Too bad... OKC just snapped up Patrick Patterson http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/246752/Patrick-Patterson-Agrees-To-Three-Year-$164M-Deal-With-Thunder
Decent signing.
Very disappointed that PATFO can't get any decent deals.
No. The Spurs have to go all in on Murray and future picks. They won't get anywhere by trading them away. Assuming a max contract next year plust Kawhai's supermax then they have to fill the roster with good first round picks that contribute. The Spurs aren't going to get players the way GS does.

That punk loser is damn good. He killed it against the Spurs, but his team sucked. He'll be much better with the Thunder.
People are delusional if they think the Spurs won't at least struggle against OKC. They've owned our ass since they moved to OKC. They backdoor swept us I'm 2012. They nearly won in 2014. They out rebounded us to death in 2015 despite everyone here saying that we had that series in the bag. Without Durant, we still struggled against them. Now they have super Westbrook, still have Adams who's arguably a better big man than anyone on our team, Kanter coming off the bench, and now Paul George who, although not as good as Durant, is still a top 5 SF in the league.
The Spurs would not be overwhelming favorites against them.
I agree that Murray needs more time but do you remember when people said the same about CoJo? He was an asset the Spurs had in their back pocket and they let his contract run out and got nothing for him.
Crawford anyone?
No thanks
If that's the case, then the Spurs didn't put all their eggs in the Simmons basket? We'll see I guess.
Holly !!! How the is 3 years and 164M a decent deal? That's like 54M a year. Presti just got destroyed.
3yr/164M?!? Typo right?
Dit, PATFO!
I hope. AT this point, I am unsatisfied with them standing pat as I have expressed everywhere.
But I am king of expecting Simms to eventually find out MLE is the best he can do right now. At worst, if he really wants to gamble to get paid next season do a 1 and 1 (kinda like Waiters and bet on himself being more consistent and increase interest for next offseason, when 2018 is rumored to be such a down FA class anyways), then sign Pau, sign some center and move on.
Dude - that link is wrong. It's 3 years 16MHolly !!! How the is 3 years and 164M a decent deal? That's like 54M a year. Presti just got destroyed.
Who cares? You start sacrificing character for talent, you screw yourself in the end. You win the right way with the right people or it dont mean a thing. Hopefully you will recognize that.
damn that's some mighty fine truth nuking right therePeople are delusional if they think the Spurs won't at least struggle against OKC. They've owned our ass since they moved to OKC.

Adams against petulant LMA and ancient Gasoft could get ugly
So you really think pg will play beta role?damn that's some mighty fine truth nuking right there

Can't see the link on my phone. Anyways, it only makes the Thunder marginally better.
People here have ing amnesia. Adams and Kanter always have big games against us. And with LMA still fat and Gasol a year older? Forget it. The only advantage we have against them is Kawhi over George. Won't stop Westbrook from eating Fatty and Murray alive though.damn that's some mighty fine truth nuking right there

Agreed. Kanter will actually be useful vs us. Our offense is going to struggle a lot vs them. The longer I think about it the more bleak it gets tbh.People are delusional if they think the Spurs won't at least struggle against OKC. They've owned our ass since they moved to OKC.

We are the third best team in the West but there are other teams that can give us matchup problems. Overall, it really doesn't matter. We aren't making it to the ship til the Dubs are dissembled. If that doesn't happen soon, Kawhi's prime will be lost years. Really not a lot NBA teams can do but wait right now.
I don't know of any character issues. He was due to be a free agent and he told Indiana exactly what he planned to do and gave them an opportunity to trade him and get something back. People don't like players leaving in free agency, but welcome to the new reality of the NBA. He played hard for Indiana and they never got enough talent to win and he wanted to go else where. That's not a character issue.
Have any of you tools actually read every post in this thread?
Frankly better what he did, than be Hayward... bottom line. Hayward didn't give advance notice, told the team to sign some ppl to play with him, and left a team that still had made the playoffs in the tough west and had young talent in the pipeline. Paul George left a much worse situation and the FO (Larry Bird) had destroyed a team that got to the ECF and mismanaged them.
Spurs will be lucky if they make it out of the 1st round next year.
Presti & Morey are cooking this summer
The more I think about it, OKC might actually have a good chance at keeping George. If they finish with a top record and Paul benefits from Russell like the rest of the team did last year, he should have great stats and give himself a chance at an All NBA team. That supermax might be tempting. Imagine... OKC getting George for Oladipo and Sabonis and he resigns. A year is a long time. Basically a Beauty and the Beast scenario. They got him locked up for a year and the petals are falling. Can they make him fall in love and break the curse...
