But most are armchair coaches and gm for many many years. We know better than them thanks to our internet. Those qualifications alone trumps(no pun intended) patfos 20+ years of REAL experience. Fire pop and rc!

I wasn't working the stands yo. It was NBA live 97 for Super Nintendo. And the game had every player except Michael Jordan. So guess what I did? I created Michael Jordan and gave him 99 in every category, because he's the GOAT. Then I went and swept everybody in the playoffs to win 5 championships back to back because I also stopped Jordan from retiring. So technically I got as many rings as Pop.

I dominated NBA live '00 with the Spurs but was ahead of times because I made Steve Kerr into a Stephen Curry type of player. Kerr's 3 point rating in the game was off the charts and he could hit 90 percent of 3's. So I would just jack up a bunch of 3's and win easily.

I agree to an extent with this sentiment. None of us here have been in a position to strategize a game plan while knowing exactly what cards you have in your hand so to speak. We don’t see the behind the scenes or the practices, or even locker room interaction. It’s hard as fans who only see the finished product of our team two to three times a week for 8 months.

But we’ve now seen a big enough sample size to know that Lonnie has earned big(ger) minutes, Forbes and Belli should get limited use (if any), and Forbes should go back to situational offense instead of having an unadulterated green light to toss up whatever hairbrained shot his reflexes shoot up. Call me a sniffer all you want, but even us sniffers are scratching our heads with some of the things going on here.

Ok, I don't usually well never actually blabber my mouth about any of this but I am tied to this organization and know of the inner workings of it. I will say this. They are AWARE of their flaws. They are weighing the options and may or may not pull the trigger before the trade deadline. But they are weighing the options, that is for sure. The main thing holding them back is there doesn't seem to be a clear cut team that is head and shoulders above the rest, so they feel if they can atleast grab that 8th spot, anything is possible. That is the main reason for them standing pat.

are they also aware of Pop throwing games? Or aware of Forbes not being a starter? Or aware that Metu could probably start and be better than Lyles? Or aware that a minor trade for a starter at SG or PF combined with better rotations would get them into the playoffs?

What about the San Antonio Spurs makes you think they do that? They don't think that way, and never did. They play their guys and always have.

Thank you, I was about to start a thread like this myself. There's so many 'experts' here sitting in their skidmark-stained drawers in their mom's basement deluding themselves into thinking they have any clue about coaching, being a GM, running an organization. Why aren't you so-called experts running your own club? We know why. Your elevator doesn't go to the top floor. You're a few crayolas short of a full box. When God was handing out brains, you were in the body odor line by mistake.

Surely these trout-mouths don't believe what they are spewing? Gregg Popovich is known as one of the greatest NBA coaches of all time, and by all accounts he is a great guy that cares first and foremost about his players developing as men and places basketball of secondary importance. 5 Championships, instant Hall of Fame.

But, 'experts' enjoy your little fantasy where you're the GM, buy and sell daily, trade players away to Siberia if they miss a free throw, wrap your lips around those blunts and inhale until your nostrils flare like Andre Drummond at a strip club. You da man!!!!

Carroll hasn't bought in I guess. He doesn't care and would not put in the work. That's why he's in street clothes while Keldon, Samanic and even WSpoon are suited up. I think Spurs need to move him and use that spot, but how when he's not even playing? I don't know.

Thanks for sharing. If true, this is very very sad. Hopefully they’ll learn a lesson after things don’t go their way again this year. If not, the next decade could be depressingly awful for spurs fans.

Every game that DeRozan shows out, I fear it's going to convince the FO that he's the team leader the Spurs need and we should extend him. Nothing farther from the truth - he's playing at his absolute peak right now and the only way, especially considering his age, is downwards. Trading DeMar at the deadline would be the smartest move this FO could make, and it will probably never happen

You are right. Just because it’s depressing to think otherwise, I’m still holding onto hope that the FO makes the right call for the franchise and moves on. If it turns out that they don’t, I’ll definitely have to re-evaluate how I spend my time and money.
