France is.
Euros, Splitter
equals
Let's bring back the Euros.
A small french kid, for example.
Whose salary is dangerously close to what a relatively unknown serbian will be making for playing for Pana next year.
Did that Serbian receive a $60 mil guaranteed contract? Does he stand to receive an even larger guaranteed deal in 2011?
I never said what you inserted in my quote, and if your reading comprehension was anything above 2nd grade you would have understood that my point was it cuts both ways.
You have an opinion state it, don't put words in my mouth by misquoting me.
It's your time Ian!!!
Did anybody ever dream of coming close to being offered such a thing (6 M EUROS) even two years ago?
As for the multi-years guaranteed contracts, I am totally against them, if you ask me. They lead to distortions such as Marburys and the likes.
It doesn't matter if you are for or against, as they are standard fare in the NBA. It also doesn't matter that much if a player in Europe gets a certain salary for a couple of seasons.
The main advantage the European leagues currently hold is that they can offer contracts greater than the NBA rookie scale for low 1st round picks.
I did not misquote. I INSERTED my comment.I never said what you inserted in my quote, and if your reading comprehension was anything above 2nd grade you would have understood that my point was it cuts both ways.

Keep you finger in your pocket.
I know nothing about the guy but before you offer him a job, does he speak English?
For as long as four years, apparently...
So it does matter if a player gets a certain salary for four years in Europe.
Most Euro coaches coach in English.
And yes, he does.
One word

I think it's humorous how so many posters think the Spurs are supposed to find multiple starters/rotation players/draft steals with nothing but a bunch of second round picks.
Supposed to = have to
I doubt many people actually expect them to pull rabbits out of a hat.
This was a despressing thread to read through.
It pisses me off but I don't blame Splitter at all.
I hope the Spurs learned their lesson this time.
You must not have been reading this thread...much less your own posts.
Aggie thinks our FO should find a Gilbert Arenas or Boozer each year with our 2nd round picks.
The Spurs hit paydirt several times with Ginobili, Parker, and (yes) Scola, but that was awhile back.
Let's hope for a more productive draft and FA period this time around.
Read all my posts. Celebrate my entire catalogue.
I've not said they can hit home runs. I've said they're pretty close to having to. The post saying the 30-40 picks are fairly close to the 20-30 picks is a reasonable analysis, not fancydancing.
I don't think anybody is in the mood for thinking Buford is capable of picking good players, especially in the 2nd round.
It's official now :

Uh, that's pretty dumb. He might blow his knee next season and not get practically anything in comparison if he had signed with the Spurs.
Yeah, except for the fact Carl Landry was taken with the first pick of the second round last year. It sure would have sucked having him on our squad this season, let alone those to come...
You must have not been reading this thread... much less my posts.
We didn't have to find a Boozer or Arenas, we had Luis freakin' Scola and his draft rights sitting in our lap last summer, and the Spurs traded him away so Peter Holt could clear another 3-4 million profit.
And now the Spurs are ed for the conceivable future in the low post next to Tim Duncan because of it.
You're right, the Spurs front office deserves no criticism at all. Stupid me.
It's amazing that I should accept mediocre draft results for the past six years without ing about it, yet somehow drafting at largely the same positions in the last several drafts the Pistons have filled out their entire squad with rotation players.
Or howabout the Knicks? Let's see, with draft picks worse than ours, they have managed to draft:
Mardy Collins
David Lee
Trevor Ariza
in recent history.
The Spurs fell in love with the Euro draft and stash plan and never adapted to changing conditions, and it's bit them in the ass for two years running and now jeopardizes the Spurs winning another championship in the remainder of the Tim Duncan era.
Yet, they should obviously get a free pass for their pathetic draft results the last 7 years.
I don't have to read your posts or this thread to find out anymore information about Scola. There's already a thread dedicated to ing and moaning about his loss.
They were also the first team to find Udoka. Also Nate Robinson was a late pick. I don't like the twerp but he's better than our twerps.
Sign Isiah as a draft associate. He hates Euros and white people, so just take his black people ideas.
