I honestly believe they wouldve been eliminated by the Grizz had Tony Allen not get injured. Thats even with an injured Conley.
This feels like the downer you get after having LOTS of sugar. C'mon free agency, I need another hit!
GS didn't add extra pieces this past summer I don't think. Maybe Livingston but Continuity is valuable. Yes , KD is back but still don't know how that foot will heal or if it will last the whole season. Remember Yao, now Embiid, big men with foot problems never a for sure thing. Spurs just getting old and windows closing unless they land LMA may have a chance just this year imo I think sometimes when things don't unfold not necessarily a bad thing. We have had luck on our side, we had pieces due to previous trade that was annuled by NBA. We could of had Gasol n Nene front but instead it became Harden and Howard
Why would most teams want to help us land LMA? Morey & Hinkie have a great personal relationship and are operating in different conferences, so that's always the first logical destination for moves like this -- at least in my mind. Same reason I wasn't surprised to see Pop & Bud doing business.
I honestly hope we keep the team as is. Re-up Bev (although it'd be expensive) and Smith. Let Brewer walk, unfortunately. Trade Jones for a good backup point guard. Not sure who. Then, you roll with what you've got. It's really not a bad team, and was a few injuries away from really competing to get into the finals. Isn't that what we all hope for? So, with every passing second that doesn't bring up something positive for us, I really am not heart broken.
Rockets still need a pure shooter if they are going to continue to jack up the most threes in the NBA.
I would call you the most tedious, miserable person I've ever read, but you have a lot of competition around here.
They don't. The Rockets getting past the Clippers was a good adjustment in sending Jones to the bench and starting Smith along with a massive choke job by the Clippers. The Warriors run was literally every team they faced in the playoffs losing their starting PG and the final two teams they played missing their starting PG and starting PF while they were at full strength. That kind of injury luck has never happened before, and will almost certainly never happen again.
