Our Front Office……

[Atl Spur]

As time continues to pass, it is very clear that our front office operates on a different level than most franchises! NO, Hou, Dallas, Memphis are ALL shows as we just plod along in our “Boring” fashion. Enjoy the stability / standards of excellence we’ve created, it’s not the norm…..

[The Truth #6]

I think having owners that don’t meddle is 70% of it. If the owners are demanding quick success, then the GM’s have to make rash moves to try and present a scenario to keep their job or keep their job on as long as they can. Or just make bad draft picks based on the owner or owner’s failson. I think there’s actually a fair amount of talented and qualified general managers out there, but they just work in a ridiculous environment from these idiotic tech billionaire owners who had one good idea once but then it doesn’t carry over at all to owning a team because it’s a status thing. The spurs ownership group seems to be may be the poorest in the whole league, maybe that’s actually an advantage in some ways.

Landing DR, Tim and Wemby was genius.

Here's hoping they will surround Wemby as well as they did Tim.

That’s where they excel. Don’t underestimate that, because Dallas is currently failing to surround their star player.

Development is our calling card…

Barely months ago a lot of this board was like:

- Fire Pop, pop-a-zit, worst ever
- Fire Brian Wright, affirmative action woke hire, stupid, the worst ever

[daslicer]

I won't say the Spurs FO is great. We'll see how they do the next several years with Wemby.

Surrounding Duncan with....
Pops Pets 2009 2010 Michael Finley etc with virtually no help in the paint
Post Nephew show with Pet Bryn Bryn, etc.

Ya lets hope for the best.

FO has had many HUGE successes GNob, Parker, Robt Horry, lets hope they can do it again with this new cast.

[GAustex]

That Morris brother
Bertrans
And then to top it off
DeMarre Carroll move was pure brilliance

Not perfect but better than most!

Dejounte trade was pure genius!

[Dex]

Dejounte trade was pure genius!

In retrospect, it's looking better and better. If we hadn't traded Dejounte, we definitely would not have been in the Wemby sweepstakes.

Rumor mill has it that Atlanta is already considering moving on from Murray.

So long and thanks for all the picks...

In a sense their gross incompetence 2018-22.....
lead to the Wemby pick!

Myself I believe someone in ownership / mgmnt summer of 22 said we are not going to have another woke purgatory type b.s. season. You Pop are tanking for Wemby, and that is an order.

They basically said it, they were preparing in case of a hit in the lottery. They were trying to develop talent without tanking, which can kill development. Meanwhile they were creating assets and cap room

Extremely lucky Front Office

Kind of hard not to win when Robinson and Duncan fall into your lap.

[baseline bum]

Half the board still wants to fire Pop because they're snowflakes butthurt he doesn't like Trump

That’s not true….. plenty of franchises have had hof players and not won a damn thing. Stop with the over simplification( super lame ) perspective.

I've been a critic of PATFO for several years, but you have to give credit when earned. "That Morris brother" and "Bertrans" were the same deal. And if you can't trust a guy's agent (who subsequently fired him as a client) then it is damn near impossible to due business in the NBA. Sure, DeMarre Carrol was a show, but a really, really, really minor one in the scheme of things. I would say for the last 2 years they have been gold with trades and draft picks and signings. The only negative during the last 2 years of any significance was Primo, but that is dwarfed by the positives. For now they have earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

If Trump was an old black man, would those same followers still be acting so “Patriotic”? I think not…. At some point people gotta cut the BS!

Wemby and the Atlanta Hawks saved this front office ass

Imagine how this front office looks if we got the 5th pick instead of the the 1st pick

Former players beating porn stars and pulling they s out at work

Are we finally done paying Demare Carroll

Primo was not a miss due to basketball…. Furthermore pick 12 historically is not money in the bank!

You might want to do your homework sport regarding nba franchise salary caps and drafted players. Your position holds no water…..not a drop!

Winning early in Pop and Duncan's careers helped set the stage for hand-offs ownership. We've been successful because they are hands off, but they are hands off because we've been successful. It will be interesting to see how hands-off the ownership stays once Pop is gone. This ownership group hasn't had an opportunity to meddle, because Pop would probably quit if they did.

Never really understood (or understand) the Pop hate from Spurs' "fans".

But Wright had to win me over, though, I must admit. He constructed some pretty favorable trades the last couple of years that convinced me he's solid.
