This is the lowest point for the Spurs franchise since 6..

[spursistan]

I can't believe this nightmare: The proud and historical Spurs organization has officially become a 'farm team' to the fuckin' Toronto Raptors.. :depressed

Imagine trading your franchise player to a team so they could fast track to a ring while you get serially bounced in the first round for years to come..

Welcome to life like the 2008 Grizzlies :lmao..

[testies]

This is a fucking joke, my fucking blood pressure is so high right now at the ufcking retarded PATFO

[slick'81]

Only if tor wins the finals and reups .then we basically gifted tor a championship

[TheGreatYacht]

15 4th quarter points and the entire population of SA with clinched hairy assholes!

THE CLAW

[Uriel]

These are the same people who were so eager to get rid of Leonard at the trade deadline :rolleyes

Of course there won't be any accountability for Pop and RC..But I'm finally glad this massively overrated duo are suffering a slap in face of historical proportions..

[Play Boban]

Green - 0/3, 0 points

How do you trade your franchise player, who pulled a most disgraceful bushleague move on you, to a 59-win team? Not even the Pelicans did to the Lakers who've been sucking for ages..

For a shit return. Once you couldn't get reasonable value, you hang onto the piece of shit, force him to report and play to collect his paycheck (like Butler) and see how shit goes.

Or, since they didn't have the balls for that, you call up some middle of the road team with balls, like the Heat and say give us Adebayo, one of Winslow/Richardson, contracts filler and some down the road protected pick. That's better than the shit they received and guarantees that he's not in position to compete for a championship.

As an expert on things hurting, I don't think this is that painful, tbh. Damage was done when the trade was made. Situation was unfortunate but it was the case of a star player wanting out of a small market. We've seen that so often in the NBA that it should be expected, IMO.

Sure, it'd suck if Neph rings but it doesn't compare to '95, '04, '06, '13, et al.

PATFO held on to him as long as they could, even built last years roster as if he was coming back. When he told Pop in his face that he never wants to put a foot into the Spurs locker room again, they had no other choice. Trading him for a net negative choker like DeRozan though is completely their fault. The guy got benched in the WCF cause he was a negative on both ends, so the writing was on the wall.

This was never about that. It was about the way it was handled. Had he done it professionally and they got max value like the Pelicans probably will for Davis, of course I'd still dislike him, but at the end of the day, I could live with it.

They way this played out, this franchise has been gutted. Meanwhile, he's the talk of the league.

How could this not bother you? And why are you still teasing this fan base? You'd have been better off not saying anything as opposed to withholding information.

I didn't even feel positive the Spurs would ring again after 6. Again this is a stupid comparison. After this playoff run is over I could careless if #2 wins 10 title in a row and the Spurs have 10 straight lottery season. He's POS but it's not worth the time and energy paying attention to this guy 24/7 like a lot of posters have done in here including the OP.

It's a tier below those for sure but it still hurts pretty bad.

As a former Nephew fanboy, that saw his greatness before many did, that coined the term Kawhichael, that named my dog after him ffs--it sucks. After avoiding watching TOR all year because of the PTSD, I brought myself to start watching them in the semis (mainly bc I wanted to see Nephew fail) and it's been awful because he just keeps stepping up to the challenge. It hurts even more when you remember that we got the fakest of fake stars in return.

I hope Toronto makes it to the finals and defeats GS. How any Spurs fan can root for GS is appalling.

[FutureMan]

This is exactly how far I wanted the Raptors to go. Leonard has taken them the furthest the franchise has ever gone. All the reason to stay there and in the East. This way we only play him twice a year unless it’s a finals matchup. I can just see the headlines now lol
Again why do people want the Raptors to do terrible? So that Leonard can bolt to LA and have the chance to bounce us out of the playoffs every year for the next decade?? Short sighting thinking.
Best thing for the Spurs is for Durant to leave the Warriors, go east, and Leonard to stay in the East

Are you fucking dumb or what? If he quit on us, trade him for fucking Timberwolves and let him freeze in an irrelevant shithole and get some assets and rebuild.

