Not mentioned in the video, but the Nuggets didn't make any headlines with their roster upgrades, but trading Monte Morris and Will Barton for KCP, drafting Christian Braun and signing Bruce Brown to shore up their defense might be one of the more underrated off-seasons in the NBA. All of these acquisitions are defensive players and shore up their perimeter immensely. Adding to Aaron Gordon's defense and then two 20 ppg scorers in Jamal Murray and MPJ who are healthy to the 2 time defending MVP in Nikola Jokiç, these Nuggets might start slow but will turn some heads come playoff time next year.
I am a Nuggets fan and this doesn’t excite me as it does to you. I hope you are right though, just don’t think it’s a We want to win championship move.
@@matthieusaade3616 Malik Monk was often the second best player on the Lakers, and Kevin Heurter is a great sharpshooter. Plus the way Keegan Murray is playing, he could win ROTY. Not saying he will, cuz its summer league, but so far its been the best pick of the draft
The Raptors don't need to make a move to be winners. If they sit pat and keep their core intact, their "moves" are internal growth and developments. Getting Kevin Durant for half our team would instantly make us losers.
It depends on if the Raptors want to win now or wait for the future. Basically, they need Kd to have a shot in the east, otherwise, they are no match for the Celtics, the 76ers, and the Bucks. Siakam is a great player, not a superstar yet, we already saw Tatum crumble in the finals, and Siakam wasn't even at his level. Scottie Barnes could be the next superstar, but you won't expect he will suddenly become Kawhi next season right? Just take a look at the rosters right now, not a chance that they can go toe to toe with any team I mentioned if they are healthy.
The Jazz are the biggest Winners of this off-season. They got 5 first rounders, basically Six if you count Kessler. While trading only TWO guys, one not being Donovan. When they do, they’ll add 4+ more draft picks and a bunch of young players with crazy potential.
Nah the league has him Figured out. He can’t shoot: just let him ahoy and clog the paint. Wstbrick . Plus offenses have adapted to creating and ball movement.
@@Fazi4k because there’s alternate forms of e exercise that he could do even with the hamstring injury like swimming that is great and safe cardio even on injury
How are you not gonna talk about prob the biggest winners of the offseason in the celtics adding Brodgan and Gallo without giving up any important pieces?
The Nuggets need to be mentioned as winners! They shored up their perimeter D with kcp, Brown, and Braun, while getting rid of hero ball ballhog Will Barton in the process. The only thing they lost was a great backup pg in Monte Morris. Add in the return of Jamal Murray and MPJ next season and they'll be dangerous
He's looking at it from the money aspect, as he said they will have to pay both the max or near max in the case of Dejounte which takes a lot of cap space and with those two, they are still a second round exit at best
Disagree with your trail blazers grade: this roster is better than the 2019 one dame took to the WCF's. Grant and payton are great defensive additions and some of the summer league championship guys will make an impact this coming season as rotation players. Plus..like you said; they ain't done yet
@@savonsanders3955 McDaniels and Edwards will be just fine from what I've seen, but if you're hypothetically using the warriors as the matchup here, then I can agree that they'll probably get gobert in curry poole or kuminga pNr's to generate offense.
Lol I know nba RUclipsrs don’t watch the wolves, so I can’t fault them for factual wrong takes but the wolves have plenty of perimeter defenders Kyle Anderson, prince, McDaniels, ant who has made strides since year one, even Dlo has made good strides with the new coach, Austin rivers, McLaughlin (who lacks length but is going to bust his ass) minott, Wendell Moore. They have far more wing defenders then gobert has ever had. Just in the future actually watch the wolves and do some research before you have a take otherwise you sound uneducated. Like you do now.
For real, as soon as I heard him say that about the Wolves it was obvious that he's watched exactly none of their games. He might not even know who's on the roster haha
How does adding an all star and building around your superstar make you a loser? And why do you hate the hawks and Trae. A few years ago you said Trae was the most overrated player because he was averaging 25 points and 10 assists and wasn’t an All Star, THAT MAKES YOU UNDERRATED NOT OVERRATED!
