I knoew RC was going to destroy this franchise someday. I just didn't think it was going to happen so soon after Duncan retired.
You realize Pöltl put up above average stats last year and earned himself 140 playoff minutes. He’s no slouch. In fact, look at how his second season compares with Capela’s:

To me, he’s lower risk than any big the Spurs have brought in in years besides Aldridge.
But what does this say about Nikola? Spurs admitting they screwed up that pick?

is this treadmill like move better than taking the chance and keeping kawhi maybe leaving for nothing but hopfully giv in for the money and sign here at the end?
One player the #Spurs can count on to help DeMar buy into SA is Rudy Gay. The two are extremely close from their time playing together in Toronto. Starting five could include Rudy and DeMar with LaMarcus and Dejounte
So, this means Rudy Gay will start at SF, and IMO will make the return of Manu for one more go. I know there is lots of hate for Poeltl, but Toronto was looking at moving him into the starting center role. He is only 22, and is getting only 3 mil a year. Like many, I sure wish they had gotten OG, but I assume OG is their KL insurance should he walk.
leonard at ude and uncle not rc fault
That's facts. He's only been handicapped by location & his best players being chokers. Only bad decision was the Brazilian KD draft pick.![]()
I never wanted a player to fail so ing much until now.
I am convinced that man does nothing but sit in front of his laptop all day, with bags of Burgers.
The fact that Kawhi got a thank you at all pisses me off.
I am excited to see what Pop can do with this roster. Maybe they'll surprise us.
I can’t believe some of yous are melting down so much![]()
Nobody expected jack from Leonard when he was drafted. You spend the last number of years working your ass to develop him into the franchise guy. Then he goes all full mode on us, and the rest is history..
It Sucks. And the with him..
Weren't the Celtics offer Smart and first. Clippers were offering Harris and 2 first. We got an elite scorer. I am worried about our D. At least our offense won't suck. Should be a fun Spurs team. Lots of athleticism and should have good shooters out there. Gasol starts again. Unsure if Darozen plays 3 with white or 2 with Gay.
no team offered a 5 time allstar and a 22 year old lottery pick to spurs after leonard said la only
You are a re ed Cavs fan at heart so it shouldn't bother you.
I'm not even mad he wanted to leave. I'm mad at how he did it. FTP.
I hope he fails just enough to give the Raptors the 21st pick in the draft and then blows out his quad in the playoffs
How soon can the Spurs trade DeRozan? Asking for a friend
Unless Pop can move this team to the East to make the Finals again, I doubt they surprise us...This team can't beat GSW.

"Now, DeRozan feels “lied to,” the source said, and, while having no personal grudges with the Spurs, is extremely upset at the deal."
"Leonard also is not happy at going to Toronto, for several reasons, including the higher taxation rate in Canada than in Texas, which has no state income tax. Leonard’s camp had informed the Spurs he didn’t want to go there, but the Spurs made no promises either way. San Antonio had had significant discussions with the Philadelphia 76ers -- a team Leonard would have given a fair shake at convincing him to stay had it been able to make a deal with San Antonio. But the 76ers were unwilling to include guard Markelle Fultz, the former first pick overall in the 2017 Draft, or forward Dario Saric in any package proposals for Leonard."
The Spurs should have been in no rush to make this trade. At the very least, they should come away with an unprotected pick. DeRozen wasn't wanted in Toronto so he was always going to be available. RC just bent over like he usually does and instead of doing a full rebuild around some nice young peices, the Spurs will muddle around the 50 win mark for the next three years with nothing to show for it before they can even think of doing a rebuild. Hopefully by then, they'll be known as the Vegas Spurs.
Man, today's NBA players are a bunch of emo gots.![]()
