Don't worry, Mitch Kupchak is going to make it right by sending them Chris Mihm for Hakim Warrick this summer!
WHEN ARE WE ING GOING TO BE DONE TALKING ABOUT THIS.
It was a good trade for Memphis. They were able to free their entire franchise to rebuild around a great SG and PG. You have to give to get. They basically moved this guy for whoever it is that they pick up in FA this year or next so you don't really truely know what the full value of the trade is.
You people have this unbelievable ability to not see the forrest from the trees.

Getting chippy when your boy Bushie gets a chuck?
I've never uttered one bad word about former Fakers and Grizz GM, Jerry West, but I will now.
Even though his hand-picked successor, Chris Wallace, pulled the trigger on this deal to send Gasol to the Fakers, I have no doubt that West brokered the deal. Based upon his lingering connections with the organization and with Kobe, how could he not be culpable. After all, it was Koke who was clamoring last summer to have West rejoin the Fakers organization. West is an unethical punk-ass for having orchestrated this fire sale.
Of course he'd question the trade now that Pau is in the Finals.
There was no conspiracy, West had nothing to do with it, and my Spurs brothers who keep saying otherwise are clowning themselves.
Here's a great picture of Jerry and Bootsy:
“Is anybody jumping on Bufford in San Antonio because he traded that center to Houston for virtually nothing?” Heisley wondered.
....Fixed.
Yeah and yall are also getting Artest, Baron Davis and everyone else yall cant afford
Not to defend that trade in the slightest - but we shopped Scola for 2 years and couldn't get anybody to offer anything of remote value in exchange for him.
Who pulled the trigger on the trade? You or Pop?
Just like Memphis shopped Gasol for 2 years
Can't afford? Please. Jerry Buss wipes the off his hookers with Benjamin Franklin's face.
That is what the Spurs have always tried to make people believe. Just like they originally said Scola could never play with Tim. The summer of 2006 the Spurs negotiated with Scola but his buy out was still too large. So to say the Spurs shopped him for two years...I do not buy it. Bufford may have briefly shopped him last summer before making that horrific trade with the Rockets.
David Stern happened in this trade
You can believe whatever you want regarding how the Spurs dealt with Scola personally...
there were many rumors on this board that they were looking to move Scola as early as the 2006 draft, but couldn't get anybody to pony up a 1st or even an early 2nd round pick for him.
but from the franchise's standpoint - do you REALLY think that they would have taken that deal if it wasn't the best one available to them? the Spurs came out looking terrible in that deal - no doubt. But obviously nobody else saw his game translating this well to the NBA either, otherwise those teams would have easily trumped the Rockets offer.
Yeah!!! The cap doesnt matter spursfan!!!
Memphis still had weeks until the trading deadline. There was no reason to push the panic button.
At best, it's just complete idiocy by Wallace.
Please. I remember when they waived Brian Shaw midseason so they could force him to re-sign for the minimum.
Every owner has his limit.
Well our owner is much richer than yalls so we can get anybody
Not anybody.
Lame attempt at a forum run, BTW.
name 1 player we couldnt get if we wanted
I think they solely made that deal to dump Jackie Butler and his contract. And to do so, they had to sweeten the deal with Scola. They had just drafted Splitter thinking he would fill Scola's spot.
The first mistake was Pop EVER listening to that worm Larry Brown who praised and recommneded Butler. Ironic that Butler made less money that what we signed Matt Bonner to.
Hey, Pop was also mad we gave away Scola to Houston. It is clear he also thinks Bufford ed up royally...which he did.
Tim Duncan.
first of all we wouldnt want him.
second, im sure if he were a FA he would choose LA because we just shut his team down...
He has been a free agent twice.
Lakers didn't get him.
