I doubt Philly would have taken McCain at 4. It would be interesting who they would have taken at 11. That said they've done well.

has a rookie ever won sixth man of the year?

He keeps hitting from 3 and he's a keeper. In addition he's hitting the boards. I definitely feel being a bit bigger is better. Perfect energy guy off the bench. 2022 he @ .398 on 5.3 threes a game.

His lack of shooting ability has always tempered my enthusiasm. I'm slightly encouraged by the improved 3 point shooting albeit a limited sample

Who is running the team? There's not a sense of direction. I know the owner was quite meddlesome in the past

The Fox trade and the Kornet Olynyk acquisitions pretty much said it

As has been said many times you can find videos of ben Simmons nailing 3s. It'll be interesting. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm coming around to the belief that Sochan's days with the Spurs are numbered. He's good not great in many areas and a bit of a tweener SF/PF. He's a good but not great...

I don't see any realistic way the Spurs obtain TM3. I think this all speculation- sure the Spurs may have inquired- but even as idiotic as some of the Pelicans moves have been don't see the Spurs having anything to offer. Now if you included Castle......maybe.

I may be wrong, but I think the majority of owners are hoping the Clipps get nailed on this. They don't want to see a bidding war of under the table deals on top of salaries. That and the shear egregiousness of the deal Also at least two franchises maybe 3, would really like to see Uncle Dennis...

Barring injury he'll have a long NBA career. Unless he gets a better shot he's going to be limited. As Brazil mentioned they'll just close the lane on him. The other item is how does he and Harper and Fox fit together given similarities (and Castle the poorest shooter). Don't get me wrong- I...

I still have some concerns about long term success- or maybe fit with the Spurs*. I like his athleticism, feel for the game defensive effort, however He has yet to prove he can shoot.

yes https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6602846/2025/09/05/kawhi-leonard-clippers-nba-investigation-salary-cap-circumvention/ They've (NBA) hired the firm they previously engaged to investigate Sterling and Saver

If, IF this happens and they loose a pick and contract is voided they'll have a hard time recovering. As is they don't control a 1st until 2030 It looks pretty cut and dried- but we'll see
