I still stand firmly behind that statement, tbh.
That's not even close to your worst take, son.
Mine would probably be that I thought that Carmelo and the Thunder would do very well this past season.

My worst take was when I thought it's was a huge mistake to let Gary Neal go. I used the expression "season saving shot" a lot around that time. I also loved and still love many many scrubs.
glad to see you back.
Back? I never left, tbh. In fact, I think I started more threads on these past few weeks than in the rest of my 10 years here.glad to see you back.
Had to do it for him... outside of Dabom's takes on Kiwi's injury return DAF86 strikes me as the one most missing his target recently.
i was also on the AK47 hype train that one summer
I kinda also root for Davis to be successful, specially if he remains a Spur, but I do believe claims that he will be an all star are outlandish... all due respect to DAF86.
if that take gets me on record in this thread as a terrible wrong one, I am fine with that too...
as for Dabom, you do know the ridiculous takes he had on Kiwi's injury... which I really think are him hoping Kawhi was coming back, can't fault him for that... but he had to take on bets to ban himself and all tho. He had to be all so melodramatic about it... couldn't be more wrong on his opinion on Kiwi.
lolTimmy's not a good rebounder in the closing minutes of close out Finals games.
Probably pre-Spurstalk days for me, but I thought the Cavs were insane to take Kyrie over Derrick Williams.
i took a break myself and logged in like 2 days ago and hadn't seen you post recently about all this Kiwi stuff. anyways, thought you were just on a summer holiday or something.Back?

That's easily my worst take that can be legitimately attributed to me. There are some that people have misconstrued (like me wanting to start West), but that one I said straight up and repeated for like a month. Horrible. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I have other zingers out there (just look at the thread from around the time of my OP post). 2013 was a weird year.That's not even close to your worst take, son.

What made this take so bad was assuming Splitter would age well. Dude broke down less than a year later, and LMA dropped 40 on Houston in two back-to-back playoff games. Had that trade been possible, SA would have repeated with a legit shot at a three-peat, and GS as we know it would never have happened. So bad.
Thinking back then (when we didn't know Splitter was never going to play again) that an Aldridge (that would cost twice as much) wouldn't make the Spurs that much better, is not as horrible as saying Aldridge should be the number one option over Kawhi, when we all knew back then that Kawhi was a top 3 player and Aldridge wasn't that good of a number one option for a championship team, tbh.
Let's put it this way: the same person should not have had both of those takes.
I wouldn't say that misreading Leonard was a "bad take" because the data available indicated he was a franchise player. There was really no way to predict what happened.
can't really predict injuries tho.
Who could have known Kiwi would miss 73 games, grow a bone in his thigh and en route to snubbing the team, would ask to be traded to the Lakers.
If someone had made that outlandish claim last summer we would have said, it was a Laker troll.
Yet here we are.
Real life is sometimes stranger than fiction... or something to that effect.
I once argued that Earl Boykins was actually a better basketball player than Avery Johnson.
Now I'd like to hear from some of the people on here who said that Dejuan Whatablair was basically the next Charles Barkley.
Mine wasn't a bad take, but rather, a question that was quickly twisted into a bad take by ST.
During halftime of game 1 of the Spurs-GSW semis in 2013, I asked if Harrison Barnes (who was ballin' that game) was better than Kawhi Leanord.
This place went nuts. I'd never heard of Barnes, but he outplayed Leanord badly that game, so it was a legit question at the time.
I thought Tony Snell was going to be really good
My worst take was that Hill for Kawhi was a bad trade. It wasn’t because of Kawhi which is what people turned it into, but because we traded our good young piece for another when I wanted to keep Hill and add youth like Kawhi.
Tiago just completely fell apart at the end. If he were healthy I still think we would have been better off dumping Diaw instead of him...but the FO obv knew more about his health than we did. Completely shocking that they'd swindle Bud like they did IMO.
I've got a short memory, but I thought the Boston Nets would have been much better than they were. I didn't see them falling apart so quickly and never even being a top tier team either. Even at the time people knew that their window was only ~2 years long and that most likely one of the picks was gonna be good, but I never saw both of them being that great.
Same. I argued (correctly) that Hill was capable of being a starting PG, and that the reins should've been handed over to him and Enrique traded. Basically thought that trading an established player like Enrique would've netted an established piece since I wasn't ready to rebuild--which is the direction it felt like the Spurs were headed towards by adding a raw 19 year old.
Super early in his rookie season, I also made a comment that Kawhitter would always be a below average offensive player. Probably just sour grapes because I really liked Hill.
When I said Manu was done in 2013, tbh...
