My point is we needed a scorer not a Mason type player. We made an offer to one scorer Maggette. We didn't throw JR Smith a contract. It would have been pretty extreme consequences for Denver if they matched it. If they matched then I understand but I doubt they could afford to match it. That's where the Spurs failed. R.C PUSSYFORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS!
How old are you, 13? Get over it. Maggette was NEVER coming here. We always draft unknowns, 2 of whom turned into All-Stars.
And as for the Lakers series, we all knew the team couldn't win without the Big 3 at their best - it was a flawed team too dependent on it's stars for scoring - and it doesn't hurt anything like 0.4sec or Ginobili's foul in 2006... or even 2000-2003 for that matter.
Talk about over-reacting...
No, they made the right choice.
JR Smith = great athlete with no brain or conscience. He would have been in Pop's doghouse the whole time. Add to that his unclutchness - the guy goes solo warrior under pressure and singlehandedly loses games.
RC Buford, to whom you owe an apology, has delivered 3 rings to this franchise with shrewd choices. No-one is 100% in this game, but Buford has hit more than he's missed. You should STFU.
JR Smith= Take the fukin risk. Yeah that makes sense what you said give someone the MLE and he JR will be in the dog house the whole time. Thats a stupid comment. JR Smith is human bean and he's going to make mistakes aswell. He deverves a chance to redeme himself. He would of been a great 4th option and he would of fixed our offensive droughts. JR Smith with the Spurs would been like having Stephen Jackson back.
RC Pussyford: I dont owe him . He didn't deliver 3 rings the Coaches and players did. He had a franchise player in Duncan to build around. Who can't bulid a team around the best PF in history. He got lucky with Parker he was a steal at pick 28. Plus PROVEN veterans want to come to play for the Spurs and take less money beacuse they know its the team to win a le with.
YOU JUST GOT OWNED, SO YOU SHOULD SHUT THE UP!

STSA thread
Agree. The moves are like threading water. They needed to add another reliable scoring option with athleticism to break down the scoring droughts the team suffers from and they did not get that type of player.
A voice of reason, finally. All these other wannabe armchair GM's just don't get it. I'll stick with the glass is half full perspective. We've been contenders ever since Pop and Tim got here. Fans of the Hawks, Warriors, Pacers etc would give their left nut to be fans of the Spurs. Me Thinks your right Spurs fans are spoiled, unrealistic and 1/2 of them can't even do their own job right or manage their own lives and here they are trying to be armchair GM's.
Some of the FO moves I've questioned like signing Bonner, but I'll defer to Pop and RC because, well that's what they do for a living. If I want to learn more about basketball and building and maintaining a winning and compe ive team then I'll watch them. If they ever want to learn about real estate and real estate investing they can always come talk to me.
Some people here expect that we're going to win the NBA championship every year. Grow up or watch more basketball. This isn't 1950 or whatever year when there were like 12 teams and the Celtics were winning it every year.
Relax people, let's see how the rest of FA plays out, don't expect anything that will knock your jock off, the FO is not going to mess up 2010 and let's see how our draft picks play out. I'll bet 1 or 2 of them pleasantly surprise us, as well as Roger Mason. And the cool thing about it is that regardless of how anyone thinks this off season, draft, losing Scola, Splitter plays out - we're still going to be amongst the elite and we have as good a chance as anyone else of winning it all.
It's just a game. Peace.
Agree. Sometimes you need to take a risk for the player with the higher potential. The spurs always choose to bypass any type of high risk vs high reward decision.
we isn't not ones no too criticizing front office
than is also disappoint, not only but series, than also draft?
some would might always disappointment, but towards patient could
than players exceed to expect... we can towards not guarantee
we learning not long since times hope up getting end up free agents, not loosing so adds how disappoint?
Then if they do take the risky choice and it backfires, it's the Spurs' fault for making a stupid decision?
Not at all. I've never been against high risk/high reward.
Easy on him. English may be his 4'th language.
He called him a human bean........ha ha, not being mean, just made me laugh
