Kris Middleton acquisition makes the @spurs championship contenders this year at a low price. He already knows how to play w/a generational talent & he has championship pedigree to add for the playoff inexperienced team. #PorVida#NBA
@DevonBirdsong Any @spurs fan that does not have him in the top 5 players of all time and puts LeBron ahead of him does not truly understand his greatness. Post-TD Spurs success should tell you he was the primary reason for the organization's success. #PorVida
So @spurs develop players until they don't?! It can be true that Jeremy didn't develop himself enough while it can also be true that coaches & front office limited his development by intentionally tanking for 2-3 yrs of his time on the team. #PorVida#NBA
@UofBasketball@databallr Harper is the true measure of how far the @spurs will go, not Castle. Better team defender & better O game than Castle & Fox. Alley oop to Victor against the Lakers, only he could make that pass. #PorVida
@pointmadebball Hard to understand how PATFO couldn't keep him in the 12-15 spots. They've given Devin 6 yrs to be the same player he was when he started. Above avg shooter, below avg handles, disappears easily. He's better than Olynik, Bismack, Ingram. #PorVida
@Sam_Vecenie Great upside. Character player that did whatever the spurs asked them to do. He endured the tanking years & to get this treatment is disheartening. Hope he wins a championship soon. #PorVida#NBA
@ShamsCharania@spurs are releasing a very capable defender that has learned how to defend Victor & what makes him extremely uncomfortable. I'm a Spurs fan but I can't help but root for players that give 100% every time they play like Jeremy appears to do.
@HectorLedesmaTV@JMcDonald_SAEN The need to assuage Castle's feelings is obvious. It will handicap them while he's still with the team. I'm leaning towards no championships while he's with them.
@CollinReidPS How much responsibility do the @spurs bear for Jeremy's development or lack thereof, depending on who you ask? He was raised in their system. He's 22, always plays hard & is a consummate team player.
@tom_orsborn Great move by Mitch if Castle doesn't play. Sit Castle & try a new starting rotation w/o worrying about how Castle will react if he comes off the bench.
@HPbasketball Player development is a myth. Rookies have jumped ahead of @spurs system players like Vassell, Keldon, & Sochan that are still inconsistent & can seem as lost, at times, as the rookies.
@HPbasketball You have to have to look at Mitch & front office as weaknesses. The only home run in the last 4-5 years has been the signing of Kornet. Tanking & getting lucky w/lotto picks & having Fox want to play in SA in his prime weren't products of a savvy GM.
@CollinReidPS I agree. He is a better team defender & obv great O instincts (a few forces today). Alongside Victor, their P&R could be a thing of beauty. I love Fox, I view Castle as weaker version of Russ Westbrook & having DJ Murray arc w/@spurs.
