Y'all are a bunch of stupid ing pussies. There were no other desirable trade options. Deng and picks? Robert ing Covington? LMFAO. Come on boys.
The discussion now is 27 mil/yr for DeRozan worth it over having total flexibility in 2020. Those were our options. Blame Uncle Dennis. We are lucky we have actually educated people running this and not a bunch of inbred cousin counting north Texas bums on an online forum.
To be fair though Aldridge was the unquestioned go-to-guy in 73 of 82 games last season (not accounting for days off), so his beef with lack of touches never had a chance to manifest itself. Remember, this is the same guy who didn't like sharing the spotlight with Lillard either. I'm not arguing his love of the city--I think he's a player who doesn't care about the LAs, NY's, etc....but make no mistake...he wants his.
I don't get this line of thinking about how, "Oh, they're adding DeRozan to last year's squad that won almost 50 without Kawhi! They're going to be so much better, 2nd seed, etc etc"
Did nobody notice that the 3 best wing defenders are gone from last year, and 4 if Manu retires?
Forgetting Kawhi, Anderson and Green were good defenders who could soak minutes and play up a spot.
The small forward position now might be the worst in the league.
They kept undersized trash defender Forbes and added another terrible defender in Marco. And a 6-4 SG who will play in Austin in Walker.
Gay can't move his feet on the perimeter anymore, he can't play SF. Bertans stork legs aren't moving him around the perimeter well either.
If you're happy that the drama is over, cool. If you're happy that a paper all-star (in the East only, no chance in West) has been the return and fits the LMA timeline, fine. If you're happy that Toronto, if Kawhi shows up, will win the East and can compete with the Warriors, awesome.
But if you think the Spurs are better with a gaping hole at SF and only Marco to try to fill it ... Well, we'll see
Getting an overpaid, mentally fragile, choking, clinically depressed, no defense SG who regularly has LOW-LIGHTS videos on YouTube ... And not having a small forward on the roster without Green or Anderson ... Ugh
I don’t recall anyone ever having 3 lottery picks and we draft well in the bottom of the 1st round. You don’t believe THE SPURS can get something with 3 lottery picks in the same draft?????
The west is an enigma below GSW for sure...but as is almost always the case in the playoffs the team with the biggest star(s) will go farther, regardless of seeding.
If only rebuilding was as easy as Spurs fans think it is
Teams have been "rebuilding" for decades. Might as well hang on to every last breath of championship aspirations while it's attainable. Blowing up what could very likely be a 50-win team because the road got rocky isn't the way to go, IMO.
To be honest, I can't blame Spurs fans to be naive about rebuilding -- 99% haven't lived through rebuilding.
2018-19 Spurs and onwards are Oklahoma Thunder post-Durant now. A lottery team pretending not to be. It's over.
I will take LMA/DeRozan then over most at this point and I don’t even like DeRozan honestly. But it’s a coin toss. Sa was never going to get a sure thing to elevate them and if they can swing a trade for another semi-star (Kemba, something else?). Boom. They are right there.
They can always blow it up too and move LMA/DeRozan.
if it doesn't work out, pop can always say that he meant we wouldn't do it again.
welcome to ST. you're going to fit right in.
Kawhi might not even play for Toronto, and they know for sure he isn't staying with them after this season. This was purely a salary dump.
you mean 2008-2012 wasn't rebuilding?If only rebuilding was as easy as Spurs fans think it is

tbh, the spurs have never really rebuilt. they were lucky enough to merge into the NBA with gervin, silas and kennon and then they were able to get gilmore. they went through about 4 or 5 rough years and then got lucky with the admiral. then there was the luck of duncan. and for all the flack that fans generate about how awful or front office is, i would ask them what front office has been so great that there teams have been outstanding for two decades and who did not benefit from either the the luck of free agency or the lottery?If only rebuilding was as easy as Spurs fans think it is

lol at folks acting as if the difference between remaining compe ive and being a lottery team is ing Demar DeRozan.
No but I'm accepting of who my franchise is. I criticize them on things like player rotations and such forth but they have done a fine job until now. You nor I know the whole story and what trades were realistic. I knew we were screwed the moment Kawhi asked to be traded to LA. I'm looking forward to moving on from this mess for sure but it is going to take some time. You sir should take a breather too.
Spurs fans are some spoiled MFers. 5 les and only missed the playoffs once in the last 29 seasons?
Yeah, closest thing to a rebuild in Spurs history was the George Gervin trade. But even that ended a couple minutes later when they got David Robinson.
Rebuilds are painful. One day Spurs fans will learn that -- but probably not for at least about three years now, it appears.
Gratis my man. You've probably seen my words reposted here years before I myself had a verified account. I'm from a it was a place. Burgers there and often didn't for their meals.rjv
Answer the question: If SA traded for one known year of Anthony Davis would you be good with it?
Made the playoffs 41 out of 45 seasons. Damn.
Numerous picks?
He is an all-star but an overpaid one.
You think anyone even as dumb as GM's are sometimes gonna give NUMEROUS picks?!
Some good points but if Kawhi cant generate numerous picks even as rental and he is much better and right now still cheaper than DD ...
Why is Derozan getting you numerous picks? unless you talking 2nd rounders ...
DD will give you good scoring for the next couple years and then have some value as an expiring in year 3 ...He is a very good but vastly overpaid and overrated player.
Kawhi did generate numerous picks - SA didn’t take those deals.
Demar has none of the baggage of Kawhi and while he’s not as good he’s still in his prime and under contract. He has value.