His takes are ridiculous. I remember in 2021 he said KD and lebron were better than steph. That’s laughable at best. And he had Giannis like three tiers below them...
@@Kilooma are you joking? KD averaged like 26ppg and lebron played no defense. Steph on the other hand averaged 32pph on 47/42/92 splits. Easily the best player in the world.
Biggest loser of the off-season: The Hornets. They found their head coach of the future, Kenny Atkinson. He accepted, then backed out. This left the Hornets scrambling and they offered Steve Clifford. Again. After he was just fired from there a few years ago. And then Miles Bridges. The Hornet's #2 player of the future. The close friend to their franchise player. The Hornets were prepared to match a max salary for him ... and then less than 24 hours before free agency opens, he is arrested on felony domestic abuse charges. He's still unsigned. This, of course, happened shortly after the NBA draft where Charlotte traded their 13th pick away when there were some fantastic wings still available. Going from one of the best young teams in the NBA to suddenly having a fringe all-star arrested on felony charges. Yikes. (And, obviously, I feel for Miles' wife and kid. That's heartbreaking. I wish them all the best.) No one had a worse off-season. I went from hoping they'd be a top 5 seed to now hoping we get lucky in the lottery and get Wembanyama to pair with LaMelo.
@@gui.3255 there still losers. They barely did anything this off season or had a good draft, They traded Jalen Duren and got Mark Williams who isn`t bad but Duren was the better player, and the Miles Bridges situlation if he`s convicted.
Seriously though, this the same dude that was saying Trae doesn't lead to winning and he was clowning us saying Hawks would miss the playoffs, that same year we went to the ECF.😂 Some people never learn I guess...
No it wasn't. If the Hawks turn out to be really good the spurs picks will be trash picks. If the picks turn out to be good picks that means the hawks turned out to be bad and they have no picks to rebuild with. If one wins the other loses
Me along with other Warriors fans SAS and Shaq are the only people who believed in the Warriors last year when the season started, I knew Steph was gonna get us back on track of our dynasty years and once Klay came back it was game over for the rest of the league
I think Lebron foresaw the future incorrectly. I don’t think he saw the Warriors ever regaining that championship level, and I think he didn’t think AD would struggle this much.
Lol hawks got A team full of traceable players/assets, I don’t see how they lose you just drafted Okwengu Jalen J and now AJ griffin how many young guys they need
I’m glad you owned up to that bet when you said that at the beginning of the year I wanted the warriors to prove you wrong I think you had them out of the play offs like bro what?
Beverly was the perfect one year rental for the team cause he provided guidance for the best players.DLO had his best season as a defender and playmaker by far so they will be fine
Technically speaking, any team landing Wembanyama is a longshot… That’s why it’s called a lottery. Houston, and any other team with multiple first round picks, actually holds a slight advantage here.
Damn nothing about Sacramento huh? 😑 they had a great off-season with a good coach hiring of Mike Brown and additions of Malik Monk, Kevin Huerter and Summer League MVP Keegan Murray
Hawks: You're the only person I've heard say they are losers. Yeah that's 2 max contracts but they are building a contender so they'll spend what they need to Pelicans: I think only ESPN was thinking Zion was going to New York T-Wolves: They actually have a good line of wings, they just added a couple this offseason too Nets: Great now you got two disgruntled stars to deal with who don't wanna be there. Plus with Kyrie it's just a matter of when at this point Lakers: LeBron ain't going anywhere, he'll just talk louder to get better pieces around him even if it means parting with Russ Warriors: All depends on health and if Moody and Wiseman can make a leap Suns: KD had multiple teams on his list. it would take Booker, Bridges and first round picks and Phoenix wasn't gonna go that far. Rockets: They honestly didn't need to do anything with how young everybody is Wizards: Got nothing bad to say about Beal, loyalty is a trait I admire. Plus it'll be interesting to see how he pairs with Unicorn plus Morris and Barton were interesting guys to trade for Mavs: I don't think anyone predicted the leap Brunson would make last year so it made sense they didn't extend. Wood plays bad defense and McGee is just there nowadays Blazers: Sure they didn't get a star but if Simons goes the way he's going could be a nice CJ replacement. Plus I liked the Grant/Payton moves. Better offseason than last Thunder: Pretty soon you'll see that Chet is all hype Sixers: No arguments but still not enough to be top 3 in the East Celtics and Kings were also winners
No perimeter defense on the Timberwolves? Are you high? Do you watch them at all? If anything they had no interior defense the perimeter defense was fine. Ranked 13th in the league fym.
