Well, Hater, you started off the list with the number 1 reason why any important free agent would absolutely run away from the Spurs---calling his attention to Spurs Talk. I've been thinking about this for some time and you actually brought it up.
If a player was told that Spurs Talk was the pre-eminent fan forum, and looked over the posts for the past year or two, what would he see? Complete disrespect for Coach Pop and the three Spurs--Timmy, Manu, and Tony--who have brought this backwater town FIVE championships, many conference championships and playoff appearances, and the most ever consecutive 50 game winning seasons in NBA history. Pop is widely considered to be the best coach in the league, perhaps the best ever and has three COTY awards. The Big Three have so many awards and honors that they are almost certain to be first round HOF. Any good free agent would have the utmost respect for the Spurs team members.
He would be dumbfounded that they get criticism about their basketball skills and performance from fat-boy couch potatoes, most of whom never played basketball at any level.
And the disrespect goes beyond criticism of basketball skills; it often takes the form of publicly 'outing' or taking shots at players' personal lives, morals, rumored marriage problems or sexual preferences in the most blatantly obscene terms. I doubt that most of these sophmoric morons have such sterling characters and personal lives that they should be throwing the first stones.
Nope, Hater, any good free agent would take one look and say, "Why would I put myself in a position to take this kind of on the worldwide internet from a bunch of morons who don't know anything about basketball? Eventually they'll be dissing me like their Hall of Famers. I'm outa here."
