Spurs FO looking dumbAF right now

[CapitalEmm]

RC and Pop should resign after botching their rosters so bad that Kawhi walked

[SpursGenius]

Terrible front office last 4 years

[SASdynasty!]

Haha Kawhi the GOAT

[tbdog]

Out of curiosity, what would you have done? Traded him Harris?

They looked the part the moment they pulled the the trigger on that historically embarrassing trade...

Imagine turning the Spurs into a farm team for the fuckin Raptors :lmao...

[Trainwreck2100]

he didn't leave because of the roster

[Pavlov]

Oh look, another one of these threads.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Why did kawhi want out though? Did RC or an owner say something about him being weird, was Parker the tipping point? We'll never know...

[r0drig0lac]

now? you should check the contracts of Pau Gasol (easily tradeable) and Patty "the culture" Mills.

[tbdog]

Leonard missed the shot and they go on to lose (a very much could next round) all of a sudden Raptors lose out.

[DavidTheGoliath]

Pop already "resigned" for 3 yrs fwiw fyi tbh

Yep. They look like complete FOOLS.

Did you watch the game :lol

You know who else looks dumbAF right now? All the other teams that didn’t offer shit for kawhi, especially philly.

[slick'81]

[HarlemHeat37]

This is true, Philly and Boston look the worst..

Spurs were in a tough spot..if they weren't so classy, the best move would have been to dare Kawhi to sit out an entire season again..that would be petty, though, and Pop would have never done that:lol

They got a trade that helped them hit their goals, which was to stay relevant..

[Trainwreck2100]

Why did kawhi want out though? Did RC or an owner say something about him being weird, was Parker the tipping point? We'll never know...

don't know about that, the Spurs let Parker walk after all

[spursistan]

Another disgraceful thing that needs to be considered in all of this: PATFO pulled the trigger rather soon in large part because they didn't have the stomach to deal with the media circus that was set in motion by Kawhis trade demand..

This front office is too soft; it is not used to the vagaries of normal NBA franchise. They have no expertise dealing with these type of turmoils since they had basked in Duncan's basket utopia for the entirety of their career..

[HarlemHeat37]

Ultimately, Tony Parker ran Kawhi out of town with his comments..he killed the only chance of a reunion by questioning Leonard's manhood..

He put the front office in an impossible position and then left for Charlotte:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

They traded the best player in the league for Demar Derozan, some white American scrub, and a glorified early 2nd round pick LMFAOOOOOOOO

[TheGreatYacht]

Crater face thinks Patty Mills is the leader Kawhi never was btw :lmao if that's not proof that he's gone past senility

[spursistan]

They traded the best player in the league for Demar Derozan, some white American scrub, and a glorified early 2nd round pick LMFAOOOOOOOO
It is too fuckin' stupid to be true. I don't think you can even tell it to a Spurs fan as joke two years ago.. But here we are :lol..

[Nathan89]

They looked moronic the second they made the trade.

[TheGreatYacht]

It is too fuckin' stupid to be true. I don't think you can even tell it to a Spurs fan as joke two years ago.. But here we are :lol..
I think you're underestimating how stupid Spurs fans are... Spurs fans on reddit, facebook, twitter love that coffee crap Fatty does for the losers in that locker room. They slurp it up. They've surpassed the stupidity of Laker fans, who no longer take the crap the Buss family feeds them.

Those same dumbasses are here. Those faggots filled with estrogen know who they are. They love the turd trio we have right now. They think Poeltl is better than Steven Adams. If you don't suck Pop's limp cock you're not a true fan :lol

[spursistan]

If Kawhi leads the Toronto to the Finals and, say, they take 2 games off the Warriors it should be the end of PATFO as anything resembling a serious and competent front office..

They should be treated for the laughing stock they are after turning this proud franchise into a farm team for a hitherto irrelevant organization north of the border..

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop's off season priority is convincing career winner Rudy Gay to comeback :lol

All those posters that said Rudy opted out last year to sign back for a cheap 1yr deal so he can get one last fat paycheck were right...

Jesus fucking christ. What is it with you fools?

Back it up or shove this stuff where the sun don't shine. Why is PATFO, parker, San Antonio, or anything else catching flak from anyone here?..

Nephew, uncle, and Impact are the entities that fucked the Spurs. That's a fact. Anything else is mere cucking.

[offset formation]

They looked moronic the second they made the trade.

Lol. Let me give you a newsflash there Nate. You support a gotdamn joke of a POTUS, so everything there after is just a puddle of embarrassment for you. You wouldn't know what being a moron looked like if it slapped you in the face.

