Exactly. I'm quite shocked he chose the Warriors because of the beta backlash that would come. This guy truly is a beta. Would have been an Alpha on most other teams, but this stupid fucker went to the one team where he'd be a definite beta.Quote:

Spurs may not have any choice but to take a step back. You cant just invent players to sign. If Tim retires, Pau says no and SA has limited money (which is the case) there is literally nothing they can do.
I said worst case, if that happens, SA gets to see how GS looks and when they have a lot more FA's next year and more money to truly improve, they can go at it then.
Time to move on:
Spurs working out Lorbek

Wonder where Westbrook will go or if Presti will talk with him and see if he wants to abandon ship?
It's only 20 seconds, but wow, he looks stiff as hell.Quote:

You don't need to wait a year to figure out how GS will play. You know how GS will play now. Long and versatile 1-5. Green, Iggy, Durant, Klay, Curry will be utilized a TON.Quote:

I hope Gasol signs with Portland.
Duncan might as well just retire, since the ring will not be an option
When I read your comment, I was think "Well of course he does; he's 32 and hasn't played in two seasons." Then I saw that vid and we like, "Holy hell, that guy is barely moving."Quote:

:lol Bruh. Zaza makes no sense. Either go Pau and try to improve (regardless of fit vs GS) or just take some fliers on young upside and wait until next year to make big push.Quote:

The tank talk is just joking around, I'm sure.
The whole league is in tank mode. Kawhi and Aldridge are too good to miss the playoffs, even in the West.
What big push ? Westbrook wont come here, Griffin doesnt make sense. Spurs have to develop playersQuote:

Also, like I said, it's more about the spot SA is in. You cannot invent players to sign. You can only do what you have money-wise and player-wise to work with. Might be a year before SA can "get who they want" and I absolutely think watching GS for a year will influence the type of player they target.
all I'm going to say is aside from Boston in 2008, none of the super teams formed in this century have won a title in their first year. while this is a different scenario for sure I don't think it's a given they win in the first season. chemistry is real. and dominoes is the kind of player that will wilt under the pressure and venom from the media and fans. nothing is a given imo
That is what doesn't make sense :lol. It's literally impossible to tank with LMA/Kawhi/Danny. I maybe agree with signing younger players that don't eat too much into next year's space, but you can't tank.Quote:

Link? I heard LMA won't come to SA too.Quote:
