PATFO Deserve a Ton of Credit

[BatManu20]

Best Front Office and Head Coach in the League, tbh. Most of us, me included, were preparing for the dog days of Spurs basketball once Timmy and Manu retired. But, to go out and do what they've done in the past week is nothing short of incredible, particularly with the Salary Cap as such. Just an unreal job by R.C., Pop, Peter Holt, the players, and the assistant coaches. SA is lucky to have all these guys.

Of course, with great talent comes great expectations. It looks nice on paper, but we really won't know much about the full product until we see it on the hardwood. It's likely going to take some time to gel with so many new pieces. But, regardless, PATFO have at least put us in a position to be compe ive and contend for a championship in the foreseeable future. All the credit in the world to them and to players like LaMarcus Aldridge and David West for sacrificing personal numbers and/or financial benefits.

All around, best organization in sports, tbh.

RC had this planned when the Spurs were running roughshod over the NBA during the 2014 playoffs. The only blemish is Porky's extension but these moves more than made up for it.....

At your pic. But yea, Porker was the only questionable call. Giving a 32 y/o PG with declining speed a contract like that was extremely ambitious. It can be argued that they're loyal to fault. But other than that, R.C. has absolutely earned himself another Executive of the Year. It'd be robbery to give it to anyone else.

Remember how we all complained about how boring the draft was?

[spursistan]

Yeah, the plan for shake-up was there when Pop said the team will look different next year right after Game 7 v. Clippers. This FO is too good to wing it Cuban-style..Many in here feared as Suns got into the LMA sweepstakes..Aldridge wishy-washyness aside, the Suns and Blazers had no chance against PATFO, tbh..

[therealtruth]

A crowded frontcourt with no center and not much depth in the backcourt but still overall a good job. The one thing I am wondering is if Pop can handle the expectations. Doesn't tend to do well in those situation. See '09-'10 (Dice and RJ), '05-'06 (Van Excel and Finley), and '03-'04 (Horry and Turkogulu).

Meh, I give them a C+.

Methinks they just retire the award or rename it after Buford.

Did RC ever win the Executive award ?

Parker ate the food obviously

[Guajalote]

One thing is for sure. Spurs fans (including myself) can no longer whine about how big time FA's don't ever come to San Antonio.

Do you even Google bro?

I love PATFO and this organization so much.

So badass.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Thanks guys.

And it's not like Duncan, West & Aldridge met up away from everybody and conspired to get together. This was strictly the front office and those old sports deserve a ton of credit
