Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

I really hope we get an interesting off season. I want to see the landscape of the NBA really change. Big player movement, big trades, shocking draft, out-of-nowhere retirements. I want it all. :mark: And a healthy Rose.

Yeah, crazy off-seasons are always fun. Just hope the Bulls are a big part of the madness.

Since I'm a Lakers & Magic fan, I wanna hear their realistic options for this summer, without having to check fucking ESPN and Bleacher daily.

Isn't Kevin Love's indecision becoming very similar to the Dwight stuff? lmao

I hope Duncan retires and rides off into sunset as a true boss.

Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

Do you guys think Duncan will retire? I honestly think this guy has 2 good seasons left in him and might possibly win a 6th ring. Anything is possible!

Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

With this lineup, they can go back to the finals. But as usual, OKC scares me. Imagine their bench with Pau Gasol as well. Talk about Experience!

I hope Tim does retire. Ride off into the sunset while you're still on top, I wouldn't want him to retire after something like getting kicked out in the first round

Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

I think it'd be great for that Spurs core (Duncan, Pop, Manu) to go out in the sunset (Parker still is a bit young and has some years left) but it's rare to see that in sports. They usually hold on a year too long or leave a year too late. Duncan's the only one I see possibly leaving since he doesn't have much to accomplish (he's pretty much cemented as top 8-9-10 player ever and don't think another title changes much of that).

As for the Pistons, well no draft pick :)() because of a poor Dumars trade (which was because of a poor free agency signing). Maybe SVG can work some magic and get Smith out of there in a deal (probably gonna hop on the trade machine pretty quick). Otherwise a guy like Lowry would be a nice try to get to take PG duties from Jennings.

Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

I actually kinda think Kawhi is a fringe superstar already bth. Great defender, smart player, has a pretty deep offensive game. Has ability to do pretty much everything on the basketball floor at some capacity. He is going to benefit greatly every year he plays with Duncan and Parker with Pop as coach. He is only going to get better.

He plays in San Antonio though so I don't think he needs to worry about over exposure/pressure etc.

Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

kawhi is a star. just not a superstar. I rank him as a top 20 player right now. you guys need to think of it this way, if he was the #1 option on a team and playing large minutes every night, he'd most definitely be a 20+ ppg scorer. if he wasn't a part of a system that strongly emphasizes sharing the rock until the perfect shot is available, his assist rate would look considerably better as well. there's literally nothing that paul george does that kawhi can't do. in fact, he's already a superior defender and shooter. that's why he should be regarded as a premiere player in this league.

Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

Paul George has the same knocks he always has. I just don't think he does the things necessary to get better. Hopefully he does because his ceiling is immense.

I don't think Kawhi needs to score 20 ppg to be a superstar anyway. The guy has such a strong impact on the game regardless of his scoring clip.

Re: 2013/14 belongs to SPURS

But you can't just assume because Kawhi plays great as a 3rd-4th option that he would be a 20+ PPG scorer if he was asked to be the focal point of the offense. PG is asked to be the go to guy, focal point of the offense every single night, consistently asked to create his own shot instead of being a spot up shooter. Kawhi is not. I really have trouble believing a team could win 56 games with Kawhi Leonard as the #1 option.

I can easily think of 20-30 players better than Kawhi. He's not a star. He's a good player, but he's not a star. People throw that word around too loosely nowadays.
