The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[Metta]

Moving Spurs discussion here
1st of all , the Spurs are not expected to be a playoff team this year, so having a lottery pick next draft does make sense. ( As Manu mentioned let's be patient and were 3 years away from competing seriously) , it's of little value to get wins and just be a mediocre play in level team this season ( that's not the goal)
[/B]

The Limbo Zone. A lot of teams/programs (*ahem* gilas) fall into that trap. Always going for the quick-fix and never laying a good long-term foundation leads to lasting mediocrity. Never becoming really bad but never really becoming great either.

Recent champion teams like the Warriors, Bucks and Nuggets built their foundational pieces through the draft and patiently developed them. The Lakers because of their starpower is an exception because most players will always want to play with them (they give your brand massive exposure).

Having Wemby and other very young pieces fits perfectly with the Spurs philosophy of long-term development. They aren't great at building a team through trades. In a way, another potential golden generation fell in their laps.

Essentially yes , while continuing to develop their young core , they gave up a decent PG in Payne who would of helped get more wins, for nothing to focus on giving burn for their young core.

They're already looking for their future PG

It's too early to tell, but what is the likelihood that the top three picks in the 2023 NBA draft will end up as busts? Ausar Kwahi 2.0 Thompson is ROY for me.

IMG_7369.jpg oh boy, Josh Giddey has been trending as of late due to allegedly having sexual relations with a minor

[greenarcher]

Their 15 year olds look like 25 year old to us.

Oklahoma city's rebuild was doing damn fine until these allegation came up. What a waste of talent if he is suspended or worst case cut from the team.

TIL Giddey is still "only" 21 years old now. Feels like he's been playing in the NBA for a long time now. Even Sengun is 21. And Banchero and this year's leading ROY candidate is 21.

Sir,

Genetically, full-blooded westerners are physically matured looking and the way they handled themselves..that's the culture.

Anyway, Josh Giddey is handsome, a millionaire, a star player and highly skilled baller..no wonder female of all ages are attracted...hehehe.

Sir COJ,

it seems that the Karl Malone comparison may not be a help(?) on his issue, anyway "Older Cows preferred eating younger Grass".