[Payote75]

Seriously guys I know it's painful to see that mute traitor hit that shot but honestly what were the Spurs to do??? Who would all the critics on here have acquired for the mute? He tied our hands he stole money from the organization we still tried to repair shit with him ginobli retired Parker gone what else could we have done besides give him part ownership of the team???? Teams all low balled us what were we to do who were we getting??? It hurts it sux he single handedly took down a dynasty franchise but I'm not about to blame the Spurs. He was/is a sensitive mute bitch and after the Spurs helped make him the player he is he dropped us like we were nothing and in doing so handcuffed the orginization by not allowing us to at least get close to equal value.

[look_at_g_shred]

Well hopefully this just lights a fire under their ass to do something

[Robz4000]

Woj, Windhorst and several other credible people have said it..

Have no real dog in this fight, but :lol Windhorst being credible...

[offset formation]

Woj, Windhorst and several other credible people have said it..

Yes, they said it was coming from the Kawhi camp.

You are aware what else was being said aren't you? And you are aware of the timeline aren't you?

If not, let me give you a brief recap of the other things they leaked to Woj, etc:
They said San Antonio was the reason he lost his shoe deal with Jordan brand.
They said Pop didn't ask for Kawhi's input
They said the Spurs were too controlling specifically related to asking him to leave early for the All Star game so he wouldn't get caught in traffic...which he did.
They said the Spurs wouldn't let him get a second opinion on his quad, which has been proven as a bald faced lie. He had been seeing a specialist since before last season even started.
They then hid him from Spurs doctors and said the Spurs hadn't checked on his status but that Pop and heim talked regularly, which also wasn't true.

They lied out of their ass and attempted hits on his teammates, coaching staff, training staff, doctors, front office, and the city of San Antonio.

In short, he is a major league punk ass bitch. He lied. His manager and representatives lied. And they put the Spurs in a really shitty position all while paying him $19M and while trying to make him the face of the franchise for the next decade.

This infuriates me to no end to keep seeing these straight up fabrications repeated as fact here. Youguysare fucking toolsfor putting even one ounce of blame on PATFO until we know anything more.

Again, it's clear as day that Nephew and his team put the Spurs in an unenviable position and it came out of the blue.

Fuck all of you that say otherwise.

[Pavlov]

Misdiagnosed his injury.

Then, when he had to sit, they question the injury (Thanks, TP).

Then they refused to give the supermax because of said injury.

Stupid fucking FO. But, I guess we should've expected such stupidity after they stopped trying to compete for chips when they doubled down on Fatty, Gasoft, LMA, and - now - DD and Gay.

You just know that resigning that loser Gay to a loyalty deal will be their biggest move this offseason.

Isn't loyalty built over time? Since when was it "the Spurs way" to give out "loyalty" deals to guys who've only been here a season or two? *cough* Gasol's 50 mill after only 62 games *cough*

Here a cuck, there a cuck, everywhere a cuck cuck.

Yep, you're a cuck too.

[testies]

The problem isn't getting rid of the autist.. The problem is doing the worst case scenario of not tanking, getting some mediocre star that will make us suck, but not enough to get a lottery pick and become the Western Pistons basically. Also we traded Kawhi to too nice of a team.

Shouldve traded him to Minnesota and tanked hard this year. Our awful coach resigned anyways, its not like it was his goodbye season.

[TimDunkem]

Yep, you're a cuck too.

Here a cuck, there a cuck, everywhere a cuck cuck.

You're probably typing that through your tears. It's okay, brah. Maybe they'll draft another Timmy one day to carry the franchise back out of obscurity.

[Payote75]

Without pop and the spurs kaweasel doesn't exist!!!!
a franchise known for excellence known for class know to keep players happy even hand out shit loyalty deals to players all the sudden singled out kawierd and 20 plus years of class and consistency was just bypassed when it came to him. Just doesn't seem plausible a smart organization knowing they are transitioning and are fortunate enough to have there next franchise player in tow all the sudden decide to mistreat and become a dictatorship but only to kawierd??? Hmmmmm yea no he is a thief sensitive traitor who wanted to snake his way out.

That's a whole other issue.

IF the relationship was fractured beyond repair then trade the man for assets and rebuild. Don't move him for one of the worst "stars" in the league and double down on mediocrity and NBA purgatory. :lol

[Geo210SpursSanAnto.]

How does is the front office dumb? Uncle dennis wanted out for his bitch... Starting his sports agency in s.a. was not a good look for him since his investors are on the east... Now he is lookin for a bigger market on the west coast...

No. Without TIM DUNCAN this city wouldn't even have an NBA team and Pop would've been coaching somewhere else by this point.

