Nazr's Contract Extension?

[CaptainLate]

Well, he's not going to take $2.5 mil a season as his replacement has...

Didn't say he needed to. But if he thinks he's worth Joe Johnson $$, then he's listening to his agent and not his head.

its a shame we have to have this discussion, why can't our ing owners be like the MAvericks JUST FOR ONCE
(AHF made an excellent point-- the future, the time to win is now)


Why can't they stop being tight asses, pay over the cap for once, and re-sign Nazr to a good large deal...within reason of course! If the league is getting to the point where players like JOE JOHNSON get maximum freakin contracts, then it just may be pointless to even try....but hopefully this stupid ass spending stops...it wont though

One thing IS certain though folks....as everyone else not blinded by spurs-bias says

"you can't win championships with Rasho Nesterovic as your center"

[Marcus Bryant]

What's better than owning a team that's a threat to win championships every year?

Apparently, it is owning one that that is a threat to win a championship every year and at the same time will garner ownership the maximum amount of the lux tax distribution they are en led to receive.

I am quite sympathetic to the argument that the Spurs should stop being so damn cheap.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

hey MB hook up the total salary for the spurs and total salary for the mavs for last season

i wouldnt know where to find it

But if memory serves....wasnt the Mavs payroll RIDICULOUSLY higher than the Spurs???

I mean do Holt et al. always have to be like this? Suck it up ers, we have the greatest player in the world, one of the ALL TIME GREATS, in his prime, put a good ing team around him and we could finally repeat for gods sake

Ironically, the amnesty clause might turn that heavy flow of tax distribution into a trickle. For instance, if NY and Dallas waive Houston and Finley, that payment drops by a little over 1.5 million each of the next two years.

[picnroll]

2004-05 salaries

Yeah. And check out the season ticket prices that go with those salaries. And think what those prices would be if the Knicks weren't such a lameass team.

Agreed.

Hey, Holt. You and the rest of the "hick town cheap owners" will only have the best PF in the game for so long and then he's gone. So don't go "Lakers" on us. They could have had 2-3 more rings but let egos get in the way. You're letting $$ get in the way. So what if you make a few mil $$ less. You can't take it with you to the grave.

[Marcus Bryant]

Agreed.

The thing is, the ownership group is comprised of more than just 'hicks'.

I will add that we should not forget that Manu and TP's prices are far less than what they could've been. I'm sure most NBA owners would have no problem going over the lux tax threshold to ensure this roster and coaching staff had what it needed to remain a championship team.

The Spurs are milking the arena deal and the lux tax system for all it's worth. No surprise there. Well, at least for some of us.

[AFE7FATMAN]

Yes, and "finesse" isn't a word anyone who has would use to describe him.

I do.

Compared to TD- No way in

Compared to Rash and Nazr I would say Mr Finesse

I believe he shoots over 50% lifetime 2 pointers
and about the same from the Free Throw Line
