The Spurs had to make this trade to get SpurGal out of Malik's 500 mile restricted area.
Malik probably has mixed emotions.
Sure he'll get more PT and less Pop. But it ain't like he's in line to be the next Jermaine O'Neal. He also knows he's going from the favorites for the NBA crown to a situation where it would take a miracle to make the playoffs.
And he's leaving his family behind.
On the whole, I bet he'd rather stay.

Man...Am I glad you are NOT the spurs GM.
We would still be playing Vinny and Avery with you around.
Well, there you go!
I can understand why some are upset I would have been upset if spurs got webber abd david walked
but it would have been better for the spurs in the long run
Gawd, some Spurs fans are such whiny es. They're only the overwhelming favorites to win the NBA championship and they're ing about some undersized reserve forward getting traded. Waah, waah, waah, the Spurs are different blah blah blah like they're all about hokum Mayberry small-town values or some bull .
Yeah, well that small-town farmboy team is the one that goes 1-29 against the city kids and just says aw shucks. Turn off the goddamned NBA and start watching Andy Griffith reruns or something and let the rest of us focus on things that matter.
Yeah the Spurs are so ing disloyal because they signed Malik to $42 million in guaranteed money. Oh, no, he got traded, but guess what -- he still gets all that cash no matter where he plays. Hey, I'll take one-fourtieth of that contract to go live in New York for a few years. Damn.
I wasn't aware the Spurs were a church league team. I thought they played in the National Basketball Association, which is a business of professionals.
Some of you have the most bull priorities with regard to the Spurs.
wont this trade allow the spurs to resign devin brown?? im not positive... but if it does, its even sweeter
7 years, 42 million sitting in a chair 80% of the time. You think that is good?
You my friend are blinded by your black and silver sunglasses.
Late.
[QUOTE=td4mvp21] Dumb move. At least get someone a with more experience.QUOTE]
More experience??? I don't think your brain and fingers were on the same page when you typed that idiotic remark.
It doesn't affect that at all. The Spurs didn't have cap space for the upcoming summer before the trade and they still don't have cap space.wont this trade allow the spurs to resign devin brown?? im not positive... but if it does, its even sweeter
They have the MLE to sign Scola (or whoever).
And they have Devin's early bird's rights to sign him.
Now you've done did it ass hole, first off the fact that I have loyalty to a team and a player who has been with a team for a long ing time is nothing to mock, nor piss at. Second, give me one god damn reason that Nazr will be more effective than Rose in the Western confrernece, third you can STFU you arrogant prick because you aren't a basketball expert and this team has been marketing itself as a team with character since before your useless mind came into being, so i have every right as a fan to be upset that they would conduct a "buisness" arangement i consider unclassy.
Now as for you telling me that my being upset that one of my favorite players ever was just dumped from my favorite team is the equivelent of some red-neck complacency, or ass tendencies are enough to make you sound not only like a prick but a very stupid one to. Next time when you feel like sticking your up your ass, dont do it in my direction!
STFU ASS HOLE!!!!!
Wasn't Tim courting Jason Kidd about a 1 1/2 years ago? I'm sure that Parker felt a little left out of that one.C. Because I know that Tim knows that Malik wants to stay here and I can not imagine him turning his back on his friend, I would never do something like that, and you would be hard pressed to find someone outside of perhaps youself that would.
wow there is so much anger these days.
You know I do not remember this much passion about sean elliot getting traded back in the 90's for Rodman. He was a much better player than Malik. Everyone just needs to relax. The trade is done, it was done correctly and nothing is going to change that. Start supporting the new guy and hope Malik does well.
Nazr Mohammed won countless character awards in Atlanta and New York.
When I say peanut head, I mean by basketball wise.
BTW, trading a guy isn't backstabbing grow up people.
Huh? Malik admitted himself that he dogged it last year just to irritate Pop.A. when a guy does his best for you for 8 years and never causes problems, you don't dump him just to cut salary.
Stop the cannonization drive. He was a nice guy who had a good run here, but frankly, the spurs picked him up off of the scrapheap and gave him the chance to earn that contract. It's not like he was cut and won't get paid!
