    Malone isn't coming. He's using the Spurs as a negotiating tool.

    If we had more than the minimum, I'd believe that he was waiting to talk contract with the Spurs, but he knows what they have to offer. There would be no need to put off disclosing his decision if he had decided to join the Spurs, because he only has two options: Take the minimum, or don't play for SA.

    It'd be nice to have him, but I'm over it.

    Negotiating tool?

    Bro, we don't have any ing money to give him. The whole world knows that. How in the **** is that negotiating?

    Its quite simple, if he wants to play here, he will. if he doesn't, then he doesn't. Woopty ding dong do.

    The 82 game season must be played.

    The Spurs will never win a Championship with Rasho as the starting center anyway, so WTF does it matter?

    The Spurs STILL have not addressed their weaknesses from last year's post season. STILL.

    Pop keeps ing around with foreigners instead of doing a deal for a veteran backup point guard and center.

    The Spurs are going to get killed by Detroit, Miami, Sacramento and Minnesota.

    Bro, we're not the only team in the league.

    It's a scare tactic to get LA or Miami to pay up.


    Think. And read.

    Them paying malone and extra grand here and there has no effect on the Spurs.

    The Spurs are over the cap. Plus the Spurs have a full roster.

    How is that negotiating?

    The ball is in Malone's court. He don't care about a big deal. He is 40. He is essentially done.

    HE IS NOT NEGOTIATING WITH THE SPURS.



    If he can convince LA or Miami or Minnesota that he is considering joining the Spurs for the minimum, they will be more willing to pay him to keep him away from us.

    The Spurs do have a roster spot open for him and have made that clear many times.

    What I am saying (and what you likely agree with, except that you are doing your nightly ing schtick or you are not reading) is that if he had "made his decision" as he says he has, and if that decision was to join the Spurs, there would be no reason to wait any further because there are no terms to negotiate. It's minimum or nothing.

    foreigners? uh...dude...our starting point guard is a foreigner. Manu's a foreigner. So's Peja, Dirk, and speaking of centers...how about Yao? Hakeem was a freaking foreigner. No way we'll win a championship with one of those guys...

    Yeah, Pop's really stupid for " ing around with foreigners"...

    Tim is a foreigner, dumbass.

    Pop's really an idiot. There were plenty of Americans in that draft...

    What can those "foreigners" do, anyway? All they do is shoot. And who needs that crap? He needs to stop ing around with foreigners and get some of these hot domestic prospects.

    Not much of a negotiating tool since no one can pay him more than the minimum/LLE and all would happily sign him to as many years as he wants at that price.

    No one out of the teams he's reportedly interested in.

    Who knows, he could go to Indy for the MLE.

    I think Malone is just trying to see what he can get. It's not entirely a dumb idea. There are many outside factors for him to come to SA and for him not to come. Just because teams are at or over the cap doesn't mean they won't pay more. Maybe Malone wants to come to the Spurs if he just doesn't get an acceptably larger offer. Who knows at this point. I think if he comes here it will not be a negative in any way.

    What part of that did you not get Triple 6?

    The Lakers can pay him just a tiny bit more since he played with them the season before. It's not like what you say at all.

    Any team that is at the cap or a bit over can only offer him the minimum LLE. If you are way under, then he can earn more money. I'm of the opinion that Malone doesn't want more cash from the likes of Atlanta.If you are over the cap, then you pay a dollar-for-dollar tax.
    So it's more fiscally prudent to just pay him that min contract. If you think about it, his value, even in limited minutes, exceeds the value of his contract. That is the sole reason that Laker fans are clamoring for him. There is no better player at that price and Laker fans are saying that LA is more important than a le. They could be right. We'll what Karl has to say about it.
