In a commentary piece by SI's Aschburner on the 3 big blockbuster trades, KG had this to say...
"People in the West are getting stronger because of the Spurs,'' Kevin Garnett told USA Today. "The Spurs are the best team in the league. Yo don't have to go by records; they're the champions. Phoenix made their move because of the Spurs. I think the Lakers made their moves because of the Spurs.''
About time somebody said it.
Kudos to KG.
Master of the obvious forum. Of course the Spurs are the team to beat....teams always tweak their lineups to contend with the best.
The article the quote is from is here:

The Lakers would have made that move regardless of the Spur's existence. A byproduct of the trade is that it helps them compete against the Spurs.
How did I know that was coming . . . .
of course dazed shows disrespect. He has no life.
Just pointing out the obvious. Of course nobody tries to discredit the content of my post, but hey that would take some sort of intelligence.
Well, of course the Lakers would take the opportunity to grab an All-Star caliber player without having to give up on anything of significance. But one suspects that the need to make such a deal arose from the injury to Bynum, the possibility of losing spots in the standings, and the uncertainty about whether Bynum could hang with Duncan and other West bigs for the duration of a 7-gamer in May. With all of that said, it would be pretty hard to argue that the impetus to get Gasol had nothing whatsoever to do with the San Antonio Spurs.
Show some and you'll recieve some.Just pointing out the obvious. Of course nobody tries to discredit the content of my post, but hey that would take some sort of intelligence
That was the main impetus for the trade. You're other crap about Bynum not being able to guard Duncan is irrelevant considering we traded away our best bigman defender in Kwame Brown.
If he was your best, you guys are screwed against the Suns, and Spurs.You're other crap about Bynum not being able to guard Duncan is irrelevant considering we traded away our best bigman defender in Kwame Brown
KG speaks the truth.
But KG is still a punk.
You wrongly assume Bynum won't be able to do a competent job against them. I shouldn't expect better from you though, you don't know about any other team not named the Spurs.
When did Andrew Bynum become a good defender?
He sure as wasn't one back in November when the Spurs played.
Go look at his stats and game tape before you talk . One bad game against the Spurs in November does not dictate what kind of defensive player he is.
How is he in the playoffs? Against the playoff Tim Duncan?
Oh wait..
Palavra up, as we say in Brazil. Major ups to KG for speakin the real.
spurs fans think the basketball world revolves around them
I don't think the basketball world necessarily revolves around the Spurs, but I do think that the basketball world of a Spurs fan gyrates around the ball whirling around the rim before dropping through to clinch the fifth championship in franchise history.spurs fans think the basketball world revolves around them
Pretty annoying when a LakerFan patronizes the SpursFans . . . in a ing Spurs discussion board!spurs fans think the basketball world revolves around them
Hey smeagol, if you haven't noticed there's a whole bunch of fans from other teams. I mean they even got a Queens and Pistons section.
Well since the spurs are allergic to defending their les, it's gonna be at least another year. Let's hope Bynum doesn't blow da up more than he already has. Because if he does, it's over for rest of the NBA.
KG's right. Back in the day teams made their moves because they were afraid of Dallas. You knew you're weren't going to beat Donaldson and company without a little help, so a midseason trade was a team's only hope to get better. No surprises there, the 87-88 Mavericks were just being the dominant force they were supposed to be.
The Spurs have yet to show me that they are the #1 team in the league at this point. Until they do nothing they have done in the past means to me.
