Reply With QuoteWho's to say GS wouldn't have upped their offer?I wonder if $4 million a year would've persuaded Speedy to sit.
GW, the Spurs tried to negotiate with Speedy, he insisted that he wanted to start.
Sincere good luck to him in Golden State.

I guess you guys did want Speedy back bad enough.
Money talks, Players walk.
Who's your super candidate to replace Claxton?
Question.
I understand the Spurs have talked to Armstrong, Boykins and are looking at some guys in summer league.Who's your super candidate to replace Claxton?
pub237.ezboard.com/ffulls...4234.topic
one that can hit the three and not be hurt all the time
Really Ghost, what part of "Speedy wanted to start" do you not understand?
I said Boykins can hit the three -- there are plenty of guys out there who can play 12mpg in the Spurs' offense.
You really think Speedy would've been happy with that role -- even at $4 million?
I'll answer "no" for you and save time.
Great. Now Ghost will about this day in and day out for the next year even though everyone and their mother knew that Claxton wanted to go to a team he could start on.
Speedy deserves to start. He's good enough. As for Boykins, I think he's worth whatever the Spurs could get him for. It would be hilarious to play him next to Tim though. (He's what, 5'5"?)
"Speedy wanted to start."
No sh1t, guys.
What was the Spurs highest offer for him to sit?
Question.
The only way I wanted to lose Claxton was if Kidd was coming. The way I heard it was Speedy had a price and the Spurs didn't want to pay it.
DRob + Claxton > Nesterrible + (Horry)
Therefore,
Spurs_2004 = Spurs_2003 - DRob - Claxton - 0 + Nesterrible + (Horry) < Spurs_2003
where 0 signifies the dead-weight of HITA
BTW, Lakers_2004 >> Lakers_2003
If what you heard came out of Modesto you can forget it. It wasn't the price it was the starting gig.
If Claxton wanted to start in GS for less, fine. More power to him.
If the Spurs are wooing Horry for $5 million and let Claxton walk without trying to up the ante, you all can kiss my pale white @ss.
This summer absolutely sucks.
It feels like we have no cap space!
Here we go. Yet another non-issue that Ghost is going to repeat again and again and again and again and.............
Prove that we offered Claxton more or kindly STFU.
Listen er, he wanted to start. End of story. You about other bench players and a big one year deal now you want to throw a ton of money at...a bench player.
Go figure.
Man I can't wait to see the "Claxton > Parker" threads now. Yeah.
Prove the Spurs didn't.
And prove it would've made any difference.
Is Chump speaking? I asked you first, b1tch.
I'd feel better if it was confirmed that Claxton took less money to start elsewhere.
Frankly, I think he would've accepted more money to backup Parker.
Then again, Claxton probably wanted to get the out of San Antonio.
Something that doesn't have to be proved is that it doesn't ing matter anymore.
He's gone.
I'll find out for you, GW.I'd feel better if it was confirmed that Claxton took less money to start elsewhere.
When Brand chose sign Miami's offer sheet instead of the Spurs, people were jumping off cliffs thinking the Spurs had backed off Brand or perhaps not offered him the max.
When I investigated, I was told that Brand chose Miami over SA because he was offered a shoe deal and other endorsements if he was in Miami.
The moral of my story is that sometimes things go on in the background that we don't know about it.
To appease your mind in the Speedy situation, I will ask what the cir stances were and report back to you.
Doesn't matter Kori the little doggie will still bark.
doesnt matter kori.
These dumb s will whine piss and all over the place for days over this.
Go **** yourself. Neither of us can prove anything. I'm telling you first.Is Chump speaking? I asked you first, b1tch.
We know it's all about how you feel....I'd feel better if it was confirmed that Claxton took less money to start elsewhere.
How much more, wad?Frankly, I think he would've accepted more money to backup Parker.
Then prove it.
I'm asking you first.
That's your MO, GhostWhiner. Find a point in the past that can't be proven either way, draw your own conclusion and repeat it on the board until you think you've convinced everyone it's a fact.
It doesn't play then and it doesn't play now.
the only thing that makes me mad is that we could have picked up his option for 1.5 last fall. where are all the need to have that extra 1.5M for signing a star FA people (GW this means you)?
go luck Speedy, on that team you are going to need it
Go Spurs...
Yeah, I was ambivalent when they didn't. I knew he would be great for us if he could stay healthy, but in Speedy's case, that's always a big if.the only thing that makes me mad is that we could have picked up his option for 1.5 last fall
However, what happened turned out being the best-case scenario for Speedy, if not for the Spurs. Since I like him, that's okay by me.
