Jerk? You're being a hiding behind the skirt of the search function.
Show me how you get to $20 million in lux tax penalty. $68 million lux tax cap....
Spurs salaries this year: $70 million
Subtract Spanoulis (-1.9 million) = ~68 million
Add Butler: + 2.3 million
Add Scola: +2.9 million
= 73.2 million, approximately 5 million in luxury tax penalty.
Subtract Bonner (-2.7 million)
= 70.5 million, 2.5 million in luxury tax penalty (about $500K more than what they ended up paying this year)
Show me your $20 million. , show me a post with Chump or Bruno or whoever getting to $20 million.
Or you STFU.
Quit trying to change the topic.
Show me $20 million in luxury tax penalties for signing Scola this year, or take back your drama queen bull about not having an owner who could afford such a move.
Splitter: "I have one more year in Tau. I just want to win the ACB championship and do well in Euroleague."
"I just have to work on my game. That's the only way to get through the year." ... sounded like he was headed to prison for a year.
And then he wins the ACB championship and his one more year becomes five more years. Fantastic.
Thanks![]()
It took me about three minutes to figure out what the you were talking about. I kept going "he didn't say anything about his defense" . . .![]()
RC is just over his head. No shame in it because the job is hard, but don't compound it by being stubborn and sticking around. RC should immediately step down.
dude is getting bank and you guys are pissed. RC is gambling to much on these got damn foreigners, it's time to get some home grown talent and quit ing around.
You should have fired up the video. Not sure how else to describe the first 20 seconds. It was like RC was introducing LeBron James to the Spurs.
Oh, I did watch about the first 90 seconds.
Another thing about RC: the man doesn't blink. That's not right.
it's ruin our plan, we want to improve this summer in the bigs and in the wings, our plan was that the bigs improvment will came from Splitter and we use the draft to improve in the wings, now it's complicate our plan, there is not good bigs in the FA that we can brings.
my plan was to get Splitter, and to take Rush in the draft, now my plan have to change - maybe to sign J.R Smith ant to take big in the draft, i dont know ,we are in a mess.
this is make me a very pessimistic about next season!!!

Spurs should put all of their eggs in Maggette
Obviously, your plane crashed! lol
I didn't blame Splitter for deciding that the Spain was the best choice for him, I blame him for not having weighed his options before the draft.
You can't take the draft process lightly and just say "playing in NBA is my dream, draft me".
While I'm not sure that I would have picked the "1/8th the money, out of your comfort zone and away from your family" job; I'm sure that I wouldn't have asked my future employers to spend $3M to prepare my coming without being almost sure to go there.
Exactly.
It will get tougher and tougher to take players away from Europe.
I predicted some time ago that Europe will be growing fast and NBA won't be a priority in many players minds.
In90s it was a dream getting to NBA, in '00 it's a great accomplishment and oppurtunity to show yourself play in best compe ion in 10s it will probably be NBA is real good and stuff but I prefer to stay over here and in 20s we will be talking about equal leauges in value ...
Trading Tiago for 2 draft picks doesn't sound so bad now does it?![]()
We don't need any more picks, so it does sound bad.
If you're going to argue a point, don't be a and tell someone to search and prove your point. You argue your point, prove it don't wait and hug someone elses nuts and wait for them to save you.
You always cry when you're getting insulted but it never fails that you always insult more than being insulted.![]()
good for Splitter. He just made the move before drafting time.
Memo to teams who want to draft International players esp from this Tau team : think twice
I hope this finally stops the Spurs from always going international. If they have a contract just stay away. He's praying Ian comes through.
the spurs need to bring in some real ass motha ers...
young, tatted up, thugged out tru to the game BALLERS.
your homegrown, team, friendly ass bull .
get some s in here that will win games.
Can't wait to see Splitter in a Rockets Uniform! Thank you Spurs
