I don't like the twin tower role they have going on down there with LMA and Pau. With Leonard the (bleep) Spurs has the best back court in the league

I don't mind. We need more powerhouse teams to challenge the Cavs and the Lulzwarrior.

He'll get his stats while making them a worse defensive team.

Nope, don't mind at all.

I mean, I'd love to see him succeed because he's a former Laker, and I don't understand wanting him to fail when he brought 2 titles to us, but yeah, he might only get 20mpg vs the Clippers if they face off in the playoffs- and LAC could pose some really tough matchup issues if Dedmon isn't a viable back up.

They went from a top defender in Duncan to one of the worst in Pau.

I'm not. I saw this move coming a mile away. Sadly, it's too late for Pau to give them what they truly need.

Their offense will be nice though

He should have gone to the Sp*rs straight away instead of wasting time in Chicago.

It's funny how strong your Spurs hate is, still. I enjoy it.
I on the other hand just can't hate them. I've tried, even after they knocked us out that one year, but I just don't hate them the way I do other teams.

And the truth is Pau should have gone to the Spurs instead of CHI, but the money was big.

I am actually hoping the Spurs do well this year. Would rather have them win out over any other team besides us, of course. I hate GSW, hate CLE, POR, BOS, and any other potential contender. I just can't hate the Spurs for some reason.

It's not wanting him to fail. It's the facts on who he is as a player.

He'll get his stats while making them a worse defensive team. It's been that for the past 4 years.

I don't hate it, it is what it is. He is ring chasing and not being very successful at it.

That's kinda harsh. "Ring chaser" is a term that should be reserved for guys that have never won a title.

I'm actually interested to see how LMA and Pau do... Both of them love the primetor game and that might make things complicated down in San Antonio.

No. He wasn't put in a position to succeed from Mike D'Antoni and Mike Brown. Laker fans weren't exactly the best at treating him well. Let him ring chase. He looked happy in Chicago.

They were up 2-1 against the Cavs in the 2015 EC finals before Pau went down to injury. They could've won it all if they had better health.
But Thibs and good health don't go hand in hand.

I am sick of the spurs reaching the playoffs and in contention for 20 years straight. I am hoping for something catastrophic to happen to the spurs so they can take a direct nose dive into the bottom pile of the NBA and out of the NBA post season for many years to come. chemistry issues and age would be the best case scenario for that team.

I'm really happy that Pau is with a good team. I like the Spurs, always have - even back to the ABA.

I think his departure from the LAL continues to reflect poorly on the Laker management team, that they let Pau dangle for two plus seasons in the trade markets when he obviously had a lot left in the tank to give his team. But just like when Pau was at Memphis with flagging interest in playing hard every night for the same reason, a guy can be punished publicly only so long before he's checked out. The Lakers did it to themselves: offering chump change only ? Idiots. If you're gonna be mad about Pau's situ, direct it where it belongs: Buss family and Mitch.

Enjoyment of the league's players isn't a zero sum game for most fan like me.
