This guy.... GTFOH with your ty inside info...
Like I said, don't blame tspence, blame Pau.
Well, you know how tough it is to crack a playoff rotation under Pop as a rookie. Kawhi will be better but we still don't know how much more room he has to grow nor do we know if Pop will draw more plays for him. I like our chances to repeat but it isn't a slam dunk by any means and it just might be even tougher than this past run.
amazing how over the yrs, big FA have shun our Spurs when we have shown interest in bringing them here either via sign & trade deals or as a F.A. they usually talk about how they want to win & play for a great coach & Teammate(s) & yet always seem to turn around & sign for more $ elsewhere.
oh well, we've done pretty well, but still these guys talk out their azz.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Two rings that were how many years ago? I'm talking about recently, he's gotten used to going home early with the Lakers and now he'll do the same with the Bulls as long as Thibs is there to run his players in the ground and Rose is there going down season after season..
Be that as it may, Spurs are way closer to worse (to what degree is debatable) than better by bring back same squad less Mills. Relying on a 30th pick rookie to make up the gap from a very good finals performer is a long shot. Cotton may not even be here and Joseph is the best bet here (along with Manu/Beli) to help offset that.
But, it's still early and there are trades, free agency and buyouts down the road.
It's the lack of attention s like Drake going to the games and the lack of a party atmosphere and "street cred" that other markets offer. That's what most of these players seem to value nowadays.
Gasol never considered SA. Spaniards don't like mexicans. Gilipollas.
tspence says spurs are interested in Ihato Spursovich...........but he turned us down flat when we called.
A tad disappointing that the Spurs can wreck the Heat on multiple levels, earn global praise for "playing the right way" and sport a nucleus of All-Stars that have terrific locker room chemistry, all in a state that has no income tax, yet still can't lure a FA worth a damn.

tspence is also saying we're interested in bringing back Da Admiral and he's agreed pending a physical.
Pau is not like his brother Marc who's more than willing to play a supporting role on a team. Pau likes being a focal point of the offense. IIRC, he whined whenever he was benched or had his playing time cut in LA.
Not the meltdown everyone was expecting but I think we all knew. Now it's on to the next free agent.
rob diaz is a
No, the real meltdown will come from me if we hold on to Bonner. Mark my words, tbh.
really disappointing, Spurs won't get even half the value of Gasol with their MLE. and for him to say he wanted to play on a contender?!? weak... I hope Chicago implodes and he's miserable there and hates Rose as much as Kobe.
tspence you have overstayed your welcome. ur just another laker got now. sorry
So much for Pau actually being TP's friend. Yeah, right, Tony and you also didn't Brent's wife.
Sometimes I think they 're just intimidated by pop to come here
didn't gasol get cucked by shannon brown or some ? he knows TP is goin in![]()
Well, I just don't see how CHI has more than the MLE without trading some people (not happening/not reported) or amnesty of Boozer.
If they amnesty Boozer (which they haven't been willing to do) why would Pau only agree to 6M a year? Let's say he did that though, that would allow them to sign Pau & Mirotic. However they would be paying Pau's 6M, Mirotic's 5M (based on reports of using MLE on him) and Boozer's 16M for just Pau/Mirotic. Maybe Bulls finally willing to bite the bullet and thought Pau was worth the extra 6M to swap Pau for Boozer in the big man lineup of Noah/Taj/Pau/Mirotic vs Noah/Taj/Boozer/Mirotic?
If they use the MLE on Boozer (like most think because that 6M number seems wrong), then they can't bring over Mirotic. So they then decided on Pau over Mirotic in that scenario.
Either way, Pau likely choose CHI over SA for the same money which sucks - especially with the reports yesterday regarding Pau to the Spurs is there was no S&T for CHI (which we mostly all pegged would be difficult).
