Wasn't someone claiming from his source LMA wanted to be traded again :lol

Seems like iv heard that somewhere before...
That seals it. He's going to Toronto.Quote:

Not too melancholy about not having Kawhi to deal with though.Quote:

What did they ask LMA at the end? Didn’t quite catch what was said.
LOL @Jabari rockin' the Malcolm X hat.
Gotta admit this media day felt very strange not seeing Manu, Tony and Kawhi. Happy for DeMar and Jacob, hoping they have a strong NBA season for Spurs.
:lmao @ Kawhi's media conference.. goofy ass bastard
This feels less like the spurs and now like a junior varsity team. We now have several former all stars from free agency or trade with home grown young talent. There's no middle core Spurs, it's a mercenary team. Once they start playing I'll be at home, but this still feels weird anti season

- It's funny hearing Pop talk about his concern about the defense, as if it just hit him or they had no choice. Maybe they shouldn't have let the Raptors, who were already going to win the trade by a landslide, have Green (instead of Gasol), but I guess that would have involved thinking; a foreign concept around these parts the past few years.
- On a related note, it's funny to hear Aldridge talk about being built to play big and small, when they're the antithesis of the latter.
- I get that Murray is trying to stay neutral, but it'd be nice if he either didn't comment or backed a (prestigious) organization that handed him a starting spot on a silver platter, when at least 27 other teams (Magic and Suns?) wouldn't have.
I know players height are listed barefoot in Europe, but it's still funny to see Gasol towering over Aldridge, yet being listed only an inch taller.Quote:

Already would have won the trade by a landslide..? You talk as if you still don’t realize that Kawhi’s trade value wasn’t that high. The situation was horrible for Spurs because he only wanted to go to LA and wouldn’t have signed anywhere else. Nobody wanted to give up much for him. If you didn’t hear.. Spurs asked for Simmons or Embiid. I’m sure they asked other teams for a lot too. Nobody was going to budge dude. I’m sure this was the best deal they could get to stay competitive. We already have found ourselves on the lucky side because we actually have a good core of young players that can develop into really good players. Murray, Walker, White, Poetl, Metu (some may not reach a very high level but the Spurs are way better off than a normal rebuilding team. They may not even have a real down year like the Suns for example.) Then we potentially have two 1st round picks next year. The team is set up nicely for the future while staying competitive. Mission accomplished. GS will break up soon.Quote:

I meant, I realize the Spurs weren't getting Anunoby or even Siakam and that the Raptors weren't taking Mills, but there's no reason Gasol couldn't have been in place of Green (Spurs could have also taken Richardson for financial purposes).Quote:

Given where they've picked, they've drafted well recently. But If neither Murray or Walker can become a star, this will more than likely be a treadmill team for the foreseeable future.
Pretty much this.Quote:

I personally wish they had just forced Kawhi to show up to training camp but I understand the trade.
