it. Makes you re-think that draft picks will just solve your issues because GM's are complete morons sometimes.
ignorant would be the word to describe the Doke pick because it's been the general consensus amongst league GMs that traditional rim-protecting bigs ain't worth ****. The moment we fire DL's ***, Cockburn went undrafted.

I'm sure we could have gotten Doke with a late second rounder or even via UDFA had DL paid any attention to the modern game. I think on one of DL's exit articles, Andy or Tony wrote something like DL wanted Quin to run a twin tower lineup with Favors at the PF spot. That's why he signed Favs after drafting Doke. Ridiculous would've been an understatement.
 
Yeah that Conley deal is looking pretty damn terrible.
Yeah it did from the very beginning. Too bad we botched that along with so many other moves. Wasted the best years of one of the best duos in the NBA and now we are likely to see it blown up. Disappointing isn't the word. Crushing is better.
 
I think Pop is fine with just putting a small extension on his wins record and handing the baton to Quin Snyder next year.

Then the Spurs going to trade for Rudy to pair him with VIktor. It's going to be the greatest team in the history of sports.
I think this is a definite possible scenario but Quin on a team with a roster of a bunch of 21-22 year olds sounds pretty funny.

When we hired him Favors, Hayward, Burke, Burks, Kanter, Exum and Hood were all extremely young and all played 20+ mpg
 
The NBA has a money distribution problem. Too much money goes to few players. If a team drafts well they cannot afford 3 max guys. If your Max players cannot get you a ring and the window has closed it is difficult to unload them. The team receiving the Max players has to gut their roster to do so.
Collins, Hunter, Capela, Huerter, and Griffin. Some combination of those guys will get it done. We would love a draft pick, and maybe we get one in the 2028 or something, but I think the deal can get done.
How good will Atlanta be if they give up all those players. Everyone contributed to the team and their rookie is potentially a future star.

In this scenario they’d probably have:

Young - Murray - Hunter - Jalen Johnson - Rudy

With basically no depth
 
Atlanta trades Gallo, two firsts, two seconds, and 2 pick swaps to SA for Murray. They then trade Collins, Capella, Griffen, and a future first for Rudy.

They have Young, Murray, Gobert, Hunter, Huerter, their Bogey, and Okongu.

That is an impressive 7 man rotation on both sides of the floor.

If that’s all it takes to get Murray we should be in on that.
