Contract lengths left etc. Calling GM's

[GoSpurs21]

thanks for explaining it to me. it makes sense that once a player stops playing under a contract, the team has one year to sign him. seems fair for both player and team.

But it will be interesting to see how much the new CBA differs from the current one.

When will we know the changes to the CBA? June?

Barring a lockout, probably.

I don't know. I would assume that the changes will become public once the players association and the league come to an agreement.

Some have said that it could happen after the new year, but as past history shows, it could very well drag out until late spring or summer. It doesn't look like it will be ugly this time as it has been in the past, but I guess you never really know.

I was listings Rumppd's concerns line by line. If you would have actually read the thread, you would have realized that those weren't my words. You could actually read the thread, you know. It might help you understand what's going on.

Try to keep up with the conversation before calling people out, O.K.?

I did...I highlighted where you agreed with him. Read it again.

Actually...you seemed more pro Massenburg than he did now that I think about it.

Elaborate. How did what I said about Horry show that I would support trading for Kidd?

I don't know if you support or supported trading for Kidd at any point...but it was a dumb argument then...just like it's a dumb argument now...Similar to this current anti-Horry movement...

IOW, it was a smartass comment meant to get a rise out of you, moreso than to be some kind of factual proof of your Horry/Mass comments being stupid...I was asking

[RobinsontoDuncan]

my question is then, when can we bring scola here, we also have to get jovkoda (whatever the his name is) here eventually and i see us either losing Devin Brown (that might hurt) or telling scola to wait another year to come here, two really bad options

You pointed to a part of my post where I quoted him. Put down the pipe.

We can re-sign Brown and bring Scola over in theory. I guess it's about Holt and his willingness to s out more money. I'm sure he won't want to pay the luxury tax if there will be one in the next CBA, but even if there isn't, he still must have a maximum number in mind. And adding $5 million or more in new contracts to a payroll already growing steadily through yearly raises could scare him. He did just s out some serious money for Parker and Manu. I think he did more than people thought he would to keep the core together and intact.

I think a lot of it depends on what Scola will be looking for in terms of $$$ at the end of this season and how much Brown impresses other coaches, GMs, and scouts this season. It's really too early to tell at this point. And as always, both are only a solid knee twist away from being practically useless.

I don't think Javtokas is a lock to come over at any point. He's almost certainly less of a priority than Scola. He used to be an athletic freak, and if he hadn't been in that accident, he might already be here now.
