Where will your franchise be in the next ten years?

[King Nupe]

I see a lot of Faggot spurs fans always hating on the lakers, when the score is clearly 16-4 and 5-4. But even if we started at Zero. Where will you guys be in the next ten years? What can you hope to do? I would surmise, that the Spurs have the biggest bandwagon outside of the Heat. Think about it. Who were spurs fans before Duncan got here? People call Pop a genius but he wasn't that when they were sucking in the 90's without Duncan. Probably a few in san antonio, but really. What have yall done outside of the Duncan Era, and what can you expect to do when its over? Nobody wants to play in San Antonio. You don't go over the cap, so what are you going to do? Watch how the Spurs fans drop off the planet once Duncan is gone.


The Lakers, will always be perinneal players. We already have a Franchise Center who's Led a team to the finals. We have that for the next 8 years. 2014, We'll be able to Sign Melo or KLove. What will you do then? Waiting for Kahwi Leonard to make an allstar team?:lol

[King Nupe]

I know the GIF's of Duncan laughing at howard are coming, but you know that you would love to have him going forward to play alongside duncan.

[DMC]

Chip could actually improve Howard's FT shooting. He'd be dangerous then. In LA, he's just a scapegoat for the adopted bastard rapist.

[Namundy]

They weren't calling Pop a genius because he wasn't the coach.

[Raven]

the funny thing is that if you sign love, melo and howard, you still wouldn't win shit :lmao

[Brunodf]

5-8 seed at best(just like the Lakers without Shaq/Gasol past of his prime)

[Trainwreck2100]

What kind of Laker fan are you that you want them to sign Howard? He ain't worth the max money. He's done jack shit to improve his game since he went to the Finals.

[spurraider21]

In 10 years Kobe will still be chucking 28 shots a game and refusing to hand over the reigns

Those are talking points with an agenda. Howard when healthy is absolutely dominant.

Who coaches him?

[xellos88330]

Same place the Spurs usually are. If you are going to use history in your arguments, perhaps you should actually look up the Spurs history. They have made the playoffs every year since they joined the NBA with the exception of 4 years (84, 87, 89, 97). I expect more of the same. It looks like someone needs to learn how to troll. :toast

[TrainOfThought5]

How many stars are in the sky??

[urunobili]

2 more banners raised and 21,9 and 20 in the rafters tbh

Meaningless playoff appearances with no success. We guess the lakers will win another championship before you do

[vander]

LOL this is sad, like Yankee fan jeering at Giants or Marlins fan: "Oh yeah? well my team will continue to spend millions and millions more than your team so suck it!"

[100%duncan]

Reaaaaaaaaching :lol

:cry I'll just use future smack talk :cry
:cry our franchise can just sign future superstars while theirs cant :cry
:cry we suck right now so this is my retort :cry

:lmao

[DAF86]

Probably in San Antonio.

[MarioSpeedwagon]

Buss is a goofy looking motherfucker. One of those cases where you can just tell someone if dumb as fuck just by looking at him.

[Budkin]

Probably in San Antonio.

Yes.

