Which players deserved investigation for the San Antonio Spurs problems in 2018-19?

Jul 18, 2018

Jul 18, 2018 — R.C. Buford

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Jakob Poeltl. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

SAS on 2018-07-18: the listed basketball needs were shooting, passing, creation. 1 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 0 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
