We Are Bakking Cake When We Should Have Been Cooking Soup

Traded George Hill to Indiana for the draft pick when Leonard was still on the board.

And don't forget that when the soup fell behind the quality of the competition, they weren't content on sticking with the same basic recipe and insisting customers should just continue to buy out of loyalty. Nope, they went out and got the unique ingredient(s) to roll out the new and improved product.

The Spurs made soup and yes there are steps and timing on when to add things... Years ago the Spurs traded a core piece for a rookie because the soup was a bit bland. That ingredient beat Lebron in the finals.

No, I think you mistook the Spurs action. It was actually a step, the Jazz just haven't got there yet. If Trey Burke gets to be kind of good, then the Jazz will trade him. That's how the Spurs cake was made.

In fact, that is why the Jazz didn't just draft Leonard that year, they knew that would be skipping steps for the organization to just draft the best player in the draft. So they continued drafting lesser players hoping they could someday use them to trade up to get the better player. You see following the Spurs patter, and not skipping steps can seem a bit confusing to the untrained eye. That is why it takes experienced Spurs executives to spread out through the league to explain to the other teams. We are just lucky the Jazz got a Spurs exec before they skipped anymore steps.

Who is the core piece and the rookie you speak of? All the important "ingredients" the Spurs have was acquired in the draft (Robinson, Duncan, Elliot, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard).

Edit: nvm...I saw your response.

Spurs have an elevator let's be honest... We are taking what about Bob baby steps, but I still contend this is soup and not cake. Cake is mixed and thrown into the oven... Soup is carefully watched over and added to as needed.

Also if you get a good soup finished it can get even better the next day as things soak in... This is what has happened in golden state.

So I say eff the cake and let the soup simmer while adding spice as needed. SOUP!

You can have steak too... The analogy is the same... Just less ingredients that why I used soup. Steak is like Lebron though... Don't have to add much to it to make it great.
