Meanwhile the rest of the NBA is getting stronger by signing excellent talent with their available dollars and the Spurs are wasting their future on turds like Vaughn and Bonner...
That's just fricking great.
:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss
:madrun
I'm officially pissed.
I 12% agree.
Yeah, quite.Quote:

That's about it.
Grant Hill > Vaughn+Bonner+Coyote.
Psst. The Spurs won the championship- in a sweep. Exactly how much better are you looking for? :)

Some people just cannot mask their disappointment in prematurely ordering their Fathead Grant Hill wall sticker.
When next April comes, you'll be touting "Spurs in four" again, Sequ.
:p:
The Spurs are going to role the dice and hope this current supporting cast can get it done again. Can't say i blame them we did go thru the playoffs quite easily.
:lol
So what. We still have Tim, Tony and Manu and Bowen. 3 championships in the past 5 years. And they are not done yet.
True!Quote:

Not to mention, the new salary cap isn't out just yet, so a team that's close to the cap can't just go out making deals without knowing what kind of money they have first.
Oh, and there's still trades to be made in the league, so we'll see what happens.
Again though, when your team just ate the opponents for lunch the way the Spurs did, why do you feel the need to sign big names? Everyone is trying to get better than you, because obviously no one was last year. Let them panic and sign their futures away.

Being at the top, somebody will try to knock us off, I'm counting on the silver & black
getting tired of the repeat championship mantra to the point where they will play hard after March to get the back to back monkey off their backs.

“They do a great job of their system and staying true to form,
making big plays in big moments,” Suns coach Mike D'Antoni
told reporters in Phoenix on Thursday. “That's what we're
trying to get. Mental toughness, being lucky, I don't know
what it is.”
The Spurs, D”Antoni added, just seem to “believe a little bit
more.”
“All the time,” he said.
people keep saying we have the big 3 but getting better talent would make it easier for the big 3
Who were we supposed to sign?
With the cap room available?
Who want to play in San Antonio?
Don't forget, what kind of assets do we have to get a great talent. And if we go after role players, what role players can we get that are better suited for the Spurs, that would negate the fact that a new player has to replace a player that knows this complicated system very well.
Trading Beno doesn't help because he won't get you a better backup in return. His value is low, and in this league, you get what you pay for.
About the only player I can see wanting to come back is maybe Stephen Jackson, but he's not available, and his contract is too much for the Spurs to pay right now if I'm not mistaken. Other than that, there aren't big moves to be made. And even with this team that needs to change, the Spurs were far and away the best team in the league last year.
Why the sudden need to keep up with everyone else. Everyone else needs to keep up with the Spurs. When you make changes to keep up with a lesser team, you'll end up like Dallas against Golden State.
You adjust when it's clear that adjustments need to be made. Until then, I don't see the Spurs making a big move. They've added some good young talent, and if it pays off, that's about all the tweaking we're going to see all year.
its fun to get new stuff. i agree.
that said, we do have a good squad. Id love to see a new face rip it up personally, but most people are right, i dont think its needed.

we have these "possibles" waiting in the wings, and whats even better than bringing in a big name, is "making" a big name out of someone who others threw away.
i look forward to watching some summer league action.
I have to disagree about the highlighted parts of the text. In this league you don't always get what you pay for, sometimes it's far from it :lol .Quote:

I don't think we should be desperate for changes, but a good change is always welcome. We shouldn't wait until things get ugly to start thinking about improvements.
Every year people whine that we don't make any big moves, and every year in the last 5 we have won a ring or gone bloody close... it gets a little tired. The biggest move we've made in that entire stretch was Hedo Turkoglu, and what a bust he was (he was the reason we crapped out in 2004 - he makes the odd 3 and we don't even need the TD shot to go up by one in game 5, the series is already over...)
We have two young swingmen in training in White and Williams, we have two young bigs in training in Butler and Bonner. We also have a bunch of Euros just waiting to come over and play for us, including two of the best bigs outside the NBA (at least one of whom will come over in 2008).
IMHO, all we need to call the off-season successful is a young PG like Dowdell to compete with Vaughn, and to rid ourselves of Beno somehow (he's had his chances, time for him to go somewhere else).
There is always a grand plan with the Spurs, and no doubt they are sticking to it.
The only team that's dramatically improved is Portland due to a lucky situation in draft picks (not counting Roy.) They're still a couple of years (maybe one) from making the playoffs. If we're healthy and Stern doesn't alter the rules to impede defense, we are still the best team bar none. The only pick up that make sense is Travis Outlaw - who else out there should we have picked up? Dallas will be good (bigger threat) and the Suns will be good, but at the end of the day they aren't better than us in the playoffs. Who's the real threat and why? Who has a better core than a healthy Tim, Tony and Manu?

Grant Hill sucks and so does the rest of the NBA. Well maybe not the rest of it but maybe this topic.
So the Celtics weren't a dynasty in the 80s? And the Lakers only went back to back in 87-88, so I guess by your rationale they weren't a dynasty either. :rolleyesQuote:

WTF are you doing here anyway? Your takes are crap, you have nothing to offer, and you're so clueless that you can't even spell "dynasty".

What a douche. Go take a walk, get a family, enjoy the offseason. I think it's time to step away from the computer.Quote:

IMHO, seeing what we have in White and Butler in the summer league is huge right now. I also agree with the Spurs FO on waiting for the right opportunity and spending cash wisely today for the future of the organization.
In other words, chill... :smokin :fro :king
The fans of every other team in the league would trade places with the Spurs, but you have to complain because the offseason is boring for you. It's ridiculous.

Not a bad plan actually. Win championships while staying under the cap. Sounds like the optimum plan ... Cost-effective, Performance-based Results.Quote:
