Why?
guys we're just lucky some of you are not in the front office. You play with your hearts. There's a reason Malik is on the block again, hes undersized player with a big contract. He would not get any minutes on our team.
I'd give up Rasho for Malik
(and the Knicks' 2006 first-round draft pick - unprotected , of course :))
no way you trade Rasho for Malik.
malik is like the ex in a relationship, getting back together might be fun or a little while but in the long run you will regret the decision.
Hmmm, are you talking about Malik or Rasho?Quote:

Link please shoogar.
Like everyone else, I'd love to have Malik back here. In fact, the numbers may match up well. However, there's an old NBA adage among GMs that you NEVER trade big for small. I would have to give up Rasho only to have Nazr walk after this year and we'd be left with nothing.
Now, if we could persuade the Knicks to package in, say an Antonio Davis, then the Spurs would have to package someone else with Rasho to make the salaries match.
In this case, we'd get back some size - at least temporarily anway.
I wouldn't mind at all a trade of Malik and Antonio Davis for Rasho and Beno Udrih.
Too bad the salaries dont match.
Again, people, the Spurs have one thing on their mind at the moment: shedding bigman salary. With Oberto at $2.5 mil a season for the next three, Horry sticking around for a couple more and Scola a candidate to join the Spurs next offseason at a relatively cheap NBA price, Radoslav and Nazr don't make a lot of sense to Holt Cat.
If you're mad, well, don't get pissed when someone calls your Lord, your Savior Holt Cat cheap.
Scola is never coming to this team.Quote:

Coach Brown should know Malik is a keeper.
good thing i.thomas is ignorant about that adage :)Quote:

The one fact in support of a Radoslav for Rose swap is that Rose makes roughly $650K less than Radoslav. Holt Cat would get the payroll reduction he seeks for this season to perhaps get under the lux tax threshold. Both contracts expire at the end of the 2008-09 season so there wouldn't otherwise be a major change in the current liability to Nesterovic.
Supposedly Thomas was interested in Radoslav, at least earlier this year.
Pop don't like Malik.. end of story...
It's not going to happen.
Holt Cat didn't like Rose's contract. If the Spurs could get under the lux tax threshold with such a swap don't be surprised if it goes down.
The Spurs got what they wanted by taking one long term guaranteed deal off the books with the Rose for Mohammed deal.
lol who said that? Pop had a problem with Malik. He didn't like the communication. Had nothing to do with Holt other than him getting input from Pop. I have it from a very good source that Pop wanted Malik gone.. the contract was not an issue.
It's always been a love-hate relationship.
Yes, that contract was the issue. Pretty much every Ludden article about the situation from the start of the 2003-04 season made that quite clear.
Malik salary is bigger than Rasho ($7M agaist $6.7M), you should add $1M in trade kicker to his salary.Quote:

No, Trade kicker doesn't work like this.Quote:

Malik will receive $6M this year but his salary will be fixed at $7M for Tax computing.
Trading for Malik won't help Spurs to go under the Tax and won't help them to repeat.
Problem solved, this trade make no sense.

That Malik for Nazr trade looks pretty good right now...
I actually believe the same. The Spurs are a financially conservative team, and Luis's Price is not exactly appealing. Javtoskas actually intrigues me the most.Quote:
