The team isn't tanking
Memphis is missing Winslow, JV, and Jaren Jackson Jr. They haven't played in two weeks. They just beat us over the weekend so it's not like we aren't on high alert and haven't already made adjustments. And they still came into our building and gave us everything we could handle.
If we are not even better than a short handed Memphis team, it might be time to tank. I'm sorry. We can nab one of Cade or Jalen Green and set our franchise up for the next 15 years like Phoenix has with Booker or Memphis has with Morant or Dallas with Luka.
The team isn't tanking
Not deliberately.
We’re not gonna tank but we will probably end up with a decent pick again.
They'll "tank" to 0.500 and then start winning again, rinse and repeat.Not deliberately.
I prefer the term “developing our youth”. But in reality, less minutes for our vets could translate to more wins. I mean, it’s probably 50/50. What I’m also saying is, unless they play a ton of Eubanks, Tre Jones, and Quindarry, I’m not sure there is an obvious path to tanking. Which is why I prefer to prioritize our young core and see what happens.
Memphis is scary deep when they get healthy! Their rookies even play with poise..... I really want to see Dejounte Murray take his place in the conversation of top guards; the top guards murder him!! Lonnie and demar to Atlanta for Collins huerter & filler works for me. Boston can have Lamarcus & Rudy; patty where ever...... need high IQ players that play hard even if making mistakes.
I've said it since pre-season:
When people were expecting this team to be a bottom 10 team before the regular season even started, I said, "You find out what the team's true iden y is after 15+ games in."
And lo and behold, I was right and cliffjumpers were wrong. The team was better than expected by cliffjumpers and I can now have an informed opinion about what the Spurs are after 21 games:
1. they are not a bottom 10 team.
2. They will win against good teams, and lose bad against bad teams
3. At worst, they're a 0.500 team. At best? It's hard to know.
Can we trade poop?
Yes, for draft picks.
Coc Rivers was traded for a 1st round pick.
You'd figure from all the terrible takes on here before the regular season, that you'd see some humility from these same folks before they start spewing nonsense. But no. Very short term memory when they're wrong.
God yes. I’d take a bad contract in return at this point to rid us of the fossil
Hard to tell how good this Memphis team is and how truly bad this Spurs team is. It could be a case where the Spurs just don't match up well with Memphis. Every now then there is a team that has your number regardless of who is on the court. That might be the case with Memphis. The next 7-10 games will reveal to me what type of team this current spurs team is.
What I REALLY want to know is why we should take a person's word when they didn't expect much from this team to begin with? Like, you're over here saying the team would be better if they did x, y, and z... Mother er, you didn't even think they would be as good as they are now. Why's your point valid?
Seems like those mother ers were right lol
Some perspective...
Miami lost to Charlotte tonight and are sitting at 7-13. They were the ECF champs. Whose fans should be more disappointed? Theirs or ours?
We were supposed to be a lottery team. We have been over achieving. At least we ain’t the Mavs who are considered le contenders lol. Waisting another year of Luka’s career.
This season is a win win tbh. Win and make the playoffs. Lose and get a nice pick!
As I said before, the team's floor is 0.500
As for the team's ceiling... I'm holding out hope that one or a couple of these vets get traded by the deadline, which will raise the team's ceiling.
Clearly ours... we're 11-10 and have a ceiling of first round fodder, which means a good but not great pick.
And unlike Miami, we've been dog for 3+ seasons now, we needed to start tanking like yesterday.
Did Miami tank for any of their players?
Miami was not dog in 2017 and 2018? 2017, they lost in the first round, in 2018 they didn't go to the playoffs.
The are you saying, dude?
"Clearly"
Some of y'all are so focused on the Spurs that perspective and facts are lost on you.
That's exactly the way I look at it. These losses don't get to me since the Spurs are not a le contender and when they win it's just bonus. I actually enjoy the meltdowns here more so after losses then wins just for entertainment purposes.
Miami has a good coach
Spurs got one guy who can shoot lights out 3 ball and he is a midget. LMA maybe but he wears concrete sneakers
Miami fans can look back at last year and get excited about something. Our fans? They been counting the hours until Poops calls it quits and we step down from this threadmil of being good enough to whiff on good picks while sucking enough not to be contenders. Literally the worst place to be in this league, with the sole exception of Dan Gilbert being the owner of your team.Did Miami tank for any of their players?

lmao @ "at best, it's hard to know"... tbh, you should ask the mods to change your name to "Bad takes" and hopefully never post again after that.
