You think that Demar ing DeRozan is going to sell any kind of tickets?

Also, there were others options that could have mantained the Spurs a playoffs team and didn't involve taking on DeRozan's cancer play and contract. Like getting Saric and Covington.

Brah, Spurs fans get hard over turds like Bonner, Mills, and washed up mummies. You seriously think DD can't sell a few tickets? Anything is better than only having LMA and an MIA Kawhi.

Sure we would rather have Butler, or some might prefer Irving, but those deals weren't there. Had they been, we would know.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

DeRozan himself? No, but having him will keep the Spurs in HCA discussions, which is what they need right now..like him or not, he's a very good regular season player..

Spurs desperately need high-level scoring, did you forget last year's team? they lost like 10 games after blowing double-digit leads in the 4th due to not having a shot creator..

Still wish SA got Siakam or OG included.

[MannyIsGod]

I would have taken one year of Irving over three years of DeRozen.

Makes zero sense to trade for Irving considering the makeup of this team and the fact he's coming off of surgery. Might as well roll the dice with Kawhi.

I don't believe Boston was offering Irving, though. They won't trade Brown but they're going to trade Irving? Ok.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Durant wasn't available Manny

But but .. if only they had picked up the phone and asked he would have been! Definitely!

[Mr. Body]

Best case? Spurs are the second best team in the West this season. They won 47 with zero production from Kawhi. Houston is going to be worse this year. Likely - no. But possible they’re second fiddle to the Warriors.

Worst case? You move Derozan in a year, and can start the rebuild next summer by buying out Pau for his $6 million. Patty will also be very moveable in a year after FA.

And hope the young guys develop. If they catch lightening in a bottle with Walker, could be a lot of fun.

Spurs make the WCF by knocking off the Lakers. You heard it here first.

[MannyIsGod]

Spurs probably just didn't call GSW. Hope I'm wrong.

[TheGreatYacht]

Duncan isn't walking thru that door. What exactly is Crater face planning on doing again?

They were willing to trade Irving because the word is he wants to play in New York. Worst case scenario is the Spurs get cap relief next season.

[DAF86]

Because you think that the Spurs can get whatever they want for one severely undervalued asset but you don't think they'd be able to move a repeat all star who has made all nba teams. Its inconsistent AF.

No, not whatever they want. I'm talking about two disgruntled stars, one who (according to sources) was actually offered.

Also, our undervalued asset was still more desirable than DeRozan's contract. That's why the Raptors attached a former lottery pick and a future first round pick to their ty player with ty contract.

[Kori Ellis]

Reality is that the Spurs weren't going to win a le with a healthy Kawhi next season. Also, the Spurs weren't going to get a "star" back for a top-3 talent with a "bum leg" and a bottom-3 at ude.

Spurs won 47 games without Kawhi playing and with Kawhi wreaking all kinds of havoc. And you guys think all of a sudden without his cancerous presence putting a cloud over the whole team that the Spurs are going to be cellar-dwellers? nah.

Sure, I wish the Spurs got something more than DeRozan and Poodle, but it is what it is. Hopefully some of the young guys will surprise us.

i was just telling my son last night that we would wait and see on the spurs roster as to what amount of games we will catch this season. i'm far more encouraged to see some now than i was yesterday.

I don't think anybody thinks that, tbh.

Any move they would have made, would have kept the Spurs in playoffs contention. That's why there was no need to take on DeRozan's awful contract.

So generous

[mexicanjunior]

Garbage deal...

[picnroll]

Going to be more fun watching Murray, White and hopefully Walker than watching last years team for sure.

[Spur|n|Austin]

They will. I joined this board to be around Spurs FANS. Some of you gots, es, pussies are BETA lame cucks! I'd check your wife's phone because someone's sliding in her DMs.

We have Murray, LMA, DeRozan, Gay, Gasol with Mills, White, Walker, Belinelli, possibly Manu. That's not too bad. We need guys that have some sense of TEAM, character, not just "ballers" and stat padders. Coach Pop and his squad are going to COACH our dudes up. Spurs have ALWAYS been a solid defensive team. We just upgraded a little bit on the offensive side.

You don't like what roster Pop and RC cook up then go be a PLAYER fan and get the out!

Also, it'll be glorious eliminating the Lakers in the playoffs, too. ( Serial Killer Rob Lowe and AIDS Johnson.)

Not just this, you could see a clear divide once all the drama started. The schedule got a lot tougher, but the team's performance suffered in excess of that.

You'll see plenty of Walker in Austin, if you're interested

Post of the decade tbh. I wish all the cliff jumpers would jump already.

yep, unfortunately with DD it likely means less time for Walker and perhaps White.

Boom.

[offset formation]

The thought that the Spurs are somehow missing out on something that wasn't going to happen the moment Kawhi decided to be a is just laughable.

[jbspurs]

I like this trade. On defense, Spurs lost a little on offense Spurs will be better. I think the ball will rotate more and back to beautiful basketball. No more ISO for Kawhi and hopefully less post up for LA.

[offset formation]

There are many reports that indicated that the Cletics indeed offered Irving, tbh.

And Butler is another disgruntled star that will leave his team in the offseason. If they would have picked the phone and started to discuss possibilities, I'm sure they could have got somewhere.

Yeah, I wish RC would have used a phone. I mean, what a lazy pos. Amirite?

You're an idiot.

[rastaspur]

Derozan and pop have a decent bit in common.

Both are crater faces. Check.

Both sought friendship/comradeship early in life by joining an organization. Pop chose the air force. Demar chose the crips and wore his blue uniform every single day to high school.

Yep. They're birds of a feather. We found our next duncan.

I'm content and can breathe a big sigh of relief.
