... and what about small ball?
... and what about small ball?
yeah that was a mistake...but then again he could have went into the stands as a member of the Spurs :/
If we still had Jackson + Antonio Daniels, we'd be unstoppable
He would have given us headaches but nothing compared to the Hedo/Barry/Finley anxiety. The dude wanted to play for the Spurs, and he wasn't a geriatric veteran. Not making that happen still annoys me. We invested 2 years into him, got him to learn the system, and then let him walk.
If Spurs had given Jack the money he wanted how would they have resigned Manu?
sj>manu in game 1
Obviously not that much since he turned down the best offer on the market for him. That doesn't mean that he didn't do what was best for him just the same.
Bird Rights. There's a reason there are less than 10 teams under the salary cap in the NBA, its a soft cap.
Now, the ownership being cheap is something else all together
I was thinking this too after watching AD almost drop a triple double today.
This is such a red herring. We had Manu's bird rights. , Denver actually tried to give him more than he ended up signing for, and he stayed.
Buckets is stepping up hitting shots tonight in Dallas, and he's also checking some guy named Nowitzki at the defensive end and limiting him to 13 points with 7 to play (4-14 from the field now).
For another two million a year, I'd take him over Finley AND Barry.
ad could do that when he is the main and only option on a team
Spurs didn't have full Bird's rights.
They obviously didn't need them either given the market and the 'interest' of others.
Damn, Buckets just dropped another three on Dallas to push out their lead. Oh well, we've got Finley and Barry to lead us to the promised land.
Sjax is playing well rebounding and shooting three's! We must not forget that Sjax was part of winning our Championship! I really miss him because he's athletic and can shoot the 3! Probably woudn't have gotten into trouble if he stayed here!
time to trade manu for sj
I wish we had him. He's just what this team needs, but hey, getting under the luxury tax and running bargain budget teams is what really matters.
sj went to the hawks for peanuts when to pacers and got traded from that because pacers could not wait to get rid of him
he is helping them now because he has playoff experience
sj this year did not shot that well
he has played well though as a gs
Sj would have never gone to the Hawks for one year if we had just given him a better deal. But Holt Cat gets a few million more in the bank and we get to watch Barry choke in the playoffs for the same price.
This past Saturday, ESPN Classic reran the 2003 quarterfinal matchup between Spurs & Suns. It was good to see a lineup of SJax, Ginobili, Parker, Robinson and Duncan during the late stages of the game. SJax was clutch in that game (8-8 FTs, 19 points).
Even during that 2003 season, the announcer cited at least 3-4 games where SJax hit either game-winners or game-tying baskets. Yes, I miss him too.
At least SJax helped keep Mav Fan from posting in here for one night.
this is the same guy that had in his sig a picture of Barry.
and it said
LET HIM PLAY
I was sad when Jax left but we still won a championship without him. I have fond memories of 03 Game 6 in both the WCF and the Finals.
You're about as right about this one as you are about small ball. With no comfort room and only an MLE to offer Spurs would have teams going hard after Manu.