Gobert is in a much better situation now than he was in Utah. Younger and more athletic teammates. Edwards and Prince can handle the perimeter duties as well as McDaniels and Slo Mo.. If Wolves got a rematch with the Grizzlies next season, it would be fun just seeing how many times Morant would attempt at dunking on Gobert and succeeding. Now that's a scenario worth betting on...
Overlooking the Nuggets once again, Casey. The Nuggets are winners getting back MPJ and Jamal Murray. They also added wing defenders KCP and Bruce Brown for cheap. AG, KCP, and Brown all ranked inside the top 30 in Bball-Index’s Matchup Difficulty metric last season. Keep sleeping, Casey.
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 do you watch anything other than the sports media? Its there job to fuel rumors and bs like that non stop to keep you sheep watching
How are the wolves losers? No perimeter defense? Jmac Ant Nowell Tauren prince and Kyle Anderson aren’t good wing defenders? You really should do your research before dropping talking points
@@jessehuisman1879 Nowell is solid but yes even Wendell Moore y’all got great wing defenders to put around Gobert don’t see why it should be a problem I love the fit
No mention of the pistons? We added Alec burks and nurlens Noel to fill in after our GREAT YOUNG CORE. We got ivey and then duren from a first round pick from the knicks… and u talked about the rockets n thunder.
I stopped watching after you said the wolves lose... as if those picks would amount to gobert. and you forget that people who are hoping they get the top picks are the ones without a franchise player. we possibly have atleast 2 . in ant and in KAT .. + gobert who is what we needed . for decades the wolves weakness were rebounding and defense.. they just got the best defender in the league and last years top rebound guy and we lose? .. ANT jmac prince and anderson are above average defenders. maybe you need to think again. PAT BEV only played 60 games for us. we gave up beasley and yes a lot of people are high on vando but is he not a liability on offense .. So 10 out of 10 if you ask me who would i rather have beverly and vando i would take gobert all day. Beasley is replace by forbes at a much cheaper deal. so did the wolves really lose?
Pistons and Celtics are underrated winners. Pistons avoided giving miles bridges that max and turned jeremi grant who’s gonna be out of his prime in a few years into jalen duran. Along with stealing Jaden Ivey from the kings. And the Celtics got Malcom without giving up any vital pieces of their core.
It’s way too early to say the Nets are winners, considering either or both KD/Kyrie could still move this off-season. I give the front office respect for not immediately caving in on the demands, but given all the things that could happen between now and the start of the season, it’s not a sure bet.
Instant L when I seen the Hawks called a loser , you gotta be a fool to think the Hawks overpaid for Dejounte lol man you RUclips dudes are falling off bad.. didn’t even mention how the hawks got a pick back for the kings. So basically the hawks traded two first round picks for a 25 year two way all star.. do homework or stop making nba videos kid
What you said about the blazers is completely false. Jerami grant was an amazing pickup for the blazers. Anfernee showed up last season and has proven to be a great guard, and most likely, Nassir little will show up too. The draft was amazing for the blazers, getting a young Jabari walker from the 57th pick that averaged 12 and 9 on efficient shooting in the summer league. They also got Shaedon Sharpe which could be an all star type player in just a couple seasons. The bench has also improved significantly with multiple other pick ups, and good trade pieces. The blazers are most likely going to be either a 1st round or 2nd round exit, or a contender.
