I mean, wow. Self-ownage in it's finest form. We can never take you seriously again. At least not until you get out of junior-high and take English 101.

What's funny is how bostonguy called this thread turning into an all-out flame fest on like page 2.
Well, you talk as if we're the defending champs...we're not.
And then you countered with false claims yourself didn't you ?
Anyways, I said my piece. I'm out.
Ok...I just got back home from a night out and I read that Pop's being a little regarding the Pau trade. What a ing little punk...hahahaha..... Serioulsy, he first calls the league office to get Kobe suspended on the hit on Manu and now makes this assinine comment....
Where the was Pop and his bull morals and integrity when the Lakers dealt Shaq to Miami, or when we traded Caron for Kwame....
This is far from the most obsene poor sport and sour grapes I have heard in like forever. Concentrate on your own team Pop and maybe just maybe you can beat the knicks in regulation. I'm choked, that a guy that I thought I respected comes up with the bull of all bull . I feel sad for you spurs fans......
Really?? Enlighten us on that rule, if you could please.
you....Phil Jackson has been taking shots at us for the better part of a decade now. Including accusing us of tanking...
Take your indignation, shove it up your ass, and then learn to speak ing English.
If that's true then yea, he was a lil' for doing that.
But I don't see what was so bad about what Pop said. He only said he couldn't comprehend it and thought it didn't make sense. Can you blame him ? I mean you gotta admit, it was a bit one-sided .
Shoot, if Phoenix or Spurs got Gasol, I'd be pissed off too. I'd wanna veto that also.
It's good that they're enraged. Just goes to show the Lakers are now more of a threat than before.
vetoing any trades....if a team wants to trade Kobe for a bag of balls and a food stamp, than so be it. There's a reason we have a salary cap and contracts must match. Pop didn't say he just couldn't comprehend it...he basically said if he was on a trade committee he wouldn't allow it. For that he's a . I don't give a anymore and I'm tired of sticking up for the Spurs and calling them classy and . that. Pop showed his true colours. He should just kept his mouth shut.
Collusion isn't fair to the rest of the league and teams engaging in it should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
I'm glad we can converse like this...I miss our little get togethers. Oh, and the discussion of tanking...who cares, spurs weren't the first and won't be the last. Where was Pop when Vince Carter was traded for nobody...didn't see him crying then and trying to organize a trade committee. You know why, because it didn't really affect him. This goes beyond the championship and who's the better team. I bet he's the first to call Stu Jackson and Stern when any problems arise....see Playoffs versus the Suns. Where was he spouting how unfair it was for the sun's players for getting suspended. Where was his intergrity there.....
Collusion eh.....where do you come off....was there collusion when Jabar was traded....or when Shaq signed with the Lakers.....or when the spurs were hadned the #1 pick.
Good luck trying to get a response to that allegation, i tried earlier, still waiting........................................... .........
So the lottery is fixed now, huh?
I already admitted that I had misread about that rule. I could have sworn they changed the percentages of the lottery in response to teams tanking after the Spurs got Duncan, but that happened a few years before Duncan got drafted. My mistake.
Medvedenko does have a point here. Where was Pop to cry foul at all the other ludicrous that has gone on in the NBA over the past couple of years? Only now that it directly affects his chances of winning a le does he give a . This isn't about integrity or stopping collusion, this is Pop pissed off that his chance to finally repeat might be squelched again by the Lakers.
It's about as plausible as some magical way the Laker got Pau....like Mitch pulled out his magic wand and got Gasol....why couldn't he get him last year and while he was at it get Lebron and Chris Paul for Smush Parker. You know Byron Scott is the coach of NOL ..... you guys are all defending Pop, however if any other coach said the same words you'd be all over him.
Yes...
Yes.......or when Shaq signed with the Lakers
.....or when the spurs were hadned the #1 pick.
Spurs weren't handed the #1 pick.
BTW...you also left out West and Kobe's under the table agreement that lead the Lakers aquiring him...
Jerry West is just about the dirtiest and most collusive GM in NBA history and he's all over small market franchises by financial stongarming and illegal contact with players, to the detriment of the NBA time and time again.
The Grizz probably hired the asswipe GM on West's reccomendation too...
And if you were on this trade committee, would you allow the Spurs to get Gasol for a bag of chips ? Would Phil ? Be honest now. It goes both ways.
Let's just be thankful this so-called trade committee doesn't exist.
I for one enjoy this griping of theirs. It just goes to show that they can say what they want, but deep down, they know we're back in contention.
The difference is Phil wouldn't whine about it to the media.
Raise your hand if you remember David Robinson sitting in the luxury box at the Forum in 1988...courtesy of Mr. Jerry West...
At least that time he wasn't doing anything illegal...those his intent to over a small martket franchise for the benefit of the shallow and self centered, plastic, team and fanbase that is LA was on clear display.
Luckily for us...David Robinson wasn't Jerry West's or LA's, kind of human being
Even if it did end up costing him his rightful place among the games greatest centers.
We were back prior to getting Gasol.....would I be upset... yeah, I was choked as Raptor fan when VC left and we got the Williams sisters...These deals get done every year. Is it fair...no, but it's no underhanded, collusion or a conspiracy as some people want to believe.
Gasol could have helped out Atlanta and they had some expiring contracts.
Washington and Golden State looks like they could have done a deal also.
The more I look at team salaries, the more I think Memphis could have received a better deal. At the very least, they could have received a high first round pick or a promising young player in return. Crittenton is under contract through 2008/2009. So they were willing to take on a contract for a so-called promising player.
Unless you have proof, I'll file this under "false accusation."
Dirtiest ? Most Collusive GM ? Unless you have proof, I'll file this under "false accusation."
Probably ? Probably ?!?!?
You lost all credibility due to your haterism.
