good
I've always had 2 predictions since the 3 peat Laker teams and that is 1) After Dr. Buss dies the Lakers will be for at least 15 years and 2) Once Duncan retires Pop will eventually follow and the Spurs franchise will just be a gate keeper team for years to come. The core is still good but not great imho.
What are Spur fans thinking about their future in all honesty?
The Spurs will have a slight window to ring when Lebron declines and Kawhi reaches his peak. However, I really do think that the next 3-5 years will go to GSW.
We probably will be the Indiana Pacers of the second half of the 90s. Good, with a chance now and then to cause problems for the superteam. But after all we might not ring for several years, as beating Dubs will not leave us with anything for the Finals.
Still a Top 2-6 team most years at least until Pop says goodbye.
There are worse things than that!
As the team stands now maybe 2nd round or WCF is our ceiling for the foreseeable future. Don't see a ring unless we can make a big addition one of these offseasons or there is an injury to either the warriors or Lebron.
spurs future is brighter then lakers in the next 3-4years
So is Syria's.
the tired old bag Duncan: 2nd 5th
, that was good , but don't like you know anything about Syria tbh.
kawhi is great LMA showed he's a no show, I have no idea how much defense they'll lose with Duncan gone but it will probably be too much. They would need everything to fall into their lap ala golden state in 2015 to win again though.
Hard not to be optimistic for the most successful sports franchise of the past 20 years, but they might get stuck in draft position purgatory being good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to win it all
Not the highest standards tbh
Cavs and Dubs both have 3-5 year windows. Why be a great team right now?
Alejandro w/typical Lakerfan logic ^
if Stern doesn't stack the odds in our favor, we don't wanna play
Honestly, I see 2 likely outcomes: 1. eternal mediocrity. Aldridge is good, but no Timmay. Manu holds them back. TP ages ungracefully with the current rules, KL is really the only bright star, and the Spurs will make the 2nd round each year. Not bad enough to get a good draft pick, not good enough to attract top tier FAs.
2. Aldridge and KL step up to true 2 way star status. They jel now that TD isnt holding the development back. TP takes his diminished role gracefully. Manu stays healthy. Spurs contend for Western Conference championships, but only have 1 le caliber run 2 years from now.
You playing checkers again. By the time their windows close, our kids will be taking off their training wheels.
forgot to ask, did Mitch checkmate the league with the Mozgov move?
Cavs have at most another two years. People are underestimating Lebron's mileage; it's gonna hit hit eventually and when it does it'll hit hard.
The Signing
Not sure, tbh... I feel if we're going to ring again, gotta be soonerish... otherwise, we might end up being the Seattle Spurs, tbh...
For sure. If you noticed, the lakers are signing all these players with injury history. They got cap space they have to spend, but there is no one to spend it on because they suck so bad, so what they did was to get players who often get injured, give them a high salary, wait for them to get injured, and voila, insurance to the rescue!
Simply brilliant.
depends on next summer imo. if Durant had stayed in OKC or went to Boston I would like our chances as much as anyone's in 2017
Stand up on your own two in' feet and act like somebody. Just because Media says something doesn't mean .
You think that pock marked bas is s tin' up the street wringin' his hands like his base? I wish.
He is. That's why there's all these articles about how he feels bad about others feeling bad.
But you're right- stand up, you pussies! Be a ing mensch! Not a ing wench!
