this offseason, what underwhelming and disappointing moves do they make / not make?

[gambit1990]

hopefully the spurs' offseason doesn't consist of maxing demar and resigning forbes for $8 million a year... then running it back :lol

[Ignazzz]

WTF is wrong with Brian Wright's Eybrows? Alopicia? It can't be from fighting that Urkel doughy lookin fuck isn't gettin into scraps.
He try to get AD from free agent market.

[slick'81]

of the four he and pop have the most punch-able faces


Id def say rc

[cd021]

Brian Wrights track record has been pretty bad. The Kawhi trade is case and point tbh.

the dude spent two years working for the pistons and worked for the magic before then :lol

front offices usually take members from somewhat successful / up and coming organizations... wtf...

Oh, get serious. Brian Wright is nobody. As long as Pop is around, Wright can't go to the men's room without raising his hand.

Its been reported by several people that he took the lead on the Kawhi trade...

[Twisted_Dawg]

What is scary is that Peter Holt is so young and inexperienced that he will be played by Pop and RC, and buy into their rebuild plans. He's not like some grizzled self made billionaire who came up learning how to discern bullshitters and fire people.

[ginobilized]

Get Jae Crowder and bench him for a year. That sounds like a good off-season.

[JeffDuncan]

Its been reported by several people that he took the lead on the Kawhi trade...


No, it has not. It's been reported in a media puff piece that he was allowed to answer the phone.

[K...]

Most bad teams like sacto and NYK have a powerful owner and it's probably a punch in the gut to see spursfans berate their historically successful front office. The only real influence of Holt has been "go cheap" which is the same as phoenix yet SA made it work the Suns have not yet. The teams who can improve through trades are those who know what they need and are willing to pay the price to get trades. SA doesn't know what's going on, and wants to be cheap.


The first role of the team is to sell tickets, which requires "stars" and you can see this team panic about having to sell tickets through a down period. But i don't think they are being obtuse about their place. Right now there's no real need to do anything drastic, the moves they can do are the same as what happens in the summer and even the difference between letting the big two leave without a trade and "blowing it up" are pretty similar.



Finally, we should talk about what "blowing it up means" because to many people it means trading derozan for some sad sack player to continue the muddled direction of the team. Blowing it up should mean trading murray, white, poertle, and maybe lonnie. I see few people trying to minmax a true tank. So anyone who wanted a trade for non-all star, non lottery talent should use "spinning the wheels" instead.

Honestly the sky isn't falling as much as the forums think it is. It's becoming evident we're not going to be a playoff team this year, but if we miss the playoffs then the wheels might as well fall off as the season comes to an end then we get a higher draft pick and it should be CLEAR who we can and can't keep. Not into the idea of resigning Forbes but at the very least he's played himself out of any kind of real payday.

a higher pick is good but i haven't seen optimistic signs of PATFO doing things better in general going forward...

[gambit1990]

changes have to be coming this offseason, right? or is pop gonna rely on internal improvement again? :lol

[gambit1990]

la will ask for a trade this summer.

inb4 PATFO move him for mason plumlee and will barton :rolleyes

[slick'81]

But after two games everyone was sure dejounte was a beast and we were on our way to the post season again

[Prime BEEF]

They’ll run this same team back next year...minus Poetl as they won’t want to pay him.

Geez. Pop will probably give them their extensions, then retire and then give the fans the bird as he walks out

this offseason, what underwhelming and disappointing moves do they make / not make?

I predict RC will chew through his bindings with those rodent teeth and escape the franchise. Then Gregg will do the USA basketball thing and try to coach another season but maybe step back near Christmas to let Becky take over. The other two will be basically props.

[DMC]

What is the record of other "playoff streak keepers"?

Anybody looked into it?

Utah had 20

Philly/Syracuse(total bullshit to me) with 22

each franchise entered into a 4-5 year period of Shit

Even if you count the teams periods of dominance where they missed one or two years within that time span, once its over its followed by a long period of being CRAP. Dallas, Lakers, Boston all became bottom feeders.

As others have pointed out the fickle Cowboys Cultist who've been masquerading as spurs fans in FatAntonio ain't gonna support a loosing period off 4 years...
ergo, it is SKY IS FALLING the Spurs Franchise is on the Precipice looking down into a period where they will become sit loose support of the Cowboys Cultist and LEAVE the city.

