Pop and RC have completely lost the plot. It's only going to get worst next summer with Kawhi having an aging roster and everyone else got better out west while the Spurs continue to get worse.
Might be time for RC to hang to hang it up. Worst offseason imaginable.
I don't see how everyone else out West got better.
OKC shot their wad on two creaky statues (at least one of whom will likely leave soon in any event).
Houston got an aging point guard -- I've noticed that Spurs fans don't seem to love such guys (at least when they're on our side).
The Spurs may have problems, but I don't see how the other Western teams are getting better over the long haul.
Just wait until we have a 40 Million/year back court once Danny and Tony expire after this season.
The LMA contract isn't bad all things considered. Agree on the rest though.
Aldridge is not soft at all and does fine when he isn't asked to post up from the 3pt line
Got 'em.
Agreed. The only team in the West that got appreciably better is the Wolves, and if you're scared of them then you're scared of everyone. Personally I don't think Carmelo right now is much better than Gay and OC's roster 4-15 is easily worse than the Spurs. The Rockets increased their ceiling this offseason but lowered their floor if Paul and Harden really can't share the ball enough.
Quick, name the dominant bigs in the nba... we will be waiting
we have Costello, everything will be fine.
I sometimes think people forget where we were last season...
Yeah, 34 and 12 to close out a rival on the road in game 6 (without Kawhi and Parker) is soft.
Jason Garrett of Arriosti Sports Therapy shared an interesting story regarding Aldridge on Mike Taylor's radio show. He said Tim and Lamarcus were working out together (doing one on one drills) and Lamarcus was exhausted. LA stopped playing and said something like "Man, I don't know how you do it". Tim said, "If you want to be playing when you're 39, you gotta work. Let's go." LaMarcus said "Nah, I'm done" and walked off the court.
Big time shout out to LMA! Don't suc b to peer pressure. Be your own man!
If OP starts a game thread it will be 40 million a year for two injured bigs.
Kawhi wouldn’t have acted like a got

Lma will continue to be judged on his last playoff performance against gsw.
That's exactly why it's re ed to throw crazy money at them. In today's NBA you have to get (cheap) defensive minded bigmen (ala Tristan Thompson, Clint Capela, Gobert, etc. We had Dedmon), and spend the big money on guards and wings.
Calling Thompson and Gobert cheap is a stretch. And Capela will likely be on that list next year.
Are any of Tristan, Capella or Gobert cheap anymore? No.That's exactly why it's re ed to throw crazy money at them. In today's NBA you have to get (cheap) defensive minded bigmen (ala Tristan Thompson, Clint Capela, Gobert, etc. We had Dedmon
PATFO has done a crappy job developing bigs and wasted picks in Europe.
Don't compare Dedmon to those guys. Not even close, and unlike the rest he wasn't drafted by Spurs so limited ability to retain him cheap after year 1.
I don't know Gobbert. But, without looking, I pretty much doubt TT and Capela are making LA kind of money.
And regarding Dedmom, I would much rather have him on the roster at his cost, than LA or Gasol at theirs.
When I said "cheap", I meant "not Aldridge money". Not all-star money. There aren't many bigmen, if any, deserving all-star/superstar money. They just aren't that valuable anymore.
Gobert is making more than LMA on their extensions.
Right, that one pic is worth way more than a series win.
