This doesn't make the Spurs an elite team by any stretch

It doesn't - but this roster could be dangerous. 

I'm really excited to see how the rest of this season turns out. We are very dynamic and very multiple all of a sudden.

I have tickets in Austin on 2/20. I can't fucking wait.

Idk if that's "close". You were giving Keldon Johnson and four 1st rounders away. 

He nailed 2 of the 3 players and the Spurs gave away 3 1st rounders instead of 4, I'd say that's pretty "close".

I had KJ and Collins and 3 firsts for Fox.

Basically the same difference - right?

We're not done.  With Collins gone our centers are Mamu and...?  Who else guards the other team's 5?  Sochan?  Don't want Wemby taking that abuse.

Let's watch the Sochan slander and all get some sleep. I gotta be at work in 8 hours - I can continue being a provocative dickhead tomorrow.

Spurs/Suns 2/20 in Austin I'll be rocking the Sochan threads.

Brand new spurs fan…what do I need to know?

Start here, watch all 50. Should give you some insight. Stomp on your balls and hit yourself pretty hard for some indescribable loss pains. If you hate the sight of purple and gold, you’re starting to fit in. Piss on a picture of Kawhi Leonard and welcome to the dark side!

I was pissed about the FO trading the 8 pick last year, until it was pointed out to me that the Spurs were trying to space out their high dollar contracts---too many good players getting second contracts at the same time creates a cap crunch. The Mavericks are old as shit and in win now mode. That 2030 pick swap looks like a pretty good possibility to give Prime Wemby a good to great young running mate on an inexpensive deal for 3 or 4 years. GSG

Bassey just started on Saturday instead of Collins. We're in the same spot we were a few days ago, in regards to needing a center. I hope it comes this year, but if it doesn't, we're in a damn good position to plug the hole soon.

To live through the .04 second Derek Fisher shot, be sure to flick yourself in one of your balls as hard as you can about 10 times in a row. Do it another 9 times to feel the Manu foul on Dirk in the WCF. And then target the other one to feel the paid of Ray Allen's 2013 shot. 

But, I take offense to the "dark side" comment. This organization is one of the shining beacons in this crazy league. The envy of many. Just to annoy Rockets and Mavs fans, I like to say "Good things happen to Good people." Which is what I said after 2014 and after we won the lottery for Wemby. We're blessed, and it's easily the easiest, most pure love I have for a sports organization in my life. Because they prove how much they care about winning, and never overextending themselves as an org to do it. Which is probably why you'll find David, Timmy, Tony & Manu around the organization often, to this day. They reward your patience and rarely (if ever) embarrass their fans.

We came back and won the title the next season. After both of those.

Was one of those picks the one we acquired this summer that everyone was down about?  If so, that's gotta be some redemption from the front office to the disgruntlement of this board.

Yes. It was the Minnesota pick that we got for Rob Dillingham. But we still have Minnesota swap rights for another FRP. It was a great trade at the time and looks even better now.

One thing I really like about this trade is the bond that the front office seems to be forging with Chicago and Sacramento. We need to keep making more and more trades with those idiots. The Bulls somehow managed to turn Demar Derozan, Zach Lavine and Alex Caruso into Josh Giddey while greasing the skids for the Spurs to get Fox and gifting the Spurs an unprotected swap from the Kings along the way. 

The fact that the Spurs gave up zero of their top 8 rotation, none of their young drafted players, got off of Collins shitty contract, and gave up two of their least valuable pick assets for a top 25ish player in the league who was begging to be in SA is almost incomprehensible.

Just sit it out for a little bit. You would be fully justified in tuning out the NBA for a while. You guys are always welcome in this community if you want to come and decompress or talk ball. If you want to root for the Spurs, welcome. We're happy to have you.

ok so that comment wasn't actually intended as Sochan slander.  I have plenty of other comments for that.  I know I've seen small ball lineups this year and last where Sochan slid down to guard the five?  Not arguing that we're not getting better in this trade (we are, a lot), but there are still obvious holes to plug.  A team with Barnes-Bassey-Mamu as their bigs in the playoffs...not great.

And all of it is because I've been calling them nutless monkeys all season! They were like "we really need to shut that ztejas asshole up. Get the Bulls on the horn again"

They even left KJ on the team so @Kermit and I still have something to bitch about. Very gracious.

Just head on over to the Mavericks thread so you can be a fan of a team with a Nike planted sleeper agent whose job was to sabotage the franchise to get a top player in the league back to the Lakers ASAP. 

In the NBA this happens every time the Lakers are aging out and looking down.

Some stats from an X post, which I can't be bothered to figure out how to embed:

Fox averages 16 drives per game, 7th most in the NBA. That is 8.4 MORE drives than the Spurs' drives leader (Castle at 7.6 a game) while shooting 13% (!!!) better from the field than Castle on shot attempts from those drives, per NBA tracking stats.

The Spurs had ONE rotation player who shot better than 50% out of drives (Wemby at 55.4%). Fox has an incredibly high volume and shoots 54.5% out of drives.

Fox is 15th (11.9) in the league in points in the paint per game. No guard in the Spurs' rotation pre-trade cracks the top 120 (Castle is 124th with 5.7).

You guys had me until I was told to relive the manu dirk foul. I suppose those memories ceased to be related to todays Mavs the moment Cuban sold the team.

I’m glad the trade happened, but most of this team is still a steaming pile of dogshit. Champagnie out there playing like he’s got two left hands, Sochan is regressing, Vic wants to be a perimeter defender, Harrison Barnes is icy hot, and then they go and make a hellacious run while I’m typing this shit.
