First order of bidness...

This may be the Lakers last gasp. Malone and Payton are a one year deal. It'll add to their glory if they come to LA, win a championship, and the next year without them the Lakers collapse. There'll be no question how the Lakers won it. It won't be a legacy of riding Kobe and Shaq's coattails. What's worse Kobe might be sitting there in FA, seeing no Payton or Malone and an aging Shaq and decide the Grizzlies or Miami or somewhere looks pretty good. Lakers are unlikely to get more FAs to come and work for chump change. Our frustation now may be dwarf by the Lakers angst next summer.

Whatever moves the Spurs make now should be made in the context of the new era of the NBA. It shouldn't be made with the idea of "who do we get to stop Shaq". LA is likely not to be the bogey. It should be made with who do we get to contend with the next generation teams, the Suns, the Pistons, maybe the Bulls, teams that you don't require stopping a 400 lb gorilla in middle.

At this point I want Kandi.

He will cost about the same as PJ more likely...and has a of a lot more potential.

I honestly feel that if he were to play with a team like SA...being pushed and encouraged the way our coaches and players do...that he could live up to his potential.

And Kandi has a lot of potential.

Hes good on D.. can block. And can get points too if necessary. Plus hes young.

Lets get him into the spurs system and move on (Unless the spurs can work out some way to get Brand this year...I dont want to wait till next year just to lose him then like we did Kidd)

Do you guys think we should really forsake the next season or two for the future?

What if Malone or Payton go down?

These are the best years of Duncan's career right now.



Man, there's no easy answers.

Sign Kandi. Go after an Arenas or Odom.
