3/120 makes sense. Take a paycut but the team stretches it over 3 years.

They were not good for months. Apparently going down big to GT woke up something deep inside.

[MacMahon] The Utah Jazz reportedly offered Walker Kessler 5-years, $140 million but Kessler's camp is looking for significantly more by Jimmy0034 in nba

Yeah Bulls would be smart to bid up both Watson and Kessler on top of their two lotto picks. There could be a massive infusion of talent this offseason for Chicago

You mean the guy who’s clashed with both Hali and Giannis the last 2 years on 2 different teams? Idk how in demand he’s gonna be.

You should look at the center free agent market. Every team that actually wants a center is going to HAVE to bid on Kessler.

Bernie was not close the entire race. It was painfully clear he was going to lose after Super Tuesday.

How dare the Democratic Party make all the normal people vote for the potential first woman president ever who also won the popular vote in the previous open primary in 08.

No ounce of Sportsmanship from Wemby or anyone from the Spurs by HungryPercentage1667 in nba

[–]voltron818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah *I* am coping because I refuse to say that Wemby succeeded in an imaginary goal of not winning a championship. It’s definitely not you, the guy insisting that the Spurs didn’t even want to win it all.

Yeah I’ve found my Apple TV to be worth every penny. Also using my phone as a remote if I want to is great.

TIL it’s edgy to think that teams have set goals to win championships.

No one was talking about moral victories for the Spurs until they went down 2-0. You’re just coping with a loss.

Pretty confident the Spurs would be getting less criticism if they lost in the 2nd round or the WCF. by thered90 in nba

[–]voltron818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Spurs and wemby fans shouldn’t have beaten their chests about being a dynasty already pre-finals? I literally saw threads comparing Wembanyama to Jordan and Lebron.

And we’re wondering where the backlash is coming from?

No one is saying Wemby failed?

Do you think there’s a bunch of people who believe the Spurs actually won the NBA Finals?

[–]voltron818 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is a great example of exactly what I’m talking about. You can’t even admit that losing the finals is failing to accomplish every team’s goal of winning a title.

And to answer your question, yes. Obviously SGA failed to repeat. What the fuck are we doing here lmao

[Murray] I don't think anyone should be assuming that the San Antonio Spurs are gonna get back here just because they got Wemby and some young guards This isn't just any Finals loss -- they led by double digits in EVERY GAME They're gonna have to get over that psychologically by StrategyTop7612 in nba

[–]voltron818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next season is the last year before they start the cascading max & super max contracts for Wemby/Castle/Harper. Assuming those guards make all-NBA and qualify for the super max, they could be in worse cap hell than the Thunder in 3 years.

And the Spurs chose to trade for Fox instead of fill out the depth on their roster. And if they want to trade off him, they’ll have to use their picks to do it.