You even using the "if we miss the playoffs"
These other teams allow their Gangrene infected limb to be amputated and they qualified for medicaid which eventually netted them some pretty good solutions. The Spurs keep dragging that dead limb along trying to show up to a party when they cannot dance because hey, post season tickets! The demise of the big 3 and then Danny and Kawhi's departure should have initiated the self destruct sequence but the hobbled franchise keeps trodding along like a fucking zombie waiting for some living being to put an arrow through its head.

Patty Mills is the only one left from the 2014 team. Everyone else was either foisted upon us or some obscure acquisition or hopeful due to someone else retiring or being forced to retire due to injury. I mean, Tony was starting with some of the worst playing of his career. How can you expect a Frankenstein team like that to do anything? It seems like a sham.

Spurs should of hired bud when atl let him go but pop wasnt ready. Rc is now head of spurs sports and whatever so were left with brian 5'4 wrong

yeah, they should have. i really underestimated bud tbh. i should've known the hawks were flaming out in the POs because their rosters were just never that good.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Couldn't Brian Wright have found a better than one with his tongue sticking partway out like gotdamn autist?!! WTF?!!

That's a group more suited for radio.

Could be a ploy to get Kawhiet Earp back

[Arcadian]

This franchise is so fucked right now

I always assumed the franchise would be a dumpster fire after Tim retired. At least we got the 67-win season and a WCF appearance.

We were screwed the min kawhi opted out and we were stuck with derozan tbh

[DPG21920]

What is crazy is how TOR survived losing Kawhi. No DeRozan and no Kawhi/Danny and they are rolling. SA loses Kawhi and gets DeRozan and tanks? Ok.

They were a good team before they got those guys .. It’s pretty much the 2018 raptors with Siakam in Demars role ..

They kept gasol,siakam,lowry,vanfleet and og not a bad core tbh. Its not like losing poodle who barely played, and a guy who couldnt get them over the hump was going to set them back much

Spurs made the playoffs without Kawhi and DeRozan...

when the front office is competent, no excuses are needed for bad moves, look at what Sean Marks did with the worst situation in history, in spurstalk people will be blaming Kawhi for the current situation of the team until 2030.

Nail on the head...when one player can break a franchise,that speaks for incompetence...even the bulls were still a good team when Jordan retired the first time

Calling PATFO incompetent after ONE losing season is a little premature, don't ya think? And exactly how many championships has Marks won with Brooklyn? That team looks great on paper, but Kyrie Irving is injured once again and can't seem to get along with his teammates, no matter what team he goes to. And Kevin Durant will be attempting to come back from a major injury that use to end player"s careers, all the while attempting his comeback on the wrong side of 30. Can a older Durant, coming back with a repaired achilles, carry a team to a championship? They have some nice, young, pieces in Dinwiddie, Harris, and Allen, but that team hasn't done shit.

This is what Champ Champ Champ Champ Champ Champ's do

Poop chooses to play washed vets and never gonna bee's like Bryn cause "its the right thing to do"

I believe that RC the Scouts and the Development team have provided "groceries" for POOP he just left them on the shelf to rot in favor of "the right thing to do"

How is JaMychal Green been doing lately?

Overexaggerate much? He's played the young guys this year. Not soon enough for your liking, or long enough? Probably.

[RC_Drunkford]

they have a better coach. Flopovich would send Siakam to the G-League to get over himself

that team was the worst team in the NBA and had no draft picks left before Marks got there. They made the playoffs last year. That's a huge improvement. Meanwhile Flopovich turned a 67-win team into a 35-win team over 3 years with super idiotic offseason moves.

[RC_Drunkford]

nah it was clear in 2015/16 that once Duncan retires this franchise's run will go on for another 10 years if nephew doesn't foce his way out. More than that the Spurs got even more younger pieces after that season in DJ and White. Spurs would've been a contender until 2025 the least. The writing was on the wall after the 2017 offseason that this franchise is ran by some old folks who belong into a foster home

"Super idiotic offseason moves"? be more specific instead of the drama queen, overexaggerated take.

i actually feel like they won't disappoint...
