A lot of posters here are going to eat crow at the end of the season.
It actually does satisfy the provisions of the CBA. It does not, however, satisfy the provisions of common sense for Toronto

demarcus ware is a beast at defensive end
good post. The defense in the paint needs an upgrade. That 99 team was the best defensive team the spurs had. Shaq even said if was not fair that the spurs had two dominant post players. Thats why the spurs need to get a player like Camby before the trade deadline.
Unfortunately the other side of that is that the league has changed somewhat. The PF on several teams can consistently shoot the midrange jumper. Better yet they prefer it. And they like to drive to the basket as well. Dirk/West/Green/Murphy/Odom/Lewis are all capable of doing it. Therefore Duncan, as much as he likes to be called a PF is no match defensively for these guys. In 99 and even 03 he could step out and move his feet. Now he has a bad knee and struggles on occasion to play his own man in the post. Duncan is going to play Center regardless of what he says. The Center anchors the defense, which is something TD is still good at. What we need is a F/C that is tall, can block shots and move his feet. That way Tim can protect the paint while these agile PF in the league can be played by 1 man instead of tons of double teams that breakdown your entire defensive scheme. Who can do all that? Birdman(Nuggets) Camby(Clippers-possibly, im not sure about his mobility) Bargnani(Raptors-its possible, but his at ude toward the defensive end is????)After that im not to sure there are many other guys that have the ability to play 1on1 defense against the likes of an agile Perimeter PF. Dice did a solid job on Dirk, we need to see how he does against the other PF's mentioned though. All the guys I mentioned have a different/similiar type game. So the Jury is still out on Dice' defense against these guys.
I have been a long time spurs fan. the ping pong gods have been good to us. enjoy every ing single minute while u can.
Oh I am. The most for me is 2 per season. I've been to 3 games this season more than I have in any previous season, and its only November. I intend to go to many more this season. Holt dug deep in his texas size wallet and paid texas size $$$$ to get a contending team. We owe it to him to make the last years of TD's career something that didnt go by without notice. Wouldnt you say?
I'm not seeing anything the Spurs or anyone else can do to counter the Lakers Kobe + Twin 7fters juggernaut. And with Bynum averaging nearly 20 and 12 and if Gasol is able to return to form, we might be looking at Kobe + Twin ALL STAR 7fters juggernaut.
That's going to be damn near unbeatable in the PO.
IMO, the story is less about the Spurs decline but the wildly improbable Gasol trade that changed NBA history.
lol just go out and resign Bruce Bowen and Horry.
Not so funny when there are enough people in here who would want that to happen.
As far as Toronto...maybe not. But where did you find that the provisions were satisfied in that scenario? I did a quick check in realgm and it said it didn't. Not that realgm is the most accurate source.

I check these trades with ESPN's Trade Machine, but I must have entered the trade incorrectly. Just checked again and the trade does indeed fail.
Kinda strange. I tried it. And it says the trade is successful.

Just like every other year... the Spurs will be there in the playoff race. You can jump back on the wagon anytime you want. There are two things you have to remember about the Spurs. No matter how they start, they finish strong. No matter who is injured, someone will step up in their place. Just like the Mavs, you will see the Spurs in the playoff race.
The Spurs defense has been steadily improving. I realize the sample size is small, but over the last five games the Spurs have the 4th best points allowed in the league and the best opponent's field goal percentage at .402. It has been the offense that has been an issue. I am confident that the offense will come around. This is the beginning of the journey. Some of you guys aren't happy unless you are complaining. You will make some lucky guy a good wife someday.
Which is todays excuse? Spurs are totally healthy. This is all over my friends. Rude awakening: this season is real LAST shot but 2007 was the last chip !!! Sad but true
Time to enjoy the Spurs championship box set...nothing to look forward to until we get another #1 overall pick.
Spurs are ing boring.... Even more so than their regular boring selves.
Along with this new boring, is a ing pathetic and old ass performance of the same .
Chucking three's
No defense
Terrible defense
Chucking three's
