That explain why Bogut/Ezeli were ALWAYS in foul trouble especially in the playoffs.
D-Worst/Zaza/Dedmon would be murders row of hackers, Mike Brown has his job cut out of him.
If LeBron and Wade can pull that off, they deserve to be co-MVPs for the next 2-3 years.
But seriously, Cuban will just withdraw his offer to Whiteside. He seems to be doing the best he can to help GSW out. Don't be surprised if there are some under-table deal in the works.

They lost the Derrick Fisher of the team.
Bruce Bowen signed as a free agent, on a crappy little contract. Nobody saw him for what he became here. Spurs gave him over 4x as much the second year.
Stephen Jackson surprised everybody, including Stephen Jackson with how much he stepped up his first year.
Diaw was waived, and the sportswriters described him as "portly" when the Spurs took him.
Danny Green was an absolute cast-off.
Belinelli's stock was way down when the Spurs picked him up. He was fresh off a one year reduced-rate contract with Chicago.
Baynsie carried himself pretty well for a D-League call-up.
So, yeah, some of these guys could over-achieve and be a lot more than most people expect. I really think Bertans has that kind of potential. The more I consider Bourousis, and the fact that he and Bertans already know each others' games, the more I think that could be a great pickup. But with the cap set to balloon next season, I don't see a lot of bargain-type players being traded or waived at the deadline. So if we do pick up any new players that way, they're going to have to be the same kind of diamond in the rough as the guys above. Which means we won't see it coming.
Like I said, I'm just sort of resigned to it. I'm going to try and enjoy seeing some new blood, and see which ones step up. If Tony comes back in shape, and energized, this team could surprise a lot of fans. If he's lost another step, or if he's pouting over losing Diaw, he could make it a really ugly season.
Man..Duncan is taking forver to make a decision. It's holding the spurs hostage.
The Spurs have survived multiple "dynasties" and "superteams" over Duncan's career...
Sure, maybe the front office isn't as ahead of the curve as they were before but they've laid the groundwork for a successful sports franchise the last 30 years...a blueprint that the current Warriors have extolled as well...
Comparing the two front offices is pretty ridiculous considering SA is a much smaller market and they've done it for a much longer time period. What the Dubs have done in recent memory has been terrific and should absolutely be commended but lets not act like they've benefited from much higher draft picks and lucky breaks...
Spurs have caught their fair share of luck as well and I don't doubt that Golden State can be a powerhoues for a long time, but lets give it another decade before we start comparing front offices tbh....
They extended our window brilliantly last offseason with LMA coming and Kawhi's contract.
We can build around those two and stay in contention the coming years. There will be space too eventually.
Years ago who would have thought that it wouldn't be total disaster when Timmy retired and Manu and Tony started declining?
Spurs now will actually keep winning and we're kept safely away from the dreadful losing seasons that all other teams suffer from routinely!
It's very good.
I was poking fun at you too bc my fandom has placed me fully in the Anderson for MIPoY camp. I mean who would have told us Anderson was going to be SL MVP at 21 years old? I would not put it past him to emerge as a MIP candidate this season bc he's a fiercer compe or than his calm demeanor shows, and: (1) he's put in work on his jumpshot to increase his scoring to add a 3 ball; and (2) he's going to have opportunities to play a role for sure this season. Spurs need him to play well. It could be said even to be darkhorse contenders Kyle needs to grow up this season and play well.
He played with Kerr who always waxes poetic about him.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
Spurs are going to be fine. 2nd place isn't a bad thing tbh

Yeah, you have to remember that Golden State drafted well, but they had the benefit of high draft picks from being a ing doormat for... well, forever. The Spurs have held a contender-caliber team together while having the worst draft position of any team in the league over the Duncan Era. It's more than amazing, it's unheard-of. Give GS credit for what they've done. But in comparison, they ain't done anything yet. Come back in a decade, and it will be time to at least start comparing notes.

I hope he retires & cedes his spot to Forbes.
I won't lie, Manu could be electric there. It might rejuvenate him playing there and could bring him back a little bit to the old days.He played with Kerr who always waxes poetic about him.
PATFO don't have the nuts to trade Porker, the first domino for the Duds after they drafted Curry/Klay was Lacob having the nut to trade Monta Ellis when he was the most popular player on the team.
...as if they don't have enough ball handlers prone to committing turnovers playing hot sauce.
Did you just compare Monte Ellis to Tony Parker??
What a terrible take
You found the bane!!!...as if they don't have enough ball handlers prone to committing turnovers playing hot sauce.
And you know who do we have who are just an absolute terror creating TO?
Kawhi
Danny
Kyle... deflection central.
I am crossing fingers JSimms turns a corner for the better. Kyle and JSimms could potentially make more of a difference than Pau Gasol at the end of the day if they play well.
Terrence Jones is supposedly holding off for a substantial offer in the neighborhood of 8mill per which is something the Spurs can't offer, most likely teams have been offering him the MLE & he turned it down.
I mean what is the holdup with Manu anyways? Timmy?
PATFO are probably trying to offer Manu the Room Exception if Tim is returning. Otherwise, they would need the RE for a backup center so Manu would just get paid by going over the cap.
Simmons might get 5 deflection & commit 10 turnovers.
Had PATFO picked up Gary Payton II they would have been able to cause havoc w/ Danny/Kawhi/Kyle but alas Porker/Patty are two of the worst at getting deflections.
The Celtics would give 'em w/ Bradley/Smart/Jaylen Brown/Crowder/Horford.
He's not retiring, and we can have both, AFAIKI hope he retires & cedes his spot to Forbes.
I think we'll have news soon. Basically, now Diaw is gone, Gasol is official, Murray is official, the rest of the dominos should fall...
