`This trade has ab ely destroyed the SA franchise and their fans.
Stopped them dead in the tracks in 2008. They were nowhere to be found last year.
And now...this year...a DOMINATING regular season...they are going to get BUTT ED in the first round....
Why you ask?
The PAU GASOL TRADE.
This trade enabled Memphis to acquire both Marc Gasol via the trade AND ZBO because of the cap space.
So Spurs fans and for Coach Pop....the gift that keeps on giving.
The BIGGEST NBA TRADE since Kobe draft day deal...tbh.

Hate to admit it but it's valid.![]()
You are right about everything except one aspect; the spurs will not be "butt ed" in the first round. They will win the first round. They could very well not make past round 2, but I would not bet against them in round 1.
When the Spurs beats Memphis and moves to the 2nd round, what will be the reason?
At this point does SA really wanna move on to round 2? Not sure they're aware what awaits them.

You've got a lot of false bravado tonight...I assume you're faced.
Nothing false about it... We've been down 2-1 before and won the series, even without HCA... Ask BRHornet, lol
Back on topic though. Everyone and their mother talked about the Lakers raping Memphis in that deal. They were absolutely hurting financially while simultaneously having to pay Pau his money. This, while being 0-12 in the playoffs. In comes the Lakers who come in with a deal that would provide them financial flexibility and they can get Pau's albatross contract off of their books.
Look at the Grizzlies now. They do look like our farm team. Dominating frontline (Z Bo/Marc), pretty good SG the Spurs can't guard (OJ Mayo), and a pretty good bench. The thing is, their PG is light years better than Fisher is so I see why you guys are in trouble. It's no fluke that TP is having a ty playoff series FG%-wise because he has to guard Conley and score.Matter of fact, you guys should be lucky that their best player (Rudy Gay) is not playing or game 4 they would be going for the sweep. Real talk.

Yep, and it'd be consecutive sweeps.
Z-bo's majestic (yes) transformation as a cornerstone has allowed memphis to do this.
It's unreal, the main team has passed their bag of tricks to the farm team.
And then they were nearly swept by an undermanned Laker team the next round, lol
