    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?
    Hard to compete against a free ring and massive exposure

    Why would Dedmon pick the spurs over GSW? That team will showcase his talents and allow him to get a big contract next year.

    I refuse to believe Duncan is holding the team up. I'm hoping the Spurs have whatever dominoes lined up and ready to go tomorrow.

    Of course, I'll wake up and my belief shattered.

    Spurs would too. How much look will Dedmon get with their stars and Zaza/West? Spurs have LMA/Pau only from a big perspective and not as much star power to soak up every touch.

    Warriors backup SG spot just opened up..

    If the front office doesn't want to pay Manu, wouldn't be too angry at him if he chases the ring instead, tbh

    Duncan would never pull such a move.

    lol Manu will sign for the vet min if that's all that's left.

    I just keep reading tweets of X, Y and Z player talking to the Dubs, like they didn't just sign a player to the max.

    I get it with vets chasing a ring, but Dedmon is 26.

    You're joking me. The Warriors front office must read this forum. They're scooping up everyone we want, while the Spurs are passing up all these guys. What in the are the Spurs doing? Are they even going to try and get an athletic F/C that can rebound?
    Got that feeling that Warrior's scouts >>> Spurs scouts just coz they also read ST

    If he's good and a center he should play over West. Yes, Spurs will showcase his talents well but not to the likes of GSW. He'll just get so many easy baskets with that team.

    Warriors built a loaded team even prior to winning a championship..they lucked out with Curry's contract, but outside of that, everything seems to have been planned and scouted well..

    Spurs' front office still has the reputation of being ahead of the game, but they haven't lived up to the hype in years..it will be interesting to see if the success translates without Duncan there as the influence and leader..

    I'm playing, I would definitely be annoyed..I already disliked the Warriors, and now they added one of my 3 most despised players of all-time in Dominos Durant..

    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.
    That is true, thought of that the other night

    It helps when you have draft picks. They certainly maximized the one they got. Quite fortunate other teams are absolutely garbage at picking players at the same time. Of course Draymond was quite the find.

    That being said Spurs FO has done fine. Splitter, Patty, Cojo, and Kawhi were all important players in leading us to 1 ring and almost two. Then Diaw and Danny were absolute steals on the market.

    Warriors also took rejects like Livingston and washed-up players like Barbosa and turned them into vital role players, too, though..

    Spurs FO is great and it's difficult to find quality players when you're always picking late, but they are years removed from having the reputation of creating "magic" IMO..

    I sure hope so. With few exceptions, this place is full of morons. I hope every team other than the Spurs makes roster decisions based on spurstalk.

    We stay ahead of the game sir....... you can't win the championship every year!! Wow!! We are two years removed from our last where as Cleveland hadn't won one in 50+ years...lol We are always in the mix and that's all any franchise can ask for period!!! Don't be unreasonable in your expectations; no one stays on top forever.

    Would you consider the "FO" under development of players? And just curious what do you consider the last "magic" the Spurs created?

    Livingston wasn't a reject. He played great with the Nets. I remember really wanting for the Spurs that summer.

    It usually takes years for development. Splitter was an absolute steal and very solid starter when healthy. Cojo and Baynes are great backups and ended up getting paid.

    Also forgot about George Hill who starter in the league.

    We've yet to determine how many of the picks will turnout since the absolute steal that was Kawhi Leonard. Kyle Anderson might turnout to be a solid pf in this league. I'd really like to see him at pf with a better pg on our team.

    the warriors have been great since lacob, 1st class organization up there with the spurs and the thunder

    built through the draft and as a basketball fan i cant really hate on their style of play, they play the right way etc... drafted curry, thompson, green etc... and all developed at the right time

    Duncan was already great when he came into the league so the spurs getting parker and ginobili late in the draft was huge. Curry wasnt amazing and had problems with his ankles when he entered the league so they were able to get thompson, barnes and of course green in the 2nd round was tremendous

    they were lucky enough to have a beta superstar be a FA at the time where the cap room ed, obviously im sure they planned and set up everything they could control to make it happen but also involved a lot of luck

    Diaw, Kawhi, and Danny are all pure magic that's happened in the last 5 years.