No, we have to get a mediocre star who will make us too good to tank but to awful to compete, and we become the butt of the joke and the Western Pistons basically, while giving him a platform to shine. Trade him to fucking Suns, who gives a shit.

Its not like this was one last hurrah for Pop to compete, he renewed his fucking contract

[Spurtacular]

Spurs fans going to have to choose between the Warriors who took down this organization from the outside or Kawhi who took down this organization from within. A case can be made that it is lower than 6 on paper. Emotionally, I don't think it's as bad though.

There were really no homerun offers though. Every single trade package that was rumored to be out there was going to be pennies on the dollar for a Jordanesque level player.

[FkLA]

Pretty sure they tried for months. What can you do when the guy avoids Pop and former team legends like Timmy and Dave?

[daslicer]

I would be in favor of ending this thread cause I'm tired of talking about him but it's the only thing that's being discussed around here so I just roll with it.

I will just add to why 6 was worse. I remember at work hearing about it from everybody. Hell I could not go out anywhere without hearing about people talking about it on the streets. Currently at my job people follow the playoffs but no one gives a shit to talk about #2 trade and how the Spurs were ripped off. No one even trolls me about it. So I can't say him winning is worse than 6 granted I hope he doesn't ring.

Yeah, let's just pretend the faggot didn't sabotage his trade value by declaring that he won't sign a long-term deal anywhere other than LA. I'm sure those teams you mentioned were really willing to give up valuable assets for a 1 year rental.

[K...]

lowest point was last year losing to GSW in5. or losing in4 the year before.

[Gobigorgohome]

Golden stare is by far the better team anyways best bench so far even tho its a watered down league so gay i miss when a foul was a foul inatead we have a bunch of pre madanas making millions of dollars who can not get over them selves each time they act like a fool nba should give there fine for being such ass wipes to a retired vet the hell with the flops and none calls what a crock of poop

[therealtruth]

I don't think the Spurs have technically lost the trade until he doesn't resign with the Raptors.

[phxspurfan]

lowest point was last year losing to GSW in5. or losing in4 the year before.

Lowest point since 6 was the team meeting where Parker chewed Kawhi out and Manu begged him to play again and he still said no and then left the team/fled to NY. That's when everyone knew the Spurs run was over

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Go Warriors go

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs should’ve had a verbal agreement to the Kawhi the supermax much sooner instead
Of dicking around.

I don’t care how “degenerative” his quad he is balling out of his kind while we are stuck with some
Of the softest players in the league

[Dex]

Some of you clearly need bigger things to worry about, tbh.

[therealtruth]

They should have made an effort to put a competitive team around him like the Raptors did. I'm not sure what stage of grief this is but it's time to let it go. PATFO have. Just need remember the lesson for next time. When you get a historic talent you do everything to keep them happy and field a competitve team.

[JuneJive]

Who gives a shit about what he's doing.

He clearly didn't fake the injury... U guys can't have it both ways... When convenient u call him injury prone, then another day say he is a faker

[duncan2k5]

It's a contract year. The smart business decision is to have the season of your life.

But during the season yall were saying he wasn't pushing himself because he didn't wanna risk hurting himself for a team he isn't signing to... Can't keep moving the goalposts

[SAGirl]

It’s just basketball, not life or death. :rollin
Uhhh hello Pop, glad you are enjoying the show.

[KobesAchilles]

Just from my sentimental POV, I feel like the lowest point since 6 was the day that Duncan announced his retirement.

[buujness]

Lol, at the SpursTalk-patented cliff jumping.

He quit on the team and forced his way out with a destination in mind, an injury cloud over his future (that he helped foster) and one year left on his contract. There was no way the Spurs were going to get even value in a trade, and if you didn't trade him, you'd have nothing in return when he left.

