Watching the Rockets/Memphis game and Aldama only has 5 points which is weird, I could have sworn he was All-NBA after watching him play against us.

Did you also notice how many good players the Rockets have that we don't have because we draft and roster-manage like shit.

Don Harris (SA local broadcast sports guy?) tweeted earlier today: "Spurs very active and perhaps close on complicated 4-team deal that would bring D'Aaron Fox to San Antoio. Stay Tuned"

 

4 team deal gets me excited. Maybe finessing our way out of giving up both Castle and Vassell and all our 1st-round capital.

3 players will be leaving SA plus picks, allegedly not players that you’d think Sacramento would want 

 

spurs will allegedly be a much better team after this 

 

could be announced prior to game and if not just look at bench of players

Giannis seems like a giant pussy sometimes. Chris Paul barely pushed him to intentionally foul him, Giannis flies out of bounds, and then points and tries to start shit with Chris for the rest of the game, even after the game he wouldn't stop chirping at him. The whole time Chris was like "wtf? I barely touched you."

The Rockets are 32-14.

The Grizzlies are 31-16.

Is anyone ready to hold our front office accountable yet?

The rockets had three straight years of 17-22 wins directly after blowing it up with the Harden trade, which netted them pick 2, 3, and 4 and then 3 (from Brooklyn via Harden trade) in successive drafts along with a bevy of other first round picks. They busted on guys like Garuda, Josh Christopher, Ty Ty Washington. Hell, Jalen Green looked like a bust as recently as last season. Sengun was a spurs fuck up but do they get Wemby if they make that pick instead of Primo? Sliding doors and all.

Regardless, Houston is rightfully ahead of the Spurs schedule. They started their true rebuild two years ahead. Memphis drafted Ja and JJJ in successive drafts, 6 years ago, that is the core of their team. They are vets now. They’ve done a great job finding guys late like Bane and their recent drafts have been great but they are on a different timeline than the Spurs. 

This thing is going to take some patience, regardless of how ridiculous Wemby is. He’s still only in year 2. Castle is a rookie and showing more every night. Getting Fox would obviously accelerate the timeline but this team is going to be contending a lot sooner than later. They need more vets and shooters, but they aren’t that far off.

I also think the Spurs would have 3-4 more wins if Pop were at the reins. Too many games fell apart at the seams late in the game in ways that, although characteristic of a young team, are also preventable with better coaching. So the gap between the Spurs and Rockets isn't quite that great. I think postseason experience would be much better for the Spurs than tanking.

It was nice to see Keldon and Tre have great games last night. Boost that trade value. I don’t know what the fuck has happen to Sochan offensively. There is no confidence whatsoever. Looks like me trying to score on Kris Clack at the rec center during pick up.

I watched it 3-4 times. His fingers grazed him. It was way more air than force. Maybe Giannis is so frail that air blows him over?
