given who the spurs are, they don't have really have a lot options though.
it's likely they'll resign gasol, manu... maybe they move la + green... it won't be for a player nearly as good as cp3.

Chris Paul is a lot like Aldridge in that they never have had playoff success even when playing with talent around them. People forget that Paul is a terrible defender who is only getting older and less athletic. He's also a lot like Harden and Westbrook; in the last 2 minutes they lose all composure and throw up one desperate 3-pt with a hand in the face.
Not at all disappointed that he's not coming to Spurs. Very annoying player to me.
Yeah, because being part of the in crowd in H.S. determines your success in life.
The Spurs won 61 games last year with this roster. You're reacting like they won 41. Plenty of people would love to play here - it's just that the Spurs don't want them at their market value.
Terrible defender? What?
Last year was that roster's last chance.
yeah, people like lamarcus aldridge and pau gasol after he said no the first time.
What's the difference if the Spurs win 61 or 41? The end re3sult is the same sans some random record 50 win streak that nobody really cares about anyways.
No . Pau ing Gasol - the prototypical "Spur" - spurned us for Derrick ing Rose, Jimmy Butler, and Joakim Noah.
I think he's talking about players like David West, Jeff Ayres and old as Gasol.
"Plan"? You people don't get it; there's nothing they can do now to get into contention. It doesn't matter what they do and it's highly unlikely to be anything shocking anyway since they're a narrow minded, predictable organization.
The master "plan" is probably hope to get Hill on a reasonable contract, keep Aldridge because best offers likely don't help them win now and pretend to be contenders next season. Then, after fools gold regular season and inevitable 2nd round exit, lose Aldridge for nothing, either make Green whole for '15 discount or do same and then have cap space for . . . wait for it . . . Bradley, Thomas (probably re-signs and like Cousins, unlikely either side would have interest), W. Chandler, Jordan, Lopez, Monroe, Cousins, Covington, Favors.
In the '17 NBA, it does.
Spurs pulled a ton of games out of their ass and were a fools gold one (super)star team, which doesn't cut it, in terms of contending for the championship, in '17. I'm acting like they were on the precipice of possible contention again and blew their shot. Plenty of irrelevant players would like to play here; game changers don't.
And substantially more money. The Spurs are just a bargaining chip agents use so they can ramp up the asking price of said FA's.No . Pau ing Gasol - the prototypical "Spur" - spurned us for Derrick ing Rose, Jimmy Butler, and Joakim Noah.
Spurs look stuck for the foreseeable future if they don't somehow acquire game changers.
What a way to spend Kawhi's prime years.
Three years removed from a le and still riding the tailwinds of one of the best runs in NBA history.
Being a Spurs fan is so ing hard.
In what other years did they have cap room to even pursue a max guy? Pau said no the first time because the Bulls overpaid him.
A 61 win team is a finals contender. Name the last 41 win team that made the finals.
Disagree, we couldve easily had the one seed but we gave away lots of regular season games. If there was ever a fools gold Spurs team it wasnt last year. That team had the chops to win a le and had the train derailed by the Zaza cheapshot. happens.

Kawhi will just have to step his game up to another level. He is surely capable.
This tbh.
Spurs fans are the ing worst. You're one year removed from Duncan retiring and you just came off a season where you reached the WCF. The Spurs don't need to do other than what they've been doing. Literally had one down season (which then got them Duncan) in the past 3 decades and people here still acting like the FO is letting them down before anything has even happened. The Spurs could stand pat and I'd STILL pick them to get to the WCF and lose to GS before losing to this current Rockets team.
That changes if they get PG or Melo, but at least give the front office a chance to do something before acting like little es.
He'll have to reach LeBron levels, imo. He will literally have to carry the team on his back..
Oh wait. He already did that last year.
I love Kawhi and think he's capable of being the best player on the planet, but he can't do it alone.

A 61 win team in a watered down league. They weren't contenders to the Warriors. Don't let game one of the WCF's fool you into thinking that one man wrecking crew was going to beat the Warriors all by himself in a 7 game series. The Warriors would have made adjustments and taken the series in 6 max. People keep looking at the Warriors struggles and think it was all Kawhi and not the fact that they were rusty from a 6 day layoff.
Didn't know you were a Winnie the Pooh fan, Manny.
that's beside the point. you said plenty of people would love to play here.
and yeah, maybe they would... after they've spent their primes with a different team and now they're older... lma, west, gasol... biggest splashes we've made in free agency in years.
