Exactly! FVV is maybe the best guard we could have for NOW. 32 year old FVV would be a great player to have on a contending team, but not as your starting pg. But you never know, I am open minded. He could still be a good fit, but I see it unlikely with age, lack of consistent scoring and the finances.
It is just not unimaginable to me to have him start more than 2 years at 6'0 and his below average finishing abilities at the rim....... The NBA is all about size.......the CP3s and Iversons are really rarities. Iverson did not age that well, CP3 also became more of a bench general.....
I'm just thankful we have one of those guys. Because we see what happens to teams that don't. FVV type of guys don't grow on trees, if they did; other teams would have snatched them and fast tracked their rebuild.
He is capped at 21 ppg and I think he knows that unless there is a dumb team that lets him chuck all he wants. But kudos to him that he realizes he can help a younger team more than putting up useless stats. Being rewarded handsomely for it.
This is CP3’s first year as a bench player. He is 38 years old. I don’t think this is a good example.
FVV will age gracefully like CP3 did. He has solid fundamentals and plays to his strength. He'll still be a solid player in 32 no doubt on my mind.
The example was not him being a bench player but rather he declined in production very slowly but surely, him being the best point guard of his generation kept his minutes higher than expected. Think outside the box.....but I give you that Fred does not seem to get injured.
They should be quick. FVV is paid around half a million per game and Dillon getting quarter million. Alp and Tari gets around 8 % of FVV'S salary.
If any of you use Reddit, you should visit the Spurs subreddit. They can't stop talking about Şengün. Like in every post game thread. They are heavily traumatized because they picked a perv instead of Alpi. Also very funny and telling that they still talk so much about Şengün altough they just drafted the generational unicorn.
Fred is here to impart his wisdom to the young guys and steer the ship onto the right course. Whether we pick up his team option will largely depend on Amen Thompson's level of play up to that point, but I seriously doubt we'll bring him back after that unless it's at a significantly lower cost to specifically come off the bench. But usually when a guy accepts a reduced role like that he does it with a new team.
Every human being, except some of the moron fanbase, knows that Alperen Sengun is a future all star, if 2021 draft redrafted he was #1 or #2.. lt is normal that from Spurs to Thunder, every team is jealous of Rockets having Sengun Every 30 team in NBA would like to have Sengun in their team, Who does not? Jokic, Embiid, Sengun are the best centers right now, all others are not in these 3 tier in terms of affecting the game..and it is really frightening is that one of these 3 is only 21 years old... sky is limit for Alpi
Kawhi Leonard has not been a Spur for six years, and I'm still traumatized that the Rockets passed on him for Marcus Morris, who only played in 17 fewer games for the Rockets than Josh Primo did for the Spurs. And what makes the Morris/Leonard situation even worse is that Morris immediately became a good-to-great rotation player right after the Rockets dumped him. Hard to get over imagining a 24-year old Harden, a 22-year old Finals MVP Leonard, a 28-year old healthy Dwight Howard as your core in 2014, and thinking that a deep run there might have actually allowed them to seriously attract Bosh over the next summer (and to tell Parsons/Dan Fegan to shove it when it came to letting him opt out and sign the max offer sheet with the Mavs).
