Lakers: 91+ million.
Spurs: 66+ million.
Laker s should thank God (as well as the Memphis Grizzlies, but that's another thread), that the Spurs don't spend, and have never spent, like the Lakers. If they did, the first 3 peat never happens, nor does this recent repeat.
Happy to have a better owner, is all.
If you're trying to prove a point, you're not really doing a good job.
if the spurs were LA, we would have 'traded' ime udoka for dwayne wade back in 2008.
Lakers can afford it because they have a lot of bandwagon fans.
The real problem is the su ious gasol trade though.
We would also have players like barnes coming in on the cheap.
actually lakers payroll adds up to 120mil with the luxury tax....
Pulp trying too hard yet again.
True. Holt's frugality is irritating, but you also have to understand that every owner's goal, even that decrepit in LA, is to make money. Cuban might be the exception, but even he likes to stay near the luxury tax threshold.
Also, Buss can afford to be more flexible with payroll, because when you're in the second largest media market, you basically have a guaranteed revenue stream.
tee, hee
Meh, Buss is part of the Lakers franchise, obviously, so he deserves credit for spending, it's his team..
This is more of a testament to Tim Duncan's career, tbh..
but the blank check leads to dumbass signings like sasha and luke. Lakers would still be ty if the logo didn't bail them out.
They had to resign to stay under the tax, how does that go against my point?
My op does have some butthurt in it. I feel the Spurs should have a couple of more les in this era, mainly the 2004 season when the Lakers reloaded with those ring chasing assholes, Malone and Payton, and the Spurs answered by signing Hedo Turkeyglue and Ron Mercer, the former essentially the reason the Spurs lost to LA in the semis. I know the Spurs went after Malone, but I forget the specifics of why he chose LA over the Spurs.
The Spurs had to reload and retool through the draft and make savvy veteran signings on the cheap, because they could never land that big free agent, so I can't help but think "what if" if the Spurs spent a little more during their salad days.
he and bonner are still getting major PT as opposed to luke and sasha who were signings.
Also who the has mitch drafted in the second round that has stayed for the lakers?
Duncan's natural position is a PF. So I don't get what you're saying (actually I do, but your snide insult has no basis in reality because Duncan has no problem playing PF or Center, as he has proven throughout the years).
I can't stand Bonner. I hate stretch 4s in general. They don't win you playoff games, but is playing fine this year, totally worth 8 mil to have a guy who's averaging 14 on 49% shooting and is a threat to go off for 20 any given night.
It put as much credence in what you say as what they do.
He still kept their ty asses, though, which was nise after those career contract years. I'm sure all us(Laker fans) would have thrown a fit that he didn't re-sign them.
I'd more worried of Bynum's knees if I were you. Those things can explode anytime.
Maybe. But the Spurs are pretty deep offensively, so if he goes limp, there's plenty of other players who can potentially step up. You should know how that works. Kobe goes limp all the time, like 6-24 limp, but luckily other guys sack up and rise to the occasion.
Bonner was actually the tallest player on the court during one part of the game today hahaha that was small ball on roids. Denver is a really short team too so Im surprised they didnt run the ball more. Those suckers always run like crazy Vs LA
