Yahoo: Spurs Make Offer to Josh Howard

[FkLA]

Jesus, you contradict yourself.

Bottom line, the Spurs have been a consistent winner with a consistent and set roster since 2003.

Dallas hasn't been a FA "hot spot" either, they've relied on drafts and trades not being players in free agency.

Stop reading so much into things.

How am I contradicting myself? Ive pretty much been saying the same thing in all my posts in this thread. Dallas is much more attractive than San Antonio to NBA players btw, their problem had always been an inept FO and a bloated payroll more than anything.

LOL ok man. How ever you want to rationalize it with yourself. I'm also glad you seem to believe you have all the NBA players on your contact list.

Spurs FO have also been stashing alot of talent overseas. I am not sure you want to do that so much when you want to win now.

So you think if the Mavs wouldve had enough money coming off their books to sign a FA to a max contract after this le they just won, that they wouldnt land one? I dont need to have every single player on my contacts list to realize they probably wouldve landed someone. Something San Antonio wasnt able to do after 03'.

The 2003 FA field was weak to say the least and each big FA resigned for more money. Kidd resigned with a team that had just gone to the finals for more money. He had what he needed, money and a shot to win. That's all players want.

If you honestly believe there aren't a mul ude of reasons for why FA sign where they do then I'm done arguing with you because I'd have more luck getting through a brick wall.

Yeaa theres a mul ude of reasons, Im just saying all things being relatively equal (money, PT, etc)...the city will come into play and San Antonio doesnt seem to be highly thought of.

Spurs didnt just get turned down by Kidd and Oneal btw, even second-tier FAs looked elsewhere despite the Spurs having tons of cash to spend. Guys that werent necessarily coming from the best situations like Zo, Odom, Brand, B.Miller, etc.

How does the city of San Antonio and it's attractiveness to players even come up in a thread when the player chose Salt Lake City?

[underdawg]

well, I'm glad at least the FO failed on this guy in '08 and I remember a lot of folks on this board were sad when it fell through. There's my silver lining to the FO's inep ude.

[Obstructed_View]

The Spurs always seem to find free agent gems that are unexpected. Glenn Robinson comes to mind. Funny how we forget what a good addition he was to a championship team.

^whats that s name tbh? I cant stop staring at your sig.

Pretty apparent that players go for money and not cities.

Spurs have been cap strapped and rotation set for yes. Other teams not so much.

That is because the Spurs chose not to move any tradeable assets.
