Yep. Further proof that the Spurs' FO are just cheap bas s after all...
The Spurs managed to draft two players with one pick? Cool.

haven't they been winning?
I couldn't have been because the Celtics have been god awful the last years is it? Except for a year or to.
WTF?
You can have next year's pick.
I'll roll with Artest.
Ahhh.....so nice to see I'm not the only one here who's not completely blinded by homerism.
why does it matter how they get players draft, trades, waive wire, or free agents? The spurs still have 4 les right? its not like they are the clippers or some team that is always bad
How about back in the ABA when the Spurs traded with the New York Nets and got center Billy Paultz, All Star forward Larry Kenon, and physical defensive guard Mike Gale (60% of their starting five the next few years) for journeyman forward Rich Jones, out to lunch center Swen Nater, and scrubs Chuck Terry, Kim Hughes, and Bobby Warren. I think it was the year before the merger.
Ironically, the Nets won the last ABA le that year with those former Spurs (and, of course, Dr. J , Super-John Williamson and Brian "Fatty" Taylor) but eventually that bad trade came back to haunt them and the Spurs continued to thrive after the ABA-NBA merger.
The spurs were the best last year. Its a new year, many teams are better and have changed since last year.
The Spurs were run by a different front office then. I also liked the Gervin move.
Because it shows how competent a front office is in how they acquire their players. I'm still not so sure the spurs front office can field a winning team without the lucky lottery picks of Robinson and Duncan.
So you are not happy with the Spurs' 4 rings in 9 years beacuse they are the result of two first picks and stealing TP and MG in the second round?
You'd rather root for the Suns or the Mavs, who put together a team through trades?
Ok
It has nothing to do with rooting for any team. 4 rings is nice but you better damn win some championships if you get Robinson and Duncan in the draft lottery and those two span 6 years of playing together.So you are not happy with the Spurs' 4 rings in 9 years beacuse they are the result of two first picks and stealing TP and MG in the second round?

This thread is about the spurs ability to make a major trade where you can really say they got a steal of a deal like some other teams are able to pull off.
smeag, what we are bemoaning is that if the Spurs front office was ever able to bring in a bonafide starter via a trade or free agency -- not a star, but not another team's castoff -- the team may have 6+ rings right now.
Furthermore, we're looking for evidence that the team will be a contender in 2015 A.D. (After Duncan™).
You're worried about 2015?
first it was this
now this
make up your mind
Hedo Turkoglu, acquired in a trade, was a "bonafide" starter in SA and is currently so with the Magic.
Derek Anderson, signed as a free agent, was a "bonafide" starter during his time in SA.
Not that I expect this to end the mindless ing spam attack on this forum, but for those who actually care about truth and seeing this team succeed instead of fulfilling their stupid fetishes.
Yeah, those guys stuck with the Spurs.
Nice cup o' coffee.
What don't you get?
Make moves to win now... every year!
In the future, I hope the Spurs don't decide to get real bad in order to get real good again.
So now they have to stay with the Spurs? For how long?
Stop being a bag.
Make trades every year? What are you going to do if they don't? Oh wait, we know the answer.
Hoorah... the Spurs got Hedo and D.A. for a couple of seasons.
Who needs ping-pong balls?
Chicago and Houston, for starters.
How did the Bulls get Pippen and Houston get Drexler again?
