Real Spurs fans should be ashamed that their team is trying to buy a championship taking an all-star from another team. If I remember correctly it was only acceptable to sign role-players. Why would real Spurs fans celebrate a bought championship?

What happened to the Boston Celtics basketball team?
Are you going to deny that spurs fans were always complaining about teams that signed all-star free agents because they were "buying the championship, specially the Lakers and Heat?
Is there still a team in Boston?
you're behind, Spurs new saying is "Spurs do what Spurs want"
I agree 100%.. much prefer to kept Splitter and Ferrari

1997 NBA draft
The 1997 NBA draft took place on June 25, 1997 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Although the Boston Celtics had the second worst record in the 1996–97 season and the best odds (36 percent) of winning the lottery with two picks, the Spurs, usually a model of winning and consistency, lost David Robinson and Sean Elliott to injury early in the season and finished with the third worst record, subsequently winning the lottery. Leading up to the draft, there was no doubt that Tim Duncan would be selected at No. 1 by the Spurs, and in fact the rest of the draft was regarded with some skepticism.[1] The Celtics would end up with the third and sixth picks selecting Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer, both of whom were traded in the next two years.
Only because the Spurs tried and failed to sign all-star free agents.
Now they have signed an all-star free agent.
Is this really a big deal to you?
Last guy to make fun of the spurs was that blazer dude and now his team blows up.
Nvm celtics suck already. Can't get any worse.
Meh, first all-star free agent signing since ???? I can't even remember
Roger "Money" Mase
he wasn't an all star though
In my heart, he was.
that's deep
It's a little different when players want to take pay cuts to come and play for the Spurs.
#built to #coveted
Would be pretty cool if the Spurs won built les and bought les, tbh..
Still have TD, MG, TP, KW and DG. Can't blame LMA for wanting to learn from the best. West will hopefully be serviceable. Spurs will probably have a couple of young guns on the roster for the continued build.
Op is a got and a lakerfan. He uses celtics as his team so his sixers west wont get rebutted everytime he tries to troll.
I wouldn't really call it that.
Did Pop or any of the players ever say "built not bought"? No. I've seen a lot of Spurs fans coming out with this crap. Spurs fans are the worst. Dumb, ignorant mexicans who couldn't tell you what a pivot foot is.
After over two decades of building, there's nothing wrong with buying a little in a league with LeBron who uses the Eastern Conference as his farm system to get players to play for him. And then you have other teams who try to buy their way into a le every year like the Mavs, Thunder, and Rockets...you can't just sit idly by and let them snag all these players all the time. This time, it was a necessary evil, tbh.
