TPark is the Jim Cramer of basketball. If he says it's a disaster, there is reason to hope.
This is really the main issue. Fine PATFO, you want to run it back with a 22 win team with your new shiny toy to see what you have together, but it's also just weak to not take advantage of your huge salary cap room and make some offers on players that'll better your team.

LOL everyone thought our cap room meant we were gonna sign someone, nope still tanking, no need for improvement.
What the Spurs are doing now is fine.
If the Spurs went after Lillard or Herro or Reaves, it would have been fine.
Lots of ways to build from here, which is kind of the beauty of how the Spurs have set themselves up. It's all just which flavor of ice cream you prefer from this point.
Punting Wemby rookie year won't matter. Health and Dame trades are the only thing that could make this rebuild fail. I hope FO does not try to be a dumbass and try to get good too fast. They can't erase a Dame type mistake even with the 100 second rounders they have.
Count me in the camp of saying thanks, but no thanks.
Dame is a great player, but acquiring him now when he’s on a long-term, expensive contract and on the wrong side of 30 and would take minutes away from our young players in an effort to win now seems like the kind of “big, costly” mistake that this front office is seeking to avoid.
I also have no interest that the Spurs sign Lillard. One big veteran signing (with a 2 year contract) would have been great just to get some experience into the locker room. Overall it looks like the Spurs will be in the next lottery again because I do not think Wemby alone will turn around this ship immediately. Hopefully he does enough to win RoY, then has enough upside to take MIP a year later ... and then the Spurs will probably be an much more interesting destination for veterans.
Love Dame, but rather hit the cap floor and run it with the current guys for two years, then go from there. Hopefully Miami can get him without giving up too many of their blue collar dudes
I didn’t. Spurs said “We’re going to run it back for a year to see who/what works with Wemby”, and I believed them.
I think if we’re still struggling to win games with our current situation, we’re gonna get a little aggressive at the trade deadline
It’s really a mystery why any young team with no le aspirations would want Lillard with that contract. The spurs will have zero flexibility if they get Lillard. That treasure trove of frp will be severely depleted to trade for Lillard and if he doesn’t work out (injuries, fit, just not good enough) then no team will give up anything that can help with the spurs taking a step to improve.
It will be four years of mediocrity with hands tied and no where to go if we get Lillard.
I’m still in the camp of waiting for doncic to be fed up with the Mavs, then the spurs can trade their FRPs for him when he demands a trade. That’s gonna be in the next two years.
nobody actually did
Everyone who's a long time fan should've.
Spurs don't make big moves. Happens like once per decade. And this wasn't the summer to make a big move.
Given that he's not a free agent and he doesn't have a no-trade clause, what does it even matter?
Also, anyone else think it's hilarious that he demanded to be traded from a team being rebuilt with youngsters and is fascinated by... a team being rebuilt with youngsters?
he can play with another franchise player here
Where do you think those rings came from? From being ty in 1986-87 and winning the draft lottery for David then being ty in 1996-97 and winning the draft lottery for Tim.
Darn, man. I thought you were a big supporter of the front office? Are you genuinely pissed off with the moves they've made since getting the number 1 pick?
I'm actually OK with it for once as this free agent class really sucked. Maybe I was interested in Austin Reaves and Brook Lopez, but not many others stood out to me to make a hard push for.
I'll ask again to anyone that can answer, if the Spurs had of put in an offer to Austin Reaves, could they have front loaded it so the last two years aren't too big to still allow them to sign someone in the 2025 FA class? If so, I think they should have taken a gamble.
I have the answer for you.

What about Scoot?
No. The offer would have fallen under the “Arenas rule.” The actual salary would have been backloaded so that the Lakers would have had room to match if they so chose, but the cap hit would have been equal all four years.
The question isn't whether the Spurs should take on Lillard. He's going to Miami by hook or by crook.
The question is whether the Spurs should take on Herro.
That's a much tougher question tbh...

The Trail Blazers do not plan to cooperate with Damian Lillard on his trade request to the Heat, per @wojespn:- Portland “open for business everywhere in the league” on trading Lillard.- Blazers seeking a combination of young players, draft picks and cap relief.- Miami has… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
To be fair, the Spurs have need at his position. If you actually believed his bull about Spurs and Culture and Team like every other player who really just wants to go to Miami, San Antonio is a better fit than Portland.
