Spurs Need to Go All-In

[TheGreatYacht]

No building blocks for the future and a very slim three year window without the cap space to significantly improve the roster. Yeah, the PATFO just set the franchise back 5-7 years just so Pop can stroke his ego for another two years before handing over the reigns to Becky.

Okay, cool suggestion bro.

What does goig all in loook like? Who do we get? How do we get them.

Layout the plan or your just throwing at the wall tbh.

This.
I love Deeps but he must be a Drake fan cuz he is way in to his feelings.
(BTW this is an example of one those "iffy takes" along with Josh Jackson)
This is not a good day. KL is gone.
Spurs might get DD to improve his 3 ball and actually give a damn on defense ...
But there is no path for the Spurs to "win now".
That slim chance is on it's way to Canada.
Spurs will make playoffs and if they catch a break maybe they win a round ...
But that's it and that's all.

Welcome to mediocrity Spur fan I know it has been a long time (for the most part) since you were here but here it is ...

Regardless what about 3 1sts + Gasol (cap dump) for Butler?

Because you don't trade 3 firsts for a rental. LA, PHI, and BOS made that quite clear this summer.

[DPG21920]

What do you think it would take??

Maybe Mills + Bertans + pick. I am not sure honestly, but saying something like that makes a ton of sense.

Just relax you will get what I mean come playoff time.

Maybe it's a risk but I think Jimmy is a perfect Spur and actually exactly what this team needs so if we are going for it and can get a deal done with basically picks I do that trade in a heartbeat

Lol at winning a ship with the trash pieces of pau and mills.id be thrilled if we could package tyem for almost damn near anything

Dude. Getting to a WCF is not a joke or something to scoff at. I get it. The super cool Laker fan who hasn’t made the playoffs in 5 years is scoffing a WCF because they have so much pride on the championship or bust mentality...

Even if you cant be GS, building a great team is the goal.

I think id do mills +both 1sts this season for middleton

The LAL have missed the playoffs more times in the last 5 years than SA has in their 43 year history, so don't lecture us or welcome us to mediocrity. You've done nothing but look UP at mediocrity in recent memory

Yep. Spot on. Really disappointed with this. If the Lakers offered Ingram and a pick at some point that would of been a much better haul than this.

like you said, DPG is usually a pretty smart guy. He doesn’t know what to do or think after this storm tbh

[jjktkk]

OP hates the idea that PATFO is trying to rebuild on the fly, but still contend for the playoffs. Imo OP also is overvaluing the loss of TP and Anderson. Loved what TP did for the Spurs franchise, but the TP of today would have a hard time finding minutes with this current Spur's roster. I'll miss SLOMO's versatility and ballhandling, but the Grizz overpaid for him. I'm now anxious to see how the guard trio of Murry, Walker, and White evolve this year, as well as the new additions of Derozen, Poeltl, Beli and Cunningham.

Just relax you will get what I mean come playoff time.

You're probably going to be right there with us with Rondo as your second best player though. LeBron only got Cleveland to the 4-seed in the East and one of Houston/GSW will be waiting in the second round.

I get what mediocrity is as I've been a Dodger fan for a while and what terrible teams are since I've also been a Raiders fan

That doesn't change the fact that your post doesn't make sense, it's fine though.

Pop about to play his magnum opus, getting these people to the 2nd round.

he's just pissy that the lakers didnt get kawhi

[TimDunkem]

Yeah you need to keep making moves if Pop is unwilling to tank. NBA purgatory (too good to get a decent pick, too bad to contend) is not where you want to be. Sure, you're probably not going to catch the Warriors, but you have to try.

[Mugen]

People are missing OP's point tbh

All he's saying is why stop at Derozan? There are other all-stars that can be had so why stay pat when the front office clearly wants to remain compe ive for at least the next 2 season.

[Mugen]

Killa is fine and welcome on the board but all the hedging he's done on the Kawhi/Lakers situation has probably confused the outta him at this point tbh

Exactly. If we are able to get say a Jimmy Butler with a pick heavy deal, would we not at least be in contention to compete with the Warriors. Lets not forget the Warriors almost lost to Houston this year who I don't think are unbelievable in any way. They can be beat. Give me Butler and our young guys and lets try to knock them off with Pop at the healm

[Killakobe81]

Nope. I have been smiling all day tbh.
Already said I did not want to trade Ingram or multiple 1sts for a injured Player.
If he is healthy we have a shot at him, if not we dodged a bullet .
And even if is healthy and chooses to stay or the Clips he didn't go to Boston or Philly or anywhere else that can win a le.

Life is good, we got Bron.
Yall got DD ...

I just feel bad for Pop.

[picnroll]

If the Spurs suspect Kawhi is broken, I'd trade that protected pick ASAP before it turns into two second rounders.



Kyle would have been a terrible fit next to DeRozan and Murray. Like literally unplayable bad.

If the Spurs end up with two second round picks one would likely be the year they make players coming out of high school eligible, so in effect that would be a first round pick. Spurs would have their first and second and Toronto’s second so three picks from the top 30 of two classes.
