    Man, I think Victor might be a top 5 player right now in the league.

    Jokic
    Giannis
    Luka
    Shai
    Victor

    This dude is just unstoppable out there. If the Spurs were smart, they would start and try to compete by next year... they are missing another elite All-Star talent. If they get a guy like Giannis, it's a wrap...

    i think they're already trying to compete, tbh. the kornet and olynyk signings were win-now, imo. they'll see which of vassell/castle/harper is the real keeper and move the other two for the last piece, imo. that could happen as soon as this year (do they want markkanen?).

    Yeah, they started when they traded for Fox. They could have pushed it off further and tried for a different star, but Fox was available, they saw Wemby's improvement, and said Let's Go.

    I don't know how anyone is gonna shoot over him. Even AD looks like a guard next to him. Bigs are gonna have to play like Shaq or their f***ed.

    Gonna have to play 5 out against him and not let him into the paint. On the other end, try to make him shoot 3's at a low percentage.

    Meh..Vucevic is the same age as Jimmy Butler and younger than Steph Curry. He's a stretch 5, that has avg 30+ min a game, and a double double for the last 10 seasons. He makes plenty of sense for our roster at that price, I don't know wtf you are talking about.

    I always thought they would try to pry Giannis away...but feels like currently, they're going with the OKC approach with cost controlled players and some veterans.

    If he's not already, he's the best player in the league by the end of the year. This is absurd.
