The Scola Trade is officially forgiven.
Richard Jefferson
Dejuan Blair
'Dice
And some potential in Hairston and Haislip.
Not a bad summer for the much maligned GM...
The Scola Trade is officially forgiven.
I suppose, but I will fully pardon him once Splitter is wrecking up next year.
We can all give RC, Pop and Holt some love by purchasing tickets and selling out games. They stepped up. So now it's our turn as fans.
Don't forget "Lights Out" Jack Mc Clinton..
I think you meant Show Peter Holt some love. Without him and his investors, none of this would be possible.
So thank you Peter Holt.
Go RC!
you sir are a ing genius.
I can give some love to whoever you want after this damn awesome offseason.
Um . . . I'm not trying to be negative, but I still have yet to see any official/credible news article that we have actually signed McDyess.
Holt told him to go spend. R.C.'s the guy who pulled all the strings and remade this team.
We just went from a starting five of Parker, Mason/Manu, Finley, Bonner, Duncan to
Parker, Manu?, Jefferson, Dice, Duncan.
The smartest thing RC did was have Oberto and Bowen sign non-guaranteed deals back in the summer of 2007. Those deals led directly to Richard Jefferson. Getting Richard Jefferson allowed the Spurs to spend all their money on a big ... thus being able to land McDyess.
So RC's forethought played a huge part in this offseason.
Monroe.
Antonio McDyess accepts Spurs' offer

True dat.
.....No it's not.
I hope the rest of Spurs Nation agrees with you.
Anyway, big props to R.C.. Keep up the good work and fill out the roster in the best way possible.
+1000
Holt and co stepped to the plate with basses loaded, down 3 runs in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, and belted one SO HIGH, AND SO LONG, that it STILL HASN'T LANDED!!!
The Spurs FO deserves every bit of respect it gets, and more!!!
Great job R.C
Good point to LJ on the foresight of R.C. for those partially guaranteed last years...
And it was brilliant to get our marque guy this summer with a reasonable contract rather than get into a feeding fenzy on contracts next summer trying to entice a big name player to come to SA.
He definitely deserves a reach-around
The moves themselves are great, but the insanely-practical and apparently-prescient recognition that any plan to use capspace in 2010 was ultimately futile has been huge. With the projections about future caps going down, had the Spurs waited around and stuck to such a plan (to the extent that it ever existed) the already substantial problems attracting FA to SA would have been even bigger. By immediately using assets that would have later created capspace, the Spurs were ahead of the curve and got a gigantic bargain. And getting Jefferson surely helped to convince McDyess that coming to SA was a fruitful choice. Adding Blair AND the player they had targeted at 37 is just icing on the cake.
I maintain that McDyess might not be as talented or flashy as Rasheed Wallace, but in the ways that the Spurs need it, McDyess looks to be the more productive player and the better fit.
The summer had been a home run, but I think it's reaching grand slam proportions now.
You guys better get your asses in some seats so the Spurs can pay that luxury tax.
So far this has been a great offseason, Now let the games begin!! I cant wait.....
