    This is one of those whiny troll threads but it got me thinking that between the deals they gave out and the age of their entrenched players a long with their diminished production, to really blow this up, you have to trade Kawhi for assets, do a fire sale on everyone else for whatever you can get and tank, go through the entire "process." So you see, there’s no blowing this up.

    I think the Spurs were as close to blowing things up per Aldridge's request this summer but wanted to continue to contend and not tank therefore they balked when they couldn't get value for Lamarcus. Now they are pretty stuck. There's no blowing this up without Really Blowing it Up.
    So it’s not a whiny troll thread if you agree

    If the team continues to play as it has been playing recently, and Kawhi is seriously disgruntled, then
    PATFO may be what gets blown up.

    Patty + Murray + green + kyle and 1st for kemba +batum
    i don’t even really want batum but yah know his contract will prolly be involved in any trade

    kawhi Aldridge kemba and gay, I like our chances
    Spurs wouldn't have to add a 1st if they took the Batum albatross. His shot hasn't been the same since his wrist injury a few years ago and in general he's inexplicably fallen off the face of the earth, like how Green's 3-point shooting did the past 2+ seasons. This is probably the most likely place to ramp up his give a meter, but to what extent?

    Enough to pay a core 4 of Leonard, Aldridge, Walker and him, something like $110M in '19-'20 and '20-'21? Even if they talk him into opting out of his final season and reimburse him over multi years, they'd still cost close to $100M. If your core is that expensive, the star power better be overwhelming and they wouldn't be.

    Instead: Walker, Williams for Mills, Gay, Murray, 1st.

    If we could pull that off, it would be incredible!

    Next summer? Nah, move LMA if you get a good return after his All-Star season.

    Grown men getting so emotional after a bad regular season game in January with key players injured . I'd hate to be in a fox hole with some of these people.

    The Spurs were probably the second best team in the league last year. Injuries have not allowed anyone to judge this year's team. I think they could strengthen several pieces, for sure, but blowing the whole thing up? Not necessary.

    Anderson is one of the most frustrating players ever, dude can be so impactful and I think he can score quite well when he wants too. Dude is just so passive far too much and honestly stats don't lie most of the time.

    Still sucks that we really haven't seen Kawhi, Gay, & Aldridge play together.

    I dont see how SA fans can be frustrated with Kyle? I mean, he’s had a great season all things considered. He’s not a scorer but he’s been damn good overall. Like Boris you probably wish he would be a bit more aggressive with shooting but he’s not a scorer first.

    With the offense as bad as it now, he needs to consistently look for his shot and create. He's one of the few who can ATM.

    Is it really surprising that the team has a below average ranked offense? I mean.... Anderson, Green, and Murray are starting The worst offensive trio of any starting lineup, and it's not close....

    No one said defense didn’t matter. It was an offensive conversation though.

    Any real blow it up has to start with the entrenched culture guys tbh. What point is blow it up to get rid of players who are producing for basically pennies on the dollar to hold on to the past, which you know will come back bc no one wants to trade for them and they want to come back.

    only blow it up I could see happening is a blow it up for Lebron or something of that nature.
