Guess its praying atl doesnt match,and assuming spurs send the offer out
i dont hate the mcdermott acquisition in a vacuum... but the money is a lot for what he is, and combined with the zach collins move, looks like a pretty disgusting offseason if these are the big moves. if they do manage to still go after and land john collins, then i'd be content. but i'm not holding my breath with this FO

Yes he’s a good cutter and shooter, will move off the ball, creating space for them and finish plays. It helps their development. I like his fit a lot.
This team won’t be good anyways unless the youth takes a leap, that’s just the truth. He’s a role player that fills a need.
reminds me of the draft
$14 mil for a role player on a team that's not expected to make the playoffs?
This was a move that makes it look like to casual fan they are doing something while the full on tank is on.
Spurs so smart they see something in McDermott no one else does.
lol
Pretty much. Sucking...but with class!
Soo fckn true
Next season’s motto: Losing the Wright Way!
That's pretty much correct.
The Spurs are signing relatively cheap placehiolders who can play the way Pop wants them to (the "beautiful game"), do some winning in the meantime, and create a culture that the young guys can absorb. They won't learn bad (or dumb) habits they way they might playing with, say, DeRozan.
They're gonna be more like an international team, going against the flow -- that's the only way a small market team can compete.
I wouldn't even be that surprised to see them playing a lot more zone D.
It's an attempt by the Spurs to have their cake and eat it too, do a little winning but also a lot of building.
And a fairly good one given their options.

Given this the Primo pick kinda makes sense. IF he develops into playmaker/leader that will take a couple years in Austin and you might as well go real young with that pick and see what happens.
Need to start buying future picks using whatever cap space though.
Agreed. I mean, it’s awful but at least we should finally see the young players who are somehow also practically veterans now.
Another unintended aspect: if Becky is the coach, at least there won’t be a lot of weeds throwing her under the bus when we are terrible.
What were you expecting really?
Its like this was unexpected. To tell you the truth I didn’t even think McBucketts would want to be here tbqh. Spurs had to pay up. Dieng didn’t want to stay here. So all in all at least he doesn’t have injured feet and 3 surgeries in 2 years.
Overall though the FO should have jumpstarted the rebuild way back, sold the veterans got picks and who knows if the team would by now have at least a standouts player to build around. What we are seeing right now was predictable.
I don’t want to win 30-35 games again. I want a shot at a franchise player with a top pick; especially if we couldn’t land an all star upside type Fa
That's spoiled fan talk; in PATFO we trust!
didnt think mcdermoot would come here? Sweetheart he got 14 mil per,that was his fckn payday. Dude would went to the ymca for that scratch
Tanking with character and integrity, the right way.
I wanted that since Kawhi was traded tbh. Never wanted Derozan.
I’m fine winning 35 games if the team has youth and upside like John Collins + our youth. I’m not fine missing out on top picks for Doug McDermott
The Wright Way.
Is there anyway the Spurs can front load a contract like this year $20, next year $14 million and the third year $8 especially if they don’t plan on offering anyone the max? Same for Collins that when we might be compe ive in hopefully a few years they might have Collins and McDermott on low expiring salary contracts with cap space because they front loaded the contacts.
David Robinson and Tim Duncan are not coming through any doors. Most of us, including me, have never known what the Spurs being a middling team looks like and we're learning on the fly. Let's just make sure DeRozan era is behind us and hope the team builds an all-star from within from this current stock and future drafts.
McDermott at $15m has value even if as a deadline trade to a contender for a 1st round pick in the next two seasons. We'll have someone who's just as or more useful from 3pt than Gay. I've always liked the guy out of Creighton so I'm biased on the signing. I think Wright made a good move for a change.
That’s the only reason he’s a Spur. The $14 million so if fans -as spupadre- are complaining about the amount don’t expect anyone to want to come to the team.. like what do fans expect tbh? No one is signing a one year cheap deal to play in SA!
