Stack Jack didn't make the trip to Sactown. He's been gone over a week for personal reasons now. Something's up.

Yeah and hopefully it isn't as bad as it looks for Jack:

He tweeted this yesterday:

and Chad Forcier tweeted him this in response:

Haven't seen any details but I hope he isn't talking about one of his own children. Would be extremely sad.

Yea you would think so. Maybe it's a nephew or something. Either way, horrible.

From Buch.

quote:
Not sure if the Spurs make a deal before Thursday, but a source says it won't be for Josh Smith or Al Jefferson.
The Jefferson rumor never had substance to it because it would've put San Antonio into a difficult salary-cap position. The Smith interest apparently died upon discovering that Josh simply didn't have the requisite Spurs' DNA. Former NBA coach Sam Mitchell told me today that playing for the Spurs would be a great benefit to Smith and I agree; he's never struck me as a malcontent or bad guy or purposely undisciplined. He might not have Spurs' DNA now, but I believe he wouldn't reject a transfusion and it would make the most of the raw talent he clearly has.

Pretty much what I figured. I don't think the Spurs should make a major move. I would like to see if they can somehow get Derrick Williams on the cheap but other than that there isn't really anything out there.

Someone on that Instagram link said Jack's wife miscarried. Take it for what it's worth but it makes sense given the picture he linked.

Green's defense has improved so much this year.

Green can play defense 1 on 1 pretty well but he still has a problem getting through screens. He also gets sucked into the paint way to often leaving a man open from long distance. He's been solid though. His shooting has been spectacular once again.

Let me tell you something right now, Coach Gregg Popovich dropped a few F-Bombs in Dwight Howard's direction during All-Star Break. Now why is that guys? Because, during a timeout, Gregg Popovich drew up a play according to my sources for Dwight Howard in the game. Except, when it was time to run the play, Dwight Howard was not in the game, wasn't paying attention, was on the bench in his warmups chillin out socializing with folks, and Gregg Popovich almost went ballistic and basically was cussing at him according to numerous people that I spoke to

Looks like Jack is in LA and is joining the team:

Forget about Howard. Let's talk about Timmy.

From last night's game notes:

quote:
Tim Duncan will turn 37 on Apr. 25 and ranks 13th in rebounding (9.6) and third in blocked shots (2.75) per game. He averages 29.7 minutes.

Spurs enter the Redick sweepstakes. Orlando really wants a first round pick and the Spurs can provide them with that. This is all according to Mark Stein. You would think that Gary Neal and other considerations would be involved. He's a free agent this offseason, but I would do this trade in a heartbeat if I were the Spurs. Kid is tough.

JJ Redick would be a good fit for the Spurs.

Even if we don't get JJ right now, it's likely we make a play for him in the summer. He and his wife live in Austin during the offseason. With Jack and Neal's contract coming off it could very well happen. He has Spurs DNA all over him.

That actually sounds kinda bad.

Picking up Redick would do two things for Pop. First, it would give him another player who just pisses people off because of who he is. Second, it would finally let Pop trot out an all-white lineup.

Spurs becoming the new Jazz...Reports are saying that what we are offering for him will come up short. Looks like we will wait for the offseason.

Kawhi out for tonight's game.

Atlanta is interested in Blair, but the only way they take him is if they move Smith first. Doesn't seem likely. 30 mins until the deadline is over.

smtih for blair, straight up. boom.

Surprised we held onto Blair. Guess nothing of value came in.

OKC and LAC staying pat is great news for the Spurs though (rumors of KG, Gortat, etc over the last couple weeks).

Well now that that's over with teams are really going to start gearing up for the playoff run.

Kawhi being out definitely hurts tonight but apparently it isn't anything serious and he should be back for tomorrow games. I would probably expect Duncan and Manu to sit out tomorrow at GS. No reason to play those two both games of a b2b from here on out.
