Shut your dumbass up troll.typical spurfan with gy takes likei never wanted cp3 can't pay him at 37
if you're worried about what cp3 is going to cost in five years it means you don't think the warriors can be beaten before five years which is dumb take itself because wardell is already 30 and they will loose klay to the salary cap in no more than a year or two. not to mention kiwi will be out of his prime in five years so it's not like you were going to contend with him as your number one piece at that age anyways, not a good enough offensive player to do that.
paul is one of the best shooters in the league at age 32 and neither that or his court vision will deteriorate even at age 37.
stars attract stars, kiwi and cp3 are much more enticing for a third star than kawhi by himself and since he doesn't talk to other players or play in the olympics he'd have no chance of bringing in other stars though friendship especially given his autistic tendencies.
keep licking PAFTO's balloon knot and convincing yourself that signing one year younger Hill to 4/80 or sticking with role players like Murray and re-siging TOSBs like Gasol gives spurs any better shot in that time span
meanwhile Houston is gearing up to sign a big 3 will Milsap or George which will relegate spurs to 5th seeds for the foreseeable future...
That's great , now we can focus on George Hill and another star player.
Then we make sure to beat Houston next year. This is a blessing in Disguise.
This might work in our favor by Houston giving GS fits and tiring them out and then we come along with the knock out punch.
I know, I'm just saying who cares if they can't land a third star? Obviously, that would get them closer to Warriors, but they're still health and a Curry or Durant injury away from a championship becoming a possibility as is.Did you not read what I said? I said they look damn good even if they don't make any other moves and you proceeded to act like I was arguing against them
If they hit their top end absolutely. I was just saying they don't have the assets anymore to land another big name via trade IMO.
They can get them on a buyout or in free agency (not a big player, but MLE level player). They have a big trade exception which could be valuable but not sure it would actually do anything for a PG/Melo type.
I stopped reading right there.
But that's obvious. At least they're in better shape to do so than the Spurs at the moment.
Not quite sure about that. I dont think the trade puts them in a position to outscore them, they still have no defense. The way to beat GS is with long wing defenders and hard nosed defense. Spurs still have the best chance at an upset with Wing Stop on defense.
Well, I say that with the thought that they're not done making moves. If they are, then I agree with you.
And Wing Stop is done, imo. Danny is not what he used to be and he'll be a year older this upcoming season.
Done? Danny just made his first all defensive team, SA had the #1 defense in the league and Danny had an excellent defensive playoff even without Kawhi in spots.
Again, you're being overly negative IMO.
I don't think he deserved to be there, tbh. But that's just my opinion. You can call me negative all you want.
Also, he's not about to get even better on defense. He will continue to decline.
Everyone technically declined, but again, SA just had the best defense in the league. You can speculate about the future if you like, but there is nothing really tangible to back up your assertion that Danny is done and not what he used to be when last season he was damn good (both individual honor he received and actual team ranking).
I think that was mostly a product of having the best defender in the world in Kawhi. We can disagree on Danny Green, but I don't think last season's team has it in them for another run.
I really don't like the position the Spurs are in right now. They need playmakers in the worst way.
"Wardell's" age is going to be an issue but CP3 being 3 years older than him isn't?typical spurfan with gy takes like

Even with that exact problem last year SA was a WCF team. Was their luck? Sure, but then you can't argue when they don't make a WCF like only losing is a skill and winning is luck.
No one defender will anchor the best defense in the league. Danny, by every single metric, was a huge plus on defense.
I mean, am I worried? In the context of uncertainty and knowing the team needs more help (and better setup) sure. But there are reasonable paths to that. There is no real path for any team to surpass GS so that is out of my mind.
Key phrase: Last year.
Unless the Spurs make moves it'll be another fool's gold season. I hope I'm wrong, and I'm not declaring this off-season a disaster right now either. It's just difficult to see the Spurs making any moves that put them in contention again.
The 1st can't come here soon enough..
How was this past season fools gold?
Just my opinion that they didn't have a great shot at GS even though things were looking good for 3 quarters in game 1...
If last season wasn't fool's gold, this year will be if they trot out the SAME team. I'm hoping they don't. We'll see.
I hope the Rockets give CP that max deal he wants. I'd love to see $205M tied up in their salary cap to an aging point guard.
What evs.
The same people ing about losing Chris Paul would be the same ones questioning the FO's stupidity for giving that much money to an aging point guard.
You can't please some people. Not pursuing him hard was the right move. He wasn't going to be the difference maker against the GSW.
Except now we have the Rockets getting stronger and better. So not only do we have to worry about GS, we have the ing Rockets.
I'm not sure how that works. Unless you think SA is the 1 seed or Houston the 4.
I don't think CP3 makes the Rockets that much better. The only reason they were regular season wonders is that Harden had the ball in his hands all the time. What's going to get better with Paul there?
Another great move by West. Get a ton of role players (maybe 1 or 2 pan out plus Beverly) and a top 3 pick for Paul. Next thing ship Jordan out and get either more picks or package him with someone else for a 2nd/3rd tier star and build around him and Griffin. If Griffin stays healthy he is a top 5 player in the league. He can do everything - shoot, take guys off the dribble, pass off the dribble or out of pick and rolls, post up if he has to and obviously finish. If he's able to stay on the court and everything runs through him instead of CP3, look out. Just need a new coach.
? It's a top 3 protected pick. And it's likely to be a late first rounder.