It's a Tuesday like any other. Then, in the afternoon, there's a knock at the door. The dog starts barking and wakes our 12-week-old baby, Sam. My partner, Keiron, looks out of the upstairs window to see two women at the front door. We assume they are Jehovah's Witnesses and Keiron leans out, saying he can't come down. Then everything changes.
The women are police. They work in child protection (http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/childprotection) services. Keiron, Sam and I go downstairs to find out what's going on. They tell us to sit down and ask Keiron if he knows why they are here. He says no. Then they tell us an allegation about a sex offence made by a child at the nursery where he works.
My stomach turns to concrete. I have no shadow of doubt that this is a horrible mistake. I hold Sam in disbelief, calculating all the ways this is going to mess up our lives.
They take our computer away. I'm self-employed, so even though Sam is very young I am still working. I watch my livelihood vanish through the door and ask the police: "Are there any guarantees that it will come back unharmed?" No, they say, adding that it will be a minimum of four to six weeks until it is returned – assuming that it is clean of pornographic images of children (http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/children). We're told that paedophiles look at on-screen images of children before moving on to the real thing, so the computer will indicate Keiron's guilt or otherwise.
Keiron is arrested and taken to the police station but released on bail on condition that he does not spend time unsupervised with anyone under the age of 18. This includes our child.
I cannot believe that this can happen. We are a sleepless couple with a baby, already struggling with all the things a new family (http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/family) faces.
My freedom is suddenly curtailed, too, because I will now have to care for our son 24/7. So neither of us can work.
Keiron is currently working out his notice at the nursery – he has resigned to become a nanny. He's just about to start the new job – we will have to tell them what he's been accused of and that he cannot be alone with a child.
In a final blow, we discover that this allegation will never be wiped from Keiron's record. From here on, if he is ever stopped at the side of the road by the police, they will know that he has been accused of one of the darkest crimes.
The following weeks
We discuss who to tell. On one hand, Keiron has absolutely nothing to hide. On the other, there are the cliches of "no smoke without fire" and "mud sticks". At least we know that old friends and family will know the truth. In the outside world, the Jimmy Savile scandal is unfolding. I hear experts explaining that paedophiles seek out jobs that allow them to get close to children. They say nothing about kind, loving men who adore bringing out the best in children.
Four weeks later
We get a call from the police saying both our computers have come back clean. We are delighted – the police originally implied that clean computers would mean an end to the whole business.
Next morning, there's a knock at the door. I'm feeding the baby so Keiron goes to answer. The arresting officer hands over our computers wrapped in plastic. When we unwrap mine, we see that the screen has been broken.
I am beside myself. This is a £2,000 computer, the one I do all my work on and the most valuable thing we own. We have almost no income at the moment. And we haven't done anything wrong. Seeing how angry I am with him for not checking the computer, Keiron breaks down for the first time throughout this whole ordeal. I feel terrible.
Next day, the arresting officer calls to apologise and says the police will pay for repairs. We now have a further 21 days to wait until Keiron's bail to return to the police station. That's another three weeks during which he is not allowed to spend time unsupervised with Sam, our now four-month-old son.
Another three weeks during which he cannot do his job, nor I mine.
Three weeks before Christmas
The end is in sight and we can almost touch it. From next week we can start to reconfigure our lives. Then, a phone call. Keiron is told that his bail is being extended a further three months to give them more time to gather evidence. It is Day One all over again, and I am devastated. Sam, now four and half months old, will have lived half his life without being allowed to be alone with his dad.
Our solicitor says we can request a change in bail conditions so that Keiron can be unsupervised with our child. With relief, we manage this just in time for Christmas.
Christmas
We get through Christmas and our family are wonderfully supportive. Keiron is subdued and I suspect it's because he worries about what they are all thinking. My brother and two young nephews come and stay. I love watching them play with Keiron as they get on like a house on fire, but I have to keep reminding myself that this lovely scene is somehow wrong and that they can't be left alone in a room together.
January
On Saturday at 9am, Keiron gets a phone call. I am out with Sam and receive a text. The police have called to say they have no evidence, so the case is dropped.
I thought I would feel relieved when this news came through. This was to be our happy ending. Instead, my overwhelming response is anger. No evidence? Why have our lives been put on hold for three months for no evidence? Why have our son's first few months of life been so horribly tainted for no evidence? Why has Keiron had to quit his new job for no evidence?
We go for dinner to "celebrate". Keiron is morose and says it doesn't make any difference to him. Next week, he could just as easily be accused of murder.
On the news it says that children's charities want to make it easier for allegations to be heard. Of course, I understand why, but I also fear that more innocent families could be hurt because of a string of celebrity paedophile accusations. I hope balance is found.
Two weeks later
Keiron comes home in tears. He has been sober for seven years, now he says he has an overwhelming urge to go out and get hammered. He feels ashamed, hopeless, angry and unsafe. All the emotions that had been suppressed while he was under suspicion are coming to the surface. He has been out running a lot, but it's not enough. He feels too vulnerable to go back to childcare. Who would hire a male nanny with suspected child abuse on his record? While he establishes a new career, our savings are dwindling fast. Because of a wrong accusation, our lives can never be the same ever again. Our happy ending still feels a long way away.

