Timeline of the SPURS DYNASTY'S COLLAPSE AND REBUILD | From Big 3 to Wemby

what you are seeing with wemi he is Kevin Durant but much more dominant defensively he is a but with much more length and size he is Wilt Chamberlain with a jump shot this is the future of the league ready to score San Antonio is again on top once again Spurs of the 2014 NBA champions the best team in the NBA once again resides in San Antonio Texas with the 30th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft the San Antonio Spurs select Kyle Anderson from UCLA was great, you know, I feel fresh, I feel like I was rested and did a lot of things in France the last two weeks, you know, with my foundation and my team there, but now I'm back here, I'm focused, You know, with this stimulus and I try to repeat, I can't think of one.

The real reason why Antonio can't repeat his NBA champions: they aged a little, the Spurs certainly won't be a juggernaut in the regular season, but as long as they are healthy heading into the playoffs, this team probably will be and Should be considered the team it should be, yeah, my God, I don't think so. Timmy ties the ball. G. Just coming here gave me a championship mentality and they just allowed me to play defense first. I was able to, you know, go out and demonstrate. my skill that I could do on the court each and every night GI to come in now they have Jordan in front of him inside Leonard knocked out burns the fallen defending champions and the Clippers have ripped the heart out of the Spurs I felt pretty good about health -In terms of I could still play, not at the level I want, but I can still play and effectively help a team and then the interest peaks, feeling good about myself, yes, I am, I am, I am lap. can do it one or two more years the Spurs will sign Aldridge to a four-year contract worth more than $80 million.

Aldridge had spent his entire 9-year career with the Portland Trailblazers before moving to the Spurs last season. He averaged a career-high 23.4 points per game along with 10.2 rebounds. Kawhai Leonard appears to be in San Antonio for the long haul. The restricted free agent reportedly reached a contract agreement with the Spurs Max Steelers for 5 years 90 million. The 24 year old quickly became one of the best two way players in the NBA chance to win no chance to be a part of uh really come here and learn in my mind what to play for why to keep playing this was really the only place that made sense that the Spurs are capable of winning a championship every year, I mean how crazy is it for Tony Parker Mon jobi Tim Duncan that at the end of their careers they say that every season I went to training camp I had the chance to win the championship, you have no idea how the Spurs are going to beat you, you just know it's going to be collectively and somehow someone is going to hit you, but you don't know where the hits are coming from, that's what the Spurs do, They also take drastic measures against Aaron Gordon, Kawai protects him. he gets to work he gets up to win oh baby oh Ka why Leonard the K means cold blood just playing my basketball harder being focused on the defensive end gives me the confidence to put pressure on my man and just having that confidence I want to try harder and just being the best basketball player he could be he wins with race he loses with class the Spurs in the same way they always give credit to the opponent when they have been defeated what a spectacular turnaround perhaps for the last time in his illustrious career with the national team 29th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft San Antonio Spurs select Jante Murray from the University of Washington It's the end of an era for the San Antonio Spurs Team's franchise player and Allstar Center Tim Duncan retires after 19 seasons Duncan, nicknamed the great fundamental, had one of, for me, the best careers of any professional player.

I take it as an incredible opportunity to be part of this first family. I try to contribute my talent to this incredible team and see how far we can go. That is the plan that begins. With La and I first, if we win a championship, it will be up to us to lead the group. You know, our mentality is focused on winning and improving at every step. Definitely, our competitive group just takes the approach of being a leader, like I said. Rard does not raise anything with the ridiculous bomb to surprise, comes out and shoots Harden BR of Leonard, the man blocked by the Spurs Basketball for many, many years.

I don't know if his career is over or not, but just in case, this is one of those days where I feel really bad because a great player and a great champion like him is not going to be with us for the rest of these playoffs. We watched Kawai continue playing and he clearly wasn't himself. They know they have a In the seventh game, they know the team is still going to go out and beat the competitive ones, they won't beat the Houston Rockets without him in uniform, but it's going to be great to have a game, this is the Golden State Warriors, They defend the perimeter. they defend the interior and score in groups they are explosive they will take the Spurs out of the building without kawh Leonard is not going to work kawh L will have to be ready Leonard shoots from the corner and Leonard falls again and is in pain again in front of the Spurs bench, An ankle that took a big hit in the third quarter, one that was already sore, they've been the best team in the West for the last few years and they showed it again, so the guys came out. and they competed, they had a good game plan, you know, you know, for the guys that we had there, we just went out and did everything we could do and with the 29th pick in the 2017 NBA draft, the San Antonio Spurs select to Derek.

