Don't you think PATFO could have done a better job than Boston or Philly with those picks?
i think u really dont see how bad management is right now. But i wont discuss with someone who cant say anything substantive and probably still believe that spurs are contender upcoming season xd

Philly and Boston, but mostly because they play in the East. Put both of those teams in the West and the Spurs in the East and the answer becomes San Antonio.
but you did discuss it with me.
yes, glad this op-ed has decided to bring such a fresh topic and previously ignored thoughts to this forum.
ur right, west is much stronger conference and spurs would probably be higher in the east. But there is no way that spurs are now better than philly or boston. And wont be better at least in a next 3-4yrs unless PATFO change strategy or philly/bos do sth stupid

Another whiny post
Who do you want in their place?
anyone who wants to make spurs a contender again
Like who?
is OP talking to himself?
Is OP a kobyz troll?
stream of consciousness.
Two all stars and other serviceable players is not terrible.
How about Timmy Duncan.
Think he could eclipse Pops 1st year win % of .266?
Yes or no?
God, seriously. I don't get why anyone would want to tank. You're never gonna see a situation where you go, "Oh, you missed your chance. You should have tanked." You can ALWAYS blow it up. It's never too late to do that. If the Spurs blow it up in five years rather than in one, the only difference will be that they were a good team for longer. Being bad doesn't mean unless you happen to be bad when a legit All-Timer comes out. The last obvious All-Timer to come out in the draft was Lebron. Zion might be the next, but we'll see. Even getting Simmons wouldn't make the Spurs better than just staying the course. Most superstars aren't the clear best player of this classes. Durant, Leonard, Giannis, Jokic and most of the others didn't outshine one or more prospects that ended up being much worse players than them. KD was at least 1b but Oden was at least even with him in almost everyone's minds.
So sure, if a true home-run guarantee was about to come out, I get tanking. The Spurs did that for Duncan. But most of the guys drafted, even at the top of the round, won't be better than LMA (2nd-overall) and DeRozan (9th-overall) or even Rudy Gay (8th-overall). Those are highly drafted, proven guys. You aren't likely to get better than them, so why would you force yourself to try? If you want to want to win, scout well, coach guys up and try to make moves to be the best team you can without sacrificing the future. That's what PATFO did. Somehow, SA has managed to assemble the asset war chest of a much worse team despite only trading for one prospect and one pick over the past seven years. It's amazing. Let's see what they can parlay that into. Of course, I have my own ideas, namely only holding onto the top three or so guys and moving the rest for win-now pieces. But they have earned the right to do what they think is best.
Pop certainly shouldn't retire just so the Spurs can hope to be Philly in five years, when the Spurs right now would very likely beat the Sixers in a playoff series. And
When somebody wants to live in a big city in their home state, there is nothing you can do. You think that there was a bad relationship but you have no idea. For sure, a player who acts like a drama queen with two years left in his contract probably didn't go well with a guy like Pop but that's all on Kawhi. The fact that he just left the team that won the championship shows exactly that this is not about playing for a contender. Kawhi wanted to play for LA and he is there.
Which superstar has come to SA in their prime? None, zero. The Spurs have been winners thanks to the draft and going after good role players that complement well the Spurs stars. Despite being a contender (winner) for years, there was not one superstar who wanted to join the Spurs. San Antonio is not attractive, that's all.
With the same roster Pop had then?
No.
or maybe he didnt like the organization/people not the city. Or he noticed that he wont win another chip with spurs. And then he decided to go away to his home town. U never know.
Agree he acted like a drama queen and thats the reason hes not my fav player anymore.
im glad that u noticed how important for spurs draft is. and its really hard to draft a star having late picks (thats exactly what spurs are doing right now)
One came here to win a chip, LMA (poor guy)
Earlier nobody came here bc spurs were contenders almost 20yrs. They had high drafted robinson and duncan then added parker and manu. U didnt need any superstar having these beasts in a rosterc.
Chumplov folds.
I just said no, dip .
Made any progress stalking the former dancers, Carbbs?
Yes or no.
The question was not "are you heterosexual?"
Carbbs folds.
We agree but for somebody who doesn't know what happened, you are quick to put the blame on Pop. The team could have won a championship with the roster they had last year with him instead of Derozan, they would have been one of the favorites. We'll see what he does in LA. Contrary to most people, I don't think that the Clippers are the favorites.
Agree get out with making playoffs streak intact.
