Screw Holt*

[tekdragon]

Remember when Derrick Anderson was also screwed by the Spurs. He was one of Duncan's best friends, and don't forget another friend of Duncan who the spurs also let go. Antonio Daniels. And now Parker? I personally believe Duncan chose SA over the rest was because of loyalty, but when there not being loyal to him just by keeping a group of players he enjoys playing with is really pushing his buttons.

By using this logic to say we should pay TP now you're saying we should have paid to keep DA and AD. In which case, we wouldn't have any available money to keep TP and we definitely couldn't have kept Manu. DA would probably be hurt half the time and crying the other. I loved DA when he was here and thought they should have paid him to keep him here at the time.

The Spurs chose to act with fiscal responsibility, and guess what?

They turned out to be right.

The issue with DAnderson and AD was that DRob was going to be retiring within the next couple of years when they were free agents. The Spurs wanted the flexibility to be able to build around Duncan once DRob retired, including potentially adding a second superstar.

As it stands now the Spurs are pretty much locked in to their current roster. Also, again, the struggles the Spurs had in free agency from 2001-2004 pretty much cast doubt on the desirability of pursuing other teams' free agents for the small market Spurs. With Parker you do have a significant young talent who is quite willing to stay long term in San Antonio. That's not exactly easy to come by.

Yeah, and we'll still have that next year. We might even get some help from the new CBA. Or, we may have to pay Tony even more, because he will have earned even more. What's the problem in that? Let him earn as much as he can. I hope he gets it.

Holt:

La reconcha de tu madre! Dos palos no es nada para tu billetera llena de verdes, re mil hijo de puta. Pone la guita y dejate de hinchar las bolas. La ciudad de San Antonio, y los fans de todo el mundo, te lo demandan.

Gordo conchudo!

Ahhh . . . now I feel better . . .

I thinks my rant in Spanish is what did the trick.

Thanks Holt.