White from the University of Colorado, especially in that mid-level exception, I would like to get him at that price for San Anton. He is coming off an Achilles tendon injury. RC Buford, the Spurs general manager, how excited he and the great Papovich were to get it. LaMarcus Aldridge. staying in San Antonio for a while, we just received reports that the Spurs reached an agreement on a contract extension that will keep La here for the next four years. For me, I just set a goal to be able to put 100% effort into the season by doing that. I only set myself the goal of winning the Definitive Prize.

Only I try to put drive and energy into my team in that game, since we know what happened to him last year and many of his injuries. they're kind of connected, like if you have some problem with your quadriceps, it can spread throughout your body and I think the Spurs are, we know them well, this is what the Spurs do, this is horrible, uh, out indefinitely now as it continues recovering from a quadriceps injury that has kept him out basically the entire season he has missed 27 games so far coach pop said the injury has not responded the way we wanted kawai's relationship with the San Antonio Spurs is not as good as it could be ser Kawai LED has the mentality that from a medical perspective he could get better treatment, they have mishandled him, they have mishandled his injury, the players were essentially reaching out to Leonard to say we want to help you, we want to be here for you ,uh. and the message they got essentially was: I have a good reason not to play and this continues.

They are reaching a point of no return here this season. It's on fire. It's burning. He is burying. He did it. He blew it up. I should have blown it because this is not the guy you bet on and build with. I'm sorry, he just quit this team and I don't understand it. Larcus has been the monster all year. He doesn't complain. about anything damn on the court, he just plays regardless. I can't imagine being more proud of a player in terms of playing through adversity and being there for his teammates night after night after night, no wonder we speculate about this, that.

The relationship was irreparable in terms of how it played out over the course of the season and will likely be for the best for both teams, with the team being Kawhi Lanard and the Spurs, of course, going in different directions with the 18th pick in the NBA draft. 2018 NBA. San Antonio Spurs select Lonnie Walker fourth out of the University of Miami, you're here in Memphis, now, any kind of comparison you can make from your time in San Antonio, I mean, yeah, they're just two different organizations. eh, you already know that. was my moment in the past we'll have to wait probably about a year to really know if there's a winner or a loser here because this is one of the strangest star trades I've ever seen because we don't know Kawh Leonard's health is going to be the same player he was two years ago Tony Parker leaves the Spurs heading to Charlotte the news came out this afternoon that Parker will sign a 2 year, $10 million contract to play for the Hornets.

To have a big role with that ballclub that will play up to Kimo Walker 16 seasons here is completely unexpected and going through everything I went through was big disappointments, big victories, creating that kind of togetherness, it's been an incredible journey, like I said. Well, a new era in San Antonio Spurs basketball is here and the future seems uncertain jonte Murray The point guard of the future for the Spurs suffered a serious injury against the Rockets yesterday days after rookie Lonnie Walker injured his knee. NBA analysts and fans have been hounding the Spurs. if this is finally the season San Antonio fails to make the playoffs, understand that if pop decided to

rebuild

and take picks, and I find it strange that ESPN Peg displaces the 10th place in the west with less than 40 wins, the San Antonio Spurs and Senator Paul Gasol have agreed to part ways, the Spurs will buy out Gasol's continuation contract, allowing a former Allstar to be eligible for the playoffs with his next team, which may be the Milwaukee Bucks.

Rudy G with an offensive rebound R rozen spins 360 oh hit him with the sauce dear. but he looks at this turn by Demar, how does he even do that? It was a more aggressive second half. You know, not selling as much for jump shots. You know, I think that's what killed us. You know, we couldn't make a shot that hurt. us, but we fought the fight we had in the second half and I think we have a better chance of winning with the 29th pick in the 2019 NBA draft. The San Antonio Spurs select Kelvin Johnson from the University of Kentucky RC Buford from 17 years.

The general manager's tenure is coming to an end as he will reportedly occupy an elevated position within Spurs assistant general manager of sports and entertainment Brian Wright appears set to take over as the new general manager. Obviously, I want to be here as long as I can. Those things I can't control, what I can control is learning better and just being a great person and being Deonte Murray, so if it happens, it happens, no, you don't know, my main goal is to help this team win. make the playoffs and do great things that the organization could very well do next to nothing or completely transform the roster.

I would be absolutely shocked if the top three of Jonay Murray, Derek White and Lonnie Walker were traded as the Spurs transition into a new era. is your base, you just watched the San Antonio Spurs who knew they were eliminated from playoff contention, ending a 22-year streak of making the playoffs in the NBA. The important thing is the moment in which you do what you have to do. You move on, but looking at the past doesn't help much. Any success we've had is because we've had great players during streaks or whatever you're talking about. I do not care about that.

