Spurs needs to tank hard and target Wembanyama un 2023

[heyheymymy]

Wait there is a Wemby brother!?

Ready for this Oscar/Victor front court, 2030s spurs dynasty. Hologram Pop.

[Chomag]

I'm down for a Wemby family lol

[Thomas82]

Sweet. If we miss on his bro odds are we'll still be a very high lottery team in 4 years.

Yeah, I'll definitely take those odds.

Yeah, and he plays for ASVEL now.

He's playing for ASVEL now too, so I would think the Spurs have the scoop on him too.

I should probaly stay away from this but for the sake of it, it is true there's a couple of guys here who don't come to really debate about spurs or care about others take but to systematically inveigh, aggress, insult, bully everybody and anybody, including anything spurs, just following the "you're all a bunch of dumbasses, I'm a ing genius' mantra..."

I tought we were past that nowadays, but since there's no point arguing with these kind of guys, the only answer is: "ignore button". Crazy how it cleans the chat.

I’d love an ignore THREAD button.

There’s always a ty brother that you have to accommodate for your Star. I think Greek freak has two.

[KingKev]

Lol some of you post stupid takes vehemently and get caught in horribles takes easily verified by google. Who is ignoring who?!? It is fun to clown on clowns

The dumb-assess who make everything about politics like B2B are a different kind of stupid.

Was completely ignorant to his existence until this thread. And it sounds like he may be good too. Awesome.

[offset formation]

My view is that this place is finally largely, or at least more often than not, about basketball nowadays.

There was a time back around 2015 or so that this board was chock full of the most childish and immature posters I'd ever run across in my time in fan forums. And fan forums are generally chock full of that kind of person anyways.

And I think that the reason it's not as bad as it used to be is that you now have to be an actual fan (instead of a bandwagoneer of the Big Three era) to still root for the Spurs, who let's face it, have been anywhere from mediocre to now full on sucking for the past 5+ years.

I get your point about there being an underlying mean-spiritedness in some posters but such is life, right?

As for any political stuff, I'll acknowledge my own willingness to chop it up here once someone makes an ignorant (often times demonstrably false) comment, but I never start the road to a political discourse. And I think the board generally veers away from politics here because there is another forum for that here anyway. But given the times, it's almost fantasy to assume politics won't rear its head in the rest of society, including in this forum.

The last few weeks of the season some of you are going to need blood pressure medication. When other teams start to shut down for the playoffs or enter tank mode and the Spurs start picking up trivial wins. Should be a good time around here.

I’m cautiously optimistic about a bottom four finish.

Our only hope is that Orlando continues winning at a decent clip to stay in the top 4 because I think you're dead on accurate that we will pick up stupid wins at the end.

What's scary is if that ball hits on one of the lower lottery teams in the 7 or 8 range. I think OKC or even Orlando could be scary good if they manage to get Wembanyama.

Or doomsday for the NBA is if the Lakers stay in the lottery and the Pelicans (owning Lakers pick) manage to get him.

No one is catching us from behind, and we aren’t catching any of the terrible three. We will finish in 4th position. It’s far too late to start tanking now, and certainly too late at the deadline.

I’d prefer you leave politics out of it but people like you are content to make this place as miserable as possible. You’re a starter and for no good reason other than you’re a miserable asshole who isn’t happy unless you’re making other people miserable.

For sure you’re someone’s or multiple peoples whipping boy in real life. This is your outlet right? Get walked on in real life so chest thump from behind a screen to make yourself feel better.

Little cuck .

silence is violence.... stand up for your freedoms and fight against evil. fighting for the right to live in peace is not politics.

[Thomas82]

There have been some whispers that he could possibly be better than Victor, but we'll have to wait and see how he develops.

Are you aware this is a basketball forum? Kinda seems like you haven’t figured that out. I don’t know what it is with you people and your sense of en lement but the entire world is not your toilet to in whenever it pleases you.

Ironically you’re the same group whining about ca-ca culture. Read the room . Talk basketball and find a more appropriate platform for the other .

I wish the Spurs can coax the Suns to make a trade for a unprotected first rounder. The Suns under James Jones haven't been interested in building through the draft that much and maybe if they can be tempted to trade for Josh Richardson and give up a 1st rounder.. there is a good chance that it could help the Spurs get another lottery pick to improve their odds a bit more.

[jjspur]

I like Richardson, decent offensively and defensively but unfortunately he doesn't fit the spurs timeline being a slightly older player. That being said, he's a valuable vet just probably more valuable to a veteran playoff bound team. Not sure he's seen as worth a #1 pick but he should be worth 2 number 2 picks. Lots of variables in trading a player, salary probably being the most important. Most teams don't have cap space and the few that do are in the same boat we are, trying to get the best deal on a player who for whatever reason doesn't quite fit. Many teams could use his services, but its what we get back which is the hard part. We'll see what happens come the deadline. Wish him the best whatever happens as he's been one of the better surprises for the spurs this season.

If we can get a FRP for the #38 pick and the corpse of Thad Young last year, we should hold out for one for JRich.

France is stacked ! We’re going to dominate Basketball for decades !

That was a time when posters delighted in calling each other f****t all the time. Being very racist. Crude, incel, alt-right stuff. SpurTalk had a reputation for being a cesspool. I remember confronting Timvp about it, but he seemed to really revel in awfulness. I've long thought he's kind of a childish edgelord, but maybe he's matured.

It's much better now. I don't mind ripping on each other. It was the disgusting alt-right that was dragging the site down.

This X 1,000,000,000. Spot on accurate take on the incel, phobic, racist, and alt-right nonsense.

And it's disappointing to hear that timvp evidently authorized that , however passively. This place was reflective of the worst of fandom and I'm glad it's changed. Just hope it stays that way if we start winning again.

It's why I get a chuckle out of folks saying the board is in a bad place currently. This place is high-minded in comparison.

It’s better in the regard that less people come here because the teams not performing well. If they were playing playoff ball we’d have a lot more malcontents here.

You guys are right about one thing. The far right, racist phobic group is the problem. It always comes from that group.
