lmao you clearly aren't trying to argue in good faith when you throw in Juancho as a notable player we added.
Juancho played 42 games and was putting up 14mpg, how is that not notable? He was added to the team in an attempt to shore up our pathetic 3pt shooting, we didn't draft or trade for a 20-22 year old prospect, we picked up a 27 year old journeyman. Thad and Juancho combined, played significantly more minutes than Tre did on the spurs.
We added old players, they added 20 year olds. How you don't see the massive difference between those 2, is baffling.
lmao Juancho signed a minimum deal and had to battle it out in camp just to make the team. If we are calling that a notable signing, is Malik Williams a notable signing too? He played over 15 mpg for us too.
Why did you list all the young players for the Spurs but ignored the old players they acquired/signed like Thad Young (33), Tyler Zeller (30), Rudy Gay (33), Marco Belinelli (33), Demarre Carroll (33)?
The Carroll signing in particular was a massive blunder. He signed a 3 year deal that they bought him out of after he played just 15 games for them.
It's just extremely odd how you make it seem like we are the only team that adds veterans when it's not the case at all as the Spurs added just as many if not more.
Because I was isolating the 2 "treadmill" years for both teams.
Rudy gay was signed while Kawhi was still on the team, this is irrelevant.
Thad young was a return for their S&T of DD, they didn't acquire him specifically, this is irrelevant. He also played 370min for them, and played 1700+ for us.
Zeller played 4 total minutes in 2 games for the Spurs and they waived him. How in the hell is that considered "significant"? This is irrelevant.
Belinelli was signed while Kawhi was still on the team, this is irrelevant.
Demarre Carroll played a grand total of 135min over 15 games and was waived before the deadline, the realized it was a mistake and got rid of him. He played virtually no minutes, this is insignificant.
So no, it's not the same situation as us. We signed players during our treadmill years, and gave them significant minutes. The spurs either acquired them as salary filler in trades, were acquired while kawhi was still on the team, which makes absolutely 100% sense, or they played virtually zero minutes.
The older players we signed played over 2600 minutes, with that vastly deflated due to OPJ being injured. They no doubt expected him to match the 1300ish minutes he played for GSW the year prior. So conservatively they ate up 2600 minutes, but realistically what was planned for was closer to 5000+.
The spurs on the other hand added older players during that 2 year span, who totalled up during their entire time with the spurs to about 500min. So 5x lower than our actual, and 10x lower than the likely planned amount.
Facts matter in arguments, you making facts up don't. 2 of your 5 listed players were on the team prior to the Kawhi trade, and the other 3 combined played less minutes than Juancho in one season. Again, how you don't see the massive difference is confusing. Maybe you should stop ignoring facts to try and win an argument?