Tbh the Lakers are incomplete. They got Lonnie Walker IV, a good scorer with defense, along with roster fillers such as Troy Brown Jr, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damion Jones. They also signed Thomas Bryant to a team friendly deal who can be huge with AD and space the floor with LeBron. The only way I could see us be losers is if we miss out on Kyrie and keep Russ, then we are HUGE losers. But for right now I see us as incomplete.
Bruh why would we let our 2018 1st pick in Deandre Ayton leave for nothing, Myles Turner is a glorified roleplayer there is no guarantee we get KD, Chris Paul is gonna retire soon so DAyton could be the second option, and we all know we ain’t winning a chip only with Book
I believe the Bucks are not in the “winners list” but just to skip them like if they didn’t get the ring a year ago is for sure a pity. What do you think about the Bucks? Are the still competitors even if they didn’t make so many changes?
Yea Chet flashing his jewelry was super goofy. Like what he think, all us at home who weren't born 10 feet tall n about to b getting paid millions from the age of 18 gonna b like "woah cool chain bro, I like u so much more now" ....🤨😒
Dallas actually offered Brunson $106-m, $2-m more than the Knicks. Brunson still chose to play for the Knicks. Mavs lost Brunson for nothing, can't replace him cos they don't have the cap space, and they're considered winners for that move? At least they managed to acquire Christian Wood before they lost Brunson.
Is it possible for KD to not play games, or is it possible for KD to purposely perform bad to make the team angry, and heres the third option; what is going to happen if the team refuses to trade him
Well done video Casey. Nice t-shirt. Go Dubs! Spurs - are super-tanking for the top pick in the draft. Pops is a tanker. I'm old enough to remember David Robinson, Tim Duncan, and now this kid next season - they hope and pray to get. I'll pick the Spurs to have the worst regular season record. And agreed the GM of the Hawks - is in desperation mode.
I think it's the best for the Spurs, I mean they got enough from that DJM trade. The only thing they could argue is for the Charlotte Hornets' first pick to be unprotected, now with the crap the Hornets are getting through, I doubt they will be on the top, which means good-bye first-round pick. I feel like the Spurs should already be tanking after Kawhi left the team, but they keep going and become that kind of team at the top of the button, just take a look at the Rockets and the Thunder right now, they used to be top dogs with the Spurs, but they decided to start tanking a lot earlier, and got some really good picks and high potential players. Getting Wembanyama or not, the Spurs did a really great job with the picks this year, Sochan is already a great all-around defender, he got the potential to be a better Draymond IMO. Don't forget Branham, he was predicted to be in the top 10 for a while , but we stole him with a 20#. He showed great potential in his scoring abilities in the SL , a potential all-star two-way guard. He already got a better shooting form than the rest of the Spurs' backcourt. I would say they will be complete after getting a use-able PG, currently, they suck in that category. Tre Jones is only first bench worthy, don't have much hope in Primo, also both of them can't hit a 3-pointer, they picked too many score guards beforehand.
@@Leo-nc3yx Well stated Leo. My cousin is a Spurs diehard fan. As a Warriors fan from the 70’s, I’ve come into conflict with my cousin’s takes on his Spurs over the years. On Popovich. On tanking. And small ball. And on dirty play. I’m old enough to have seen Pops as an assistant on the Warriors bench under Coach Don Nelson. Lol! I’ll keep an eye on Brahman - he sounds promising. The Spurs do great at the end of drafts. Only they’ll need to draft a Tim Duncan or David Robinson at the top of the draft - to make them contenders. Now that there’s a game changing center coming up, there might be a rewarding reason to tank.
