There are crazy teams (desperate is more like it) out there. But Nazr isn't worth even Joe Johnson $$ ($70mil).Quote:

Why can't they stop being tight asses, pay over the cap for once, and re-sign Nazr to a good large deal...within reason of course! If the league is getting to the point where players like JOE JOHNSON get maximum freakin contracts, then it just may be pointless to even try....but hopefully this stupid ass spending stops...it wont though
One thing IS certain though folks....as everyone else not blinded by spurs-bias says
"you can't win championships with Rasho Nesterovic as your center"
What's better than owning a team that's a threat to win championships every year?
Apparently, it is owning one that that is a threat to win a championship every year and at the same time will garner ownership the maximum amount of the lux tax distribution they are entitled to receive.
I am quite sympathetic to the argument that the Spurs should stop being so damn cheap.
hey MB hook up the total salary for the spurs and total salary for the mavs for last season
i wouldnt know where to find it
But if memory serves....wasnt the Mavs payroll RIDICULOUSLY higher than the Spurs???
I mean do Holt et al. always have to be like this? Suck it up fuckers, we have the greatest player in the world, one of the ALL TIME GREATS, in his prime, put a good fucking team around him and we could finally repeat for gods sake
Ironically, the amnesty clause might turn that heavy flow of tax distribution into a trickle. For instance, if NY and Dallas waive Houston and Finley, that payment drops by a little over 1.5 million each of the next two years.

Yeah. And check out the season ticket prices that go with those salaries. And think what those prices would be if the Knicks weren't such a lameass team.Quote:

I will add that we should not forget that Manu and TP's prices are far less than what they could've been. I'm sure most NBA owners would have no problem going over the lux tax threshold to ensure this roster and coaching staff had what it needed to remain a championship team.
The Spurs are milking the arena deal and the lux tax system for all it's worth. No surprise there. Well, at least for some of us.
holt is not a fool
he runs it like his business (tracker business)
he is a smart business man
you may call him cheap but his plan seems to be working well
you can not fault the titles
