SA let’s LMA go for nothing and helps MIA. They do a stupid trade just to help GS and owners. They don’t extend DDR and then don’t trade him.
How did it become so acceptable to be so inept and listless and directionless?
that‘s exactly what you should be expecting with an increased salary for the old guysTruly wonder what the Spurs will be up to this summer. Running it back with everybody?

Thanks to a fanbase that would gladly eat any sandwich they're given. Only a matter of time until hits the fan and the franchise is sold and moved.
Its ny knicks level of ineptness.buy hey holts saved 7 mil...
i didn't think it was a bad pickup tbh.
and then i found he'd be out for the season
The western conference Knicks
For the record, this trade was about a 1 out of a scale to 10 before the Aldridge news. After the Aldridge news, it's still only about a 2 or a 3.For the sake of the fans, hopefully there's a domino we don't quite see yet like Aldridge giving back more than expected ... but even that doesn't really alter the match of this trade
We'll see what happens going forward. There's a chance it all ends up making sense. But there's also a chance that this trade turns out to be the first hint that ownership is going to be hurtfully frugal going forward.
At least the NY media calls them out on their mistakes. The sports media in San Antonio is terrified of Pop and his regime. It's nothing but puff pieces about classiness, culture, and wine.
One tidbit I've just been told that I'm not even sure how to factor into the equation: Chriss' contract might be covered by insurance since he's out for the season. So ... I don't know if that means the Spurs can't waive him if they want his contract covered by insurance. I also don't know if that means that the Warriors didn't give the Spurs any extra money in the deal since the profit would come via insurance.
If the Spurs are stuck using a roster spot on him, that makes the trade even worse, IMO.
We have to accept that our FO is incompetent... Duncan hid it because no matter what crappy moves they did, we still won... But once he got older, u couldn't hide how bad they were... Other teams would have gotten a ton of picks by now... We traded a too 5 player for a loser and a first rounder... While other teams get several first round picks for less... We didn't trade gay for 2 2nd round picks? DeMar is playing us into the lottery again and more likely than not wants out, but we are keeping him around for what? To leave for nothing? We aren't a FO destination...
We gave Gasol a loyalty contract for snubbing us to go to the bulls when he was younger, just to come to us and stink it up when he was washed? We extended LMA who didn't wanna be here knowing his production would fall and he would be a hard sell later on... We overpay Mills for being a nice guy? We got duped in the Bertans situation... We overpay a guy that same season to keep him on the bench and end up buying him out... Wtf is going on in that front office?
Maybe they will cut Lyles but overall i agree with you. We'll see if something happens next days.
Spurs unable to waive Chriss combined with Aldridge only giving back $2.7 million would make this the worst trade deadline in Spurs history. Holy is that bad
A lot of wine drinking and talks about things that are bigger than basketball
Whoever's been signing off on trades and free agency these past two seasons has to go. If it's Brian Wright, he has to go. If it's Pop, he has to step back. The past two years have been a straight up disaster for free agency and trades. It makes me worry about what they'll do this summer.
2 2nd rnd draft picks for Fournier, Spurs coulda dun that!!
Shoulda dun that!
Ehh Spurs Management and GS management are close. Could have been as simple as GS asking SA to do them a solid while also getting to make some $ in the mean time. Don't understand the big freak out when there's no pattern of these type of moves. I believe Charlotte literally did the same thing.
Having a terrible FO wouldn't have anything to do with this move. This would be a move initiated by ownership.
His contract is expiring this year and he’s a mediocre player. Celts got worked on that one.
Thanks for this info. Any chance they wanted to just get a look at Chris? Any chance they like him? I doubt it but who knows. He’s an athletic big and the team needs prospects... otherwise this whole thing doesn’t make sense to me...
Which is bad news for the FO tbh
