Lowe: "the spurs have a holier than thou attitude" Arnovitz: "it was all time duncan"

[apalisoc_9]

- From their recent podcast. They're hammering the Spurs organization and making subtle shots against Pop.

- Says their holier than thou attidue maybe and Pops desire to rather play for a playoff spot instead of rebuilding is the reason why they lost this trade.

- Points at this current trade that the Spurs are really about maximing talent. Yes you can put systems etc but the truth is its all about the player.

If Pop wasnt a factor, the spurs would have amazing picks right now and probably would have gotten rid of Gasoft.

" Popovich begged Leonard to let him announce to the media that the forward would be forced to sit out the season due to his injury, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Believing he'd eventually return, Leonard declined each time, leaving Popovich to field queries from the media that he couldn't definitively answer. Popovich simply didn't know."

[FireMicoHalili]

Lowe: “The Spurs are alternatively humble and sometimes they exude a little bit holier-than-thou about tanking and competing to win...it all stems from Tim Duncan. LaMarcus Aldridge is not, Kawhi Leonard is not. I just really don’t understand how it happened, I don’t even think how people with the Spurs understood how it got this bad...I understand the nuts and bolts, they don’t just add up to me to like I am literally willing to sit out the season to avoid looking at you people right in the eyes.”

You took the quote out of context, Pinoy Marauder. Come on, you can’t even transcribe? That’s easier than pharm school.

[dbestpro]

I really did not come to grips with how much Leonard was sucking the life out of the Spurs until he was gone. It is like a breath of fresh air. The stink has left the room. Now the Spurs can get back to being the Spurs, and are not that far away from being able to match up with anyone.

Unless he’s actually Cris Carter (guy sounds as dumb as Pinoy Marauder) I hope new posters just don’t take his word for it.

Pop might be a bit holier than thou on his politics (or quite a bit actually), but the franchise philosophy is elevating, not condescending. They believe tanking is stupid.

I listened to the podcast because of what was quoted here about "holier than thou"...and I don't think that was misquoted...I thought Lowe said it with an undertone of "Finally they're getting taken down a notch" (which, frankly, surprised me as I always though Lowe was pretty level-headed about things)...and then Arnovitz was eager to pile on...but it isn't just Lowe and Arnovitz...David Griffin said something similar...and Tom Ziller...and Jabari Young...and most non-SA writers. I think a lot of media people find the Spurs irritating because they just don't talk and because they don't really provide access--and that animosity is now coming out given the opportunity. But what some may see it as "holier than thou", others may see it as just a firm conviction that PATFO knows what works for them and don't feel the need to be swayed by externalities...

[LCM]

"Holier than thou attitude" is toward tanking. Somebody mentioned it before. Now would the media like the Spurs to be taken down a notch? Absolutely! Especially if the Spurs don't make the playoffs this year and set a new NBA record for most playoff appearances in a row. The media would bring that up every time to give a dig on the Spurs.

But why don't the Spurs tank? Make a deal for Kawhi that was pick heavy? To me it's a very easy answer, and it doesn't have anything to do with Pop and his last year's coaching. The Spurs franchise according to Forbes is valued at 1.175 billion. That is 12th out of 30 teams. The Spurs take a nose dive for two to three years with young players only, you are going to have potential buyers circling the Spurs. My guess would be from the Seattle area first. You'd have the Seahawks owner, Amazon owner, local entrepreneurs building an ownership group to buy the Spurs and relocate it. This isn't far fetched. If you've listened to Sean Elliott say how many times DR took pay cuts and not market value to keep the Spurs in SA. That is one of the reasons, besides fielding a competitive team, that TD, Manu, and TP did the say things with their contracts. That's why I highly doubt the Super max was offered to Kawhi Leanord.

There were two things I thought were funny. 1) loosing DR, Avery Johnson, and Sean Elliott to massive chuncks of the season in 1996-97 was considered tanking for Duncan. Yeah, those three guys are easy to replace on the fly during a season! Ask 40 year old Dominique Wilkins how that went that season, especially with a first year coach with no NBA head coaching experience in Pop! Bob Hill is fired after 5 games, and Pop sets up shop. 2) Spurs having " a rough couple years ". Before last season they won 67 and 60 games! Where is the rough?? The rough was this year with no KL/starting lineup constently turning over because of injury! And the spurs still earned 47 wins.

