LA didn't sign O'Neal as a free agent while they were capped out and coming off a championship.
LA signed O'Neal after they cleared the cap room to make a run at him when he was a free agent. Just like a certain team has done this summer.
Again you praise other teams for things that you criticize the Spurs like mad for. F'ing clown.
Let's see the Spur sign a superstar than they need and covet first, pal. Until then, I'll cling to fond memories of the almighty Derek Anderson and his remarkable 8-month run with the Spurs.

Yeah, the worst case scenario is that the Spurs have the cap flexibility to use on some younger free agents to build up the talent base of the team for future deals. Hopefully that won't entail giving up $7 mil a year to the now middle-aged (by NBA standards) Michael Olowokandi.
Not being able to add a star this summer is something I don't want to see happen, but it's not the end of the world if they don't...though it will be tougher going forward.
Talk about hedging your bet.![]()
You're acting like it's the apocalypse if the Spurs don't come away with a supestar like Kidd in most threads, but now it'll be okay to sign some young, "okay" free agents?
Incredulous.

I'm telling it like it is. You are the one who whines about the Spurs not pursuing superstar talent when they are capped out and who whines when they pursue superstar talent when they have the cap room. All the while praising other teams who pursue superstar talent no matter their cap situation.
They'd be hard pressed to retain this cap flexibility going forward. If they don't get a star then they could always add a couple of young free agents to use in future deals. I still have no qualms with the Spurs giving themselves the flexibility to add talent via free agency when DRob retired. Complaining about that is ing stupid. Especially when the real cost was Derek Anderson, an injured Lamond Murray, and Chris Mihm.
You're a double-taking, obstinate fool.
Every summer for seven years now, you've been the leader of the NO LIMT push to get a superstar on the Spurs by any means necessary — even during the Holt-ing Pattern.
Don't act like the Spurs conservative, penny-pinching plan to add a superstar this summer was something you were comfortable with.
And don't start acting like coming away with nothing but passed-over, cheap young players is fine and dandy with you now either.
You're willing to throw max money and years at a non-fit like Kidd and assure no cap flexibility for the next half dozen years!!!
I can't believe all the mixed signals you are throwing out here.
You were the one pushing for the trades with the Cavaliers!
You're the one who would sign Kidd right now despite the obvious need for a center!
Come correct.

And you want to sign Payton.ou're the one who would sign Kidd right now despite the obvious need for a center!
Go figure.
And if you think Gary's price for the Spurs would be the midlevel, you are sadly mistaken.
Chump, stop being a little b1tch and read for once.
If it's between Kidd or Payton, it's Payton for reasons I keep repreating for those like you:
• Successful playing off-guard
• Less years
• Less money
• Ability to sign a marginal starting center

Give it up, GhostWhiner. You've been exposed for the umpteenth time.
It's not.If it's between Kidd or Payton
Can't you accept reality at all?
4 versus 6. Whoop de doo.Less years
Complete BS. Why is Payton's agent leaving the door open to Portland and Miami?Less money
Money. A lot more money.
Learn what "if" means.
2 years is an eternity in the NBA.
So you think Payton won't sign with the Lakers, huh?

Learn what "reality" means.Learn what "if" means.
So Payton is 2 eternities older than Kidd. Gotcha.2 years is an eternity in the NBA.
It's possible, but it's a certainty he won't sign with the Spurs. See the difference?So you think Payton won't sign with the Lakers, huh?
WTF are you guys arguing over past FA histories betw LA and SA? WTF cares what has happened in the past, the best two teams the past 5 yrs are SA and LA, both have done well with their rosters and both will do well this offseason.
Chump, do you think Kidd would be a better value and a better fit for the Spurs than Kidd?
Question.
P.S.
Oh, wait. You don't "think." You wait. You report. And react like a fan who will just blindly support whatever goes down. That's the problem here. Why bother posting? Just read what's reported and keep quiet.

Yeah Ghost it is certainly awful that the Spurs have a shot at signing a Jermaine O'Neal or Jason Kidd outright this summer.
i think kidd would be about equal to kidd
'Chump, do you think Kidd would be a better value and a better fit for the Spurs than Kidd?
I assume you mean Payton.
The answer is yes. I have always thought so.
And the answer completely moot because Payton ain't coming.
I don't deal in fantasies in the face of cold reality Ghost. That's your department.Oh, wait. You don't "think." You wait. You report. And react like a fan who will just blindly support whatever goes down. That's the problem here. Why bother posting?
Get bent.Just read what's reported and keep quiet.
Why don't you talk about signing a player who is actually interested in playing for the Spurs?
Question.
"i think kidd would be about equal to kidd" — Ice![]()
IMC, you should proofread on the side.
Yes, I meant Payton vs. Kidd. And Chump, I could insist that O'Neal, Brand, Kidd and Payton aren't coming, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it!
![]()
O'Neal IS coming, for a visit if nothing else.I could insist that O'Neal, Brand, Kidd and Payton aren't coming
Kidd is already visiting here.
Brand is mulling over his offer from the Clips.
Payton ain't coming--not for a visit--not to play.
He's simply off the table. You can now only talk about how we "missed out" on him again if that's what you want. I'm sure you will.
Damn. Jason Kidd is in town and Jermaine O'Neal is on his way...and Ghost complains.
Don't drink that whine.
Chump, if you are cool with letting Payton go to the Lakers without even asking him if he'd like to play for us, that's fine. You don't have to comment on that notion then.
