There’s Washed Up Role Player to the Spurs buzz

[kxs783kms]

Your core is 21 and younger with Harper. The Spurs play this right and we’re looking at another decade of being a serious contender.

Spurs fans thinking we're about to have 3 or more superstar players on the same team for a decade or more, has to be the funniest thing ever lol. It's like we're not paying attention to what's currently happening in the NBA right now. I guess we won't understand what's feasible until it's time to start paying these guys that second contract money. Some of us can see it and some can't.

1- The idea of having a young core that'd grow together into a contender is stupid, especially with today's CBA and coming from PATFO who's won with a mix of different ages/stages of careers.

It's working for OKC and Indianapolis. Small sample size, I'll admit.

2- As much as it entertains us we can forget/stop making threads about trading for a star player. It'll never happen.

3- PATFO sent the message "we like our young core" = They'll never quit on Sochan and Vassell, probably to not admit being wrong in their scouting or bad in their player's developments.

4- Let's not forget we have a rookie coach who by essence will cost the team with stupid decisions/mistakes he has to go through to learn his job.

5- I maintain that Wemby probably ended up in the worst franchise he could've ended with if his goal is to end up in the GOAT discussion.

6- you PATFO

We get a generation prospect two years ago, last year we drafted the ROTY at #4, we move up and snag the #2 this year to get what many are calling a potential superstar and on draft day this is what you post. You live a miserable life I feel sorry for you dude.

Both of those teams runs had just as much to do with luck than anything else. OKC would have lost to a healthy Nuggets team. Knicks eeked out two brain fart wins against the celtics AND their best player got a season ending injury. Celtics went 4 - 0 against the knicks in the regular season and completely smashed them in 2 of those games.

Part of the reason Thibs doesn't have a job is that both the players and front office of the knicks know that was pure luck and aint no way they can rely on that type of luck again. One of the best 3 point shooting teams of all time shot nearly historically bad on wide open 3's.

6 straight losing seasons.

What is more likely? Team who already has 6 straight losing seasons has another one? Or team who has 6 straight losing seasons has a winning season and makes the playoffs?

6 straight losing seasons.

What is more likely? Team who already has 6 straight losing seasons has another one? Or team who has 6 straight losing seasons has a winning season and makes the playoffs?

It depends on the cir stances obviously. Is it a team that has been improving with young players or a team with aging players who are past their primes?

This question makes no sense. What a team did 6 years ago with DeRozan, Aldridge, Patty Mills, etc., has absolutely zero bearing on what a team with Wemby, Fox, Castle, & others will do.

OKC will probably crush Denver in future playoff matchups; Indy is clear favorite in East with a healthy Haliburton. I'm firmly in thr corner of building a young core.

[Bill_Brasky]

34 wins with Wemby/Fox missing a lot of time and friendship krew having to play a lot gives me some hope. Add Harper, add a couple of decent FAs, and I think we can be a playoff team. But, it's gonna be ing tough out west. 2-8 seeds last year were separated by only a few games.

Mario Elie
Kevin Willis
Steve Smith
Jerome Kersey
Danny Ferry
Glenn Robinson

Which of the above washed-up role players would we go back and not acquire?

Young teams need to learn how to win. The Spurs legit need a starting caliber forward.

There isn't one way to build and win, it's all about cir stances, luck (Okc got Chet and JDub and it chnaged everything) etc

You feel sorry for what exactly?

Is it a game where I could feel sorry for you bc you feel sorry for me?

Grow up.

If you're happy with the scouting and players's developement I could feel sorry for you too.

Fun game

Every champion has some luck.

Absolute bull reasoning “well you can’t cite them they were lucky!!!”

You can keep Wemby forever, and Castle and Harper through their second contracts, so, like 8-9 years. Fox gonna have to go after his extension, though.

Sounds like you're predicting Harper and Castle or one or the other will be mediocre type players. Because there's no way you believe they're both going to be All-Star caliber players and sign cheap second contracts along with Wemby's massive contract. If they do pan out and you sign all 3, look for your remaining roster to be absolute trash lol. They definitely won't be a compe ive team with a trash bench.

I don't think I was all that excited about him, but he has been terrific for the team.
