Not like they had a choice. The autistic bas wouldn't suit up, he wasn't even in the city during the playoffs.
It's a contract year. The smart business decision is to have the season of your life.

Imagine the Bulls treating Jordan like he's special ed in commercials and making PATTY MILLS the star of them.
Imagine spending your summer working out 3 times a day every day, just so Pop can get 100% of the credit come playoff time
Imagine seeing your team be hesitant on paying you, the best player in the league, the supermax contract while they hand out $98,000,000 to Mills and Gasol
Imagine leading the team to back to back 60+ win seasons and a WCF, leave, have your former coach call you out for not being a leader...... AND THEN LEAD ANOTHER TEAM TO THE FINALS
As an expert on things hurting, I don't think this is that painful, tbh. Damage was done when the trade was made. Situation was unfortunate but it was the case of a star player wanting out of a small market. We've seen that so often in the NBA that it should be expected, IMO.In the words of the great timvp, it hurts.
Sure, it'd suck if Neph rings but it doesn't compare to '95, '04, '06, '13, et al.
Tor reaping our benefits
Dubs are the lesser of two HUGE evils, tbh.It’s just basketball, not life or death. Does this mean Spurs fans will be cheering for the Warriors
6 was awful I would never compare it to this. If #2 wins I still go to sleep but when 6 happened it was the fist time in my life I couldn't go to sleep for the whole entire night. Stupid comparison TBH.

PATFO held on to him as long as they could, even built last years roster as if he was coming back. When he told Pop in his face that he never wants to put a foot into the Spurs locker room again, they had no other choice. Trading him for a net negative choker like DeRozan though is completely their fault. The guy got benched in the WCF cause he was a negative on both ends, so the writing was on the wall.
Duncan was this || close to leaving to Orlando, and he is celebrated as the consummate loyal professional. If Duncan was that close to leaving once, stands to reason that a guy who seems to have more interest in branding than Duncan would be tough to retain.
I never understood why the HEB commercials wrote him as a dumbass.Imagine the Bulls treating Jordan like he's special ed in commercials and making PATTY MILLS the star of them.

This was never about that. It was about the way it was handled. Had he done it professionally and they got max value like the Pelicans probably will for Davis, of course I'd still dislike him, but at the end of the day, I could live with it.
They way this played out, this franchise has been gutted. Meanwhile, he's the talk of the league.
How could this not bother you? And why are you still teasing this fan base? You'd have been better off not saying anything as opposed to withholding information.
13 took sleep away from me, but at least I still felt positive about our future. Now everything is so cloudy.
That's what happens when your glorified FO makes an awful trade tbh
Would the truth make this any less painful? He's gone. His name is on very sports show and he's being worshipped. He's gotten more love from the media in a year than Duncan's got in his career.
I didn't even feel positive the Spurs would ring again after 6. Again this is a stupid comparison. After this playoff run is over I could careless if #2 wins 10 le in a row and the Spurs have 10 straight lottery season. He's POS but it's not worth the time and energy paying attention to this guy 24/7 like a lot of posters have done in here including the OP.
It's a tier below those for sure but it still hurts pretty bad.
As a former Nephew fanboy, that saw his greatness before many did, that coined the term Kawhichael, that named my dog after him ffs--it sucks. After avoiding watching TOR all year because of the PTSD, I brought myself to start watching them in the semis (mainly bc I wanted to see Nephew fail) and it's been awful because he just keeps stepping up to the challenge. It hurts even more when you remember that we got the fakest of fake stars in return.

"lowest point," the appropriate emotion is anger, not sadness - directed not at Leonard, but for Spurs for mishandling a transcendent talent.
I hope Toronto makes it to the finals and defeats GS. How any Spurs fan can root for GS is appalling.
I would be in favor of ending this thread cause I'm tired of talking about him but it's the only thing that's being discussed around here so I just roll with it.
This is exactly how far I wanted the Raptors to go. Leonard has taken them the furthest the franchise has ever gone. All the reason to stay there and in the East. This way we only play him twice a year unless it’s a finals matchup. I can just see the headlines now lol
Again why do people want the Raptors to do terrible? So that Leonard can bolt to LA and have the chance to bounce us out of the playoffs every year for the next decade?? Short sighting thinking.
Best thing for the Spurs is for Durant to leave the Warriors, go east, and Leonard to stay in the East
He didn't want us anymore.
In the words of the great timvp, it hurts.
Don't place the blame on PATFO though. The mother er quit on us. Once he realized the extent of his greatness, he got a big head. The quiet dude that used to just bring his lunch pail and went to work suddenly started thinking about like his brand and "freedom".
Are you ing dumb or what? If he quit on us, trade him for ing Timberwolves and let him freeze in an irrelevant hole and get some assets and rebuild.
No, we have to get a mediocre star who will make us too good to tank but to awful to compete, and we become the butt of the joke and the Western Pistons basically, while giving him a platform to shine. Trade him to ing Suns, who gives a .
Its not like this was one last hurrah for Pop to compete, he renewed his ing contract
Spurs fans going to have to choose between the Warriors who took down this organization from the outside or Kawhi who took down this organization from within. A case can be made that it is lower than 6 on paper. Emotionally, I don't think it's as bad though.
As if it is not the Spurs job to make him want to stay here.
There were really no homerun offers though. Every single trade package that was rumored to be out there was going to be pennies on the dollar for a Jordanesque level player.
