Won't happen until Duncan's situation is resolved.
Maybe Duncan will be on coaching staff.
I mean, I really don't know what happens if Tim plays this year :lol? Based on Manu's agents' comments & reports of a large 1 year deal for Manu, I don't see how they can pay Manu and have Tim come back and his full salary count. That would mean having to trade another 4M in salary.Quote:

What a shitty comparison - how'd you do on the analogy portion of the SAT's?Quote:

In order to sign Gasol, they need about 15M in cap space. Everyone under contract counts for the amount of their contract. Free agents that haven't been renounced have a cap hold based on their previous salary. There are also cap holds for first round picks and roster spots if there are less than 12 players accounted for.
Duncan opted in, so he counts for his salary of about 6M. Manu opted out, so his cap hold counts for about 4M. When everything else is accounted for, the Spurs do not have sufficient cap space to sign Gasol. If Duncan is not coming back, they can use the stretch provision on his salary and his cap number would go down to about 2M. That would create enough cap space to sign Gasol. Once he has signed (plus anyone else that uses cap space like Bertans), then the Spurs can sign Manu to any amount up to the max.
This is all just so weird. I expected Tim to have worked out all the contingencies with the FO in the last month or so. It's hard to imagine what the holdup is; maybe Tim really is retiring and the Spurs are having trade talks with teams about getting back a player for Tim's contract? But then the Spurs would have to renounce Manu leaving only the minimum or a bit extra, and that doesn't seem to be happening...Quote:

Yeah, it's strange. I'm all for giving Timmy whatever time he needs, but if he decides to play the team will face some very poor choices.Quote:

What would happen if Tim decided to come back? Does that mean they couldn't sign certain players they made agreements with?Quote:

Hey baseline bum...
You and your troll friends are still trying to bury my posts to keep young people from seeing them. I might as will link to them in your threads. I don't have many other options.

Who is this Cosmored and why does he spam the forum with that stupid shit? :lol
Look at this post of baseline bum's. Do you call this spam? Do you call his behavior trolling?Quote:

If you don't like this info for some reason, tell us why.

Go to that thread and we can talk about it. How do you know it doesn't reflect reality? Try talking to some Latin Americans about what the US does in their countries. Most of them are aware of this but they're afraid to talk about it because they might get beaten up by simple-minded patriotic jingos.
I lived in Mexico City for four years back in the eighties and I talked to a lot of people from south of the Mexican border too. What they all told me was consistent with the info in that thread.
Bullshit, the only thing you did in Mexico City was fuck your mother some more without even the common decency to pay the coyote to get her across the river after. I spit on you.Quote:
