Is it too early to start the Blame Tony Blame Game party?
He has been on fire so far. Spurs desperately could have used him.

Who knows if RC had any choice. Kawhi had put the Spurs in a bad position.
dam man. raptors look good. looks like we'll get our pick this year.
ing fleeced.
Should've been Mills instead of Green and we needed to get in addition to Poeltl and the pick one of OG and Siakam if not both.
Complete fleece. Gave them $5M to help with the tax payment due to Kawhi's 15% trade kicker, too.
We knew we got robbed when they goth both Kawhi and Danny and his cheap contract and we didn’t get either OG or Siakam.
But Danny’s contract was key to the trade bc it made the numbers work salary-wise IIRC.
Yeah true and I know they had to make salaries match. Still early days but god damn does Danny look amazing
And Kawhi too
Depressing... really depressing! Green and Leonard showing the Raptors how it's done in crunch time.
Also, somehow Ibaka is back to his old OKC form. This team is scary defensively!
Enough of the ing the Spurs had zero leverage with them. None whatsoever with Kawhi scaring off every team in the league with his demands to go to LA.
I know. However, the Raps were already shopping DDR. That needed to get used to also destroy their own trade leverage.
Pop didn’t wanna give up Mills. He wanted his ass licked every night. Patty obliged.
Raptors have all the assets that I had hoped the Spurs would get after Duncan.
They got a mobile shot blocking big in Ibaka.
A top notch point guard in Lowry with a pretty good backup in Van Vleet.
Green and Leonard - really the two guys who anchored the Spurs elite defense.
Two long, athletic and young guys - Siakam and Anouby
It's depressing to watch!
They were not going to take on a ty contract on Mills knowing that there is a huge possibility that Kawhi bails on them next summer. What benefit would have been to them to take on Mills big contract which had 3 years left on the books? Spurs were put in a position where they couldn't win. Taking DDR was the best they could get to mitigate the damage. It's what is. Green and both Kawhi will bail on the Raptors next summer and this trade will end up looking better.
tbf, if walker would be healthy no one would care. It's the patty mills shooting guard that got ya down....
I still think fair value could've been had from the Clippers while still maintaining integrity by sending him to the wasteland LA team over the Lakers. I think the leaks about West wanting to do anything to get Kawhi were true. The Raptors deal was at least the 2nd best we were offered. Lakers/Celtics/76ers all gave joke offers. Still, Kawhi/Mills for Harris/Harrell S&T/12&13 picks/future first (2021?) would've been a much better deal.
Spurs had no chance to get a great trade and they managed to get a pretty good one. Pushed Kawhi into the other conference and got a top scoring guard. Everything was Leonard's fault, nothing the Spurs FO could really do.
no way we were offered 3 1sts. And no one would take Mills or Gasol's ty deals. That's front office suicide.
RC didn't even try. So we'll never know . . .
If the Spurs got that type of deal with the Clippers it would have still been a deal. Spurs would be basically the same team they were last year which is Lamarcus and a bunch of role players. Green having a career year with the Spurs would be pretty much meaningless in that scenario. Also you can't guarantee any of those draft picks would have resulted in a star.
The image is disgusting... but have to give you props for attempting humor.
Think there’s a few trolls that have lost their sense of humor once their prior schticks moved on elsewhere...
Sad times. It was bad enough to move Kawhi but the wing stop duo...
You still in the denial stage of grief.
That’s true. Hurts that they sent Danny too considering the Paddy/Apocalypse duo.
Agree with K... above tho. Had Murray been healthy together with White and Walker I’d feel a lot better about the team. Injuries sucks
