Says you. Lets say he only gets 5 million. That would only leave 9-11 million and that does not land you a max player either. Not to mention you have to fill out an entire roster while trying to avoid the luxury tax.Quote:

The BAE still counts against the cap, so if the Spurs are wanting to max somebody out they have to give up the BAE too. Moot point though since the Spurs won't be in that situation.
2009:
- Gooden
- extension for Manu
- possibly Gist
2010:
- MLE
- hopefully Splitter
- draft pick
BAE used in one of those years.
correct as usual. was still using some of my pre-economy flop figures. totally slipped my mind. thanks.Quote:

we throw a chunk of the capspace to ginoboli and try to win a ring again with the 3 cores with rookies and vets on the cheaps? if we aint winnin it this year or next year, why continue if we know this team aint competitive?
These kind of comments are an epic kind of ignorant and stupid.Quote:

Because the alternative is to give up on the 09-10 season before it's even started by not doing anything in offseason 2009 just so that you can hope that the Spurs are able to convince a big name to sign here in 2010. And those hopes depend on that big name being willing to take less than the max. Not very good odds of that happening IMO.Quote:

In that case we'd have to rely on an aging Duncan to play 40+ mins for the whole season and playoffs. Such a team would have no chance to win a championship.Quote:

The reason we have 3 all stars right now is that both Parker and Manu are blatantly underpaid. No way any star is underpaid in 2010 because there are too many teams with lots of money to offer, so it wouldn't be realistic to expect to get someone for less than their market value.
If the Spurs don't win it all this year I think we will see major core changes that might make the 2010 plan mot. I believe I remember Tony Parker talking about this in an interview earlier this year.

Ya, that is the thread I started. I think what we have concluded is that some of the mainstays will be gone, but none of the big 3. No more Bowen, Oberto...Quote:
