If you're a "Spurs fan", you root for the guys wearing Spurs. You're a "player fan", when you're fandom is tied to the name on the back.
If that's the case you will instantly see who is a fan of the organization and a player fan. The spurs will only be left with player fans. Sad day for SA, when losers like Durant and Lamarsha have the teenagers excited.

KD isn’t looking to be courted in free agency like LeBron
No way he goes to that team after choking to them.
Yeah, that's absolutely out of the window now or in 2017..
Tbh I don't think KD has the balls to leave OKC. Too soft mentally imo.
I don't get some of you on here. Those who don't want Durant because he chokes, or soft, or insert whatever reason here, but happy to get someone like Amir Johnston cause of toughness or whatever, and don't want to lose Green because of Defense, but then forget they scream when he dribbles like a monkey. Like seriously, Durant is top 5 player in the NBA, and only 2 years removed from being the MVP of the league. I see him as number 3 behind Curry and Lebron. Regardless if he is 3,5,10, or 15th best player in the NBA, there are 30 teams, and you have a player that will be the best player on the court against half the teams out there. To add Leonard who can also be considered 3,5,10, or 15th best player in the NBA. Then add LMA who is a perfect 3rd option. Exactly where he should be. Just imagine the energy Leonard will have on D by having Durant as the number 1 option.
If Durant wants to be here, we get it done. We embrace and enjoy the ride.
These scrubs didn't want Aldridge because we'd lose Splitter's screens
D-League Danny can pop bottles with the Sixers if it means Durant is coming... Tbh
Agree he won't sign long term until next offseason. Likely he does a 1+1 with OKC or someone else to give him options and gets supermax next summer. Too much difference.
I don't think the money is the end all factor for him, it's Westbrook.
If Westbrook tells him, this summer, he plans on staying in OKC, KD stays.
If Westbrook says he is leaving or says he is not sure, KD is gone.
and if you really think about it, Westbrook is going to leave next summer. If they don't win that's an easy excuse to leave, But even if they win the championship I think says, I got my ring now I can go get my money in LA, NY or Miami.
New Big 3!
LMA and now Kevin Durant?....could happen....
2017 NBA Champs?New Big 3!
Not if that means sacrificing what your organization stands for. Your argument would be if SA Picked up
Gilbert Arenas
Delonte West
Kobe Bryant
Ron Artest
Dwight Howard
You would still root for SA. Great Idea.
You're lying to yourself if you say you wouldn't want Kobe or Artest on the Spurs especially in their prime. Would of probably increased our chances of repeating.
No Im not. I follow the organization because of its professionalism. I don't mess with the trash. If you would sacrifice the culture of an organization for one player I can pick out several things:
1. you don't understand the organization
2. you have never managed an organization
3. you have only been a fan for a short amount of time
17, 18, and 19 champs IMO.
Basically just #2 like most others, but been a fan since DRob's rookie year, I have no issue with Kobe or Artest and would have certainly welcomed them on our team but when they were supposedly interested in Karl Malone that's when I would have been totally against it.
Not an argument, it's a fact.
If you want to bring morality into it, then fine. But LMA and Durant, to use the two you referenced, are All-NBA talents. Haven't seen them picked up, accused or tried for anything criminal.
You're a fool if you wouldn't take Durant, given the opportunity.
Sources around the league say Durant's choice is not that simple.
"He is not the kind of guy who wants to fiddle around in free agency and sort of play the system that way," said one source who has worked with Durant. "That is not his personality. He likes stability and it is kind of a gamble to be taking a short contract and then trying to come back and do it all over again in a year. That's the other thing. He is not someone who wants to go through this twice, I really don't think. It's no sure thing."
and he's done?????
What does he need to do that he hasn't for you?
Pretty stout resume, I'd hire him. What are your qualifications?
tholdren would rather have Harrison Barnes in FA this year because he's won a le.
Just like a football fan who'd take Eli (mediocre but two good postseason runs) over Phillip Rivers (or another very good QB who's never won a le) based on les alone.
Good analogy, thought about that myself.
Everyone wants a "Franchise Player", but it's more than that - they want a generational, player-for-the-ages star.
They're not so easy to aquire, but sometimes their story hasn't come to a close. Sometimes, you grab someone with the talent to bec that and they blossom in the right setting. Which is why Durant would be worth it.
Spurs fans have been spoiled to no end with lottery luck. And even then, it took time and failures, questions of mental-toughness to become that spoiled fan.
Some seemed to forget.
