<Insert Big Trade Proposal Here>

Wow I can't believe how pathetic some Spurs fans can be.... Trade Manu? All of you were ready to blow him after the OKC win and now he needs to go? Yes, the Spurs have problems and are not looking up to championship level but atleast have some sense in the ideas thrown out there. Parker needs to be sat until he is healthy no doubt about that. Mason while brings a scoring punch at times needs to be packaged in a trade with Ian. Bowen is old and would not help in any way and people need to let go. The problem is in the paint and the Spurs need a big to help in that area.

I agree that it is incredibly disheartening, but if you keep things in perspective, no matter how bad the outcome, I applaud what the Spurs did. Am I happy it is not working out? Absolutely not. But I understood that it was a possibility and even though I am surprised at how bad it is right now, I still think the Spurs took the right steps.

I will question things, but I won't be a spoiled fan that whines to the point where it is embarrassing.

It's not the piss poor interior defense, it's the lack of a pass-first point guard. Now i get it.

Thank you!

Yeah, I'm real "fickle.". I've been with this team since '75 you little douche. When you were cheering for the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, and Rockets I was with this team that was always going to relocate. Fuck you you fucking poser. Don't tell me I'm not a real fan. You don't know what it's like to me the fan of a team that doesn't have a legit title shot. I do.

Now bring me some coffee.

Fickle isn't the word for it, another F word is...(no, not that F-word, get your mind out of the gutter), I'm talking about frustration. Frustration because Spurs fans have been treated to and spoiled to an unparalleled run of consistency and success in the Duncan era and because of the fact that it looked like, on paper, this team had more talent than any other Spurs team in said era. So when people see them looking like arguably the worst team of the era, they (rightfully so) become frustrated. The truth is most fans (not all) are inherently fickle. And when I say "most fans", I mean across sports.

Only someone self conscious would think I was referring to them when I was not. Just so happens I posted it in this thread because some of the other posts.

LOL at defending your fandom while putting in random throw away lines like "when you were cheering for the Lakers....".

Oh yeah, get your own fucking coffee girl.

I applaud the FO for doing the best they can to make this team win a title this year. Dick and Dice have underachieved greatly this year which is why some fans are taking it too far by saying the FO sucks. That still doesnt excuse the lazy play of the team this year which is why im disappointed in them. They play like they give up on the season so thats why i feel that way.

That is perfectly understandable.

Don't post your weak ass bandwagoner shit in this thread and expect roses and daisies.

:cry Someone said something not even directed at me and now that I realize I look like an idiot, I have to keep going because my ego won't let me stop.

Can't trade the coach... This is NOT the Spurs system that won this team championships.
I completely think we have enough talent. They're simply not being held accountable on the defensive end, and the coach keeps on sending out weak lineups after weak lineups.
We know what it takes to win a championship. It's not a porous defense.

Wow, I didn't realize there was FO hate going on at all...definitely not their fault. That's why I'm sure that they are trying to figure out a way to find some glue for this team...great pieces but there is nothing hold it together, thus the inconsistency that will get us routed in the first round.

This team needs a personnel change ASAP. Options 2-4 aren't going to cut it offensively. The D is pedestrian. The window is closing.

It is still salvageable. This team has the ability, but can they turn that into something tangible? Not sure, but a trade for someone that can play inside defensively would go a long way.

I answer with another question, a more pressing and debatable question: is the coaching and FO realizing what any reasonable fan is? That the Spurs are still facing the same problems, and the same decline, they did last season and are trying to avert.

And the definition of fickle doesn't coincide with pointing out the fact Spurs haven't taken care of business this season.

How many posts does your ego have? Is there something wrong with what I said? If so, point it out and quit crying like a little sissy girl.

It's truely pathetic how little some know here.

Drop the rotation to 8. Duncan, Blair, McD, Manu, Hill, Jefferson, Bogans, Bonner

Rest Parker until the playoffs. The team goes no where unless he is 100% anyway.

Run the offense through Duncan. Post him until the opposition doubles then kick for the three or the drive. It alomost feels like Duncan fealt obligated to defer to Parker a year or two ago and Parker was the first option and they never reverted back to Duncan.

Duncan again becomes the first option, Manu the distributor and playmaker, Jefferson the number two being set up by Manu, Hill the pass first point, defensive specialist.

Can coaches be traded for players? I believe so.

Surely there are some delusional front offices who think like many a ST poster and site runners do, that being that Popped is among if not the best coach in the game.

Well, how about Popped for Bosh?

i did the like the rotations tonight hill starting with blair with manu/mcdyess and bonner off the pine but in the end it was the same result when it comes to 4th quarter basketball this team doesnt have what it takes to finish
