Sorry if this has already been posted, here's a snippet:
"San Antonio's braintrust of R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich has produced the NBA's model franchise and four championships in the past eight years, so I don't know if it's right for me to doubt it.
The Spurs don't make too many mistakes. The only major blunder I can think of was 2003, when they drafted Leandro Barbosa, the reigning sixth-man of the year, for the Phoenix Suns and passed on Josh Howard, 2007 all-star, in the process (It hasn't hurt too much since they've won two NBA championships since then).
However, after watching Luis Scola playing for Argentina the past week and a half, I am completely stunned that the Spurs traded him -- for little more than cap room -- and to division rival Houston at that."
