So what? Parker, Manu, Barry, among others, have been in the same situation.Think about it. He's had that contract hanging over his head for some time now.
How long should we give Rose to get over his new contract and play ball? 2009?
The Spurs might as well move Rose because this soap opera is not going to end as long as the Spurs are trying to pare down payroll.
The Spurs shot themselves in the foot against LA in last year's playoffs thanks to this drama, and it's not going to end anytime soon. It's a shame that decisions are made not on what is best for the team on the court, but rather the bottomline. Sure, it's still a business, but let's not pretend that it's anything else.

Rose has had this hanging over him for years now. Those guys didn't. I'd say he's handled it well considering the bull the Spurs have been pulling on him to cover for their cheapness.
Well what about Barry? Earlier this season he was everyone's goat, even Pop's, and there rumors about him being traded too.
Malik's brought in on himself by trying to play above his game.
And he played like . Funny how once that died down and he was allowed to just play that there isn't a problem now.
Oh please. Malik has always played hard and made a few mistakes of commission. Always. Malik's the same as he was back in 1999 through 2003. I'll take a guy who plays hard and is trying to make things happen over pussys who are technically skilled yet are afraid to to anything in the paint.Malik's brought in on himself by trying to play above his game.
playing hard?
pulling a jersey over your head and not running back on d is being stupid and lazy
tp seemed to play well when their was all that talk about kidd
why can not rose play like that?
as long as the Spurs are trying to pare down payroll.
Yeah that payroll gets smaller and smaller everyday.
Just quit being a Spurs fan already your pathetic.
It's gotta come from some place genius.
Oh, so I'm "pathetic" because you cannot refute my points. I see how it works.
No your pathetic because the arguement the team is trying to cut payroll is ridiculous.
Name some players the team have cut in the past couple years to "trim payroll"
you cant, because this team doesnt "Trim payroll."
This offseason they are gonna add even more, with raises to Parker Ginobili Duncan Nesterovic, Rose, and adding Scola, and maybe Devin Brown getting a raise.
So this BS "cutting payroll" doesnt float.
Rose hasn't played to his contract, simple as that, the jersey covering the head BS was the final straw for Pop.
But, think what you want X Files.
The Spurs have had a desire to move that contract irrespective of his play. In case you missed it even Johnny Ludden pointed that out last summer.
Lest we forget that the Spurs had Ginobili to re-sign last summer and Parker to extend.
Now, if Holt was worrying about the luxury tax, might that not lead to a desire to...*drumroll*...reduce payroll long term?
Look, you are a simpleton and someone that everyone laughs at, not with, here for good reason. You routinely display a bias against African-Americans which clearly belies an intolerant soul. Seek help.
lol.You routinely display a bias against African-Americans which clearly belies an intolerant soul
Classic, so Im a racist now??
Great stuff.....
Cant come back with better argument than "Well, Johnny Ludden said it"
They want to move his contract because hes is not PLAYING UP TO HIS CONTRACT!
Simple as that
call me a racist or whatever childish BS you want, him not playing up to his contractual standards is the reason, NOT because of how much he makes.
Rose needs to slow down a bit, he makes careless mistakes because he is trying too hard. in addition, he shoots out his range, he needs to go into games with the mentality of rebounding and playing good defense, and just go with the flow on the offense of end. right now im hoping they TRADE him, i would like them to try to make a move for Kurt Thomas.
KT is a very efficient, smart vet who has horry/malone mentality. I think with TD by his side, KT will have that mid rage jumper that he loves to take. not only that i think he would give us a Double-Double every night.
Hey I'm not the only one who has noticed your racism.
Actually, Johnny Ludden is the Spurs beat writer and dare I say a better source about the Spurs than your Klan ass.
Right.
I see.
So I guess rooting for black players, means nothing right.
If I was a racist, then why is one of my closest friends from high school hispanic?
Stop the Racist BS.
Ah yes...your hispanic friend. Oh so you root for black folks in sporting events.
Some root for horses.
Purify thyself.
if i was a racist, i wouldnt have a hispanic friend nor would I root for a team with black players would I?
Of course Im sure youll come back with some witty, blather, but whatever.
I am NOT a racist.
haha this has kinda gone off topic
Sean Marks at a local gtg
![]()
Marks played decent defense, but once again, looked like totally lost on offense.
Totally inexcusable for someone thats been practicing with the team night in night out for almost 2 full years.
how many years has rose had?
