Reply With QuoteS&T'ing Claxton doesn't give us any more caproom, since he isn't under contract anyway.
We're still in the same position.
ShoogarBear took the thought right out of my mind.
S&T Claxton and whatever for Sprewell.
Everybody's happy.

Had the Knicks liked such a package, Spree would have been a Spur last week, Shoog.
The Spurs have a $5M offer on the table to Horry, therefore they don't have $12M available, they have $7M. A mere signandtrade with Speedy and picks doesn't make enough room to have Spree.
And even if the Horry deal wasn't on the table, the Knicks are looking to get a big by getting rid of Spree. Speedy isn't big. The Spurs made them a similar offer last week and they didn't accept.
Why on earth would we pay a guy $5 million to be the fourth big off the bench with spot duty at small forward?!? If he's like Ferry, he will rack up the DNP-CD's in no time. Man we're desperate.Horry's role is likely to be the 4th big with perhaps some time at the 3 depending upon the situation. He'll have the "Ferry role" but obviously he will be an upgrade. This is a shrewd move by the Spurs should it go down. -Cassius Clay
As for the Sprewell trade, I hope it doesn't go down. The time to obtain Spree was six years ago.
And Ghost, I don't see Odom leaving the Clippers. Even if he were, I think it's too risky to offer him a big deal after his tendency toward injuries and drug use.
Ghost Writer demonstrates, yet again, that she'll about anything. What a damn freak. We can never have a quality discussion without her ill-informed ass whining about God only knows what throughout the thread. Give it a rest, miss.
Then we're left with nothing but minimum contracts to fill out the roster. No thanks.
Fvck off, Cassiuss. All you do is complain about my perceived complaining.
I'd rather work a deal for Sprewell than overpay for Horry.
Despite his size, Horry is much weaker at the 4 than at 3.
He's sort of the anti-Malik in that sense.
If a) you discount the salary, which I agree is too much, and b) assume last year was an anomaly, and Horry has at least one good year left in the tank, then it's a nice pickup. I don't think Horry will about lack of minutes or the occasional DNP. If he does, Willis can straighten him out.
BECAUSE ER, HE CAN STILL PLAY AND AS WE SAW IN THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR, IT PAYS TO HAVE SOME ING EXPERIENCED PLAYERS ON THE BENCH. GODDAMMIT GET A ING CLUE YOU WHINEY ASS DUMBASS. ****.Why on earth would we pay a guy $5 million to be the fourth big off the bench with spot duty at small forward?!? If he's like Ferry, he will rack up the DNP-CD's in no time. Man we're desperate.
STFU, Cassius.
If you paid attention to the playoffs, you would've seen Horry is done, dipsh1t.
And if you paid attention you would know that he played heavy minutes last season. When haven't you ed about the Spurs, young lady?
Nice excuse.
I can't wait to pay $5 million to a guy wo'll play 10 MPG and missed almost every shot he took in the playoffs.
We've gone from talking about Elton Brand and Jermaine O'Neal to Rasho Nesterovic and Robert Horry.
That's not b1tching, b1tch.
That's the reality of the situation.
Deal with it.
Go. Just go. It's time you stop trying to make the entire board miserable.
Spreewell has shot significantly below his career averages the last two seasons- a case can be made that he isn't at the top of his game either.
Rose + Jack/Bowen + Horry + $7Mil Capspace > Spreewell
I'm sorry. Were you trying to spin reality again?
Or were you upset because I'm not a blind, labotomized homer like yourself.
Rasho and Horry! Hurray for our team!
You're right. I'm glad I'm not a miserable with my nuts in a vise and a dildo up my ass like you.
Why is it we (myself included) always have to resort to tacky namecalling?
Unfortunately, even though I'm having a great day and I'm nowhere near miserable, I have to side with Ghost on this one.
The bottom line is this Spurs fans......if, three months ago, before the le, you were told that 1. The Lakers would sign Malone and Payton for a combined 6.5 million and 2. The Spurs would fail with Kidd, O'Neal and Brand and 3. The Spurs and their fans would be talking about Nestrovic as a replacement for Robinson and adding Robert Horry.....how would you feel?
Personally, I feel like this offseason has been a total failure- and we haven't even signed Horry yet!
Call me miserable, call me a , call me whatever, but do not deny that if this reality was presented to you three months ago- you would not be contemplating suicide.
Is our front office to blame? No- they tried their best, but the reality of the situation is that even though we are the champions and had a golden opportunity to get better- for a number of reasons we didn't. We sure as aren't worse but whereas our compe ion significantly improved- namely the Lakers and Wolves, we simply haven't- and to argue that is simplistic nicalodeon thinking.
Great Post, Walton.
Thank you, Walton.
Unfortunately, homers hate the truth.
Great post, Walton. But the summer doesn't end with the signing of Horry. We still have $7 million in cap room.
I think the reason people are disappointed in this offseason's moves are because of the expectations we had. If we didn't go into the summer with the bundle of cap room and the opportunity to get a max-FA, I think we'd be okay with adding Rasho to replace Dave and Horry to replace Ferry while maintaining all of our core players (less Claxton).
Its like we bought a lottery ticket, expecting to get the jackpot. When we only got a secondary prize of $50,000 we are disappointed because we didn't get the $100 million.
But we still have the $50,000.
I wouldn't mind getting Horry if he came really cheap.
But NOT for 5 million this year.
That dude did nothing in the playoffs to deserve that kind of money.
There is a freaking reason why LA has not even attempted to get him back.
...he was a big reason we even beat the Lakers last year....I dont think he hit even a single 3 pointer in that series...and he shot quite a few.
What are we trying to reward his crappy shooting for the Lakers last year by paying him off this year?
There HAS to be some better moves that we can do than overpaying this guy.
By the way...that move would be getting sprewell here.
Yes, you had unrealistic expectations if you thought signing a star this summer was guaranteed. Of course last summer we were subjected to round after round of ing from GW and GW Jr and we know what happened.
You people act like nothing could've been done to avoid this disappoinment.
We could've pursued free agents over the past two years.
We could've pursued trades over the past two years.
We didn't.
We refused.
We gambled.
And lost.
