Give it a stop, Spurfan can't stop grieving yet; the 40 day grace period has yet to pass.
Typical spoiled brat Spurs "fan" response. Anyone notice how obsessed these guys are with male privates?

If all they're really lacking is an SF to play 10 mpg they're doing OK.
The Spurs signed two replacements for two departures. They still don't don't have a true backup PG or SF and only have two competent bigs. They haven't gotten better at all.
Yup. Ignore that Corey Joseph kid who's 21 and further developing as the back Up pg I guess...
Diaw is incompetent? Corey Joseph isn't a pg?
If my base state was "a couple of lucky bounces from a ring", I think getting better would be a bit difficult.
Spurs are exponentially more mentally tough than their fans on this message board. Wah wah wah we lost game 6. We didnt get any big free agents. Man up weak ass spurs fan.
As I have stated in other threads, Spurs don't necessarily need a PG but a playmaker that will play the role that once was Manu's. We need another playmaker alongside Parker so that during crunch time, the team's offense would be more unpredictable. Sadly, the Spurs were not able to address that due to various reasons.
For all we know we might get Andre Miller in a trade soon. I don't want to touch him for now though, he's a worse second round virgin than T-Mac.
To those that keep arguing that the offseason isn't over as a defensive mechanism for the ty job that the FO has done so far, what will happen if the Spurs lose out on Greg Oden?
What will happen if the Spurs fail on their trade attempts and end up staying pat come regular season time? What will your defense mechanism be then? "Oh we still got till the trade deadline. We were only 28 seconds away from winning it all. I'm sure the FO will make a move before the trade deadline."
What will you'll be saying if the FO has failed trade attempts after the trade deadline? I wonder what the new defensive mechanism will be. My guess is the 28 seconds excuse. "Oh I'll never question Pop and the FO. We have the best FO in the world. I have faith in them."
Hmm Andre Miller? Possible but not sure about his defense, if he is any better than Neal.
BTW, is Tmac not anymore part of the team? I believe he could fill the back up SF position and do a decent job on that role. He just needs to get his shot back and also his conditioning.
He's a free agent as of July 1. Not that either camp has said anything.
Putting hope on Oden and his knees
You just hate everything about this team, don't you?
We have nobody to "assist" the ball? You must have only been watching Manu in games 6 and 7 last year. Team assists per game last season:
#1 SAS 25.1
#2 ATL 24.5
#3 DEN 24.4
#4 LAC 23.9
etc.
And had the #2 assist / turnover ratio. We have a great passing team - Tim, Tiago and Diaw are the best passing front court in the league. You want a team that can't pass? Indy, who still thinks George Hill is a starting PG (worst in league in A / TO).
I would love for Green and Leonard to develop their passing some.
Although everyone would like a big blockbuster trade, it is likely we are going with what we have. About six weeks ago that looked pretty good if I remember correctly. I'm sure RC and Pop haven't forgotten about the 'hole' behind Kawhi. Don't think Manu is their first choice for backup PG, SG, and SF.
I think Whiwhi's getting there as a passer. Don't think his APG will e (because if he ever causes a defensive breakdown, it's likely to generate hockey assists) but his inbound passing is great (remember that Manu GW against Golden State? Kawhi should get credit for recognizing that the Dubs would help off Manu).
Cory Joseph will be a good backup PG next season. When you look at what he has done late in the season at his age and with so little experience, that's very promising for next season. His summer with Canada NT should also help him.
For the backup SF spot, I will wait to see what happens with Blair before definitively commenting.
Not consistently competent, no. Corey Joseph is still wet behind the ears to be a true backup to TP.
And 27 three's from Danny Green.
well I guess bill belichik and rob kraft are idiots too? they haven't won since 2007 either. so the patriots are a bad organization.
you are way too emotional. winning championships are easy. getting there this year was a big deal. that is not failing. some of you guys play way too many video games, where you stack it and get there all the time.
plus as it stands right now kawhi will get most of those minutes anyways. if a team has a big physical SF then in comes diaw or bonner again. if it is a smaller guy then green or ginobli can play a couple minutes there too. if it is durrant or james it doesn't matter who you have as your back up.
would I like to see a true SF there? sure. but we still have options especially if deshaun thomas ends up coming in. he seems like a kid that wants to work hard an make a difference this year. so I would count him out completely.
you do understand that you are ragging on a FO that wins 50-60 games every year, right? we can go all cuban if you want and change everythng and then become a lottery team? we can be the hawks and be young every year and get nowhere every year?
so we can either trust a couple guys that have been successful the past 15 years in the NBA or a tirading teenage girl whose emotions run wild when they don't do it YOUR way!
we went to the finals last year, why do we need an overhaul? would I like to see some younger more athletic guys come in? yes. but not at the expense of turning into the mavs, wizards, or hawks!
so for now I will trust pop and RC over your emotionally based tirade outbursts!
