They make it for sure.
Spurs have good players, pop just isn't trying to be good. Spurs roster is waaay better than the warriors roster without Steph.
Detroit as well, they have good big man, and guys that can run.
I think your underestimating Stephs "gravity" and how he raises everyone's floor.
Rudy needs to dress as the circus ring master going into the next game.
He was asking for good players. Did you see the players he listed, the only one that you mention that even comes close is prime Ricky Rubio.

If you like the Spurs because how they play right now, you need to find a better team.
They have to make a trade, otherwise they are wasting all those picks.
Tbh, there title window is a couple years away, so you don't want to cshs them in yet.
That being said, if you ignore Denver, the west does look wide open.
I know everyone is heaping praise on Maxey, but their biggest jump is going from Doc to Nurse.
If you only look at career, you could argue Larry is #6 right now.
The players are simply contracted workers that play for the owners. The owners are (checks notes) compromised of mostly old white men. The owners choose their commissioner. He is not even the "boss" if the owners, he is more their mouthpiece.
Players frequently have POC in leadership positions for them, the NBAPA.
Counterpoint, Arvydas Sabonis would be the greatest center of all time if he had come to the US right away.
No Wizard would ever pool
Even if we "win" the trade, it's an overpay. Simply because we seemed to be only out bidding ourselves.
We got fleeced, but both the Jazz and the Wolves can come out winners.
