I will have to finally concede how vastly overrated they have been for quite some time by the media and in some executive circles.
They are still running an obsolete, risk-averse operation -- drunk on players loyalty and the primacy of the cultural fit-- in a cutthroat professional league that has broken into the equivalent of an arms race.
When you hear the coach of team in the exit interview talking about the level of players' versatility needed to beat a team like Golden State only to proceed and give 50 millions to a one trick pony midget—a career 6 ppg in the playoffs who has gotten continuously decimated by the very same Dubs team for the past few years— you know the jig is up in San Antonio..
It is very much looking like Leonard prime is going to be wasted here..Between the extreme end-of-game luck they were beneficiaries of last year and the improvement of the West this offseason, even their precious "60-wins"--fools gold really-- won't be attainable..
As of tonight, this team fails at the most basic equation forming a typical le contender (or even a team a rung below it): talent deficit..

I smell an epic 2011 like collapse against one of these up and coming teams incoming if the FO doesn't get their together and get Kawhi help. Either that or he'll go down with a serious injury after carrying the team on his back for another year yet again.
This is the year PATFO surprises everyone by unleashing LJC on the league. Doubters beware!

If Kawhi is out a a couple of months with an injury, they might struggle to even sniff the playoffs..
Well this is troubling. Wonder how they are going to react when they hear you are officially done.
A lot of cry-baby -made pussies in this forum who don't understand that chemistry is important, the cap has gone up considerably, and the Spurs have never won championships by signing superstar FAs.
We had a ing Bugatti in Scott Layden 2 years ago, and we kept a ing Honda.
Same can be said about the pussies that blindly rag for PATFO and believe that corporate knowledge can beat the 5 ing superteams that just got formed
... is what Bob Myers and the Warriors front office did when they saw RC Buford hand this guy $50,000,000

These dudes got lucky with Leonard too but hopefully kawhi leaves.
lmao Chemistry is ing overrated. Look at all the teams forming out of nowhere that are already eager to play together and go at each other. I'm sure the same people talking about chemistry are the same people who thought chemistry and fit were going to be a problem when GS dumped half of their 73 win team to add Durant.
As if losing Fatty would've killed the entire team's chemistry anyway...Didn't know this team was so fragile. No wonder Kawhi is the only alpha.
Again, where the would we be if RC didn't luck out with Kawhi? His first choice was Valanciunas.Dude, Without TD this franchise reputation would be as good as the Charlotte Bobcats.

Cory Joseph over Butler. Valanciunas (if RC had it his way) over everyone else. Fathead over Jokic. Livio Jean-Charles, Marcus Williams over Marc Gasol, Ian Mahinmi.

You can make this for every nba team and for some of them that will be way worse than the Spurs....
How one make official?
Notary?
Still, I thought he was supposed a genius drafter. He's had only a couple of good picks in the last ten years. One he lucked out on.
Also, even I knew CJ over Butler at the time was dumb as . He would've been great running the wings with Kawhi...
Derrick White will be next on the list. So much talent available and he drafted a 23yr old 4th string PG.Cory Joseph over Butler. Valanciunas (if RC had it his way) over everyone else. Fathead over Jokic. Livio Jean-Charles, Marcus Williams over Marc Gasol, Ian Mahinmi.
Buford knows his slurpers will just say "It was a late first round pick. It was hit or miss that late"
Meanwhile, Utah made moves to take the guy the Spurs really wanted, the Warriors are giving chump change up for first round talent, and we end up with a guy who'll be redundant given that we were just going to re-sign Patty, bring Manu back, and wait for TP to return "better than ever" anyway.