I'm excited about the way they played here with the 11th pick in the 2020 NBA draft. The San Antonio Spurs select Devin vasel out of Florida State University. The raw talent, those guys just go out and play with nothing in their hearts, just my confidence comes from, you know, one time. they understand and have a better feel for his game, they will be much better and exciting to help watch his development, it's extremely exciting for me, look, Los Angeles has had some tough times this year, he's gotten hurt, he hasn't been around as much like before. He hasn't been his old self, he hasn't really been able to get into any kind of rhythm this year.

The Spurs are going to give La a chance to play for a contender. Four seconds left. Murray loses. Basketball lights up. Oh is. Well tell it, we're tied and going to overtime in San Antonio, we never established how many obstacles we had to go through playing, we never gave up when our backs were against the wall, we always continually found a way to try to fight back, give it credit a All of those guys, especially the young ones, went out and fought with the 12th pick in the 2021 NBA draft. The San Antonio Spurs select Joshua Primo out of Toronto and the University of Alabama.

Yeah, it's definitely different, you know, being part of an organization for so long. You know, it's a new chapter, it's a new beginning and I'm very excited for the Chicago Bulls to finalize a deal with four-time All-Star Deamar D Rozan on a three-year, $85 million deal now D Rozan averaged just over 212 points per game last season with the Spurs. I am delighted with this group. They are basicallyenergetic young people. There is no need to pace yourself. Nobody is going to play 39 minutes a game. We're not concerned with statistics, individual honors or anything like that. that these guys are just going to have fun playing, I think they improved, they improved their team.

Derek White is a very good player, he is an excellent defensive player, he can defend multiple positions and where they gain something, the guys, is in playmaking. Dark White averages close to six assists. per game it's just a testimony to many people something like this doesn't belong to an individual basketball is a team sport we all share this record it's not mine it's ours everything was better in the past oh my god, speaking a limited to drinking, oh I gotta make sure the pass goes and Drew Eubanks we are playing for the playoffs no doubt no one is here to lose to the coaches and players everyone wants to win when we lose people are down we win we feel the excitement from everyone in the room, so we played for the playoffs.

I think Spurs basketball is playing in the playoffs. It was an amazing group, you know, a young group that grew. Each and every day, you know we've gotten better and better, you know the individuals and as a team, uh, just as an individual for me, there's no playoffs, so it's a bust for me with the ninth pick in the draft. of the 2022 NBA that the San Antonio Spurs select. Jeremy soan from Milton keing England and Baylor University from jante Murray was traded to Atlanta the Spur's best player is now out of town we didn't think the Spurs would really do it but alas the 25 year old is gone to Atlanta for three future first-round picks, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft, was cut from the team.

This comes after a worrying report that Primo had exposed himself to several women, including a former Spurs employee. No one here should go to Las Vegas with the idea of ​​betting on us. to win the championship and I know someone will say God, what a Debbie Downer, there's a chance, and if they work really hard, it probably won't happen San Antonio Spurs game against Toronto last night, the Raptors made a deal to acquire the Spurs Center yaka pural that's in exchange for Raptor Center Kim bur plus a protected 2024 first round draft pick and two future second round picks down the road, we'll have to pick the ones we think we want to move forward with and that can spark careers.

We'll add a draft pick like you do every year and see what else we can do to continue to progress and get back to the stage we were at before the Charlotte Hornets made the second pick and that means the number one pick in the draft of the 2023 NBA draft goes to the San Antonio Spurs with the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft the San Antonio Spurs select Victor Wanyama of France nonar the five-time champion being their coach San Antonio since 1996 is the leader of all times in coaching wins New Deal lines up pop with new No. 1 overall pick Victor Wanyama via rookie deal Victor Wanyama is, as he said with tears in his eyes, a San Antonio Spurs, he's already faced so much criticism, He has already faced so many high expectations, and words like MVP Champion.

Hall of Famer and hasn't even played a game in the NBA yet, mom just put up his 12th for Middleton REM Bama, oh go ahead and leave it, are you kidding me? Come on, what are you seeing with wemi, he is Kevin Durant, but very much. He's more dominant defensively, but with a lot more length and size, he's Wilt Chamberlain with a jumper. This is the future of the league. My goals are always to help my team the best I can. To achieve this, I have to be good individually. on the court, you know, and dominant, so it's always been very important and I'm glad it's finally official.

The Spurs can't treat this as a long-term

rebuild

. They have to move quickly to build a real team around them. He is a player who is going to win multiple MVP awards and the defensive player of the year award will be retired in his name.
