    that was what i was trying to work through in my earlier post...i just don't know what the path forward should be. last year was it. they looked great on paper, but couldn't hold it together, and now it's too expensive to just run it back and hope for better health.

    i also came to the same conclusion that the real bold play is to move murray, but you absolutely MUST get an on-ball scorer back if you do that. now, i think jokic can make lots of scoring guards look fantastic, so you have some wiggle room. but you have to get someone back. like, who's a capable scoring guard whose stock is low right now? thinking an anfernee simons type plus a bunch of picks? darius garland would have been a candidate, but he moved.

    will be an interesting story to watch in july for sure.

    Might be premature to crown the Spurs it seems.

    The amount of dip***** leading the dip***** after every game is hilarious. It’s a 7 game series. Stop crowing players after one game. f***ing idiots.

    They don't have any draft picks to really do much with. But maybe a mutually beneficial trade could work. What about with the Rockets?

    Denver trades Murray, Braun & DaRon Holmes (into TPE) for Durant, Reed & Capela. That makes sense for both teams and is a win win in my opinion.

    Denver can cut Valancunias with Capela, they get a 2nd option and a ball handler while saving 23m in cap space in the move (13m in the trade and 10m in cutting Val)

    Reed / Brown
    Watson / THJ
    Durant / Cam
    Gordon / Jones
    Jokic / Capela

    They'd be slightly above the 1st apron. Meanwhile Rockets are also slightly above the 1st Apron, they get rid of Durant who is a cancer in their locker room while adding Murray to solve their ball handling and Braun for their bench.

    Murray / FVV
    Amen / Braun
    Eason /
    Jabari / DFS
    Sengun / Adams

    I think that evens out both teams and they're top 6 in the west.
