    Brian Wrights track record has been pretty bad. The Kawhi trade is case and point tbh.

    the dude spent two years working for the pistons and worked for the magic before then

    front offices usually take members from somewhat successful / up and coming organizations... wtf...

    Oh, get serious. Brian Wright is nobody. As long as Pop is around, Wright can't go to the men's room without raising his hand.

    What is scary is that Peter Holt is so young and inexperienced that he will be played by Pop and RC, and buy into their rebuild plans. He's not like some grizzled self made billionaire who came up learning how to discern bull ters and fire people.

    Get Jae Crowder and bench him for a year. That sounds like a good off-season.

    No, it has not. It's been reported in a media puff piece that he was allowed to answer the phone.

    Most bad teams like sacto and NYK have a powerful owner and it's probably a punch in the gut to see spursfans berate their historically successful front office. The only real influence of Holt has been "go cheap" which is the same as phoenix yet SA made it work the Suns have not yet. The teams who can improve through trades are those who know what they need and are willing to pay the price to get trades. SA doesn't know what's going on, and wants to be cheap.


    The first role of the team is to sell tickets, which requires "stars" and you can see this team panic about having to sell tickets through a down period. But i don't think they are being obtuse about their place. Right now there's no real need to do anything drastic, the moves they can do are the same as what happens in the summer and even the difference between letting the big two leave without a trade and "blowing it up" are pretty similar.



    Finally, we should talk about what "blowing it up means" because to many people it means trading derozan for some sad sack player to continue the muddled direction of the team. Blowing it up should mean trading murray, white, poertle, and maybe lonnie. I see few people trying to minmax a true tank. So anyone who wanted a trade for non-all star, non lottery talent should use "spinning the wheels" instead.

    Honestly the sky isn't falling as much as the forums think it is. It's becoming evident we're not going to be a playoff team this year, but if we miss the playoffs then the wheels might as well fall off as the season comes to an end then we get a higher draft pick and it should be CLEAR who we can and can't keep. Not into the idea of resigning Forbes but at the very least he's played himself out of any kind of real payday.

    a higher pick is good but i haven't seen optimistic signs of PATFO doing things better in general going forward...

    Geez. Pop will probably give them their extensions, then retire and then give the fans the bird as he walks out

    I predict RC will chew through his bindings with those rodent teeth and escape the franchise. Then Gregg will do the USA basketball thing and try to coach another season but maybe step back near Christmas to let Becky take over. The other two will be basically props.

    What is the record of other "playoff streak keepers"?

    Anybody looked into it?

    Utah had 20

    Philly/Syracuse(total bull to me) with 22

    each franchise entered into a 4-5 year period of

    Even if you count the teams periods of dominance where they missed one or two years within that time span, once its over its followed by a long period of being CRAP. Dallas, Lakers, Boston all became bottom feeders.

    As others have pointed out the fickle Cowboys Cultist who've been masquerading as spurs fans in FatAntonio ain't gonna support a loosing period off 4 years...
    ergo, it is SKY IS FALLING the Spurs Franchise is on the Precipice looking down into a period where they will become sit loose support of the Cowboys Cultist and LEAVE the city.

    You even using the "if we miss the playoffs"
    These other teams allow their Gangrene infected limb to be amputated and they qualified for medicaid which eventually netted them some pretty good solutions. The Spurs keep dragging that dead limb along trying to show up to a party when they cannot dance because hey, post season tickets! The demise of the big 3 and then Danny and Kawhi's departure should have initiated the self destruct sequence but the hobbled franchise keeps trodding along like a ing zombie waiting for some living being to put an arrow through its head.

    Patty Mills is the only one left from the 2014 team. Everyone else was either foisted upon us or some obscure acquisition or hopeful due to someone else retiring or being forced to retire due to injury. I mean, Tony was starting with some of the worst playing of his career. How can you expect a Frankenstein team like that to do anything? It seems like a sham.