Has anyone checked on Spursgal today?
RtD,
Malik isn't dead. He's just playing somewhere else. I don't get the hatred and character issues. Malik has been on the trading block for at least a year, maybe even longer. He might have been the least surprised person in the organization regarding this deal.
KSAT showed a recent interview with him on the 5 o'clock where he said ON TAPE that he wouldn't be surprised if he was traded and understands that this is a business.
I'm sure he knew this day was coming.
Yeah it is. Loyalty in a pro sport with guaranteed contracts is bull . You act like he's going to end up living in a cardboard box or something. Dude still has a $42 million contract in his pocket.
The Spurs swapped a reserve forward who saw spotty playing time for another one who'll see spotty playing but is four inches taller. BFD. It's only a big deal because fans have this emotional attachment to Malik for the blue-collar work ethic he once had.Second, give me one god damn reason that Nazr will be more effective than Rose in the Western confrernece
David Robinson retired. The Spurs are just a basketball team. There is a difference between conducting the organization professionally and being a goddamned monastery. The Spurs are "classy" because their players don't get arrested or otherwise cause trouble. That's it. If you're so ing upset, then I don't want to see your rah-rah bull when they go 67-15 and collect another ring. I can just see the asterisk now:third you can STFU you arrogant prick because you aren't a basketball expert and this team has been marketing itself as a team with character since before your useless mind came into being, so i have every right as a fan to be upset that they would conduct a "buisness" arangement i consider unclassy.
San Antonio Spurs -- 2004-05 NBA Champions*
*Certain so-called "fans" who are ridiculously spoiled by an organization that has given them more wins and championships than most sports fans will ever see in their entire lives discount this le because they traded a long-tenured tough 6'6" reserve forward in February.
Getting bent out of shape and accusing the organization of classlessness because they traded a long-tenured complementary player with a big contract indeed does mean you are a ass. Absolutely. You are the epitome of ass. You're ing spoiled and don't deserve to get to root for the Spurs.Now as for you telling me that my being upset that one of my favorite players ever was just dumped from my favorite team is the equivelent of some red-neck complacency, or ass tendencies are enough to make you sound not only like a prick but a very stupid one to.
I don't know whether you have redneck complacency, but you're pretty naive. Players, even popular ones, get traded. In a few years, only the same dip s who still are pissed about the Bob Hill firing will give a . Malik and his millions in the bank will be just fine.
P.S. Thanks Malik. You were cool.
^^^ Agree 100% except for I think Mohammed will be more effective than people think.
Im spoiled because I like a player on my favorite team and don't want to see him get traded? I'm a ass because I dont want to see him go?
No you're the ing loser for thinking you have the right to mock my reaction to a team I root for. That's what fans do, we're not buisness men, we don't run teams, we support them and root for them, and we get emotional about them. Without us "whiny ass" fans there would be no god damn team here. WTF do you think you are dip ? You're no one special trying to run me down for my indignation, if you think it's stupid, stfu and ignore the tread, you don't have anything valuble to add anyway.
Get a life asshole
RtD you are making an ass of yourself.
A. Malik admitted not tring last season so obviously he didn't "do his best for you"A. when a guy does his best for you for 8 years and never causes problems, you don't dump him just to cut salary.
B. I don't but I know Malik is and we just lost him
C. Because I know that Tim knows that Malik wants to stay here and I can not imagine him turning his back on his friend, I would never do something like that, and you would be hard pressed to find someone outside of perhaps youself that would.
B. Nazr has many community awards, and you have no idea of his real character, nor Maliks, you knew Malik the pro basketball player and you will come to know Nazr the pro bball player. You dont know them.
C. Dont pretend you know what Tim thinks, he is a pro and has been through trades before. Don't forget he lost Drob to retirement, its a business it happens.
For s sake stop being so juvenile
Damn....
as for you xcoriate scroll up. Last sentence.
Man I cant believe this reaction, I loved Malik and his energy/hustle as much as the next guy, however hius time here was up. zgive Nazr a chance you may even come to like him and even at the end of the season "we better sign him to an extension... we'll never win the championship again without him".
