Not gonna lie, this is some poetic justice right here

I am kind of enjoying the LaMarcus apologists on the Spurs Forum more than the hatred... they think they just need to get more talent around him. It's like deja vu all over again but it's happening to the Spurs now instead of us. It's much easier to enjoy from the outside looking in.

 

Spurs fans have taken over for Laker fans in that they think they're going to sign anyone they want. Next up: Kevin Durant.

 

Yes it was. But if you read this forum, you knew it was crap

 

The thing is, why would Durant want to sign with a team worse than his, one that he just beat?

 

Because the Spurs gets what the Spurs wants.

 

Probably because if he signed there it wouldn't be worse than the one he left?

 

That's certainly a viewpoint that's somewhat supported by the fact that he left. Of course, the countervailing position is that Aldridge was being truthful when the article was written, but that the events that happened after that...Wes getting injured, a quick exit from the playoffs, good sales job by the Spurs, and a chance to be closer to his family simply changed his mind. Guess we'll never know the truth and I'm equally sure that it won't stop being debated on this forum, but as it turn out, I don't much care anymore.

 

And now we can resume our gloating over his failures.

 

Exactly.

 

On the Spurs FA front... They have $70mil in Guaranteed contracts for next year. That doesn't include players who can opt out or have an option or can be a FA. Guys that doesn't include are.

Boris Diaw (TO)
Tim Duncan (PO)
Manu Ginobili (PO)
David West (PO)
Boban Marjanovic (RFA)
Jonathan Simmons (TO)

They also have Free Agents Matt Bonner, Rasaul Butler, Andre Miller and Kevin Martin

So they only have $22mil in cap space this summer. Why would Durant take an $8+ mil a year paycut to go play for a team he just beat and already has Leonard and Aldridge at positions he would potentially play? Would Conley take $22mil while Parker is still there?

 

they get conley and parker starts coming in off the bench, then trade us patty and we have a pretty legit backup pg....

 

You tend to love to leave certain facts out when you post certain things. I have fixed this post for you to be more accurate...

 

Yes he did, but that was just lip service. People were told that and chose not to listen. Instead they bullied those of us who said it

 

Dude. IT doesnt matter what anyone thinks. he said what he said and he let us down. Do I care? No. We are better off without him, but don't paint him like some saint that never messed with the fans heads. He is a Diva and got the attention he wanted, but wont get the ring. We can absolutely feel good about it because he said he wanted to do it here and then turned and left. It doesn't matter the reasons. He did it. End of story.

 

Lip service SMit smervice....

He said it. End of story. He blatantly and purposefully played with our heads as fans. Stop defending the Diva. Your wrong.

 

How is that pronounced? The wiki isn't real clear.

 

Played you, not me. Had you listened instead of thinking honesty was trolling you would mot have been shocked or let down. End of story

 

MM doesn't really attack or defend players; his comments are usually value judgments on fandom.

He's not defending LMA; he's calling people who were surprised or hurt by LMA's departure gullible. He's not attacking Meyers Leonard; he's calling people who think Meyers has potential insane.

If you know this about MM, his insights become more clear and valuable. He seems to enjoy a lot of things, but has little patience for magical thinking.

 

Shaw-den-froyd.........at least that's what I was told......