Thanks for mentioning me in the video!

Suns: KD had multiple teams on his list. it would take Booker, Bridges and first round picks and Phoenix wasn't gonna go that far.
Rockets: They honestly didn't need to do anything with how young everybody is
Wizards: Got nothing bad to say about Beal, loyalty is a trait I admire. Plus it'll be interesting to see how he pairs with Unicorn plus Morris and Barton were interesting guys to trade for
Mavs: I don't think anyone predicted the leap Brunson would make last year so it made sense they didn't extend. Wood plays bad defense and McGee is just there nowadays
Blazers: Sure they didn't get a star but if Simons goes the way he's going could be a nice CJ replacement. Plus I liked the Grant/Payton moves. Better offseason than last
Thunder: Pretty soon you'll see that Chet is all hype
Sixers: No arguments but still not enough to be top 3 in the East
Celtics and Kings were also winners
Jerami Grant has been great this season, and so has Anferne. Disrespecting a 21 point per game scorer this year is insane.
Just curious, will the complete list be uploaded soon? Pretty sure you missed a few teams, no?
No perimeter defense on the Timberwolves? Are you high? Do you watch them at all? If anything they had no interior defense the perimeter defense was fine. Ranked 13th in the league fym.
BRO UR MY FAV RUclipsRR
Ben Simmons on the Spurs would be hilarious 😂
if the raps win the championship, you have to dye your hair red
Gobert is in a much better situation now than he was in Utah. Younger and more athletic teammates. Edwards and Prince can handle the perimeter duties as well as McDaniels and Slo Mo.. If Wolves got a rematch with the Grizzlies next season, it would be fun just seeing how many times Morant would attempt at dunking on Gobert and succeeding. Now that's a scenario worth betting on...
Overlooking the Nuggets once again, Casey. The Nuggets are winners getting back MPJ and Jamal Murray. They also added wing defenders KCP and Bruce Brown for cheap. AG, KCP, and Brown all ranked inside the top 30 in Bball-Index’s Matchup Difficulty metric last season. Keep sleeping, Casey.
Pistons are winners, killer draft and they got Bojan for a 10 cents on the dollar.
LeBron has picked every one of his teammates for 12 years. The only one he has to blame is himself.
That’s cap
@@AtlasAdvice254 No cap.
@@AtlasAdvice254 do you watch basketball?
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 do you watch anything other than the sports media? Its there job to fuel rumors and bs like that non stop to keep you sheep watching
@@AtlasAdvice254 I have the mental capacity to be well versed in politics, history and the NBA. I’m sorry it’s not the same for you, 🐐
Chet’s attitude actually pisses me off, but man o man I can’t say nothing cause dude is SKILLED.
How are the wolves losers? No perimeter defense? Jmac Ant Nowell Tauren prince and Kyle Anderson aren’t good wing defenders? You really should do your research before dropping talking points
Fax except nowell isn’t a good defender, and we got wendall Moore from the draft who will be a good defender
@@jessehuisman1879 Nowell is solid but yes even Wendell Moore y’all got great wing defenders to put around Gobert don’t see why it should be a problem I love the fit
Yea as a wolves fan I am very excited
LETS GO WOLVES!
Probably because Casey has more hate for Gobert than Shaq.
If Jazz don't trade Mitchell , do you think Jazz will bench him like Thunder did with SGA to get better odds at #1 pick?
I always look forward to a new Casey vid
No mention of the pistons? We added Alec burks and nurlens Noel to fill in after our GREAT YOUNG CORE. We got ivey and then duren from a first round pick from the knicks… and u talked about the rockets n thunder.
Hey AM
Been wondering what NBA team do you root for?
-Big Miami Heat Fan
He’s definitely a bandwagon type of guy. But only for large markets
Yeah where did you buy that shirt Casey I really want it.
Remember what the Bucks gave up for Holiday? Think Murray on the Hawks. The package is similar in value. Look how that ended up for Milwaukee!