Out of a lot of shitty options, the Spurs chose to allow their most talented players to develop at their own pace in a winning environment and framework. Seems to me to be the best chance at getting back to contender status in the shortest time frame. Players learn to sacrifice for the good of the team and how to win. It sucks, but as I said: the best of a bunch of shitty options.

Is it annoying that Nephew is doing so well? Yeah. Obviously, I wish Kawhi were a Spur still. Shit happens. I choose to focus my basketball fandom on the young Spurs and how they're developing into great players before our eyes. It's not impossible; most of us didn't see Kawhi becoming what he's became. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Murray, White, Walker or a future Spur do something similar.

In the meantime, find something else to think about. This is not worth the mental anguish. Not even close to 6.

[NickiRasgo]

I don't mind trading Kawhi especially if he doesn't want here anymore but what kills me is getting Demar in return - not unless Poeltl and the 29th pick will make some big impact in the future. Really wished though that the Kings traded their #2 pick to us then pick Luka or Jason but the Celtics just low-balled us.

The Warriors bush league cheated and placed a "hit" to take out Kawhi. It was a deliberate move by a ruthless Steve Kerr.

[DMC]

Duncan was this || close to leaving to Orlando, and he is celebrated as the consummate loyal professional. If Duncan was that close to leaving once, stands to reason that a guy who seems to have more interest in branding than Duncan would be tough to retain.

Except KL left because the Spurs weren't nursing his injury as they should. He looks around, sees Manu playing injured, see's Tony go down with a muscle tear, sees guys across the league like Isaiah Thomas get shit on because they got injured while balling for a team, and he gets scared. Dennis stokes the fear and KL decides he's had enough of the small market and coach Pop's system. Only one team wins a ring each year, Kawhi has a ring and Finals MVP, has 2 DPOY awards. Looking ahead to future lineup odds, Kawhi might think the Spurs would surround him with old retiring players and D leaguers and just stand pat each season as long as they continue to make the playoffs. From that perspective you cannot blame him for wanting out, but you can blame him for doing it in such a chickenshit manner, uncharacteristic of what we thought KL was like, and Pop probably didn't deserve that.

[DMC]

All this "took down the organization" talk is bullshit. The Spurs could have made the 2nd round this year if their starting PG wasn't out. They might be fine next year. All it takes is for KD to say "cool 3peat, I'm moving elsewhere" and the gates are open again.

Great post

[RD2191]

The Spurs need to realize that franchise players like DRob and Duncan are long gone. Brand and image mean something to today's star players. This old school thinking of "fall in line" and "it's my way or the highway" won't work in today's NBA. The Spurs need to get with the times if they want to continue to be successful.

[RD2191]

Pop is just too polarizing in my opinion. He gets too much of the credit for winning in SA and I'm not sure today's stars are with that.

Stars leaving small teams has happened for decades. Spursfan want to take it personal when it happens to them.



Kawhi is a great player, bad personality and celebrity. I wouldn't want to be forced to root for him.

Rooting for the Spurs had always been an underdog affair. Nothing going forward is going to change that.

[Arcadian]

Guys, why are you acting like you just found out Kawhi plays for the Raptors? :lol I can understand this thread last summer, but why now?

Anyway, just look at the Raptors as an extension of the Spurs. That's how I look at it. Why not? We gave them our superstar, so we can take some credit for their success.

[florige]

Relax guys

No one beats Golden State


With Durant out/hobbled and with Leonard playing the way he has they can beat them. With a healthy Durant its not that likely.

Its hard for alot of Spurs fan to fathom because not really anyone prior to Leonard has ever bolted or wanted to leave. SA is always mentioned as one of the model franchises in all of sports. So alot of Spurs fans (myself included) were mystified why Leonard would want to leave.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Murray, White, Walker or a future Spur do something similar.

In the meantime, find something else to think about. This is not worth the mental anguish. Not even close to 6.

not enough drama and irrationals in dat post.. not ST material tbh

[cjw]

I’m over it and would be cool with him beating the Warriors.