[alpha_HaZE]

Yes, that's the same that guy joked, after KD signed with the warriors, that the best way to beat them is to sign 5 "players that sweat like pigs" and hope the warriors slip and injure themselves. And he thought it was funny.

But Arnovitz knows his staff. Of course, it was Duncan, that guy was the Spurs. Now we have all sorts of drama, I call it the Stephen Jackson curse. Guy comes to the team and starts messing with Manu during practices thinking some guys should be playing over him. Pop, had to cut him from the team and not long they let Jonathon Simmons go for the very same reason. Tony wanted to be traded at first, then it was LA and now Kawhi. I don't think our locker room had been that great these last few years. And good to see Pop cleaning house.

It is crazy that Seattle is left without an NBA franchise but I just don't see the Spurs moving. They have been there too long and have made too much of an impact. Couple this with the fact they are in the fastest growing state the last few years an hour to hour and a half from the fastest growing city in Austin and that now SA is growing fast right now as well. Texas is set to be an economic hub right behind California for the next generation. As long as Global Warming or a Nuclear War doesn't destroy us.

They wouldn't even be the Spurs anymore. Seattle would just call them the Sonics.

- From their recent podcast. They're hammering the Spurs organization and making subtle shots against Pop.

- Says their holier than thou attidue maybe and Pops desire to rather play for a playoff spot instead of rebuilding is the reason why they lost this trade.

- Points at this current trade that the Spurs are really about maximing talent. Yes you can put systems etc but the truth is its all about the player.


What non-patfo fluffers have been saying all along.


If Pop wasnt a factor, the spurs would have amazing picks right now and probably would have gotten rid of Gasoft. It could be worse, they could be shipped out of the country and publicly dressed down by the greatest player in NBA history while losing their shoe deal.

True...would never happen tbh. San Antonio Spurs is a pretty big name/brand for the NBA.

It is crazy that Seattle is left without an NBA franchise but I just don't see the Spurs moving. They have been there too long and have made too much of an impact. Couple this with the fact they are in the fastest growing state the last few years an hour to hour and a half from the fastest growing city in Austin and that now SA is growing fast right now as well. Texas is set to be an economic hub right behind California for the next generation. As long as Global Warming or a Nuclear War doesn't destroy us.

ugh and more loser (fake)Californians coming here too... hope they all have bad gps systems and drive right into the ocean before they make it here.

You hit on something, and I'm glad you did! According to population numbers for 2018, Houston is the 4th largest city in US. San Antonio is 7th, bigger than Dallas. And when someone says well when you take in the Fort Worth, we can say we'll there is Austin. This is why I bring this up, THE MEDIA treat San Antonio as a small market! Why? They treat Houston like a medium market! Why? The media don't see the businesses they can exploit to get those business' advertising dollars in San Antonio, yet. If the media deem they can or can't make a living in a market they deem it big or small. The media have firmly planted their flags in LA, NYC, Chicago. For an industry that considers itself national, it's the most regional thing there is. The reason I mentioned Seattle is there are nationwide businesses the media would be open to competing for their advertising budgets, there are media who were pissed when the Sonics were moved to OKC, and if you think the Spurs history or influence in this community will sway the media from promoting how a five time champion wouldn't be a wonderful addition to Pacific Northwest you got another thing coming. The media, ESPN, FOX, CBS, etc won't loose a wink of sleep over small market San Antonio loosing it's team.

Sonics can claim them as their own, tbh... see: Lakers

It seems like Hakeem had a similar situation as Kawhi where he had a hamstring injury that kept him out and a bad relationship with management but the Rockets mended fences and were able to win 2 championships with him. Also interesting comparison Hakeem and Kawhi and Jordan only players to be All Star, Finals MVP, and DPOY. Also Hakeem eventually did end up playing for Raptors.

You finally got your wish in the Spurs trading Kawhi. Although Derozan is a much better return than Beal and Ariza
