Bro, don't you remember that the spurs were willing to trade Duncan for the #1 pick? And that same rumor was picking Oden.
Most of us on ST felt it was retarded; might be because we saw Durant play for UT and knew he was gonna be special. IIRC a lot of red flags came up around the draft about his health that were ignored.
Portland fans have been "taking their lumps" for a decade plus now. We all look like the Elephant man.
Smokescreen tbh. There was no chance they would've done it after all he did for the franchise. Loyalty goes a long way.
The only red flag was that one leg was slightly shorter than the other. That was it. Nobody could have foreseen that his body would completely break down like it did.
if it is, as you put it, a "cesspool", why are you staying? Seems to me, if one really felt that a place they frequented was a "cesspool", they'd want to leave.
Yes. We have a young team and are getting some nasty experience in the playoffs. There are also a million reasons why our team will never go further than it has this year. You're team is a dynasty, ours can just play nasty sometimes. I don't buy the "You tried you're best" bit.
Exactly. I still can't understand why some of your other Portland fans are taking this nonsense from an entitled Spurs fan who has never experienced his team failing. Outside of Game 6 of course, but still.
I remember a lot of articles being posted about various health ailments, but looking through the archives a lot of them were actually jokes. I also do notice a lot of Spurs fans did like him, but would've taken Durant first.
You haven't watched the last 8 years of Spurs basketball, have you? They've choked more than any team in recent memory (other than my Niners....and Rangers...).
