You guys think we can actually win the West... But seriously I don't like how the FO built this team, and thats before we all knew jrue was damaged goods
Many of the moves are head scratchers or just seemed to be reactionary. I'm sure there was a plan to what Demps was doing. But the environment of the league changed and he was stuck holding contracts that he thought he could flip. Maybe with the spending spree this summer, some of those contracts become attractive again. There are no big moves coming until next summer. So the team is what it is until then.
This is hard to admit. But, other than Davis, I really don't care about anybody on this team. I generally root for players I've seen develop, as in the team drafted (or acquired when they were raw) or that played/came from my local area. Or I hear a story and take a personal interest in the guy, like Mudiay's story. But my favorite players are quiet, dirty, tough, flexible, underpaid guys that play out of their minds. The team really doesn't have any of those type of guys. I had some hopes for Rivers. But he just couldn't get any traction with 4 combo guards ahead of him. It's just going to be tough season when the only guys I like watching are Davis, Pondexter, Cunningham and Ajinca. I'm kind of warming up to Babbit. But he needs to take a big leap forward and stop living/dying by the 3.
It's just kind of telling that the team doesn't have a guy that came from or played/attended a college within 1000 miles of the city. Or that only 1 guy has been drafted and only played for them, that is still on the team. It's just a team of various guys thrown together. It's hard to invest of care about those type of players..

We will start out way to slow to make the 8th seed.

That's kind of shitty to say about your own team tbh...
You don't care to see a great guy like Jrue bounce back?
Ryno(who's one of the most likable players around) bounce back from a physically(and emotionally) draining past couple of years and return to being the ryno we know?
A guy like cole who wears his heart on his sleeve and clearly works his arse of on the court and was a good influence on the guys?
shite even gordon has done a great job of intergrating himself and has been one of if not the most positive guy this offseason. This is a guy that was vilified and played through an injury that could've ending his season if he chose too.
That is a very flawed viewpoint you have. If it's such a struggle,what's the point?

Teams don't think like this
The spurs have used guys from europe or washed up vets for over a decade. They draft/acquire guys from both ends of the earth and put them into the right system. They don't think to just acquire a guy from TX,LA,OK,KS etc.
This is also true for many teams that have been successful. They don't really care if a guy is "local".