Milwaukee kept Portis and a roster that was a Middleton injury away from another (likely) Finals trip. Nothing sexy but how that isn’t a win…
I stopped watching after you said the wolves lose... as if those picks would amount to gobert. and you forget that people who are hoping they get the top picks are the ones without a franchise player. we possibly have atleast 2 . in ant and in KAT .. + gobert who is what we needed . for decades the wolves weakness were rebounding and defense.. they just got the best defender in the league and last years top rebound guy and we lose? .. ANT jmac prince and anderson are above average defenders. maybe you need to think again. PAT BEV only played 60 games for us. we gave up beasley and yes a lot of people are high on vando but is he not a liability on offense .. So 10 out of 10 if you ask me who would i rather have beverly and vando i would take gobert all day. Beasley is replace by forbes at a much cheaper deal. so did the wolves really lose?
Great video Casey
How about the Celtics ?
Pistons and Celtics are underrated winners. Pistons avoided giving miles bridges that max and turned jeremi grant who’s gonna be out of his prime in a few years into jalen duran. Along with stealing Jaden Ivey from the kings. And the Celtics got Malcom without giving up any vital pieces of their core.
I’m really hoping the spurs help the Lakers and take on Westbrook and in return get plenty of picks 🤞🏾🤞🏾
Well.... Rudy didn't get a full super max. He got enough money to be called a super max. But it wasn't a full super max.
Chet Holmgren makes Kevin Durant look beefy.
Lakers: 🎯 Kyrie Irving.
Pawn Stars: The most I can do is Thomas Bryant.
It’s way too early to say the Nets are winners, considering either or both KD/Kyrie could still move this off-season. I give the front office respect for not immediately caving in on the demands, but given all the things that could happen between now and the start of the season, it’s not a sure bet.
Lebron saying that despite he personally picks his teammates. Hypocrite.
The Blazers are gonna be a good team
where do I find the discord?
Missed the nuggets. Better get on the hype train now! You won’t regret it!
dont get it twisted, when westbrook got that contract he was a face of the league type player
Casey didn't even mention LA Clippers ? He's definitely a Secret Lakers fan
Instant L when I seen the Hawks called a loser , you gotta be a fool to think the Hawks overpaid for Dejounte lol man you RUclips dudes are falling off bad.. didn’t even mention how the hawks got a pick back for the kings. So basically the hawks traded two first round picks for a 25 year two way all star.. do homework or stop making nba videos kid
Nice shirt! hahaha! You bet the Lakers would be better than the Warriors??? That shirt should say #secretWestbrickfan
What you said about the blazers is completely false. Jerami grant was an amazing pickup for the blazers. Anfernee showed up last season and has proven to be a great guard, and most likely, Nassir little will show up too. The draft was amazing for the blazers, getting a young Jabari walker from the 57th pick that averaged 12 and 9 on efficient shooting in the summer league. They also got Shaedon Sharpe which could be an all star type player in just a couple seasons. The bench has also improved significantly with multiple other pick ups, and good trade pieces. The blazers are most likely going to be either a 1st round or 2nd round exit, or a contender.
Tbh the Lakers are incomplete. They got Lonnie Walker IV, a good scorer with defense, along with roster fillers such as Troy Brown Jr, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damion Jones. They also signed Thomas Bryant to a team friendly deal who can be huge with AD and space the floor with LeBron. The only way I could see us be losers is if we miss out on Kyrie and keep Russ, then we are HUGE losers. But for right now I see us as incomplete.
Bruh why would we let our 2018 1st pick in Deandre Ayton leave for nothing, Myles Turner is a glorified roleplayer there is no guarantee we get KD, Chris Paul is gonna retire soon so DAyton could be the second option, and we all know we ain’t winning a chip only with Book
I believe the Bucks are not in the “winners list” but just to skip them like if they didn’t get the ring a year ago is for sure a pity. What do you think about the Bucks? Are the still competitors even if they didn’t make so many changes?
