Duncan retires.

Now that was truly an exceptional career.

Draymond cost his team a chance at another title and now gets arrested 1 month into the offseason? Dude has serious issues.

Draymond Green is a douche and loose cannon. Not surprised.

Bad culture in GSW.
Let's send a Colangelo to fix it.

If you ask me, Timmy will go down as the most underrated player in the history of the game.

Disagree. I think people rate him about where he should be. He's a top 10 player and if you ask anyone how good Duncan is they usually say he's top 10 and maybe the best player in his generation. Most people say he's better than Kobe and is the greatest PF ever. So I think he's rated about where he is and that is top 10. That's great respect.

I guess I was wrong to use underrated. I more so meant under-appreciated. Never got the media/fan attention that Kobe/Shaq/Iverson/LeBron did. Just was a humble winner who went about his job without needing any praise. Definitely the greatest PF of all-time.

This is amazing, since the Spurs drafted TD they have only had one losing streak o 5+ games in the span of his entire NBA career.

I remember reading last year they had only 1 month with a losing record since he played. The impact of a great 2 way big. Can turn you into a 40+ win team right away.

Has anyone watched the Sacramento sl team? Their first pick is a major stiff. Too slow and not overly skilled outside the lane. WCS and Papagiannis in back to back drafts is horrible!! In the age of information overload, Sacramento is looking at still photos and at box scores.

A. Gudaitis is 2-2 shooting tonight. And we gave him away for Jason Thompson!

Jrue Holiday is an UFA next year and his lack of durability probably makes him available relatively cheaply on the open market.

Depending on what we do in next year's draft, I think he could be a viable short-term acquisition with a potential high return.

Cannan 2 year 2.2 mil deal with Bulls. I'm honestly a little surprised he actually got a guaranteed deal. Thought he would have had to taken the Ish Smith route from last year.

I'd totally be open to a reunion with Jrue.

His March 2016 numbers (13 games)

21.2 PPG, 6.7 APG, 3.3 RPG, 2.5 SPG, 1.8 BPG, 42.7 FG%, 93.5 FT%

Obviously injuries are a concern, but he had some really nice games towards the end of the year. 38 and 34 points in two games.
