Don Harris took Tspence's cookie.
Breaking news: I'm hearing no one worth a damn wants to come here.
If GSW wouldn't trade Thompson for Love, why would they trade him for a bunch of picks? The media trying to will Love to Cleveland.
Agreed. Did he even visit here? Unlike OKC, no Spurs players went out of their way to recruit (read somewhere that TP talked to him) nor did our coach lower himself to visit that I'm aware of. My take is PATFO had the at ude that if PGasol worked out, then fine...if not, that was fine too b/c he would be a nice piece of the puzzle but wasn't a necessary fit. So use the MLE for a young backup SF.
BREAKING NEWS: tspence just got fired from applebees for using the staff computer to post bull while on the job.
113 pages for Pau.
I like him as much as the next guy and he'd have been a great fit here for the MLE but he was a ridiculous luxury the Spurs didn't really need. Duncan is better than Pau even at this stage in their careers. The Spurs bringing in Pau would be like Bill Gates getting a good rate on his car insurance tbh.
Hey, 113 pages was not for Pau, it was for me. Check your sources again.
Agree w/Thibs comment, but the Cavs and Pacers are the only east teams w/shot at Finals. If the others you mention were in the West, they probably don't make it as an 8th seed. As I stated in an earlier post, odds are high Bulls don't even see the EC Finals. PGasol's priorities are screwed up and I want TP to look into the cameras after le #6 and say "Hey, Pau, you could have been here holding this."

Not in a potential Finals matchup with LeBron and love and all the other guys Cleveland will buy. Gasol would have fit a need for us off the bench and would've spelled TD at many times throughout next season.

The Spurs need flexibility more than additional players going into the season.

The bargains available once these delusional teams wake up will far surpass what is available now.
What does "meh" mean?

Wizards offer to Trevor Ariza was comparable to Houston's, but tax-free Texas was a factor in his decision, per a source.
Are you saying the Spurs as presently constructed couldn't beat a Cavs team with Lebron/Kyrie/Love? Because you're wrong. They'd score a 110 on us but the Spurs would probably average a 120 in that series.
Pau would have been very helpful in the regular season but the Spurs are fine in the frontcourt and could use fortification at other positions tbh.
"With James’ move home, the East is wide open. The Bulls join Cleveland, Washington, Indiana and sure, the Knicks, as the frontrunners to get mopped up by a Western Conference team. I like the Bulls’ chances, provided, of course, Rose stays healthy. Anthony would've been the perfect addition for an offensively challenged team, but Rose with a team full of “floor spacers” isn’t bad. Now they just need one other guy who can create his own shot late in games....The organizational dream of emulating the San Antonio Spurs is just that, a dream. But their win over Miami gave credence to the idea that “Big Three”-style teams can’t always beat well-rounded teams that have continuity among its stars. I’m confident this is another 55-plus win team with a healthy Rose and the expected roster around him. Is that enough to go from contender to favorite? " -- Jon Greenberg, ESPNChicago.com
Throughout the article he keeps mentioning "a healthy Rose." Well, good luck with that.
We need a backup sf but who knows maybe cotton gets the mills role during the regular season.
There is a thing called age and as much as TD and Manu keep defying it, we can't always expect that to be the case. So, we can't just stand pat while contenders like the Cavs, who will be deeper than you're giving them credit for, are looking to buy their way to the top and oh yeah, the fact that we've never repeated. Look I'm loving this high of winning it all again but we can't get too y when taking our past le defenses in account. These are legit concerns, man.
Love this take and it's dead on. That is why I thought the Stephenson route was better. The only guy on that team that can create is Rose as it stands. Just really cant understand the obsession the Bulls have for Gasol considering their roster right now.
It's not like Tim or Manu were playing at their 2005 levels during this run tbh. Their play could slip but I think both know their bodies well enough that they're confident in replicating their performances by choosing to not retire after a championship.
The Cavs will win a ring but they're a couple of years away IMO regardless if they get Love. I'm not sure if the Spurs get out of the West but if they do, I like their chances of repeating tbh.
You ride with what got you there. We are too embedded in a system now to have one player come in and in one year make a difference. We have pieces overseas in Bertans and Jean Charles that will get a chance next year to see what they got in the nba, we got kyle Anderson who's a solid pick with the right at ude. We got Kawhi, green and Parker and a deep bench for the forseeable future and we will have cap space next season to formulate a plan.
We may not win a championship next season but we will compete forbtye next few years as we plug and play and people learn the system. Kawhi might have a huge season and attract someone over, you never know but the spurs will do what they can to keep winning and that is all we can ask them to do
They will in a couple of years. DRob and TD span about 20 years. We're due.
Kind of makes me wonder about Belinelli, if the Spurs were shopping for Marvin Williams, and Caron Buttler. Any SF signing affects him more than any other player. Ginobili is the 2 guard playing the backup 3 so Belinelli can stay at his natural position. Spurs add a SF to the rotation and his minutes get cut, unless they play the have a PG-less lineup.
I think our big man core could certainly be better. After Duncan, Splitter and Diaw its Ayers, Baynes and Bonner. Bonner still holds value against certain teams (Memphis) but his time has past. Ayers has the some of the worst hands in the NBA, 2nd to only Perkins. Baynes is an excellent rebounder and has some skill on offense but fouls like crazy and doesn't protect the basket. He's also a bit old to be a project, he can improve only but so much at this point.
I would be interested in Emeka Okafor, assuming he's ready to go after the neck thing. Aminu ,then again, could play both SF & PF off the bench.
