Don't be de-spirited. We are still contenders. Yes, the Dubs will be heavy favorites, but we'll win 58 to 64. Who (besides the Dubs) would you favor in a 7 game series against us? MAYBE the Cavs? And, I suppose, you could find a way to convince yourself of the Clippers (but I wouldn't). We ARE a contender.I was vague, but the thought came to my mind realizing the Dedmon signing for GSW and Dwest for the minimum again for them. They got players for peanuts.
We are filling up with younglings bc we are not contenders anymore and the rich in GSW get richer.
You know what?I better go back to enjoying summer league and my highlights from my boys TBH
Well I am hoping we are a darkhorse contender. A lot of new faces no one knows what this new Spurs team will be.
The Spurs have always preferred D-league minimalists and Euro trash as opposed to proven NBA talent. This shouldn't come as a surprise. When Duncan retires, the talking heads as well as it's fans will finally realize how overrated this PATFO really is.
I wasn't making fun of you - or no more than I was myself. We can and moan as much as we want to about who's getting the best FA's, or how weak the team looks. But once the first pre-season game rolls around, we're going to be seeing flashes of greatness in a bunch of new guys and wallowing in it unapologetically.I was vague, but the thought came to my mind realizing the Dedmon signing for GSW and Dwest for the minimum again for them.

I was also laughing at the idea that this offseason has netted us a 9-fingered forward, and a hobbit SG (Frodo and Sam?), and Jarnell Stokes is headed to our SL team. And, honestly, the ing and moaning is no worse than any other year. We're the most optimistic pessimists, or the most pessimistic optimists in the sports world.
I can't remember the last time you were wrong, brother.
Or maybe they're all going to be shaking their heads and saying, "Well the Spurs did it again". Talking about how they came up with Parker and Manu out of nowhere, over a decade ago, and now they've done it with guys like Simmons, Bertans, and Forbes.
It could happen.
Boban is the back up C and Kyle Anderson is the back up SF. No, this team is not a contender.Don't be de-spirited. We are still contenders.

Boban ain't even signed yet, my man. Don't be a jive turkey!
Who on this roster do you see being the next Parker or Ginobili?
You may be jumping the gun, free agency is not over yet.
San Antonio is always an contender........ please never forget that! We have faced some of the most fearsome players/organizations in the whole NBA; Golden State was/is birthed from some of our principles. Let's not forget who we are and what we do!!
Heh.. you're where I was a couple of nights ago. No, I don't think we've got a budding Manu or Tony on the squad. I'm just sort of resigned to the fact that these are the guys we're going to see, like it or not. I've already gone through denial, anger, bargaining, and grief. I'm on to acceptance.
We've got a decent starting 5. Well, starting 4 anyway. And we've got some bench guys who are going to nail some exciting 3's and make some flashy cuts to the basket. Hopefully Boban will still give us some flat-footed dunk domination. It's going to have to be enough, because I just don't see any exciting trades being announced, and free agency sure as isn't giving up any big names this year, on our min-contract budget.
It's a long season. Lots can happen. Just because it doesn't happen during the free agency period doesn't mean the roster can't get better down the line. Lots of opportunities around trade deadline / buyout deadline for teams to improve / find missing pieces. Don't forget how the Spurs landed Diaw... One of the most important moves that helped put them back into le contention.

Free agent Leandro Barbosa has agreed to a two-year, $8M deal with the Suns, league source tells @TheVertical.
If Dunleavy is healthy that's a nice pickup. He has length, 3pt shooting, and he's a hard nose player. He'll knock the out of Curry without hesitating. Overall he's a really well rounded role player. Obviously he's a perfect role player to have next to Lebron.
At least I don't have to watch all those annoyingly timely threes for GSW anymore.
Here lies the problem with Dunleavy though.
WTF is our front office doing or waiting for? Pop and Ettore drinking wine and eating pasta while these guys just keep taking up talent from everywhere?
Things can get better but I for the most part they need to wait till next free agency and hit big.
Duncan has the team by the balls right now.
I hope Wade doesn't inspire Manu to go get more money than being offered.
Teams can actually break RS records and dominate like no one else and not end up with the LOB, in the end.
So true.
Prob trying to figure out how they are going to pay greedy ass Manu who's worried about his bank account.
yeah. Barbosa loves to light it up against the spurs