Literally every NBA insider said it was a mix of his misdiagnosis, TP/FO questioning him, and being denied the max because of said misdiagnosed injury.

But one person in here discredits that?

[offset formation]

You're probably typing that through your tears. It's okay, brah. Maybe they'll draft another Timmy one day to carry the franchise back out of obscurity.

Funny. I'm not the one lashing out blaming, baselessly so, PATFO like a spoiled fan bitch because Nephew won a playoff game by going 16 for 39.

I'm also not gonna be a hypocritical bitch when PATFO gets this thing moving back in the right direction, sans season ending injuries to starting PGs and Kawhitters going into hiding and lying out of their ass while collecting $19M. I get to remain a fan without that stain of cuck all over me. You'll come crawling back to the bandwagon all right, but some of us will remember you're a bitch when you do.

1. Faked the severity of the injury. This is an injury that normally keeps people out for 6-8 weeks tops.
2. Wanted to leave regardless of what Parker said due to Uncle wanting LA. Teammates knew he was full of shit that's what it came down to.
3. Windhorst actually said they offered him the Super max but he still rejected them.
4. I agree with you the Gasol,Mills deals were terrible. Gay was actually a good signing. He was meant to be #2's backup and not meant to play the role he's playing now. It will turn out to be a terrible signing if they give him a Mills deal this summer.

Dude it's all a formula Timmy needed pop and pop needed Timmy not to mention Timmy also had a class act like the admiral help him out but the organization has been well run and class for many years my point was I find it hard to believe they all the sudden changed there ways with kaquitter.

It'll be awhile before the real bandwagoners come back though, tbh. This DD/LMA/Gay team won't be going anywhere for some time, unfortunately.

The big mistake they made I felt was not trading him for Tatum and Brown when they could have done it. Tatum and Brown may never be as good as him but they would have been two young exciting players the Spurs could have molded into all-stars. Honestly I wanted them to force him to play out his final year and make him sweat it out much like the Pelicans are doing with Davis.

[DJR210]

Sucks knowing the real "asset" of our trade was fucking Jakob smh. Fuck Kawhi man I hope he eats e-coli tainted meat tonight

As opposed to implying that I bandwagon yes. There are definitely some people here that went with Kawhi and will be back if this team is ever relevant again.

Don't know if they could considering that was before the relationship appeared fractured beyond repair. For THAT, I do not fault the FO.

[Nathan89]

PATFO are infallible. The media told me, so this is a bullshit thread tbh.

[TimDunkem]

Also, why is 16/39 on 41% shooting a bad thing, Offset? Who else were they going to feed? Ibaka who was the only other Raptor to show up? Leonard was averaging 35+ on 60%+ shooting for most of the series anyway. :lol

[daslicer]

From what I have heard the relationship was already fractured when that deal was offered but according to MoSpur the Spurs FO thought they could still fix it hence why it dragged on until the summer. The Celtics made the offer around the trade deadline last year and Spurs passed up on it. Wouldn't have done the Clipps deal. Tobias is not a max player in my eyes. He's a great third or fourth option on a championship team.

It's pretty shitty. I can't be a hypocrite about it since I bashed Kobe for years for having shit games like this and getting bailed out by Gasol. In #2's case I won't even say his teammates bailed him out more so the Sixers just choked a lot harder. I have never seen a player shoot that poorly on that many attempts and win a playoff game.

Well, we definitely can't say it was his teammates when he scored most of the points in the 4th and no one else except Ibaka shot over 37%. We also can't hate on his percentage this game when he was averaging MJ numbers for most of the series.

You are moving the goal post. I base performances game to game and not what a player did the previous game. Sure he had a great series but it doesn't change the fact he shot a very shitty percentage today. I can't think of a time where a guy took close to 40 FG attempts and shot below 45 percent and won a playoff game. Like I said before the Sixers choked harder today then the Raptors. Ask yourself this question do you think he would have won had he had that type of game against an experienced team like the Warriors?

[daslicer]

Take your pick. I'd rather have any of those guys over 29 this year, tbh.

Spurs got 19 and 29. I mention 19 because their record would have been better had they not traded #2. They will get the same type of quality players with those 2 picks like they would have gotten last year with 15 and 16.

You are moving the goal post. I base performances game to game and not what a player did the previous game. Sure he had a great series but it doesn't change the fact he shot a very shitty percentage today. I can't think of a time where a guy took close to 40 FG attempts and shot below 45 percent and won a playoff game. Like I said before the Sixers choked harder today then the Raptors. Ask yourself this question do you think he would have won had he had that type of game against an experienced team like the Warriors?

