Espoiral 478 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Was a beast last season adding a 3 to his game. Age 35 season - will the Spurs shutdown finally happen? Will he get traded? Will he get rested throughout the season. He looks like such tempting value in the 4th/5th rounds and a lock to beat his ADP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

apatas 436 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 4th round this season is defintely risky. In my opinion he is not anymore TOP50 player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikhov 574 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 He started launching from 3 during the 2nd half of last season - if this trend continues then he’ll be a steal relative to where you can grab him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

summersoff7 1,104 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 How much more tread is left on those tires. I took him last year and he turned out to be pretty good...but Im not chancing it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Espoiral 478 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Something tells me his age concerns aren't going to be a factor this season as the Spurs challenge for a playoff spot and he buys into shooting 3s.. this would only help to extend his longevity in this league a la Brook Lopez etc. If he can put up BroLo-esque stats with slightly lesser blocks and more scoring/rebounds, that's fantasy gold and top-30 once again this year. Easy 4th/5th round pick. Edited December 13, 2020 by Espoiral 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easy 4th/5th round pick. Agreed. I think he has another high-level season in him. He's shown no signs of falling off and has a long history of being a premier big man. Grabbed him in the 5th round in one of my drafts, looking forward to see what he does 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CharlesCC2 820 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yeah feeling like this might be my one regret of my 14 team draft last week. Not sure how much I like the expanded three point shooting. It's going to kill his FG% and rebounding. And if the team ends up being horrible who knows how he's looking later in the season. Just meh all around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He will be fine. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s on a expiring deal and Spurs will embrace the youth movement and deal him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do have to say that I'm more of fantasy football guy and trades damn near never work out same season, but basketball seems to be a completely different beast in that regard. Basketball is still basketball most anywhere you go and you aren't relying on ten other moving parts and learning an extremely complex playbook (in comparison to a basketball playbook, or so I'd assume).

Being 35 and coming off shoulder surgery scared folks. I took him too and he’ll be fine. The best player in pre season, THT probably won’t even be a rotation player so these games mean nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreams And Dwightmares 3,229 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If you play in leagues that only care about per game averages then draft with confidence. But if it's about beating your opponents output weekly, he's gonna be a headache. His game is awesome, had him last year, but this year I said I wouldn't even consider until 6th and he was gone long before I needed to make a decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then out of curiosity, how many players are there that you are avoiding because they might miss some games? Sure it would be perfect to draft him in 6th, but how realistic is that in semi-serious league? Lowry and Paul are in similar situations and all of the analysts are super high on them. Makes 0 sense to me. By that logic people shouldn't draft Kawhi, Durant, Irving, Curry before 3rd round. Sure don't draft Aldridge in 3rd, if you wanna play it safe, I could also accept waiting until 5th, but until 6th is just ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I drafted him in the 4th last year and regretted it, I had to overcome his rest days, his ghost games, and his vanishing down the stretch when I needed him the most. This team looks to have a similar or potentially worse record and this guy is a year older coming off a shoulder surgery. But you've already made up your mind, so ultimately, do you, I won't lose any sleep when your venting in this thread in 4 months. And you're not curious, so I'm not gonna answer your question.

AomineDaiki05 115 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I did not expect to see a troll with over 5000 posts. Kawhi and Aldridge is as fair a comparison as one can make it. Aldridge is a top 30 player, there is a chance that he will miss games, so you shouldn't even consider him before the 72nd pick. Kawhi is a top 6-7 player who will miss at least 12 games, and with your logic, we should not draft him before pick 30. Sure there is a chance that Aldridge will get hurt and that he will miss games, that's why you should draft him round or two after, and if you draft him in the 4th or 5th round you should be delighted. You are getting him for a discount. It's a calculated risk. You aren't gonna answer my question because you came here just to troll. There are a lot of players this year with an increased risk of injury, surely you cannot give every player 40 spots, just so you can avoid a headache. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo_87 462 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 So kinda effed up and picked up LMA in the 4th when Wood was available. Can someone make me feel better about my decision? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
