Yeah think about it. Ever since Shaq left, he took all the competition with him. The Lakers aren't what they used to be, the rivalaries between the Spurs and Lakers aren't the same.

I don't see another Western Conference Team giving us trouble like the Lakers gave us the past few years.

Tim Thomas? Hmmm...

You think he would want the veterans mininum?

No, but the Spurs will have their MLE next summer.

mb they would but argentina thinks the spurs should save the full mle for scola

I don't think that would happen. Think about it: Scola would have to buyout his contract, just to sign up for midlevel exception. Unless the buyout is cheap, Scola won't part ways from the Argentina team.

dude the mle is more then what he is making now

Cheap? Didn't we have trouble agreeing to a buyout for his contract this summer?

dude his buyout last summer was 15 million
spurs thought scola and his agent worked the buyout to like 3 million
but 15 million is WAY to much

just because his buyout is huge does not make him make more then the mle each year

Other free agents for next summer include: Bobby Simmons, Nene, Peja Stojakovic, Vladimire Radmanovic, Al Harrington, Jason Terry, Caron Butler, James Posey, Bobby Jackson, Speedy Claxton, and Tim Thomas.

All Spurs fans hoping that's the case, ducks.

he will never be a spur if he wants more then the mle the first year he is a spur

If he wanted more than the mle, then I guess we should consider trading the guy.

for the record I wanted him over malik rose but now I am not sure he will ever be a spur

Malik Rose's fate was sealed once we signed him to that contract he had.

I'm pretty sure everyone is watching to see if he will improve his shooting or him complaining his knees ache especially since Pop warned him not to play at the France tournaments. Heck we can have Beno be the guy to replace him (He's cheaper anyway). Give Beno more minutes and he'll be much more consistent than Parker.

This is just a blasphemy, you guys just can't appreciate the worth of a young, up & coming PG like Tony. Beyond all of his flaws -which still can be corrected- he's still a starting PG with qualities, the kind of quality that can help a team winning championship. He's young, yet already a vet, and doesn't have attitude problem toward his teammates, & esp the coach.

Tayshaun is good, i'm not gonna deny that, but is he THAT GOOD ? With the scoring strength that this team posses right now, getting and/or molding a defensive SF isn't all that difficult, and much more cheaper than trying to get Prince -which will command the kinda salary that Tony's commanding right now- & speculating that Beno WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH as a starting PG for a championship team like us, while assuring if HE ACTUALLY DOES, than he's WILLING TO TAKE LESS THAN WHAT MARKET DICTATES FOR A PLAYER LIKE HIM.

Tony's salary + defensive specialist SF as Bruce replacement's salary < Tayshaun's salary + Beno's salary -if he's actually good enough to start

YOU GUYS MUST REMEMBER, POINT GUARD COMMANDS PREMIUM SALARY COMPARED TO SF, assuming that Tony's & Tayshaun's salary are equal, than paying a young, defensive minded SF is more economical than paying a starting PG like Beno.

In a perfect world the Spurs land Prince next summer without giving up anyone of note.
