    People are really overthinking this basketball thing.

    People also said the Warriors gave up too much for Durant and that there was not enough shots to go around between them.

    Even if they never trully learn how to play together and just take turns running the pick and roll, the Rockets would still be miles better than they were and leapfrog the Spurs as the second best team in the West.

    They were saying not only did they give up too much but Durant had overlapping skills so they wouldn't be as useful.

    Also what's the measure of this not working? Not beating GSW? That's still not expected.

    Spurstalk takes. Great for news...not so much player and team analysis.

    Pretty much.

    Oh well. Time to look forward to next season with TP, disgruntled LaSoftus, "FreSh oUt da cluuub" Green, Pau "I airball layups" Gasoft, Bryn "he doesn't miss in practice" Forbes, Fathead and Fathead Jr.

    No, CP3 is happy with the switch because he don't have to take a paycut. This deal works in his favor as a player. Pretty sure if he wanted to be a Spur they would have worked something out, clearly the Rockets were more aggressive than the Spurs.

    Nothing shows your ambition towards winning to Kawhi like bringing the gang back and adding Fathead Jr. At this rate, the Spurs are going to be lucky to get a meeting with Kawhi when he becomes a free agent.

    The difference being that Durant,Curry,and Thompson are all elite off ball players and shooters playing in a motion offense. What makes Paul and particularly Harden special is their facilitating and scoring off the dribble, outside of that their ability to impact games is extremely limited for superstar players at least. There's a reason Harden didn't start next to Westbrook in OKC.

    Spurs say the goal is to win les every year, but it really doesn't look like it this season.

    Never wanted him, as I've been saying for months..too old and his style of play helps role players but hurts other stars..can't even imagine how 2 of the 3 most ball-dominant players in the league will fit together..
    So then is it safe to say you've deleted all your posts in other threads saying the spurs should do whatever they can to land him because he's a superstar?

    HarlemHeat37 has never fully been on the CP3 train, tbh. At least not in the posts I have read from him.

    Maybe Kawhi's the one that needs to finally show some ambition. If Kawhi wants players to come to SA, he's going to have to do the unthinkable, make a friend.

    He played the same card he did with LMA. on him incessantly but with the caveat that the spurs should do whatever they can to bring them in because they're stars.

    Not happening. Starter for 2years at 6mil per year. Boston is not willing to trade Crowder, because of lowball deal he has.

    Except Kawhi has never complained about any of that.

    what do you want kawhi to say?

    "hey come to the spurs. to make space for you we'll have to trade a disgruntled player (la) or a player who sacrificed money to stay on the team (danny). but we will NOT trade old, busted ass tony parker for you."

    From Paul's perspective I really don't get this move

    If he wanted to win, choosing SA would have been a better choice.

    If he wants money, then he chose the wrong team. Les and Morey are two of the cheapest gots in the NBA. CP3 and his agent truly believe that Morey and Les will give him a 200m contract at the age of 33 next season? LOL

    Stupid move by Paul and his agent. And quite honestly, he is not even a good fit with Harden.
