They aren't complaining that the Spurs signed an all-star to win a championship, after they said that signing all-stars is buying a championship.

Why would you bring up the lakers, they haven't signed a quality free agent since shaq
No, I'm not mad, I'm calling out your hypocrisy. If the Celtics manage to make a blockbuster trade and beat your ass don't come here crying about "bought championship" ING HYPOCRITE.
They didn't won anything the last time they stacked the desk with Nash and Howard, but a lot of your fanbase was complaining about the Lakers buying a championship because they dared to trade for all-stars.
The first big name free agent (in his prime ), the team has EVER landed...cmon man..
Okay...so I click on the link...and it's a thread created by you 7 minutes prior to this one.
How much hypocrisy can really happen in 7 minutes?
Buy?
Aldridge WANTED to come to the Spurs. And so did West.
It's the offseason, teams make moves and the Spurs hadn't made a move since 2011. It was high time they move pieces around.
Your logic is re ed. It's not like the Spurs seeked ALL Stars desperately. This just happened naturally with both parties wanting to meet halfway and make it happen.
All caps = mad.
this is stupid
these guys opted out of their contracts and are FA, key word free agent got, that means they can sign with whoever they want whatever the price for their services
spurs had cap money, they spent it, now they had free spots on the roster and had to fill them up, is it their fault guys coming here to play for minimum?
some guys want to win and do whatever it takes to be a winner, b4 you judge the spurs, judge ur teams management and its current roster is it enough to contend let alone attract a top player FA...
the salt, let me pour some vinegar into those hot chips

1997 NBA draft
The 1997 NBA draft took place on June 25, 1997 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Although the Boston Celtics had the second worst record in the 1996–97 season and the best odds (36 percent) of winning the lottery with two picks, the Spurs, usually a model of winning and consistency, lost David Robinson and Sean Elliott to injury early in the season and finished with the third worst record, subsequently winning the lottery. Leading up to the draft, there was no doubt that Tim Duncan would be selected at No. 1 by the Spurs, and in fact the rest of the draft was regarded with some skepticism.[1] The Celtics would end up with the third and sixth picks selecting Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer, both of whom were traded in the next two years.
2nd worst record doesnt mean its automatic no.1 lottery ball...they love to bring the celtics % up every time, but seriously how many bad teams with the worse record in the league missed out on a no.1 pick
Yeah, it's not like many Spurs fans came up with the term "San Antonio Heat" to support the Superteam assambled in 2010 by Miami.
HorseBear , Spurs have won 5 rings without the need of hot shots FA and now because we are in a transition era and we are still good butthurted fans call our team a ¨buyer¨.
I don't think OP is actually a Celts fan lol. Why would Celtics care about Spurs?
i believe hes a mav fan, who created his account for the lols back when lakers fans were all "__ rings gots"
Malone signed w fLakers a 2 yr 3 mill which is the same as 1.5 vet min each year!
^^^^ This said it all here. No need to say more.
That explains the butthurt. Thanks Trainwreck. I don't remember Spurfan talking about "buying a championship"... the only really distinctive thing about Spurfan is their collective Chicken Little impersonation whenever they go down 5 points, lose a game, etc etc. Polar opposite of most Laker fans, who assume that every season they will court the best of the best, even if their team is a giant dumpster fire.
I have always begrudged the FO for not bringing in another star for Duncan. not that they failed him, but, they definitely could have done more.
