2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

yeah, i don't like the rui/lebron lineup except in certain matchups (and maybe in the playoffs?). check it out:



i guess in theory swapping smart for reaves in that most-used lineup could look different? i just like having more speed out there.

agree that dosunmu could start at pg (or sf) depending on whether you define it by offense or defense. i'd still prefer a djj type to a rui type for the other starting spot, though.

 

Yeah we can probably drop this one lol. I also completely forgot about that one Roger Mason year when he was actually pretty decent. He had a game winner on Christmas Day! After we beat them in 08, they were kind of in their relative version of the wilderness for a couple of years. Still won 50+ games, but pretty fraudulent in 09 and 2010.

 

yes. in his prime, ginobili made basically a little over 80% of what his max would be. that would be about 35 for reaves now.

i don't know that the situations were identical, and i think the spurs were considered to maybe have gotten a discount, too.

for some reason, his salary doesn't show up on some lists, but i think those figures would have him around that 40th highest paid slot we keep mentioning.

 

And this is where i am with Austin around 33mil. And i wish the talks of 2nd option would die. I like him on the team but the role not so much. Depth IMO will be key to winning with now.

 

Man f*** the Spurs

 

Cal State Fullerton. Mr. Give you no space to land so you can sprain your ankle. lol.

 

If I was Rob I would try to get better rebounding. If you have Lebron as a stretch 4 for the playoffs he's elite at a ton of stuff but he's an average rebounder and with the other stuff he does even in the DrayBron role he's not going ot have the energy to rebound

Ayton is ok, Hayes is ok, Rui is terrible, Smart is below average, kennard below average.

better perimeter defense would help this as it helps prevents the rotations which cause the center to get moved out of the paint but it's been a consistent issue for years with Lebron and Rui getting big minutes

 

I don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t want Gianiss. Read the report from Myles Turner. Now Kobe was Noctorius for being late for the team plane. But never stuff like this. I just don’t want to put up with the Gianiss circus maybe 5 years ago. Before all the injuries. But not now.

Give me Lebron and we can win with him.
