Spot on.
For years, if not decades, we laughed at teams stuck in infinite loops of tanking and rebuilding.
It was always obvious that competent front offices and coaches get it done with way less and that no team needs to spend 5 years in the lottery, which has started happening more and more often.
Competent teams get it done with next to nothing, incompetent ones get complacent and rely on lottery odds. When those odds don't work out, they've got no clue how to draft the best player available.
Look at the teams with longest lottery streaks right now, it's Hornets followed by Pistons and Spurs.
Three teams that are still garbage, despite many lottery seasons.
When will mainstream Spurs media start asking questions about PATFO?
If not for 14% odds going our way, we'd be two years away from being two years away. Four lottery picks on the roster already, with one more coming up.
And people want more tanking? For what? So they can pile up more charity cases?
All of PATFO's mistakes ever since nephew took a on everything were erased in last year's lottery. No point thinking about those decisions anymore.
But if they up the draft yet again someone needs to go. It's been long overdue.
Right now this roster has nothing other than Wemby.
Devin is a solid player, but his contract is questionable. He's the most common archetype in the league, scoring wing with limited playmaking and defensive skills. You can find those everywhere.
Jeremy is a fundamentally flawed player who needs improvements in way too many areas to ever be anything more than a glue guy off the bench.
Others are not worth mentioning. I'd really like to hear from posters who think others on this roster have a future as rotation players on playoff teams. Do you guys even watch other teams around the league?
We're so bad we just grasp for straws and try to stay positive. Someone makes a couple of layups or open shots, you'll have posts about their potential in here. No, Blake Wesley will never be a good NBA player. Neither will Branham or Champagnie. Their best case ceiling is 10th man for regular season rotation that doesn't even play in the playoffs. You don't waste seasons waiting for such players to develop.
I just want to hear the discussions they had before giving Collins that extension. Was there a single team in the league that was thinking about giving $32M to Collins making PATFO react?
I'm sick of family atmosphere and we like what we have bull . Yeh, Collins' recovery is a great story, but it doesn't warrant a $32M extension. Spurs saved his career when noone wanted him, he's forever indebted, not the other way around.
I can get behind waiting for the next year's draft, but not going for a star player right away doesn't mean they shouldn't do anything.
This team desperately needs two good veterans. One at point and the other one at wing. No ifs or buts. Having a trash team with no structure whatsoever just stagnates everyone's development.
Winning is the best way to develop young players. Losing builds bad habits and ruins players.
