"We'll do it again . . ." -- Pop

[DAF86]

What do you expect all nba players to be paid? DeRozan just made All NBA 2nd team. What the is wrong with you?

Yet, his team salary dumped him. What does that tell you?

[T Park]

Before today you couldn't find one sane spurfan in all these years with one positive thing to say about DeRozan.

You did t look ing hard enough then.

[Joseph Kony]

Cunningham is not starting, much less at SF guarantee he will be backup PF

[cutewizard]

Cycles come and cycles go......someday we could be at the top again....

[GrapplingYautja]

So many BETAS in here. I also bet none of you s actually spends a dollar in watching the team during the regular season!

We have one of the best systems in the league. The Spurs are going to be alright. We swapped an all-star for an all-star plus got a back-up big, which we needed. Who else has turned ing ROLE PLAYERS into viable rotation pieces like the Spurs have? Who? Huh, who? Not Phil "Mr. Bermuda Triangle" Jackson, or Steve "Back Ache" Kerr. Get the out of here with you pansies. Small market team. 5 championships! 20+ years of excellence and 'one monkey don't stop the show' (not trying to be racist). We got a fair trade all things considered.

Stop the ing sobbing and borrow one of your mother's tampons!

DeRozan is strong, but he's relatively short armed (6'9''). Expect Cunningham to start at SF, but really it'll be filled by committee, with a combination of him, DeRozan, Belinelli and Gay.

Cunningham as a starting small forward?



Is Chucky Brown not available?

You're literally the only one who thinks this is a salary dump.

Mmh, no. I bet the Raptors GM also thinks that.

They know Kawhi isn't staying with them past this season, in fact, I bet they even made the calculation that he doesn't even play for them this season. Yet, they decided to make the trade anyways because getting DeRozan off the books was worth it.

I can assure you that the Raptors didn't make plans involving Kawhi, in fact they will probably trade him midseason to get more assets for the rebuilding.

Was OKC trading for Paul George also a salary dump? How are he and Lebron expected to do on the Lakers this year?


You've said a lot of stupid things, but trading for a potential top 5 player being a salary dump is going to be one you'll probably never top.

No.

A top 5 player that already leaked that won't play for your franchise.

You were saying teams weren't offering and out of nowhere came the Raptors, competing against nobody, outbiding themselves and offering a second all-NBA guy? If they didn't want to get rid of him they must be really dumb, tbh.

[MannyIsGod]

Paul George said the same things. The Raptors are gambling, no doubt, but it's not a salary dump. There's a reason you're literally the only one thinking that.

To be clear, I'm not advocating it.

Going to be funny for his new mates, when he walks into the locker room, not talking to anyone about anything given all they have heard in the media. Maybe he will sit at his locker all year and not even play. Or fly to NY again and hide out for 6 months. Welcome to the team Leonard.

Yeah, is he even going to show up for the introductory press conference? I'm guessing that'll be handled by Green solo.

[tholdren]

Short sighted view. He just ed the Spurs over for years to come.

Best case scenario: we'll be stucked on mediocrity for the next 3 years.
Worst case: We'll suck with no hope of a speedy recovery thanks to some awful contracts.

Pop has seriously lost it in terms of roster construction.

Lol you dumb

Yeah and here is the thing. The quiet man/anti social routine is fine to a point, when you show up every day and do your job. But he didn't even do that all year long. Nobody knows what to think about this guy? He sure as is not going to tell you..

Watch some news. Pretty much every analyst and GM's of other teams are saying the same things I'm saying. It's win/win for Toronto. If Kawhi plays and they get to keep him, it's a ing home run; if not, it's what they planned all along.

No one is saying that its a salary dump but you. Literally. You may not know the difference between having a plan b incase it doesn't work out and a salary dump, but that doesn't change things.

Gotta show up to be paid from here on.

It is a salary dump with a very unlikely possibility of hitting the grandfather of all home runs, tbh. The absolute low risk/high reward move. It is low-key genius.

I like your spin. It makes sense. And it is pretty much what some guys here are suggesting the Spurs do now: dump Derozan's contract on Minny for a potential home run with Jimmy Butler.

[SpurPadre]

I prefer TD's famous "We'll get it done this time" quote, tbh.

Bruh Cunningham ain’t starting at SF...

I agree. It’s a high upside salary dump. They know Kawhi might not stay. They want him to and want to stay compe ive but they know the downside to this is blowing it up and they are ok with that.

[r0drig0lac]

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.
