Nah, it's bull to compare the two FOs. The situations were completely different.
That's not to say the Memphis FO has been bad or the Spurs one has been good. But it's apples and oranges here.
Damn, I hope the Spurs do something. I don't really care about the team, but, would love to see a player with acting chops in the HEB commercials.

Was it? They had two guys in Conley and Gasol that they clearly needed to move on from. The comparison is closer than you think.
I guess. They definitely need more scoring after this move. I’m sure Parker was 2nd or 3rd in points on this team.
Maybe Atl will trade dedmon to Hou?
At a minimum we better hear from Brian Wright. He can’t hide. Even if no trades were workable he has to send the message that they aren’t satisfied with these types of results and will continue to pursue making this team better for the future. He can’t hide.
Pissing in the wind. ST is full of guys who still believe Dumbmar and LMA are worth building around.
This is exactly why I have become a casual fan and I am turned of from this team. Cannot take more Bryn Forbes is Steph Curry from Pop, or we like what we have, we don't make moves by the trade deadline etc. Sorry to say. I still follow the Spurs from afar and I hope changes are in the horizon but I am turned off and have been turned off from the past couple of years. Still care enough to watch a highlight here and there, or a game here and there, but not like I used to. Damn that is an awful FO. I hope they can turn this around this summer bc they aren't doing anything midseason.
Oh hide behind pop&rc
And I'll continue to never understand.
So let me get this straight...... you guys are comparing our franchise to Memphis with a straight face? In order for them to get the second pick they had to be trash! Let’s tank so we can get our Ja! Clowns.
Is missing the playoffs with nothing to show for it that much better?
Exactly.
Spurs. = Missing the playoffs. A 13-14 pick in the weakest draft ever. No future whatsoever.
Memphis = missed the playoffs. Got a rookie of the year. Making playoffs right away. Bright future.
in the end, they both missed the playoffs. One did it the right way though.
Even if the Spurs get a top 2 pick, PATFO will that up too. Probably gonna draft a Kwame Brown or Anthony Bennett.
Iggy has a better reputation than Gay.
Because I don’t think Rudy is good and he’s completely washed now?
Iggy also had half a season to rest. Gay already looks gassed.
Winslow for Iggy doesn’t work salary wise I think. Who else is involved here?
He saying that Iggy was better than Gay last year which is false. Iggy will be a bum this year probably worse than Gay but then people will make excuses for him because of his reputation.
This is revisionist history. rUDY gya sucks now but to act like he was never a good player is wrong.
Yeah because they’ve done that before........comical! Same dudes will be d_ck riding soon as the arrow points up!smh.
He was - but even last year I was luke cool on his new deal. But I’m assuming with what I’ve seen Iggy will be better than Rudy. Both over pays though
I'm not in compliance with everything the FO has done but yeah some of these dudes don't have the right to call themselves fans once they do make it back up.
All he needs to do is hit threes, play multiple positions, and not be a sieve on defense. Gay these days only plays multiple positions...poorly. And that's because he cant do the other two.
Iggy will be fine. His demise is greatly exaggerated.
Plus, they moved to trade Gasol and Conley midseason once they knew that they were not enough as tandem to take them into the playoffs. They got new FO personnel too and a new coach. They bid farewell to their former franchise guys with affection too. There wasn't any need to refer to "dump" anyone. It was just acknowledged that they had done everything that they could for the two of them and between the Conley injuries, the terrible Chandler Parsons deal and the rest of their guys getting old (ZBo and D-first team Tony Allen) their window had passed. They actually suffered more as a fanbase in those years they tried to build around an injured Conley and their guys getting old, than they are suffering once they decided to finally rebuild tbh.
I think the Spurs are in a similar situation now and they could have blown it up midseason once they knew LMA/Demar weren't enough. There is a possibility that this draft not having a Zion or Morant, or a Doncic/Young/Ayton/Jackson etc is staying their hand. It's possible.
I have always believed they should have rebuilt when Kawhi left. It just so happened that Manu also retired that season and Tony went elsewhere (plus Danny was dealt). It was the perfect moment to rebuild with a blank slate and with some very interesting franchise players coming up in the pipeline of the draft they could have rebuilt already. I have shut up bc 1. its annoying to complain all the time, and 2. have to respect them competing last season although it was underwhelming. But I preferred them to have rebuilt and didn't like the DeRozan trade on that basis to begin with.
Sucks that this draft is not projected to be great, but they aren't getting in the top anyways. Maybe it will take them a few years to finally find their next franchise guy the way they aren't showing any hurry.
For those of you who are still expecting PATFO to make a deadline trade, do you also keep watching Charlie Brown hoping he'll finally kick that football that Lucy place holds for him?
