I'm still in disbelieve that we're paying a 39 year old injury proned turnover machine $14 million. Is this really happening?
Assuming your calculation is based on avoiding luxury tax. Boban was worth a little bit of luxury tax. Spurs cheaped out. And Boban's contract would've been great for year two, which is realistically what the Spurs should be shooting for in a mini rebuild.
Back pay, dude. You think there wasn't some sort of understanding in place when guys like Manu were taking pay cuts so they could get certain players and make it to finals?
Though frankly, Manu is better than much of the other sh** being signed for $10 mil plus in this league.
He's only 34.
hahaha... you sly dog
This...Manu would have a hard time starting on the Toros at this point.
Dumbasses with an agenda using Boban as an excuse to on Manu. If Ginobili had taken even less than he did last year, the Spurs might have had a chance to match. Completely unrealistic.
Lol what is so great about Boban?
Splitter was a far more proven player when he came to the Spurs, and Pop didn't play him most of the year, only giving him minutes when the Spurs were getting curbstomped in the playoffs. He certainly didn't bench him.
How was he far more proven? Lmao. They were both winners and MVP's in Europe.
Boban had the better first season, and it really isn't debatable.
We'll see
He produced on the court when called, even with scarce minutes.
In a league that's paying Jon Leuer 40M over 4 years. A guy with these numbers would've been paid 5.6M in the first year, 5.9M in the second, and 9.5M in the third:
Per-36 (measures how good his production was with limited min)
21.0Pts, 13.7Reb, 1.5Apg, 1.6Blk, 0.9Stl, 60.3FG%, 76.3FT%
Advanced
27.7PER, 66.2TS%, .325 WS/48, 3.6BPM, 21.7 TRB%
What your post should've been was....

Nonsense, Bon Bon is a stats king too and in reality is a scrub, Boban is not bad but he is slow, Mozgov is older and faster and so Porzingis also he is turnover prone and system player lets see how well he plays in a ty team.
Boban was a fan-favorite but not worth retaining at a high cost. I agree with most of what you said. Garbage time player who was not a particularly strong rebounder or defender.
We didn't have bird rights so Boban could not have been retained whereas we could go over the cap to sign Manu with Bird rights. Gasol was already taking a market discount so we would have had to trade Patty or something like that to keep Boban.
The anger should be at Detroit for poaching our bigs two years in a row but he deserves the money so I cannot be too mad. At least he didn't go to the Lakers or something like that.
Okay. That's why he didn't get drafted, dude.
Drafted ≠ proven
Tiago was way more proven than Boban. Boban has literally had only 2 years playing significant minutes at the top level, whereas Tiago was a major player on a very good, perennial Euroleague team for 5-6 years.
Youre back door logic here is failing. European prospects with the way the teams use contracts to leverage and the like is not a simple thing. If I remember correctly Boban lost a big chunk of change to get out of his balkan league contract before he came over.
Which would you rather have:
Player that takes 2 years to reach MVP level or
Player that take 5 years?
Ginobli aint been 34 in 5 years. 2016-1977 is not 34 in any form of math.
you missed the joke
yeah I did, but he's just as bad as Parker. It's basically a debate over who hurts us the most.
