Where the did this idiot go off and die to?Inb4 Sugus, Dex, Dejounte, and Mr.Old Body tell us how we're contenders, and anyone poo-pooing this are spoiled fake fans.
Him and Gmbit been MIA for a while now....
God damn, how glad am I that the Spurs have improved past these re ed comments.I need a spin from the Sniff Crew asap tbh.
Literally the stupidest ing FO in the league setting them back years and years
Great thread, and it's not just hindsight. It was a good signing at the time, you just had to not have your head stuck up your ass to see it.

High reward
It was a good deal knowing the Spurs didn't think their roster had any chance to win as constructed. They could totally afford to take a gamble on Collins and the time to let him grow. McDermott is a weirder signing with that logic. He made sense to help develop Murray and White, but it turns out both would be gone within a year anyway. I guess you can see some of Doug's presence Vassell, so maybe it makes sense? But it still feels like that off-season the Spurs didn't know if they could rebuild organically or if they'd have to tear down completely. I think a lot of folks either wanted them to tear down or double down (I was in the second camp), so most of us were a bit disheartened by the middle-road signings.
You can’t counter every bad take with “well we have hindsight now and the concerns were valid”. I don’t know… maybe it’s possible to make less bad predictions by shaping the way we think going forward and it prooooobably starts with owning up to the things we say.
My feeling was that we were paying Collins to rehab and he'd move on somewhere else. The money itself didn't seem like a big deal. McDermott - wasn't this the time when we went hardcore trying to get shooters? Like drafting Wieskamp. We were so poor outside we were desperate to get guys who could stretch the floor.
Hmm lotta L’s taken in this thread
Big men with multiple foot injuries don’t usually come back the way Zollins has, particularly bigs who are coveted specifically for mobility.
also can’t really predict a guy going through a mental episode like simmons did
But it’s very easy to just be a homer and approve every move then call everyone else dumb when a questionable move pans out
Your initial reaction was “I’m in danger”
It's amazing how seriously some people take this board. We all get stuff wrong. Some of us are aggressively, consistently wrong. What does it matter? We're all just here to shoot the . But some folks seem to have a need to be popular and have to keep track of all their good and bad takes. What's the result? If poster A is wrong all the time, what's going to happen? Are they going to get banned or pinked? If Poster B has top-flight takes, do they get a cash bonus? Don't get me wrong, just like shooting the , sometimes it's relevant to bring up a person's previous takes. But some folks just seem obsessed with massaging their reputation via attempting to control their history.
LOL no, I wanted the other Collins and hated this signing. Thank god I'm not the ing GM. This team would have moved to Anaheim already or something.
Not buying this point of view; humility takes a person a long way and shapes the way you treat others. Everyone has to own their …period! (At least in my world)
Stop deflecting; own your L. You say plenty of dumb but this time you tried to play with the Bear ( around and you might get mauled )!
I shall call you muttgen moving forwardMugen with the s.
Well said
Patting yourself on the back when you're right and ghosting when you're wrong is the opposite of humility and what I was talking about. I used to make a thread every year where we'd all self-report our worst take from the previous season. It might be a bit too late to do it this year, though the regular season hasn't started.
The irony/hypocrisy of this coming from a guy who regularly gives dissertations.
I'm sure you can dig up a bunch of posts of you telling me that to show us how right you are.
You did follow it up with this thoughLOL no, I wanted the other Collins and hated this signing. Thank god I'm not the ing GM. This team would have moved to Anaheim already or something.
It's either that or regurgitate the same things, but thanks for telling me what my motive was.
You're welcome. Thanks for being our resident tsundere for 14 years now.
I thought I cared too much about reputation, now I don't at all. Which one is it?
In addition to telling others how to comport themselves, maybe you can answer that one for me too.
Of all the folks who were massively wrong on this signing, Chinook wins for being the most readily willing to own up to it (and be happy he was wrong). I'm going to will into existence the idea that Mr. Chinook is just bad at evaluating bigs, and will be equally as wrong about Bassey
Asked and answered. The whole thing with tsunderes is that they act like they don't care when they do. That's how you get "I'm not here to be popular" combined with a post of all the times you were right on a topic. What makes it funnier is that that list of posts is from this off-season when we all thought Collins should get an extension but had been under the impression the max starting salary was going to be too low for him.
Like for example, in response to the first post you quoted, I said this:
So by that time, it wasn't even a clever call or a risk. I and a few others wanted a different kind of center. We'll see how that goes, though I hope Collins is the guy. But you tooting your horn about him getting an extension when even when you started saying that the answer was "duh" is funny.Collins: I don't think they'll be anything "stealth" about this extension offer. I haven't heard what the MLE will be at, but it should be pretty close to the 40-percent bump anyway, so I could totally see them wanting to lock him down for that amount. Unless they trade him during the draft, getting him on a longer deal is just good practice. His stats are better than his performance in my mind.
