There's was talk about trading John Wall for Russ last year, right? For the same reason? I think it would be a complete disaster. Russ is his best version when he's allowed to be Russ (IE, let him do whatever he wants on the court and take the good with the bad). But we're already doing that with Jalen to grow him so having Russ reintroduced would be self-sabotage.
Wait, Wall and Russ were traded for each other before? There was gonna be takebacks?
Yep. The takeback option vested.

Sounds like he decided that getting paid to chill out in Miami and come out and say hi to us on our occasional road trip there beats having to work for your money.

I like how a "large bag of dicks" links to Garrison Mathew's bio and "Chrystal the stripper" links to Bruno Fernandez....seems apt.

Didn't that earlier offer come with having to take on a non-expiring contract?

Freeing up minutes, not absorbing any future baggage and sending a loyal franchise guy to a good destination sounds like a W to me.

The amazing part was with 0.7 sec they scored the basket and left 0.3 on the clock.

Nix is so bad. He looks like a guy you would pick up for a ymca game. But was green supposed to switch on that play?

Watch Nix the whole time. He's not even looking at Butler. I don't know who he's guarding. The guy he's looking at is guarded and way outside the 3 point line.

Silas said that he told everyone to stay at home on their man and to not switch anything. I'd rather get blown out than to lose the way we lost the past two.

Tate looks right at Nix and gives him a "wtf man."

Nix was clueless on this play.

You can't blame that play on Nix alone. First, its ridiculous that Silas subbed him in at that point over Christopher who is a much better defender. Second, Tate actually made the biggest screw up on the play.

At the start of the play, Caleb Martin fakes a screen for Bam and Nix completely loses him (possibly trying to switch with KJM). It was a massive mistake, but not the worst on the play. After Nix gets lost, Caleb Martin runs past Jimmy Butler, who is supposed to be guarded by Tate. Tate responds by guarding neither player. He doesn't really pick up Martin, nor does he follow Butler. He just stands there and then blames Nix. If Tate follows Butler, Martin gets a wide open deep 3 with barely any time...a much better outcome.

Silas told them not to switch on the play. Both Nix and Tate completely ignored that message.

Garbage defense. Garbage coaching. Garbage team.

Wow, Spurs are coming on strong for that lotto pic. 12 straight losses. It's Duncan 2.0.

You mean Akeem 2.0.

Spurs won 7 games down the stretch in March/April to finish 6 games above last and 5 games above 2nd worst in 97. Rockets won just 1 of the last ten in 84 to land a top 2 spot. At the time, the worst team from each conference flipped a coin for #1 and #2 and the rest of the teams picked in order. Had the Rockets not tanked, they would have ended up with 5th. The coinflip would have been Philly (with the Clippers pick from a 1978 trade for World B Free) and Portland (with the Pacers pick from a 1981 trade for big white stiff Tom Owens. Pacers traded Owens away for a 2nd round pick a year later.)
