He;s an ok PF pretending to be a Center. If he plays the 5 he has no size or length so he can;t rim protect. He has some offensive game and can grab rebounds but today;s nba they like to play a PG, 3 3 point shooting wings and a rim protecting C.
Precious should have played during the 90s he would have made a lot more money.
Hes not pretending to be a center. He was played out of position. Hes a PF and his best minutes were played at that position next to Hartenstein.

At this point because of his lack of shooting/perimeter game he more or less is a really undersized 5 man on offense. As a defender he has more versatility. If the guy could ever figure out how to be more of a threat on corner 3's he'd get signed, but I think he's a minimum guy right now. But at 26, with his defense and rebounding, he should absolutely be on a roster.

They are stacked. They will be fine. Give Reed Shepherd the ball and see how it goes until January when they can make a move. Kid might be better than FVV to begin with.
No doubt they are legit contenders and were counting on FVV.

Brandon Rahbar: Sam Presti doesn't see the point in comparing players from different eras: "If you took Oscar Robertson and gave him a personal trainer at 12, think of how good that guy would be. If Bill Russell had access to the shoes we have today..."

Get that Luka is a world class NBA level talent but he plays near zero on one end of the court. So for half the game he is useless and everyone else has to make up for his deficiencies. IMO he is on a completely different level as someone like Brunson who does put in effort and does things within his athletic talents, like taking charges.
"Top players" means something else to me.

Maybe I'm being a homer but I'm taking Brunson over KD, LeBum, Curry, Edwards and Luka and maybe Giannis too. The only 3 guys who imo are flat out better are Jokic, SGA and Wemby (in the future).
Nalod@ 9/29/2025 10:40 AM
NO issues with that list and it will change based on injuries. If Lebron is 100% he is still that good. Wemby is about potential and Durant if still in prime has it. I take the list as it ranking the "here and now" and for preseason. Sure Durant and Lebron are not in my wheelhouse to trade for or pay top dollar if they were FA.
End of the day it was JB that lead knicks to Final foul last season with many on the list not there! Nothong wrong with being a homer! He was gifted to us from the heavens!
Short of it, Jules gets shoulder hurt, sits, gets depressed. Jalen emerges and leads team to Conf. semi's. No extension talks. Jules lives in the city. (not sure why he did not live in westchester). Jules figures he not in long range plans. Self medicates with weed. Kayden in school. Jules gets traded. Was suprised. smokes weed. Wife says "Snap out of it", hires a weird docter who get him off weed. They home school Kayden as they figure he will get traded. He does not. Jules likes trees, suburbs. Shakes off rust and happy in Minny. NO big money out there so he takes 3 yrs, 100mil. They hold lack of playoff success against him. He understands. He likes minny. Stays. Kayden is QB of youth flag league. He is a big kid. He is happy in new school. Jules is happy again. They have a daughter. Its all good again. For now. Nalod likes Jules and wishes him well. He did really well for Knicks and himself in NY. He donated 1.2 mil to some NY thing and had a nice ceremony for it. Two days later gets traded. Its not an easy business. Not everyone is cut out for the NBA let alone NY. Jalen and Kat come in more mature. Jules I thought other than the "thumbs down" handled most things well. If team was more successful he'd have been fine. Jalen and Kat are doing well and its been upward since they both came. He had no bad things to say about NY or knicks. My take? Jules has a baby and it all turns to shit for a few months.

Does seem like the Spurs about 3 years away from being a dynasty.

Don’t understand why Morey keeps getting hired. Or isn’t fired
