That is perfectly understandable.
I applaud the FO for doing the best they can to make this team win a le this year. and Dice have underachieved greatly this year which is why some fans are taking it too far by saying the FO sucks. That still doesnt excuse the lazy play of the team this year which is why im disappointed in them. They play like they give up on the season so thats why i feel that way.
That is perfectly understandable.
Don't post your weak ass bandwagoner in this thread and expect roses and daisies.
Oh yeah, especially funny coming from the guy who says "I hate Spurs fans".
Someone said something not even directed at me and now that I realize I look like an idiot, I have to keep going because my ego won't let me stop.
Can't trade the coach... This is NOT the Spurs system that won this team championships.
I completely think we have enough talent. They're simply not being held accountable on the defensive end, and the coach keeps on sending out weak lineups after weak lineups.
We know what it takes to win a championship. It's not a porous defense.
Wow, I didn't realize there was FO hate going on at all...definitely not their fault. That's why I'm sure that they are trying to figure out a way to find some glue for this team...great pieces but there is nothing hold it together, thus the inconsistency that will get us routed in the first round.
This team needs a personnel change ASAP. Options 2-4 aren't going to cut it offensively. The D is pedestrian. The window is closing.
It is still salvageable. This team has the ability, but can they turn that into something tangible? Not sure, but a trade for someone that can play inside defensively would go a long way.
I answer with another question, a more pressing and debatable question: is the coaching and FO realizing what any reasonable fan is? That the Spurs are still facing the same problems, and the same decline, they did last season and are trying to avert.
And the definition of fickle doesn't coincide with pointing out the fact Spurs haven't taken care of business this season.
Yes, I hate Spurs fans like you.
How many posts does your ego have? Is there something wrong with what I said? If so, point it out and quit crying like a little sissy girl.
+1
It's truely pathetic how little some know here.
Drop the rotation to 8. Duncan, Blair, McD, Manu, Hill, Jefferson, Bogans, Bonner
Rest Parker until the playoffs. The team goes no where unless he is 100% anyway.
Run the offense through Duncan. Post him until the opposition doubles then kick for the three or the drive. It alomost feels like Duncan fealt obligated to defer to Parker a year or two ago and Parker was the first option and they never reverted back to Duncan.
Duncan again becomes the first option, Manu the distributor and playmaker, Jefferson the number two being set up by Manu, Hill the pass first point, defensive specialist.
Can coaches be traded for players? I believe so.
Surely there are some delusional front offices who think like many a ST poster and site runners do, that being that Popped is among if not the best coach in the game.
Well, how about Popped for Bosh?
i did the like the rotations tonight hill starting with blair with manu/mcdyess and bonner off the pine but in the end it was the same result when it comes to 4th quarter basketball this team doesnt have what it takes to finish
Sadly, the only real assets the Spurs have are Hill and Blair. If the Spurs could get rid of a couple of contracts just to save money I would not be upset. They gave it a shot but got the wrong players. I still do not mind Jefferson, we dont give him the ball enough. But Dice was a waste of money along with KB who sucks. Drop him and call up Harriston already. His defense is overrated and his offense is worse than most high schoolers.
I no longer blame the players. Pop is the one driving this ship into oblivion. I have never seen a coach so successful at destroying a team's momentum as Pop has done this year.
^ prime example of the pathetic Spurs fan who obviously knows very little about the game.
I know it's a long shot, but the best, at least semi-realistic trade proposal I can come up with is Jefferson, Splitter, a 1st round draft pick (and possibly some minor assets) for Iguodala and Dalembert.
76ers motivation: bad team, awful attendance, bloated payroll, looking to trade either Dalembert or Brand and so desperate to do so that they may part with Iguodala to accomplish that. In Jefferson, they get a huge expiring contract for next season and a lesser version of Iguodala, who could theoretically replace the majority of his production on that team in the short term. In this trade, they accomplish said goal of dealing Dalembert, gain cap flexibility for '11 and get two quality assets in Splitter and a 1st.
Spurs motivation: it's simple, the off season makeover clearly isn't working out and the two biggest needs are a stopper who can double as a fourth option (Iguodala) and an athletic big man who can rebound, block shots and protect the rim in general (Dalembert). Add these two to Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, McDyess, Hill and Blair and you theoretically have the makings of a legit championship contender for this season and next.
I know Dalembert is a sometimes malcontent and has a low basketball IQ, but he seems like a genuinely good guy, theoretically fills the Spurs front line needs (and is significantly younger and more durable than Camby) and if taking on his contract means the Spurs acquire Iguodala, then how do they say no?
We want the players to play for 48 minutes maybe Pop should coach with some semblance of intelligence for 48 minutes.
That trade does not come close to working under the cap.
I don't think we need a big trade..a BIG trade is too risky, look at what's happening with RJ..
I'd try to trade RJ, but I doubt any team bites..the only way we could move him without question would be for an Elton Brand-like contract, but that would be stupid by the Spurs..
I wouldn't trade Manu, he's still valuable..
Trade Mason/Bonner/Finley and whoever else expires..trade any current or future 1st round picks..trade the rights to Splitter..this SHOULD net us a legit big and maybe a defensive stopper, although I'd settle for just the big man..
Will that guarantee anything? No, obviously not..nothing short of a Gasol trade would guarantee anything..but it will help shore up a serious problem with the D, it will help Duncan battle down low, and it could also bring some new blood and spark this team..then there's the wildcard..will the coach play this big man legit minutes?..
Trading for a big name isn't an option though, this team has too many issues with chemistry as it is..
This trade :
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=yjbumay
Tim Duncan -> Cleveland
Ilgauskas + Moon + Gibson -> San Antonio
Why ?
Because i want to see Tim Duncan win 1 or 2 more rings !
Because Tim + Shack + Lebron would be badassss !
Because i want to see the multiple threads of "WTF is that trade" by Lakers fans !
Because i want to see the old Tim & Shack destroy the soft Bynum & Gasol !
Because i want to see the face of KB24 when he'll see Tim & Shack win their 5th ring !
And because the Spurs are not going to make the playoffs this year.
Start over, draft in the 1st 10 picks 2 or 3 years in a row... Maybe we'll be lucky and get a new franchise player.
Bring Tiago Splitter next year and play the young guys.
If Tony & Manu want to stay, good... if not trade them or give them to contenders.
Now, you can yell at me !
Trade for picks and start getting ready for the lottery.
