Vassell was very impressive. He clearly has elite defensive IQ and great length. It will be very interesting to see what this team can do with White and Johnson on the floor with him.
Hopefully give up less than 121 points.

In case anyone was wondering, DeJounte Murray still stinks at offense in Year 5.


I was not impressed with DJ unfortunately. He can still be a great defender so I wonder if there a lineup that works with him.

They have to turn him into Bruce Bowen on offense. I think that's best case unfortunately. He can push it in transition when he can but a decision maker and finisher he is not.

Aldridge attempted 10 3-pointers, a harbinger of things to come I suspect.

I got to watch about half the 3rd quarter and the 4th last night. I liked the defensive potential I saw from Vassel. He's long and covers a ton of space, reads passing lanes well and was able to get some steals. Solid game all around from him.

I really liked the 5 out spacing and how our offense operated. We shot 38 threes. Even Eubanks attempted a 3 (although idk how much of that I want to see). We still have holes defensively. What little I saw if Demar he was awful on that end. We were able to switch much more on the perimeter, but had too many guys get lost and give up open threes.

Kirk Goldsberry (former Spurs front office guy) said on a recent podcast that the Spurs were in Kawhi trade talks with Toronto for quite a long time, long before the those Vegas odds were on Toronto. They were always going to be the trade partner. Amazing that both franchises were able to keep any leaks from happening.

Which podcast? I've always really liked Kirk. Had dinner with him at a Rockets game years ago when he was with Grantland.

I believe it was the Ringer Basketball. Friday's episode titled 'Does the NBA have a James Harden Problem?' Haha

I think he was on Lowe's podcast as well on Friday.

I'm done watching DeJounte Murray with the ball. He absolutely sucks.

Kid needs to do nothing but practice catch and shoots.

Watch this guy's videos:

That's exactly what I've been saying. He needs to be transformed into a 3&D player. He can't even be a 6th man type role. He's lucky he got the contract he did.

Anyone on the market we can grab to replace Lyles?

LMA doing his best to tank his trade value. He must really want to finish his career here.

Vassell is going to get good minutes as a rookie. He isn't scared. He's plays defense has good overall offensive skill and IQ. I can't wait to see him with Keldon and Derek back in action.

Yea it should be a completely different team. If Derrick isn't our PG I don't think I want to watch the team this season.

Keldon and Derrick are at least a few weeks away from returning BTW. This team might get in a hole very quickly to begin the season.

Thats a little dramatic. Murray is a sevicable PG. Besides, many times somebody else would be initiating a play anyway, namely either Derozan or Walker. Then you have Patty coming off the bench.

Not really. Murray is a dog**** half court PG. he turns the ball over and doesn't finish at the rim.

Yeah you're right. Its perfectly rational to claim you won't watch anymore if he's the starting PG.

Vassell is going to rip away walker's minutes. The guy should get a lot of playing time this year. We desperately needed a player like him.

I don't see where Aldridge fits in with this team. It seems like the modern NBA just passed him by. His feet are stuck in cement out there.

He might already be our best all around player. It really sux that Derrick and Keldon are out right now. We might have 3 legit 2-way studs.

If he can't score (like tonight), then he is a liability. But it's not like the Spurs have alot of options at PF. I don't think playing Lyles 36 minutes a night is a recipe for success.

It is a recipe for Evan Mobley.

I think Lonnie is getting VIP tickets to Pop's doghouse this season. Yikes.

Well he did a commercial for PETA during the break, so maybe he's cool with that.

Probably joining our staff to prevent Wright from trading Keldon for a Morris twin.

Forbes is sitting at a -30 +/- right now for Milwaukee.

Hey everybody! I'm a little late to the party this year but at least I got in before the first regular season game. I see some of you are in mid-season form of judging players on a short training camp and a couple of pre-season games.

Realistically, I think this team will be fun to watch before the year is over but may have some growing pains especially if Derrick and Keldon can't go at the beginning. I hope we make the playoffs but more importantly, I hope these young guys continue to show growth. We have the players to become an elite defensive team and hopefully compete for a championship soon!

Luke Kennard just got $64 million/4 yrs. Guess that means Derrick should get a max extension.

Derrick's decision coming down to the wire. If I'm not mistaken, a good number of teams have cap room next offseason when there won't be a ton of big names (most of signed extensions). Would hate to bid against a dumbass like Dolan. Something like $80 million/4 yrs. seems about right for White.
