Paul isn't coming here.
The year 2020 IMO will be the year "The Spurs Era" will officially come to an end...Pop's contract will be up and he will probably finish his coaching career with the Olympics but mayb I'm wrong... I just think deep down that's the thought process of PATFO..shoot for a 6th ring in this 3 year window and life will go on with Spurs basketball..
Majority of the league has pretty much 2 options going forward..rebuild and wait for GSW to split up or wait patiently for LeBron to decline lol. Or you can swing for the fences and compete against the TWO teams who've made 3 consecutive Finals appearances. Boston Celtics have the best of both worlds..they came compete NOW yet build for the next 10 years with the lottery picks in their pipeline. I feel the Spurs are going to go ALL IN going forward..
Spurs are in a unique situation tbh.. "The Era" should be ending right now with the true foundation
of the past 15-20 years crumbling (Duncan/Manu retirements, Parker devastating injury) the only reason they are not in full rebuild mode is Kawhi Leonard..who the past 2 seasons has made a legitimate case of being the second best player in the world.....They cannot let this NEW WINDOW close and must take advantage of it.
Even though 2020 is the end game..the time to compete is NOW..starting this offseason. Which IMO is why they've been rumored going for CP3.. They gotta keep the momentum going and can't afford to take a step back. It's kind of the same logic they used in signing Gasol..yeah he's older and wasn't the ideal fit or long term answer..but signing him allowed PATFO to reduce the Post Duncan struggle and the obligation to compete (Kawhi, LMA). CP3 is 10x the player Gasol is and fits to what the team needs NOW in contention and grooming of Murray (Who BTW has a personal relationship with Paul).
Spurs will be exploring ALL options to contend/compete in this window and tbh the only player untouchable is Kawhi. Some suggest to kick the can down the road and make moves in the 18' offseason..which could happen..I just think they're swinging for the fence this year FIRST. I think letting go of Parker is more of a possibility then some think..and if Paul gives them the green light they won't say NO..No player not named Duncan is more then the franchise. Yes it may not be the way to go but Parkers contract can't hold Kawhi and the Spurs hostage...
This will be the most fascinating offseason in Spurs history good or bad tbh....The clock starts now
Paul isn't coming here.
I've never enounctered a more terrible, vanilla, casual thread and Post by an OP in the last 7 years.
Should have just sticked to your ty podcast.
7 paraghraphs of garbage. It's like the dumpster area of detorit. Not even just straight up trash..but a place where all the trash are collected. Garbage.
Very interesting.
I like looking at this offseason from that perspective. kind of makes things alot more clearer.
And I agree about Pop retiring 2020. Hopefully Coach Bud is back by then. I'm not sold on Messina.
Probably not but they're gonna try..just like thru did with KD. If he hr stays in LAC they'll adjust accordingly
Good to know you've listened to my podcast and I'm living rent free bruh...
How about you continue making Kawhi "Fan Boy" threads..
I prefer the year 2525.The year 2020
They didn't even try w/ KD. That was a formality, a pro-forma. Not even Kawhi went to that meet.
Where'd you hear that?
How is this thread not shut down. post
if you think this post is crap I wonder what you think a good post is...
Some post hating on some Spur is a start
2020? Sign a few replicants to short term contracts.
Unless Kawhi suffers a career altering injury or drops off the face of the earth he'll carry the Spurs even past 2020 and Pop.
Or how about signing an extension? His contract is up in a couple years and I believe the same time as Pops...who will be 74.
Kawhi will sign the supermax extension next summer.
You don't know that for sure and if you're PATFO you can't just assume that...
the year trump gets relected
Very short sighted and long winded post by OP.
Pop is 68. In 2023, Pop will be 74. The team will be in good hands, RC & Pop wouldnt hire an idiot to tear everything down. RC will still be here and Pop will prob still have his hand in a lot of decisions since he is the President of Spurs basketball. Theyre many bright basketball minds who can coach that arent named Pop.
Maybe so but what's appealing NOW for free agents/players etc is they want to PLAY for Pop...with both Pop and Kawhi contracts expiring in next couple years just leaves a lot of unknowns..
I do think it's very possible Pop steps down from coaching once his contract expires though and he's hinted at with his own statements.
Meh wasn't he on record as saying he would leave when Duncan left?
Although one would think after 2020 he would bail regardless.
Lets see if he can go better then .500 in the next 3 years playoffs.
