yall know how tmmy gave drob a championship in his final year, yall think blair can do the same for tim?
The team falling apart was more Lebron quitting than Shaq IMO.
TIMVP is a closet laker fan.
Even has the jersey to prove it......
In the playoffs, it had to do with Mr. West goin' South with Mrs. James.
But they're were some issues during the regualr season and during the playoffs with the way Brown was playing Shaq -- especially after returning from injury -- and how it took away from Hickson's time and their best lineup, which was a much quicker and athletic group.
I don't think it's a malicious thing on Shaq's part, I just think it's a product of greatness no longer being great combined with a presence and bigger-than-life persona that doesn't allow those around him to treat him as the player he actually is these days.
Great teams and players don't usually go out all that well. It just doesn't happen often as it's a long fall from the top -- that's why David's final year was all the more special.
Shaq has always been a team guy, i think big ego or not, as long as he understood what Pop and the spurs want out of him, he'll be great to have. Pops is a straight arrow guy, hes not gonna guarantee shaq anything. So if Shaq is willing to sign with us for the minimum I dont see how that could hurt.
As long as Splitter comes too.. then yeah!
Hey if Kevin Willis wants to come back I'm all for it. Sure he was only getting 3 to 5 minutes every other game but the dude stayed in shape and would fight for everything, wore kneepads to keep himself from shattering diving for loose balls, and when he fought for position the other guy knew it b way of a bone elbow.
The article mentioned Shaq for the MLE, not for the LLE or for the min.
Shaq for the MLE would mean no Splitter. Do people really want that? And even if Spurs can't get Splitter, there are better options than Shaq for the MLE.
Doubtfull the Spurs would give him the MLE.
Spurs > Hawks
At first I was kind of questioning whether there was any truth to the source, after reading it again, Shaq wants the MLE + more if possible. He probably wont be coming here.
shaq is short on cash since losing 50% lol
anyway how much money does he really need? he already has enough that would last for a few generations
I would definitely love it if he joined for the LLE. A cool, huge guy who is fun to have around, a mentor for many. He would be great in the case that Splitter doesn't join, but it would be much better for him to teach Splitter and for Splitter to practice against him.
He may want MLE, but i think that he may accept LLE to be in a contender like Spurs instead of playing Atlanta for MLE.
LLE is around 2M and MLE 5,8M. I don't think that he would create problem for 3.8M, he earned 21M last year. I think We may convince him to sign MLE for next year and tell him to play LLE for this year.
no way he touches any of that mle unless splitter screws sa if not he can have atlanta
No way any team gives him MLE or half MLE or any cap space.
No freaking way...
Oh he wants the MLE? that
Splitter, what's up?

o Mr. EricB....just wanted to know if you ever divulged your info on the player who the spurs were targeting with LLE, or had an agreement with...and if not, is it safe to say yet??? Just asking...
Tell Shaq that Kobe has more rings than him. He'll come for the LLE.

No I haven't because I've been busy and my buddy has literally been tough to get a hold of. We only talk in bits right now, understandable, things this time of year are always loco in that place.
I thought it was a great idea to sign Shaq with the LLE....but now thinking he might be a little too old....he already seems to be losing it a bit because he must clearly be a little delusional thinking he can still get the full or most of the MLE.....just saying...
[QUOTE=EricB;4482492]Cool.....well as far as i remember, u know who it is, can you at least say if u think its a good signing or not for the LLE..???
[quote=Stefan.2789;4482495]
Depends on if
A that person signs for it
B if the said person then performs
