Yup, the stuttering and constant blinking indicates that he doesn't believe a word coming out of his own mouth. Ownership told him to run damage control for this trade
Its all up to our current core of young players to get better and put the team on the next level because this FO sure won't help them....damn man our Fo is dumb

Confirmed that Chriss is an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. If he were a restricted free agent, keeping him around might make a little bit of sense. But he's unrestricted so the only reason to not waive him is insurance money.
ONE bright spot: sign and trading demar in the offseason... if he doesn't request to be bought out first
Toronto has the cap space to sign him outright. He's walking for nothing (ONE bright spot: sign and trading demar in the offseason... if he doesn't request to be bought out firstif he isn't bought out, of course).
Sean just said it was clear what the Spurs were doing on their trade on the telecast.. Is he also throwing shade at the money grabbing?
Yes. T-O-R-T-U-R-E.

Would be nice if someone spoke out against PATFO tbh.
Much ado about nothing.
Like that roster spot would be used on some impactful player.
Financial issues? Could be, but it's not hurting the team in any meaningful way.
Damn man, really miss the days when it was the good Peter Holt owning the team.
Seems like the Holt children are only using the team to make money. That hedge fund buying into the Spurs makes sense now.
So all Spurs Fo has to show after the trade deadline is a scrub with a broken leg? Please someone defend this!
This is actually a really good silver lining - if the move is penny-pinching, it really lowers the probability of DeMar being offered a big deal this summer. Let the guy walk off to greener pastures... Much better than having to watch him on the team, tbhONE bright spot: sign and trading demar in the offseason... if he doesn't request to be bought out first
Ownership, FO, and coaching need to be on the same page to succeed. Right now sounds like a bunch of different goals. Sigh.
I imagine Peter Holt gave some leeway to PATFO as long as they stayed under the lux tax. Seems like his son is more into the Sarver style of ownership.
This is so crappy if that’s all there is to the scenario. Our FO incompetence is kinda bailed out by this ownership approach.
Very sad and doesn’t bode well for basketball success. Maybe they are trying to sell?
Deflating as a fan. What message are they sending the players and coaches?
there's going to be a massive power grab after pop retires. I just hope they hire a strong coach to succeed and stand up to ownership, but who we kidding.
Turning into the phoenix suns without the lottery picks tbh
It's crazy that some folks are still coming in here and arguing this isn't a big deal. This trade is deeply horrifying with the news that the Spurs will have to keep Chriss on the roster to realize savings. It's one thing to sell salary space you don't think you'll need for a bit of extra cash. That was bad enough to be a huge cause for concern. It's so, so, SOOOOOO much worse to en ber a roster spot for the rest of a season to give the owners a few hundred thousand bucks. That's completely and selfishly hamstringing your front office for what is ultimately a drop-in-the-bucket amount of cash. It takes it from a trade where you start to question the Spurs' character to where you no longer question the character because you know how bad it is. Any action the Spurs take so long as this current ownership group remains has to be interpreted in the least generous lens as possible.
Don't tell sniffers that, bruh. They'll call out your fanhood.
Tell me, from a basketball perspective, what kind of damage was done?
How does this deal impact the team?
What kind of upgrade could be had instead?
While in principle it's bad (selling out for some cash) but is there really anyone from the buy out market who has big enough of an impact who has chance to sign with spurs? It's a 13-15th man roster spot. They won't really change the team that much. The team has a lot of gaps and a random 15th man is not going to fill even partially that gap.
Next year we have many expiring contracts. So we will get roster spots anyway. And we can trade away chris's as a salary filler for any sign and trade if any.
They lost a roster spot that could've been used to check out a G-league/Euro/China prospect or just to sign a body that could play some minutes to spell some of the legit players on this roster. Team desperately needs another big but now they can't get one.
And all that wrist cutting for that?
An end of bench type of player / long shot prospect.
Give me a break.
