But Budenholzer and his colleagues, already used to such remarks, complained: "Pop, there are still two months left in the offseason... we cannot trade Manu now."
Trade Ginobili?
That's absolutely impossible.
Because, more than anyone, Popovich knew the Spurs could never find another cost-effective "pseudo-star" like Ginobili.
At the AT&T Center, halfway through the second quarter, Duncan and Parker returned to the court one after the other.
This time, it was the Warriors' turn to lament.
Because they hadn't widened the score gap in the first half of the second quarter, they had to keep their star player Qin Yue on the court.
This is the San Antonio Spurs.
When they calm down and start playing seriously against you...
No matter how much you despise them, they are one of the best teams of this era, in the NBA.
On the Spurs' bench, Popovich, who had long since calmed down, sneered, "Playing like this, I don't believe he (Qin Yue) can make it to the fourth quarter."