And then he signs in the East and we don’t have to worry about him in the future unless we actually make a finals. Better than him being in the West.

I like Demar more than most but if a dumb team who strikes out on Kawhi comes knocking (given overlap with White)... give me a pick.

[all_heart]

His injury and introvert personality was the perfect storm for this mess. Many players play with this injury, but his personality makes him want to shut it down, add in his teammates calling him out for it.. and the Spurs wanting him to play through it.. plus a controlling uncle.. and here we all are. oh well

[TDomination]

Relax guys

No one beats Golden State

Golden State better beat the Raptors but man, just the way things have been playing out. I can see the Raptors winning.
Or at the very least taking it to game 7 and losing at the very end.

But I'm hoping for a sweep by Golden State

[rjv]

leonard is a generational player and may or may not stay with toronto, but the raptors aren't going to win the title this season and if KD stays with golden state, they won't win next year either. and then leonard will be 29 with a 58 year old quad.

[HarlemHeat37]

At least we still have Patty:tu

[Spurtacular]

The Warriors bush league cheated and placed a "hit" to take out Kawhi. It was a deliberate move by a ruthless Steve Kerr.

Yup. But is it worse than Kawhi abandoning the team while still on contract?

Imagine the Bulls treating Jordan like he's special ed in commercials and making PATTY MILLS the star of them. :lmao

Imagine spending your summer working out 3 times a day every day, just so Pop can get 100% of the credit come playoff time :lmao

Imagine seeing your team be hesitant on paying you, the best player in the league, the supermax contract while they hand out $98,000,000 to Mills and Gasol :lmao

Imagine leading the team to back to back 60+ win seasons and a WCF, leave, have your former coach call you out for not being a leader...... AND THEN LEAD ANOTHER TEAM TO THE FINALS :lmao

None of these things actually happened - only inside your head

Imagine trading your franchise player to a team so they could fast track to a ring while you get serially bounced in the first round for years to come..

Welcome to life like the 2008 Grizzlies :lmao..

[dbreiden83080]

How do you trade your franchise player, who pulled a most disgraceful bushleague move on you, to a 59-win team? Not even the Pelicans did to the Lakers who've been sucking for ages..

You send the clown out of conference. Lakers did the same with Shaq and the Heat..
Also he wanted LA, so he got Toronto not exactly LA in terms of lifestyle and weather.. Sadly options were limited. You know any GM RC talked to, was using his injury and absence as a reason to not give up too much.

if you spend hours of your day defending another man's honor on a forum hoping he might someday notice and let you wash his balls, it's time to seriously re-evaluate your life.

I believe Tony Parker had a lot to do with Kawhi wanting to leave. Pop and Kawhi had an emotional moment after that 1st Raptors game in which we won. If Pop and Kawhi had an issue that wouldn't of happened. Could you see Pop being like that with Dennis Rodman after he wanted out of San Antonio? He wouldn't even do that Stephen Jackson. I believe Pop wanted Kawhi to be the bigger person and lead after what ever Parker did. I believe they let Parker leave not because of playing time but to show Kawhi that they were willing to get rid of the problem in order for him to stay. It's not that Kawhi quit on the team, he did not want to be around Tony. Look at what Tony did to Brent Barry. I was a TP fan up till 2008 when he seemed to become selfish because he won 2007 Finals MVP. It went to his head and he seemed to cost the team in the years to come because he wanted to be the man. He was mad that Danny was getting all the glory in 2013 Finals, called out the situation because he wanted to stop being double teamed driving to the basket so that he could get his points instead of welcoming the double team so that he can create for others so that he could put up great assist numbers but those are not the numbers he wanted. He wanted points and that's part of the reason the Spurs did not make another Finals appearance until Kawhi came along. If not for Tony still wanting to be the man, Kawhi would've been a better player at least 2 years ahead of schedule. It's still hard for me to root for Kawhi but we do not what exactly happened for him wanting to leave but we did see with our own eyes that him and Pop was okay with each other so stop blaming Pop unless you say he should've let Tony walk before signing him to that last contract. I am starting to come around about the whole Kawhi leaving situation because of that fact and there is no way that I can root for Golden State. You never know after a few years after all the smoke clears he will ne back and Pop will sign another 3 year deal and 3 peat with Kawhi, DJM, White, LW4 and Poeltl. In the mean time don't give up on DDR and Poeltl and whatever player we get with Toronto's 1st round pick. It was the 1st year for both players in the Spurs system. We will be better this coming year barring any major injuries. Peace and I'm out.

