You just admitted Stone's decisions left us with no flexibility. 3rd seed with zero roster flexibility = ceiling capped. Can't improve at the...
OKC is the #1 seed. We're #3. That's not "less wins", they're literally winning MORE despite injuries. They've won 48 games. We've won what, 34?...
If we're 1M below the apron with no flexibility, WHO PUT US THERE? Stone made those decisions
OKC is 48-15 and the #1 seed. They've dealt with major injuries all season. Chet missed 2+ months with a fractured hip, Hartenstein missed the...
Fine, let's use YOUR definition. Par = league average. There are 30 teams so average is 15th. Stone has the 3rd most draft capital accumulated in...
Look, to be clear: I'm not saying Stone should be fired. He's gotten us competitive ahead of schedule and deserves to see this through. My...
"around the same wins" with another year of player development IS the problem. Sengun, Jabari, Amen, Tari should all be better than last year. If...
You're confusing process with results. Stone inherited a war chest of assets and a clear tanking timeline. Turning that into playoff contention...
Injuries are part of the game. Good GMs build rosters with depth to withstand them. Stone didn't Again, you're proving my point: we're paying 12m...
that's a revisionist history you have there. Stone led the coaching search and publicly endorsed Ime when he was hired back in 2023. Tilman...
You're missing the key distinction here: trajectory vs expectations. The Spurs are ahead of schedule in their rebuild. They drafted really well...

let's put it in perspective: - Spurs haven't been to the playoffs recently due to the rebuild hence the debatable context I added in my original...
Fertitta signed off on the hire but it was Stone who led the coaching search and convinced Ime
hence the "(still debatable until we see them actually go deep in this year's playoffs)"
That's a Stone hire though. If he knows he is getting nothing out of Ime, he still holds the cards and should be able to do something about it right?
being in a forum doesn't mean you have to be an ass though. True, I agree that Stone did some great moves to set us up for the future but since...
you got to learn how to chill man. KD wanted to be here that's why Stone was able to trade for him. I'm not even arguing with you and I don't know...
Stone is subpar but not the worst GM out there for sure. Scott Perry from the Kings for example is someone I wouldn't want over Stone
Became a diva after 2 all star selections. No more effort and lacks the competitive fire
