Pretty pathetic that the Mavs and Rockets only goal is to with the Spurs since they can't be as successful.
and the 25th pick Houston drafted Nicholas Batum...

Nice find Captain ing Obvious
Well, it was Portland that ed with the Spurs. Maybe Batum will sign with Tau now.
what do you mean by again?
It does look like the Rockets creamed SA again. Batum seems like their target.
Dude, Batum was traded to Portland.
Who selected him, genius?
What does that have to do with the fact that Portland wanted him not the Rockets?
I think what's he's trying to say is that Rockets drafted him knowing that they could trade/keep him anyway they wanted and that would mean that the Spurs could not. Either way, no one will see him play for 3+ years I'd bet.
Are you seriously asking that question? Are you that stupid?
What's so hard to comprehend.
This wasn't a "let's keep this kid from the Spurs" pick, seriously, you honestly think the Rockets are childish and spiteful enough to not care about the own team, only blocking SA? Seriously, are you that stupid to think that?
It was a pre-arranged deal with Portland, the same way Barbosa was a pre-arranged deal with Phoenix.
And from all reports, the Spurs never even wanted Batum and were relieved when he was picked.

So good was Hill in Orlando that some in the Spurs' camp worried other teams might catch wind and steal him from out from under their noses.
“Nobody really knew who he was, and probably even now some people don't know who he is,” Popovich said. “A lot of people found out about him because of Orlando.”
When Houston took French forward Nicolas Batum at No. 25, there was much rejoicing in the Spurs' war room.
“I don't remember a draft since maybe Tony (in 2001) where we keyed in on a player or two, and they got there,” Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said.
I believe that Mr. Body's point is that without Houston's participation Portland doesn't get Batum.
Not that Houston is out to get the Spurs, but it's one of those little quirks in life where Houston once again has a role in affecting the Spurs and foreign players.
That's what he said.It does look like the Rockets creamed SA again. Batum seems like their target.
First off, if the Spurs didn't want him, there's no "creaming" taking place. Second, Batum is the target of who and what?
Batum wasn't the Spurs target or it wouldn't have been all over the press. The Spurs don't leak who they are targeting. They leak who they aren't targeting.
Then why the bizarre email sent round the league? Why hoarding the physical?
No, most evidence points to the Spurs targeting Batum.
When the evidence points to the Spurs' targeting Batum, that means the Spurs were definitely not targeting Batum.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of that evidence came from the Spurs. It got sniffed out by DX and others, then came the bizarre ass-covering email.
you were saying?
It all came out in the press.
Spurs information doesn't hit the press by accident.
it, Mr Body is all knowing so why question or dispute the man?
I seriously don't know. We tend to overrate the CIA Pop stuff on this board. There's a lot of spin in 'we've always lerved George Hill' phraseology in these articles.
Whatever.
