I feel like channeling my inner Ex, so apologies, but: You Don't Trade Away Bad Players I don't want a Castle trade to happen, so I don't know if I'm one of the ones you're commenting on. But I feel like it's important to repeat this as much as possible. The Spurs aren't at the point where...

The Spurs aren't a piece away from winning, be it, Portis, Aldama, Murphy or whatever. It's not a supporting cast issue. If you put this supporting cast in a cryo chamber for three years and let them play with a seasoned Wemby, they'd be legit title contenders. But those three years are...

No, you would not. Saying this is just being dishonest with yourself. You aren't interested in any reasonable discussion about Castle, and you'll label any view that disagrees with you as irrational to protect your belief. This is why you are trying to bring up an unrelated trade idea. It's...

There's one core player, and that's Wemby. Everyone else is just a potential piece to the puzzle. The Spurs should be using this time to see what works around Victor. If they are, then in my opinion Castle is the third guard despite the team giving him the first crack at things. If the Spurs...

I don't believe the Spurs are currently trying to trade Castle and don't want them to. But he's not their core until he proves it. As of now, his performance makes him a top prospect, which can be used just as easily for trades than developed. I don't want the team to make a trade worthy of...

Ex seems to think that because he defines Portis's career off one action that his teammates must do so too. If Bobby were a bad character, it would be showing now. He's in a completely different locker room now and no longer in a position where guys would feel the need to "side" with him or...

I'd really love for Houston to panic and make a big trade to where the Spurs can slide in and snag Jabari Smith. I think he'd thrive between Wemby and the guards.

If they trade Castle for Murphy, I could see them wanting a defensive guard to replace Steph

Ole Crazy Eyes has been my top target for a couple of years. The guy who he punched isn't even in the league anymore in part because of character issues. I'd much rather have a guy on my team punch a jerk teammates than a guy who tries to injure opponents. Portis for Sochan and McLaughlin. Then...

My feelings about Steph are pretty close to where they were during the summer. I have him clearly behind Harper in terms of future stocks. I am open to trading Castle if he's being valued as a top prospect and can allow the team to make a huge trade without hamstringing themselves in terms of...

Knew the game was lost the second they but Castle back in. No idea what made Mitch believe this was Steph's game.

The Spurs better not be trying to trade real assets for a third-string center. There isn't a path to win if Victor and to a lesser extent Kornet get hurt. That's how things are for every team in the league. The only position to worry about is the PF/third starting wing spot. No, they might not...

While I have nothing against Bryant going to Austin for a couple of games to get run, those should only come when the Spurs have a couple of days off. I'm very glad that he's not in Austin learning how to be a "star" like the numerous prospects of the team's past. Coming in for a few minutes to...

Yaxel Lendenborg seems kind of small for a power-forward. Tankathon has him listed as 6-9.75, but he looks closer to 6-7 in his highlight videos. He's ancient (will be 24 when he suits up to start next season), and he's not playing good competition at the moment. But he's uber-productive on both...

So what seems like an obvious move is to trade Sochan and McLaughlin/Waters for some forward making $13.7 Million or less, then signing DJG to a multi-year contract and adding a center prospect for the final two-way slot. Veteran forwards making between $10 Million and $13.7 Million this...