I hope TOR wins and rings TBH. Over the dude at this stage. He was just another snake. If Toronto rings you guys think going to LA won’t happen?

Fuck the Raptors. They change the whole narrative, he a real dude, he was misdiagnosed. He has to leave so people see the truth and we know it was all about going to LA. Let him go there. I don't care if we have to play against him, Pop better get mad and try to beat nephew although he'd probably lose every playoff series against him and then talk in the postgame how great of a person and player he is

Huge, undeniable FACTS that Porker fluffers don't want to hear :wow

We'd (as in Spurs fans) rather Kawhi win 10 rings in a row with the Raps than even get the Lakers to the playoffs. As long as we didn't trade him to the Lakers, all is good. Who really cares what he does with any other team. My only investment in this is really to see the helmet crew eat shit, the dumbest group of posters to ever exist on the site. And that's saying something when Lakers fans exist.

Still, it just sucks to see us join the ranks of dumb organizations. We got robbed in board daylight in a now historically infamous trade.

Could have dumped his ass on another team desperate for a star power for more or less equal return (Miami etc..) or could have forced him to suit up and rebuild his value without rewarding him with Finals trip and the chance to cement his narrative of what happened in '17-'18..

Such a gut punch to this franchise. I said it elsewhere: Yes, we have won 5 rings but we've suffered too many heartbreaks along the way. The last of which--this whole Kawhi saga-- caps it off in a weird and cruel denouement.

I thought we were gonna die off peacefully, but everything since Zaza has been a grim spiral..

[therealtruth]

I called it when the trade was made. They would at least make the Finals. I think they have a great shot at beating the Warriors especially without Durant. Wingstop has stopped Curry/Thompson before and the Raptors are big enough to take advantage of the Warriors lack of size.

[dbreiden83080]

The spurs are in perfectly fine shape. We always draft incredibly well. We will do so again this season. We had a perfectly good year considering everything that happened. The organization to me is still the best in the NBA. So over the next few years things will be fine.

I didn't really follow the drama that closely, but we're there any offers on the table that were better than Toronto's? Kawhi made it clear that LA was his intention, so teams were never going to give the Spurs equal trade value. And yeah, DeRozan isn't any consolation prize since he's, well, DeMar DeRozan :lol.

Where I think the Spurs messed up is how they handled the media side of the situation. Pop, Parker, and Manu should've shut the fuck up and not taken jabs at his "injury" or "his people." Yeah, the writing was on the wall well before that, and only helmet crew dipshits believe those comments played any role in Kawhi's leaving. Pop and co. made those comments out of spite since it was obvious Kawhi was leaving, but in doing so, gave Kawhi and his camp an "out" that they could spin to look like the good guys in the matter. That was the great fuck up of the organization in this regard.

[Capt Bringdown]

In this case, a low point is likely also a turning point. Spurs may not see another player of Leonard's caliber wear the Silver and Black for years, maybe decades to come.

I can accept the fact Kawhi wanted out of SA, and I can accept he would be traded.

But what fucking angers me to no end is the absolute shit we got back. We took back a guy who plays no defense, can't shoot a 3, got benched by his team in the playoffs for choking??? And suffers from manic depression. This has got to be one of the worst trades in NBA history. I wish we would of had a strong owner that would not have allowed Pop and RC to make that trade.
