    Is it bad that I don’t even remember him playing with the Spurs? I kinda remember Pop and him but I must have blocked it out of my memory.

    No, it’s the proper thing to do with such traumatic things.

    Didn’t like it either. Doesn’t bother me as much as Pau.

    He looks pretty tall. How tall is he at 17-18 whatever he is?

    American White kid drafted #1?

    I’ll believe that when I see it.

    wasn’t he in the news recently for something one on one with an established NBA player and getting the better of them?

    He's got wide KG like shoulders: should help him absorb contact and still be strong despite the worry frame

    Listened to this one today. Wood's agents were pushing the Christian Wood's an all-star narrative to the media. That's hilarious. They're REALLY disillusioned with where their marquee client is at in his career. Even former one time all-star Jamaal Magloire can't believe that one...

    Lane had Buha on his pod today

    Buha thinks we're a few weeks away from a decision, but thinks Wood likes the potential situation in Miami better if they move Jovic in the Dame deal. East Coast and more minutes. MIA has had some levels of success with bigs who can shoot and rebound a bit but that don't defend. Love, Leonard, Olynyk.

    All that said...He did say if he were to place a bet on where Wood ends up, he still thinks it's ultimately LA.

    don't think i hated a player more than i hated malone prior to 03. that all changed in 03-04. he was willing to change his game to fit the triangle and basically do whatever it took for the team to have success. such a shame how badly the lakers medical staff handled his knee injury and yet, he was still out there in the playoffs successfully defending prime KG and duncan on one leg at age 40. even played a couple games in the finals before he just couldn't do it anymore

    ironically, miami is the place whiteside was able to have his best years. they're pretty much the new spurs in terms of guys looking good there and bad as soon as they leave (i actually have questions about how bam would look elsewhere, tbh).

    this is why i'm a little worried about vincent. nunn's already out of the league after looking similarly good in miami before leaving.

    Or maybe it’s the discipline/structure/accountability they needed and received. Maybe s player goes there and gets more out of his talent than in a less structured environment.

    They also have very good scouts and similar to us, find these guys late in the draft, undrafted guys . I don't think we have a large enough sample of whether those guys are system based or just good. We'll get a better idea this year with Vincent and with Strus in Cleveland (he bounced around a bit until they signed him, but also undrafted). The perk with these guys is they're typically hungry and play with a chip. Hoping that's more the case with Vincent.
