But were a top 3 seed waiting to gel and its only feb.tbh
I’ve never recall Spurs doing a mid-season trade, I don’t know exactly why, maybe Pop doesn’t think he can trust a new guy in the middle of a season, maybe loyalty to players and its long effect to how FA sees Spurs as “good” place to stay. But for whatever reason, I’ve never recall Spurs doing mid-season trade for the 30 years I’ve followed Spurs. I like to be wrong because I really feel we are one good SF from being dangerous in the playoffs, but then again that’s why Pop and RC have been COY and EOY multiple times.

A lot of hand-wringing here, but I guess it shows how high the standards are for the Spurs... If the Spurs are making the playoffs two years in a row after losing Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Green, and Leonard in a two year period, that's pretty miraculous. I pretty much wrote off this season as a transition year, so the idea of winning a le never entered into the equation for me. I still have faith that with two first round draft picks, a healthy D Murray, an older & more experienced Walker, and potential trade chips (DeRozan, Forbes, Belinelli, Poeltl, Pau's expiring contract), the Spurs will compete next year at a higher level than this year.
Don't you think the expectation of competing for a championship the season after Leonard is traded is a bit much?
Malik Rose for Nazr Mohammed, RJ for Stephen Jackson.
Dont forget the banger charles smith
no one is competing for the championship until Durant undoes the most cowardly decision in professional sports history, criticisms of some front office decisions remain and have nothing to do with whether or not they are competing for the championship
Ouch! Yeah, terrible deal. Bad memories.
Time to be real about OP and gotry
Cool story, bro.
Again, championships are the obvious goal, but I just think that too many fans don't appreciate what the Spurs have accomplished in the last two years.
Last year, with Tim Duncan just retired, Parker not 100% after his injury, and their (by far) best player sitting out the whole year, they STILL make the playoffs. Denver didn't even make the playoffs last year, with a healthy young squad!
This year, with their young starting PG out, their 2nd young PG missing an early chunk of the year, and new pieces to incorporate, they're STILL at the #6 spot, ahead of a healthy Minnesota, ahead of Utah, New Orleans, and both Los Angeles teams. Bryn Forbes started the season probably 5th in the depth chart for guards and now-- out of necessity-- he's starting! For most teams, that alone would be the end of playoff hopes.
Didn't they trade Brent Barry for Thomas?
What really sucks is if everything else stayed the same roster wise except Spurs kept DG and Kawhi, we would easily be the first/second seed right now with a legit playoff team. you nephew
Not much can be done as long as DeRozan and Aldridge are our two main options, tbh.
30 years hey... maybe it's alzheimer's.
Malik for Nazr
HWSNBN for Sjax
were both fairly memorable.

its almost like its difficult to recover from having your 3 franchise players age/leave and then the new franchise player you miraculously wound up with demands to leave
The team is actually a whole lot better than I thought they would be at this point in the season. I like how White, Bertans, and Jacob are playing. Walker looks like he might be an NBA player also. If RC does well in the off season this team could be a top 3 team next season. If we make the playoffs this year that is further than what I thought they would at the beginning of the season.
At least we aren't the Lakers.
seriously you googled those.
Okay I stand corrected, but seriously Nazr and washed-up Jackson?? I guess Malik was pretty serviceable and crowd favorite and he got traded. Jefferson was meh. I’m hoping the trend continues and we ship out meh-Pau for someone who can actually defend.
Yep. LeBron is on his way to wrecking that franchise for another decade.
He has already improved, not by great leaps but he is coming back from injury. Give him a chance. Guys like Cojo, Kyle, Simmons, Murray, Forbes, Bertans have all developed into useful players. Those younger guys took them a few years to become solid players.
Haha! I loved the bed-burning of the Lakers' baby core! This could turn out to be a dream come true. LeBron cannibalizes the hated Lakers whle the media finally turns on LeBron.
Hopefully. I like that shot of him on the bench by himself. Probably in the locker room asking Lance Stephenson to still be his friend. Then telling the media he's heading to the club with his good buddy Lance.
Yeah, get Lance t blow in his ear for ole times' sake! Even the sycophantic NBA media-types can't ignore that shot of the pariah on the bench all by his lonesome.
