Spurs are going to be a sparring partner this season

[slick'81]

With the west being that balanced and a lot of teams improving, I would've liked for the Spurs to do a little more than just signing Demarre Caroll and calling it a day

The only other realistic option barring a trade is cousins tbh

Spurs make possible AD to Lakers and PG to Clip.

They does not take any assets from any LA team.

I think Toronto is going to waive Gasol he has a massive 25M this year and they will not compete for Champ.

Spurs fans already sharpening their imaginary razor blades, per par.

Why waive Gasol it’s not like they are big free agents available- They might not win the East but they probably still a top 3 team there.

He was never ever going back to Toronto. His knee is close to shot and he needs someone to do the heavy lifting in the regular season.

He was never going back to Toronto, but not because he needed help (Toronto had plenty of that).

The reason Kawhi left Toronto is that he wanted a long-term deal and, therefore, Toronto couldn't be an option.

His reasoning was like this (1) my "knee is close to shot" as you put it, therefore I need a long term deal, and (2) no way I'm signing that long-term deal with Toronto.

To sign a 1-1 deal with Toronto was simply too big a risk with his injuries.

I honestly don't get the Lakers hype at all. They're literally an old ass lebron and an injury prone AD surrounded by scrubs. I'd put them at 6 or 7 out West at best.

Yep. Actually could miss the playoffs if one of their big two is out for an extended time.

Lots of good teams out west. Can you imagine if Spurs play clippers in the first round as an 8th seed? Better to tank.

That would be the worst match up ever.

Who cares about what other teams are doing?! I have faith in the Spurs. There will be growing pains but we will eventually rise to the top. We are one of the few organizations in the last couple of decades who have won championships through internal,organic growth. We will get there again. Have faith.
