The more you see of him? He’s yet to play this year outside like 2 scrimmages

You’re not following them close enough if you think it would take “multiple multiple Keldon’s” for them to move on from Giddey.

They’re a team that’s going to get expensive quick with the inevitable Max deals of Chet and JDubb along side Shai. In that mix Giddey will also want a lucrative deal. They can’t pay all of them. It isn’t a matter of if Giddey will be moved it’s a matter of when. His production is already down from last season (and it’s not like he was the most efficient/effective to begin with), his minutes are slightly down, and Cason Wallace has come in and been more impactful than him to start the year.

Giddey is not as good or as valuable as you people think he is.

Johnson making the extra pass off the dribble this year is creating a lot of good shit

One of the few spurs games I’ve seen where they didn’t start the game by spamming Sochan/Collins PnR. Or station Collins in the paint/block for post ups.

They way to use Sochan in the half court is to leverage what he does as a connector, not try turning him into Steven Nash.

He’s in the 3rd percentile of effectiveness/ PPP out the pick and roll. He’s running pick and rolls and he’s really really really REALLY bad at it

???

Knowing how the basketball Gods work Zion is going to leave, and the pels are going to get the #1 pick next year to draft Cooper Flagg….a highly touted power forward prospect and continue the cycle

Are we talking about Johnson here or someone else? He’s been the 2nd best playmaker outside of Jones, and his straight line drives are probably the 3rd most effective form of offense on the squad. He, Vassell and Wemby have been put in a position where there are negative floor spacers next to them, multiple defensive liabilities, and no advantage creators to be found.

The only major problem with Johnson this year has been his decision making at times down the stretch. This team is a COMPLETE shit show construction wise (which is to be expected from young teams), and it’s foolish to single out Johnson as the player that needs to move for things to be changed, when there are significantly bigger problems to deal with.

-Doug McDermott and Malaki Branham are quite literally (not exaggerated) two of the worst defenders in the entire league.

-Sochan is a power forward who was already a severely unpolished offensive player, and is now handicapped even more by playing as a point guard. He’s lacked the ability to make both the simple and advanced reads needed to help an NBA offense.

-In addition to Sochan’s just inability to be a PG in the half court or transition, he and Tre Jones are absolute nightmares offensively in the PnR. Teams drop down and gap against these guys so much that Jones is in the 30th Percentile and Sochan is in the 3rd percentile as a “lead ball handler.”

LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN, JEREMY SOCHAN IS IN THE 3RD PERCENTILE AS A LEAD PNR BALL HANDLER IN THE MODERN NBA.

-I don’t want to diminish Zach Collins too much because he’s been great in the low post to start the season, and I believe in the shooting, but his impact on the game isn’t always consistent. Simply, he’s not a strong rebounder. He’s too advantageous with the ball; which has led him to being 2nd on the team in TOTAL TURNOVERS…He hasn’t been the greatest defensive anchor by any stretch, but that would improve with a personal change. Lastly, but most importantly his tendency to dig in the middle of the floor to float, incorrectly space the floor for drivers, and beg for post touches has killed some of the offensive freedom needed for others, specifically Keldon.

Lastly I just want to say this again because it’s insane to me, the starting point guard for the San Antonio spurs is in the 3rd percentile as a pick in roll ball handler.
