By Εspi Go To PostWhat even is Melo best season. 2008 when he had his best efficiency on 49% with 25ppg or 2012 when he finished 3rd in MVP but shot like 42% with a few more ppgYou know better than to directly compare efficiency between 2008 and 2024.
By Εspi Go To PostI wasn’t comparing anything, just curious what people consider Melo best season to be
You know better than to have people consider.
By DiPro Go To PostWhat about stocks tho?
Broad market ETFs are the way to go.
Lakers, Suns, Warriors and Clippers all on National TV today, thank god cause I thought I missed my opportunity to catch them play in their other 7000 appearances this season.

Tobias got 8 and 8

doesn't count when you do it against a lottery team
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostLol Wemby with the space jam dunk.-3 in a game where the Spurs are down 20, if only he knew how to win.
By Sharp Go To Post-3 in a game where the Spurs are down 20, if only he knew how to win.
They need so much, I'm not even sure if I like Vassell. Whoever gave Collins an extension should be deported too.
simons is still right in that bracket with jordan poole yikes
By Εspi Go To PostDamn didn’t know dom had DY blockedits very sad
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThey need so much, I'm not even sure if I like Vassell. Whoever gave Collins an extension should be deported too.Yeah Vassell is a genuinely bad player by RAPM (like not even a particularly good bench player) and Collins got that contract based on an outlier shooting season last year. Two pretty bad players owed way too much money, and none of their cheap guys outside of Tre Jones are giving them much value either (Keldon Johnson is an okay bench guy but he's not really outproducing his salary, and on the current Spurs team he should be starting). Osman is a terrible end of the bench player and he's their lone vet.
What should be more concerning for Spurs fans is that outside of Wemby, they've whiffed on basically all their draft picks since their new GM took over as well. Sochan is worse than last year, even excluding his time at PG--he wasn't very good last year, but it was rookie level "not very good." Primo died. Wesley, Champagnie, Branham, and Mamukelashvili are all G league caliber guys you can find near the bottom of any on/off based metrics, and Cissoko was worse than Scoot on the Ignite. Barlowe and Bassey might be okay bench guys but the former gets zero playing time and the latter tore his ACL.
Basically, the entire team outside of Wemby and Tre are either terrible contracts or terrible players and I don't really see how they get out of this situation without essentially starting over (and, if I were the owner, asking their old GM to come back as well).
Should probably add that some of how terrible everyone looks on the defensive end is likely down to coaching and getting rid of Pop could help a lot, but I think he just signed a five year extension last year or something.
lol Wemby now +4 in the time it took me to write this.
By DY_nasty Go To Postsimons is still right in that bracket with jordan poole yikesthats too far but 1-13 in a half is wild
By knux-future Go To PostPop is simply forcing Wemby to hate his teammates and learn the power of hatredIt's like a way dumber version of The Process except Embiid is healthy tricking fans into having hope, and instead of Hinkie you have a dude who loves "hustle" guys and thinks vision 6'9" is the best idea ever.

Even without checking the stats you can just watch them play and see none of these guys have it, Tre is a backup but the rest of the team is so bad that he looks pretty good in comparison. I remember Vassell was drafted as a 3 & D guy, but anytime I watch him play he's just firing up shots with crazy tunnel vision and there is almost no defense, like he's trying to prove he can score cause people said he couldn't. Taking Sochan over Eason or Williams is crazy, I don't know what they saw in him.
They got a long road ahead of them, probably the worst roster outside of a star player in the league. Excluding Wemby, I like more of the young talent on the Pistons, Hornets, Blazers and maybe even the Wiz.

Taking Sochan over Eason or Williams is crazy, I don't know what they saw in him.It's just funny to me that people are so eager to get a star around him that they're talking about trading all their upcoming first round picks for Trae. Not that Trae is bad or he wouldn't benefit from an All Star caliber PG, but with Tre Jones as the starter, point guard is probably their second-best position at the moment. What they really desperately need right now are role players who don't completely tank the lineup. That type of addition by subtraction is much easier (the Hornets just did it as "sellers" at the deadline, and there are a bunch of draft picks this year who project as competent NBA caliber role players) and won't lock them into expensive contracts that limit their flexibility going forward.

I actually think that is what their FO was trying to do when they picked players like Sochan, he was actually pretty good for a college freshman on low usage and he wasn't a terrible pick. But still a big whiff, the thing he was bad at was shooting and offball players who can't shoot have to be really amazing defensively to survive in the modern NBA. Definitely confusing why he went before Eason, but I think they were strongly prioritizing youth (which IMO is a mistake when looking for role players).
And yeah I think there is pretty clearly better talent on every other team outside of the star player. Would still probably rather be the Spurs than any of the teams you mentioned though, lol.
By pilonv1 Go To PostFire Kerradd two more years