You can say that about any team. Your star not shooting well isn't exactly a recipe for success. He showed up when it mattered though.

And, again, can't really fault him. The 76ers threw everything at him while no one else except Ibaka showed up and he still took them to the ECF. :tu:

We'll see. I haven't really followed this college class, tbqfh.

[SupremeGuy]

Why did kawhi want out though? Did RC or an owner say something about him being weird, was Parker the tipping point? We'll never know...Ding ding ding

Not impressed I saw a guy who had his typical meltdown in an elimination game much like he did against the Thunder in game 6 back in '17 when he shot 9-23. The only difference was the Sixer's star players just choked harder. Truly a pathetic game by both teams to be honest.

[offset formation]

i hope masai took the $5 million the spurs sent him and bet it all on the TOR making the ECF :lol

Lol. What an accomplishment that'd be. Make it back to the place that DDR just took you the year before last. Where they will lose again. And then you'll lose that asset and be left with nothing but a whiff of Giannis' ass and the loss of a first round pick, a starting center, and deal with a severely bloated payroll if they even want to compete for a 6 spot next year.

Congrats on that payout

[HarlemHeat37]

Yes, they said it was coming from the Kawhi camp.

You are aware what else was being said aren't you? And you are aware of the timeline aren't you?

If not, let me give you a brief recap of the other things they leaked to Woj, etc:
They said San Antonio was the reason he lost his shoe deal with Jordan brand.
They said Pop didn't ask for Kawhi's input
They said the Spurs were too controlling specifically related to asking him to leave early for the All Star game so he wouldn't get caught in traffic...which he did.
They said the Spurs wouldn't let him get a second opinion on his quad, which has been proven as a bald faced lie. He had been seeing a specialist since before last season even started.
They then hid him from Spurs doctors and said the Spurs hadn't checked on his status but that Pop and heim talked regularly, which also wasn't true.

They lied out of their ass and attempted hits on his teammates, coaching staff, training staff, doctors, front office, and the city of San Antonio.

In short, he is a major league punk ass bitch. He lied. His manager and representatives lied. And they put the Spurs in a really shitty position all while paying him $19M and while trying to make him the face of the franchise for the next decade.

This infuriates me to no end to keep seeing these straight up fabrications repeated as fact here. Youguysare fucking toolsfor putting even one ounce of blame on PATFO until we know anything more.

Again, it's clear as day that Nephew and his team put the Spurs in an unenviable position and it came out of the blue.

Fuck all of you that say otherwise.

No need for all this anger..

I agree that the front office was in an impossible position and I've been very anti-Leonard due to his actions..however, like I said, Parker killed any chance at a reunion, there was no need for him to say what he said, it was completely unnecessary..

Kawhi likely would have wanted out regardless, but Parker's comments were the last straw..he slapped Pop in the mouth and then went to Charlotte:lol

[Nathan89]

Tony Parker sure left with a bang.

[DPG21920]

That is some weak stuff. The fact that Kawhi called it the last straw doesnt make it logical. It’s someone using something as a ploy.

Critical thinking skills would have anyone quickly understanding this. Its like when someone cheats on their spouse then blames their suspicions on why they cheated :lol. You realize you were actually cheating already, right :lol?

Cris Carter is the guy I take more seriously than all of these guys since he's #2's mouth piece. At first Cris was saying Parker's comment's bothered #2 but when Parker left he immediately changed the story. He then said it wasn't really what Parker said that bothered #2 but it was other things in the Spurs organization. Basically if you use commons sense you can tell #2's camp was using Parker as a scapegoat to get out of SA and then changed up the story once Parker left.

And here's a man that actually uses facts to make his mind up about things. Finally. Thanks-

The whole thing was propaganda. It was a calculated move.

Cris Carter doesn't have any credibility and there's no actual proof that he's Kawhi's voice..

Woj is the most reliable man in the industry and Zach Lowe doesn't say things without having a credible source..

As a man, how would you feel if one of the faces of your team called you pussy in front of the world?

[Proxy]

Toronto's run is largely due to two players the FO grabbed in the first place. That same FO brought back a package that took a 2 seed to 7 games without their starting all-nba defensive PG, in a situation where their hands were tied.

...but they're "dumbAF"

Cris is part of impact sports. His agent Mitch Frankel represents #2. Cris is an investor in impact sports. His brother also trained with #2. Cris was parroting the exact same stuff Woj and Lowe were up until Parker left. That clip you posted was a week or so before Parker left. Show me a clip of those two guys saying the same stuff afterwards.
