Article: The Spurs Worst Front Office Decisions of the Decade

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Not getting Doncic for Kawhi was the worst imo. It would’ve been a welcome good riddance to Kawhi and his uncle if Spurs ended with Doncic who is clearly a generational franchise player. And no way nephew rung with Sacramento. Scola was the 2nd, maybe cost Spurs a ring or two.

What team was going to give up a top 4 pick for a one year rental of Kawhi?

The Spurs system came off the rails in 2017, the end of an era.

ZaZa.

I thought the kings didn’t wanna give up their pick ?

I would’ve given Murray whatever to convince. I think Pop/RC were too stubborn and clouded their decision of what could’ve been a true replacement for Timmy and the new era of Spurs. Spurs could’ve pursued harder.

Did include Gasol's re-signing.


Agreed. I was initially going to include them but it really wasn't on PATFO. LJC tore his ACL like a week after he was drafted and Anderson had a Jones fracture during his rookie season.

My mistake and you're correct. The injuries should be priced in. It's also the case that '13, '14, and '15 drafts weren't very deep and the Spurs couldn't have done much better from where they selected. Mulitinov actually looks like a good pick at his draft position, if not for the post-draft history.
