Re: A Tribute to the Players Lost During Free Agency
The good thing about it is that none of the departed went to most hated or current rivals.

Great supporting cast with a lot of memorable plays. Good job. Would preferred a different sound track though.

Re: A Tribute to the Players Lost During Free Agency
I wish we could have kept Cojo and Splitter. Good guys and real professionals. I feel good for both guys though. Cojo deserved a bigger role and more money. He got both in Toronto. Plus I still get to watch him a lot since I'm from Canada and I like the Raptors. Spurs did good for Splitter as well. Sending him to a winning team and to a coach who he's already familiar with.
Its amazing to see that the Spurs also look what's best for the player when they trade them. They traded George Hill to Indiana. A team that was pretty good at the time and also he's hometown. Now they traded Splitter to Altlanta, one of the best teams in the east.

I'm really going to miss Tiago. I actually considered him a friend. I guided him on three different bird hunting excursions. He would come out solo, so we actually got to talk alot. The first time, it litterally felt like a first date with a gorgeous girl, but he was such a good dude that all that nervousness went away pretty quick. We wound up swapping numbers, occassionally texting me when he had extra seats to a game. There goes that hook-up

Nice video. Im glad you added Bonner's music video. Despite how frustrated I would get with some of these guys I loved Ayres, Baynes, and Corey's reactions on the bench. They were always the first to jump up and scream after a fast break dunk, alley oop, etc.
I thought Marco brought some intensity to the team too. I remember after Marco hit that 3 in OKC in game 6 he looked at the bench and yelled. Great intensity. Also that dunk he had against Philly. As well as the 3's against the Clips.
I always remember that game Tiago had against Dallas. Great passing and great defense in that game, also loved that emotion he showed on that and-1 he got. Also loved how he got revenge against the Heat.
I'll remember Baynes for that game he had against Portland. On that putback dunk he had, he completely pushed Lillard out of the way.
Also have to love how Joseph posterized camping Ibaka. "Serge, Serge, Serge."
For Ayres the only thing that comes to mind is that dunk he had courtesy of Timmy.

Re: A Tribute to the Players Lost During Free Agency
Great job. These guys gave us all that they had and helped win another championship after the disastrous 2013 loss. For their part in that, they will always be part of the Spurs family and history.
It goes without saying that the Spurs family of players, coaches and administration will miss them. I know they will remember the city of San Antonio and our fans with affection for all the support we gave to them.
It's not a goodbye, just "Hasta la vista"

They traded Malik Rose to the fucking New York Knicks, who won all of 30 games that season and the next year combined. So there goes that argument

Re: A Tribute to the Players Lost During Free Agency
I was hoping the spurs would end up keeping Joseph but I'm happy for him for getting that great contract.

Re: A Tribute to the Players Lost During Free Agency
With TP declining, too bad they couldn't keep Joseph.

Joseph had to go. He developed into too good a player to be stuck as a third point guard and I'm happy to see him in Toronto where he can get lots of minutes. It's like I felt about Budenholzer, I hated losing him but he was way too good to just be an assistant coach. Or how I felt about Presti.
I would have loved to have had Baynes back, but how was he going to turn down that huge contract Detroit offered him?
Belinelli I can live without. His defense was awful and while he is an amazing shooter, he doesn't do enough well to make up for his defensive shortcomings. I could live with Brent Barry getting destroyed by opposing guards since he had such strong point guard skills that paid off bigtime in some of the most important games in franchise history. But Marco was never Brent Barry.
Ayres wasn't any good. Just a gamble that never paid off.
It kind of pisses me off that Splitter was so injury prone. He was/is a very good center and great in the Spurs system. The fact that he couldn't be relied upon from a health standpoint is what made him expendable. A big part of our downfall in '15 was the fact that he was injured most of the year and throughout the post season.
