Holy , I swear posts like this makes me lose brain cells
the spurs are stuck for this season though. if the spurs make don't make a trade then this season is still purgatory and next season would the actual transition.
it's great young guys get PT but demar and la still having higher aspirations.

Lol... wow.
BR too soft on the major fail is this FO last couple of years - they made minor tweaks when the smart play aka OKC is to blow up and get some draft picks at least. Might be a different situation if we had a non HOF coach now stuck playing retreads instead of developing youth. Nothing to get excited at all about the purgatory that is the 2020-21 Spurs.
Horse . They have financial flexibility going forward. Even if they don’t make a splash in FA’s that’s far better than off loading potential cap space for a late 1st rounder that’ll be partnered with 1 or more unfavorable contracts.
At least with cap space they can become a third in a trade if outright signing their targets don’t pan out.
I’m all for unloading our vet baggage but not if it means taking mediocre talent on unappetizing contacts simply to land a 25-30 or a 2nd rounder. I’d rather have financial freedom.
If moving either of those guys returned a top 14 pick they would have done it by now.
People need to look up the word 'purgatory'. Y'all dumb as .

First draft favorite Jordan Bell gets cut and now Zhaire Smith?
Don’t know why I posted that in this thread tbh.
I remember some here wanted Zhaire over Lonnie Walker.
And wanted him as a sweetner in a Kawhi deal to Philly.
He is now... in purgatory.
I even remember the comparisons to Kawhi Leonard and how so many pundits said he would be a similar player. Goes to show people put too much stock in scouting reports by paid professionals. They don't remember this though...
Would be nice if the Spurs threw him a training camp invite tbh.
lol at y'all not getting it.
i said this season is purgatory if no moves are made. why? because the spurs will only be a little more successful that last season. yeah, spurs have flexibility... that counts after the season is over.
the spurs future flexibility doesn't make this current team a 3rd seed. i'm talking about the present, i know there's relief in the future.
i never said spurs are in purgatory for years to come, i said this season.
spurs entered purgatory when they acquired demar. and will remain until he is gone.
So... one year purgatory.
Well I hope you survive!
So if they make a trade they are not stuck? In other words, they're not stuck at all?
Do you think you're in purgatory every time you go somewhere?
"I'm neither where I was or where I want to be. This is literally purgatory. The only way I can escape is if I get where I'm going. That or somehow acquire Russell Westbrook."
Oh they remember, they’re just hoping you forgot! Keep them honest.....
From the end of the 2019-2020 NBA season to November 20, 2020 is gambit's purgatory.
It was the period of when gambit wouldn't shut up about Dwight Howard.
Only to realize on November 20,2020 that none of the contenders wanted Dwight Howard because they know he's garbage and not a game changer... which left gambit in shock.
Can you give a non fantasy trade scenario that does not keep the Spurs in purgatory for this year? You cannot develop players if you told them to delibrately lose. But if you ask the young players to give their all, they are likely to end up non-playoff late lottery. Which according to your definition purgatory for this year.
I'm not lookin to over-hammer this nail, but...
...Literally contradicts your earlier quote,
Spurs got DeMar DeRozan and became a clear playoff team. Made the playoffs, even, almost second round. Either you don't know what the word "literal" means, or "purgatory"... The consensus here seems to be the latter, and I agree, tbh. Lol at "1 year of purgatory"
How does the trade exemption work?....let's say boston was interested in LMA, doubtful, but let's say it's so....can we trade LMA straight up for the exemption, an if so, what do we even do with it?
no, i was saying the spurs aren't in purgatory for years to come today.
everyone acting like the spurs mindset isn't so much more rigid than other FOs
yeah, the spurs could totally move demar and la. no one here really thinks that will still end up happening though.