Who knows, I cannot see the future. I can say this, the Lakers fans continue to shit on the Spurs, and that is fine with me. You guys, along with the Celtics are the two most storied franchises in NBA history. However, the Spurs are the 3rd best franchise in NBA history (yes Chicago has 6 titles, but aside from the 90s, their franchise has been mediocre for the most part).....not bad for a small market team from poor, ole San Antonio. We don't have the large media market like LA and Boston. We don't have near the money that LA and Boston does. I love the city of San Antonio, however, it isn't the most attractive city for NBA players.....definitely not as attractive as LA or Boston. With that being said, we have the 2nd best winning % all-time, only behind the Lakers. We have the 4 NBA titles. We have made the playoffs in all but 4 years of our existence, with only 6 losing seasons. So you Lakers fans can bash us all you want, I really don't care, and most other Spurs fans don't either.

GO SPURS GO

[Arcadian]

:lmao Needing to look 10 years into the future to take solace in how shitful your franchise currently is.

If the Lakers are gonna be so good in 10 years...then talk to us in 10 years, faggot! Right now, your team is shit, and the Spurs are superior.

To the extent that what you said is true, it's nothing to be proud of. What you're basically saying is that the Lakers don't have to actually work hard to accomplish anything - they just get handed the best players arbitrarily, and they have the most money to spend. If those are your main reasons for success, that's quite shameful in my opinion.

As for wanting Howard on the Spurs? Absolutely not. Howard's game is one-dimensional, and he's an awful teammate. There are at least 5 centers I'd take right now over that bitch.

...And he's on your team. :lol Sucks to be you.

/shit taken on this thread

[KaiRMD1]

The fact that the Spurs are consistently at the big dance while they have seen SO MANY teams become good then falter over the course of their history is crazy. Spurs will be fine in ten years tbh other teams will have their success and failures. OKC probably won't hang a championship banner but hey, there's always conference and division championships, no?

[ElNono]

rememba det time in 2011 when history2bs said the Spurs would be lottery bound in two seasons while the Lakeshow would reload and be winning ships? :lol

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Bottom line is the Spurs front office wants to win and will put a win over money. After Duncan is gone they will go through a rough patch but they won't sign Monte Ellis(or any other shitty FA) to put butts in the seats. The Lakers Spurs rivalry is for the long term.

[Latarian Milton]

even when duncan is already 37yr old they're still counting on him to do everything, it's hard to imagine how terrible things will turn when duncan retires imho. spurs may probably continue to make the playoffs on a regular basis but will be nothing but first round fodder, until they decide to tank a season for another top young prospect, but no one can ensure they will be lucky enough to get another franchise player like what duncan is imho

I'd be more confident in Morey GM'ing as opposed to the dumbfuck who traded Harden for Kevin Martin :lol

[racm]

I'm more confident in GS than OKC tbh.

Westbrook on one good knee won't be as good. Harden was the perfect sixth man and is doing great leading his team (but wilts when playoff defenses center their game plan on him).

As long as they keep their 44 million jump shooting spearchucker as their best big man they're going nowhere. Miami beat them in the post and on the 3 point line, and Memphis is eating their lunch down low.

And Presti forgot that you need a great coach to patch over a team's flaws.

SO much fail in this post. Don't even know where to begin. Let's see...

Pop wasn't the coach until halfway through the 97 season; Duncan arrived that next summer.

Sucking in the 90's? :lol The Spurs (496 regular season wins, 46 playoff victories) had a better record than the Lakers (485 regular season wins, 39 playoff victories) in the 90s and won more playoff games than the Lakers in that decade, making the playoffs ever year except the 97 injury riddled season.

Spurs were 2-0 in series against the Lakers in the 90s. :rollin

Spurs had a championship in the 90's, while the Lakers got an ass whippin at the hands of MJ and Magic got HIV...

Dumbass Laker fan, looking stupid, per the usual...
