2017 NBA Finals: Dubs Get Revenge!

...Oh my gosh...he's secretly a big kid! Yes!

And some kids grew up to be just like him:

That kid turned out to be Chris Paul.

Wow.

[Val Halla]

I know people talk a lot about how free agency has been... But look at next year's!

Draymond Green is arrested for assault.

These charges, or something similar, are loooong overdue. After many NBA games!

I hope he is in jail when his buddy KD starts the season by the bay.

It's pretty minor, the maximum sentence is 94 days.

So, how long until Parker and Manu either retire or go somewhere else? I don't seem them staying without Duncan.

Least a year. Manu confirmed he'll be on the Spurs this season

Too soon, man, too soon.

But no, I don't see them going anywhere else. They're going to retire Spurs and get their jerseys hanging from the rafters alongside Duncan's.

I'm glad Chicago got rid of Derrick "Glass bones and paper skin" Rose.

That's the purest form of heresy over on the Bulls subreddit.

That is the reason why I don't reveal my identity online or talk shit IRL about sports. Chicago fans take things to the next level.

On that note, Bulls fans don't know whats good for them. I've had to live through that garbage for the last 8 years. Its about time we got rid of him, we were being the definition of insanity. I hope Dwayne Wade makes a difference.

Oh, I know exactly how you feel, TEM. I'm pretty much the exact same way (at least in regards to the italicized). I can't really blame you.

Agreed. The guy was less durable than Gren Oden.

Well, there's the downfall of the Spurs.

No. Oden was out of the league after like 2 and a half seasons.

Nope. Manu has barely any production, Parker is replaceable. They have Aldridge, Leonard and there's a lot of hype around their draft pick.

I mean, if the lowly Timberwolves can be seen with high potential, I guess, San Antonio has a shot at maintaining their status as a contender.

Do you, like, not understand how the NBA works? Players develop. Having 2 of the league's best players, as well as a solid supporting cast, will keep you contending

Players develop. Having 2 of the league's best players, as well as a solid supporting cast, will keep you contending

Pretty subjective, but, to give you an example, Towns and Wiggins have the ability to play as "two of league's best players", yet their team misses the playoffs, which does not make them a contender.

Well, I didn't suddenly make Parker and the other guy the best players to support my claim.

That's because they're not at that point yet.

Well, we'll see, whether the team can make the playoffs, once both of them reach their fullest potential.

No offence, but that's the lulziest comment of the day.

Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge are 2 of league's best players, Tony Parker will be back and in a leadership role, Dejounte Murray seems like a very promising and underrated prospect, its network of Euro prospects is very promising, and Coach Pop will be back like usual.....Spurs ain't going anywhere man.

Obviously if both Aldridge and Leonard get injured, we might have repeat of 1997 draft all over again, and draft somebody legit. Barring that, Spurs will be fine.

Both KAT and Wiggins are hard-working, dedicated players. With them and few solid prospects around, as well as Thibodeaux coaching, Minny will be challenging in few years' time. Key part - FEW YEARS.

I reckon we could sneak into the 8th this year.Probably not, but I certainly hope for 35 wins

[Ganos Lao]

R.C. Buford, the general manager, explictly said that he doesn't just plan for the short term. He plans for the long term. Contingency plans are formed, and every possibility considered. That's the Spurs method, that's the basis of their decades' long consistency.

He and the rest of the Spurs front office already expected Duncan was going to retire. They've no doubt been planning everything out accordingly and will act on their plans, and with the track record the Spurs front office has, I'll trust them to know what they're doing.

I imagine that the Pau Gasol signing is just to carry them over to the next free agency period

Yeah, okay, I didn't know much about them.

[Ganos Lao]

Jason Kidd has "nightmares" about not signing with the Spurs.

I imagine that the Pau Gasol signing is just to carry them over to the next free agency period

It's to fill a need, especially now that Duncan's gone. I wish him all the best. Guy seems eager and ready to bust his ass out there. It's all a process, and I trust the Spurs front office knows what they're doing. They've likely been planning for this for years now.
