This is a very good point. People who still call the Spurs style boring are retaining images of the pre-Parker years.Quote:

The biggest mistake of that offseason was not the Jason Kidd thing but they actually had a much better chance of going after Gary Payton and Karl Malone who both went to the Lakers. Had San Antonio went after them they still could have resigned parker and Manu while ensuring that San Antonio would have had a 3 peat in both 2k4 and 2k5.
Agreed. I think the bottomline was that the FOs didn't value our future backcourt all that high that summer, and thought that Kidd-Duncan duo would have been the sure formula for greatness.Quote:

Amen to that!Quote:

Hmmm...how about not drafting Josh Howard? Or not signing PJ Brown, Elton Brand, or Arenas?Quote:
