This hasn't been a debate since 2014. Wouldn't even have PATFO in the Top 10 list of FOs anymore.

Spurs are missing 2 of their best players.Quote:

:lol I didn't know adding Durant was a small right move. Warriors are unstoppable right now mainly because they added Durant. They haven't made any other great moves. Spurs did screw up Mills and Gasol signings.Quote:

When you said "set to pay a Fat declining ___", I was thinking of 4 players.Quote:

Parker hasnt been one of the best players in over 3 years. And no, a 6 game flash in a pan sample size does not count.Quote:

Play the players that have the higher ceiling now and hope they progress from now til May...without a huge trade ..that is their only hope.Quote:

Who would trade for the bum now? Not only is he fat, can't run an offense, and plays no D, but he can hardly shoot or finish at the rim anymore.Quote:

Patty and a 2nd to Minny for Aldrichs expiring + filler.Quote:

I doubt Minny would take the crap Mills contract for Aldrich, maybe the Spurs would have to add a pick. I hope it would happen though.
Maybe in the summer a pick or two could get that last year of George Hill who is also playing poorly but still light years ahead of Mills. Can't really work this year because of the tax screwing up the amount the Spurs can take back.
I think I'd even be okay with sacrificing Murray to get off that Mills deal. It sounds bad, really bad. But Mills is that corrosive. Just start White and give Parker a Manu level deal to scrub around off the bench.
If Patty isn't traded, he's playing over every guard not named Parker or Danny.
At this point in his career, Pop doesn't give a shit about best players who can produce. It's about tenure and who is being paid more to play. And he's gonna ride or die with those guys.
If they don't win, it won't bother him one bit.
Pretty obvious there was zero analytical input/scouting that was taken into consideration when they broke the bank for these two turds-- just like any other dumb, antiquated FO operation..
Pop just signed two guys he could have a glass of wine with talking Catalonia separatism, aboriginal culture and other controversial issues in foreign lands.
PATFO needs to go. With their decision-making, this team could be in deep trouble.Quote:

Clearly didn't pick him because his brashness doesn't fit their precious culture.Quote:

You and me both. Cut Brandon Paul and bring him up.Quote:

I don't think that was it. There were no red flags regarding his character.Quote:

Fuzzy Lumpkins, Nathan89, Russ, Mr Body and others... might want to pay closer attention next time.
I know, but to Spurs, brashness is a red flag and unlike Murray, Bell's is extroverted. He's too demonstrative and overt for their taste.Quote:
