Short sighted view. He just ed the Spurs over for years to come.
Best case scenario: we'll be stucked on mediocrity for the next 3 years.
Worst case: We'll suck with no hope of a speedy recovery thanks to some awful contracts.
Pop has seriously lost it in terms of roster construction.
The thought that the Spurs are somehow missing out on something that wasn't going to happen the moment Kawhi decided to be a is just laughable.
aldridge situation was a perfect storm. the spurs having max slots available is almost never relevant.
Pop doesn't want to coach a rebuilding team in his final 2 years..I don't agree with it and neither do most fans here, but he's earned the right to leave on his own terms..
I strongly dislike DeRozan, but he was by far their best option for a win-now piece..actually, it sounds like he was the only option
Best case? Spurs are the second best team in the West this season. They won 47 with zero production from Kawhi. Houston is going to be worse this year. Likely - no. But possible they’re second fiddle to the Warriors.
Worst case? You move Derozan in a year, and can start the rebuild next summer by buying out Pau for his $6 million. Patty will also be very moveable in a year after FA.
And hope the young guys develop. If they catch lightening in a bottle with Walker, could be a lot of fun.
I thought the Spurs could make more moves this offeseason but it seemed like Pop is fine with this current roster.
Anyway...We'll do it again!
That's exactly why they should have tried to get as many prospects and draft picks as possible, instead of an overpaid "star" that everybody knows will never be able to lead a team to anything relevant.
They will. I joined this board to be around Spurs FANS. Some of you gots, es, pussies are BETA lame cucks! I'd check your wife's phone because someone's sliding in her DMs.
We have Murray, LMA, DeRozan, Gay, Gasol with Mills, White, Walker, Belinelli, possibly Manu. That's not too bad. We need guys that have some sense of TEAM, character, not just "ballers" and stat padders. Coach Pop and his squad are going to COACH our dudes up. Spurs have ALWAYS been a solid defensive team. We just upgraded a little bit on the offensive side.
You don't like what roster Pop and RC cook up then go be a PLAYER fan and get the out!
Also, it'll be glorious eliminating the Lakers in the playoffs, too. ( Serial Killer Rob Lowe and AIDS Johnson.)
This trade was more on RC than Pop it seems. We got a lottery pick in Poelt'l, first round draft pick, and a scoring machine that gets to the line. You're too negative bro.
Who is going to take him?
i think we are going to have to accept that the spurs weren't seriously going to compete for a while unless they landed another kawhi like gem in the draft. or we go full on tank for assets like the celtics and sixers did.
spurs already have attendance issues with a reasonably compe ive team. i dont think they can afford to tank quite frankly
The Spurs are not going to just tank man. Its a financial reality that you and others should stop dreaming about. Right now the Spurs have 3 young prospects in White, DJ, and Walker. Lets not act like the cupboard is bare.
I'm sure they could have got an Irving or Butler if they really tried.Pop doesn't want to coach a rebuilding team in his final 2 years..I don't agree with it and neither do most fans here, but he's earned the right to leave on his own terms..

Yeah the market on all nba all stars is non existant. Are you ing serious with this ?
my only concern is that Derozan gets depressed and plays like
"I'm sure"
Based on what?
Pop is clearly senile.. let him enjoy his last 2 years... RC has to go too
People on ST always assume the Spurs can get anyone they ing want even when media reports are saying that Boston didn't want to give up JAYLEN ING BROWN and the 76ers ouldn't give up FULTZ. But yeah, I don't understand why the Spurs didn't just trade for Irving or Jimmy Butler. So weird, right?
Nobody wanted to touch that derozan contract.still straight up for kawahi hes probably the most talented player spurs could nab
The Spurs didn't want Kyrie. Or they didn't want to help C's and Ainge...Who knows.
Boston won't admit it in public but many reports said they offered Irving for Kawhi when the offseason started.
He'll be fine after taking some Prozac.
Yeah. It's not like DD is Pau or anything. There's usually some GM willing to take what you have off your hands. We see it every season.
