    Dedmon not re-signing with the spurs had to do with money which I can understand. Simmons not re-signing with the Spurs had to do with not getting super overpaid which he has admitting to when he stated that he wanted 50 mil. Horry has a personal vendetta against the Spurs that goes back to '08 and it has to do with the Spurs refusing to re-sign after he was washed up. Horry strongly believes the Spurs are the reason that no other team wanted to sign him back in '08 but he refuses to admit the truth which is that he was washed up. Murray getting benched is more to do with his ego. Judging by the summer league games he is still playing out of control and can't finish along with still having a bad jump shot. These are the things the spurs expected Murray to work on and it's apparent that he hasn't worked on them. Spurs are sending a message to him which is that he's not going to get a starting job handed to him simply by default.
    Re: Murray, still hoping he goes to the staff and tells them he wants to play and that he knows what he has to do. And then goes on to lead the team to a SL le. But that's me ��. Really think LeBron was talking to him about his play and what he needs to do to make it in this league.

    Don't know why people expect Simmons to put up superstar numbers when he didn't have a chance all season. He was stuck watching Manure and Fatty put up stepback 3's all year. It wasn't till the ball was finally in his hands that he was able to showcase himself. He was the second best wing defender only behind Kawhi this season. It will show when Green gets torched in the postseason like he always does.

    I think Pop holds players back. I thought Murray should have played more. Simmons should have been starting with starters minutes. Bertans needs more playing time. Will Pop give Davis Bertans at least 20+ minutes a game? Probably not. He can play the 4 and 5. We're thin at those spots so he should see lots of playing time, but he'll probably have a bunch more DNP-CD's.
    The Spurs were the most winning team in all of team sports for 20 years. Simmons got the break of his lifetime when Pop gave him a chance to play in the NBA.

    Players like Patty love the Spurs way because they overpay for loyalty.

    Yeah, let's become like everyone else and make it a player's team. I'm sure the city of San Antonio can lure the type of talent that the other top teams do. Or if not Kawhi can bring over his banana boat friends.

    In the long run, maintaining the culture is the only thing that will keep us from becoming just another ty small-market team, idiots.

    And if that happens you can do us all a favor and become a Laker fan. I think that would be a net gain for this forum.

    You listed three players, and two of them don't count.

    Aldridge never won more than 54 games in a Blazers uniform. They only reached 50 wins in 4 of his 9 seasons there. In his two seasons with the Spurs, he's seen 67 and 61 wins. If he has a negative opinion of the "Spurs way"? him.

    Why should anyone give a rat's ass about guys who don't value winning as much as... whatever the they value? The NBA is full of Spurs cast-offs.

    Well I'm Pro PATFO, think that needs to be stated. Just a string of players that are wanting out. But you're right about the cast offs.

    Couldn't agree more! We are very fortunate to have enjoyed an incredible run and if that's the "Spurs' Way" then thanks for that!

    Guess how many star free agents det culture has gotten us in the last 2 decades. None.

    It's a super team league now and the Spurs are behind in the 1600's surrounding their star with all around.

    Det culture took down the first superteam of this era and is the biggest threat to the current superteam.

    Look I'd love to get superstars here but it ain't happening. We aren't forming a superteam of our own. I wouldn't compromise the culture and turn it into a player's team just so we can go from having a 1% chance of landing big names to a 2% chance. We'd just turn into another undesirable small-market like Sacramento in the long run with that approach.

    Eh. I know what Horry means about "dumbing it down". Really, you're just reigning it in. My high school coach was like Pop in that way. He told us "you better not dunk unless you KNOW you'll score it". And I was a player that would miss a dunk here and there so I never went for it. Instead I laid it in on breakaways and hey, I scored just as much if not more. It's all about discipline and it sounds to me like the biggest coattail rider in NBA history can't handle discipline like a man. He's really just making himself look more and more like a pussy everyday. It's more comical than offensive. The Spurs Way cares more about the end result than it does a highlight reel play. Give me a W over an L with 4 ESPN top 10 plays any day of the week.

    To me, the whole "Spurs Way" saves us fans and the Front Office a whole lot of headache. It's not guaranteed but how many locker room issues have our guys had? How many guns have been pulled on each other? (Crittenton and Agent Zero). I prefer to save the drama and save the banging their heads against the wall trying to make Player X fit and go with someone maybe not as flashy or even talented that we can count on to get the job done the right way the first time

    Aldridge enjoying the most success in his career yet disgruntled about his stats...

    Simmons being given a chance and cites politics and minutes as to reasons he left...

    Horry saying established players have to dumb down game...

    Dedmon leaving after one year, after getting in the doghouse...

    Murray getting benched in the Summer League...

    Are we finding the right guys? People coming in with the wrong mindsets?

    When you have players like Forbes and White grateful to be here it reminds you of what it's like to find the gems that not only can play but have the right mindsets. I mean White cried talking to Pop. Brandon Paul seems thankful for his shot.

    Some players using PATFO more then they are trying to use them. Spurs rep used against them, leading to players saying the right things to fit in but not having the right at ude where it counts.

    Sensing the end. I can see why they kept Patty. He personifies the Spurs way and is an example with Tony and Manu gone soon, you need someone like Patty to yoke the youth or risk losing the culture. Hopefully PATFO can surround KL2 with right players...
    Good Post raybies.

    Minnesota and OKC found a way to build around their stars waaaaay better thru trades and signings. Meanwhile we're here handing out loyalty contracts and keeping unhappy mother ers who requested trades.
