He was/is a legit top 3 player.
It's not like Murray was getting playing time when he was on the roster.
Green was inconsistent as .
Forbes wasn't even getting mins
Gay wasn't on the roster
Parker was a s of himself
Manu was on the verge of retirement
Aldridge played pretty poorly aside of the 1 year Leonard missed
Bertans was buried on the bench
etc.
He was/is a legit top 3 player.
Because he was a freaking beast
Top 3 player, elite team defense, very weak compe ion around the league that season..
To be fair, Aldridge was absolutely dominant in the 2nd half of the season..
Because we had Manu, Green, Anderson next to him. If we still had those kind of wings, we would be good.
He must be so relieved to play for a team with a proper future in Toronto. Must be cracking up looking at the current state of this roster
Green, Kawhi, OG, Siakam, Miles, Powell. Any of those wings is better than the se have outside of DD.
Wings, that's how you win games nowadays. Folks still worried about PG or bigmen.![]()
and he's good, kind of a legend level
even Malaquias Richardson (or Lorenzo Brown) would be one of the best athletes of SA, and he does not even have space in toronto
Tony Parker was a better point guard than both Mills and Forbes combined. He may not have put up gaudy numbersbut he could still run the offense. Manu made Paddy tolerable off the bench. Replacing wing stop with Forbes and DeRozen was also a major fail.
The spurs team overall was a lot better in 2017. Gasol wasn't trash in his first year here and was stroking it from deep. Simmons was still here, as was Dedmon and David Lee who was solid for us. Much better role players around him than the scraps we have now Imo
Answered your own question
He won dpoy and finals mvp for a reason
this roster is absolute trash, even Kawhi wouldn't get this squad to 50 wins tbh
They're loaded with wings. How in the actual do you not snag one?
(which is even more bizarre when you give up DG too)
Poodle power thats why.you know pop saw this 7' white stiff and fell in love tbh
The guy with the white head band on the Spurs >>>>all this guys on the raptors
Masai is a snake oil salesman. Probably sold PATFO in Poodle being a 9th overall pick.
We the Pacers over in the Kawhi trade back when and then we get ed in another Kawhi trade.

Pop needs to see if he can dump Aldridge for Butler. I've been saying this for years, even though Butler might be a team cancer it's worth the risk.
Like I told yall, Kawhi is smarter than we give him credit for. He saw this bull . Popovich aint trying to win . he's just trying to get into the playoffs each year for a 1st round exit to keep his playoff streak going. Selfish . We should have traded Leonard for a 2019 first round pick to a garbage team. Traded Aldridge to a garbage team for a 2019 first round pick and tanked. That would have gave us 3 ing lottery picks in a draft this year that's STACKED. BUT NOOOOO. Yall mfers talking about we got too much pride to tank. We didn't have that pride in 97. I'm thinking bout the future. I'll give up 1 year if it means 10 more of greatness.
Poodle is ing trash. We lost wingstop for this got? Pop and RC's white Euro fetish won't ever go away.
Think Kawhi liked playing with those guys. Weren't they all gone the following season?
Who? What?