Is OKC still winners with Chet out for the season
Yea Chet flashing his jewelry was super goofy. Like what he think, all us at home who weren't born 10 feet tall n about to b getting paid millions from the age of 18 gonna b like "woah cool chain bro, I like u so much more now" ....🤨😒
What's your hair loss routine, my man?
That old pic looks NOTHING like you rn!
Please share with us
You called out Smith and Green when the pictures came out Green then smith first.
Dallas actually offered Brunson $106-m, $2-m more than the Knicks. Brunson still chose to play for the Knicks. Mavs lost Brunson for nothing, can't replace him cos they don't have the cap space, and they're considered winners for that move? At least they managed to acquire Christian Wood before they lost Brunson.
He's a diehard mavs fan.
Any thoughts on the bulls?
Is it possible for KD to not play games, or is it possible for KD to purposely perform bad to make the team angry, and heres the third option; what is going to happen if the team refuses to trade him
You answered your third question with your second question 😂
if you think the hawks loss the offseason id hate to know what you think of the wolves
Watch the vid bruh
We will be better than the Hawks for sure!
@@TineEdong debatable
i agree, but you have to wait, im hoping murray works out with trae, but if it doesn't trading away 3 picks hurts
@@hawksgoated3613 I don't see how the Hawks make it into the playoffs
AND player development. You can improve with that as well.
Yay new vid
Rudy Gobert didn’t get full supermax, he was eligible for 205 million but signed for 200
Nuggets had a low key great off season
where is the discord server link?
Well done video Casey. Nice t-shirt. Go Dubs! Spurs - are super-tanking for the top pick in the draft. Pops is a tanker. I'm old enough to remember David Robinson, Tim Duncan, and now this kid next season - they hope and pray to get. I'll pick the Spurs to have the worst regular season record. And agreed the GM of the Hawks - is in desperation mode.
I think it's the best for the Spurs, I mean they got enough from that DJM trade.
The only thing they could argue is for the Charlotte Hornets' first pick to be unprotected, now with the crap the Hornets are getting through, I doubt they will be on the top, which means good-bye first-round pick.
I feel like the Spurs should already be tanking after Kawhi left the team, but they keep going and become that kind of team at the top of the button, just take a look at the Rockets and the Thunder right now, they used to be top dogs with the Spurs, but they decided to start tanking a lot earlier, and got some really good picks and high potential players.
Getting Wembanyama or not, the Spurs did a really great job with the picks this year, Sochan is already a great all-around defender, he got the potential to be a better Draymond IMO. Don't forget Branham, he was predicted to be in the top 10
for a while , but we stole him with a 20#. He showed great potential in his scoring abilities in the SL , a potential all-star two-way guard. He already got a better shooting form than the rest of the Spurs' backcourt.
I would say they will be complete after getting a use-able PG, currently, they suck in that category. Tre Jones is only first bench worthy, don't have much hope in
Primo, also both of them can't hit a 3-pointer, they picked too many score guards beforehand.
@@Leo-nc3yx Well stated Leo. My cousin is a Spurs diehard fan. As a Warriors fan from the 70’s, I’ve come into conflict with my cousin’s takes on his Spurs over the years. On Popovich. On tanking. And small ball. And on dirty play. I’m old enough to have seen Pops as an assistant on the Warriors bench under Coach Don Nelson. Lol!
I’ll keep an eye on Brahman - he sounds promising. The Spurs do great at the end of drafts. Only they’ll need to draft a Tim Duncan or David Robinson at the top of the draft - to make them contenders. Now that there’s a game changing center coming up, there might be a rewarding reason to tank.
Warriors, Celtics, Mavericks have had the best imo
Warriors can sit back and sign like two to three rotation players and their offseason is more than complete.
Not the Warriors but everyone else I agree
