So the Spurs lose Gary Neal? Yeah, this offseason has been terrible for them.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Re-signing Splitter and Ginobili... losing Neal. The only decent thing they did was add Belinelli. The FO can't honestly believe they're going to win with this team do they? It sucks too because other than the Bulls winning I'd love to see Duncan win another championship before he retires. But the Spurs had to make a big move this offseason for that to happen. That would have been signing Al Jefferson or Paul Milsap. Splitter re-signing isn't too bad but he should have been moved to the bench and Spurs should have signed Jefferson/Milsap and have one of them start.

C: Duncan/Splitter
PF: Milsap/Diaw
SF: Leonard/Belinelli
SG: Green/Ginobili
PG: Parker/Neal

That team wins the West again and has a great chance at winning the title. Bringing back pretty much the same exact team will probably end with the same result as last season or... now that the Clippers are stacked and if Doc Rivers can get them to play to their potential and if Westbrook comes back the Spurs might not even be good enough to make it back to the finals. I feel bad for Duncan and Parker.

Seasons will come and go but people will continue to on the Spurs.

Unless Leonard turns into a superstar by next season this Spurs team is pretty much exactly the same. And this team was lucky enough to avoid the Thunder in the playoffs. The same Thunder that beat them the season before. Next season when Westbrook returns they're a threat to the Spurs. And the Clippers with their new players and Doc Rivers as a coach has a great shot at winning the West next season. Can't forget about Houston now that they have Dwight Howard. Also the Warriors will be better and maybe the Grizzlies too. Spurs will have more competition next season in the Western Conference.

Expect the same thing. Regular season success followed by postseason disappointment.

The same Thunder team? Aren't you forgetting about that guy with the beard?

Also, while I agree that the west will be tougher overall, the Spurs essentially fumbled the trophy into Lebron's lap in game 6. They don't need to change much, and Neal isn't so good that we need him.

Getting Thomas in the draft + Bellenlli >>>>>>losing Neal

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Belli is so much better than Neal. If Pop weren't Pop, Belli would be the starting SG and a potential all-NBA player.

[Jameerthefear]

Marco is a good pickup. Only problem is their one year older. Manu is on his last leg, and Tim can't keep up this level of play for too much longer. We'll see though. I won't count them out.

[HarryCallahan]

-Spurs have too many guards
-Belinelli is cheaper than Neal, better and is actually capable of defending SG's
-Spurs need that roster spot for a back-up to Kawhi.


How many threads is op gonna make b!tching about the Spurs. It's pretty gay. Especially because he has retarded opinions like Gary Neal being able to play pg, or Al Jefferson not being a horrible fit.

Tim can't keep up this level of play for too much longer

Timmy posted a career high in blocks per game, while also playing a career low in minutes. I'd say he can keep it up for a few more seasons.

[flipogb]

hes gonna suck now, just watch. Spurs rotate shooters in and out based on who has a hot hand, makes em all look better than they really are.

[Greg Oden 50]

they will sign oden

I read this shit year after year but when POs arrive eveyone changes their minds.
Spurs are together with OKC the best teams in the West; Rockets and Warriors are still behind for now imo.
Clippers with that frontcourt and Memphis lack of scoring options don't make them look so dangerous tbh.

The Ginobli deal is bad but SA front office is always loyal with their players while Tiago new contract isn't so bad, big men will always be paid.

As for letting Neal go, i'd say it was about fukcing time. He makes some lucky shots but overall is garbage, his defense is awful.
Belinelli is a great pick up and a huge upgrade over Neal, you should know it since you are a Chicago fan.

[thefatmiral]
