3 Reasons Why LMA Won't Sign with Spurs

[Obstructed_View]

Wrong on all counts. The only reason he wouldn't come to SA is if this was all an elaborate ploy by the Blazers to make the Spurs give up a starter or two. I figured something was up when the Blazers were unable to the Spurs during the draft.

I'm assuming the Spurs have a plan B. Getting a defensive-minded discount big and Draymond Green?

Welp - he's not living in LA. No other big cities to choose from.

Why did LeBron go to Cleveland? You say it had nothing to do with family, so isn't LeBron the perfect example of a star who didn't care about the glamour of L.A., N.Y., or Chicago?

No, different dynamic. The narrative for Lebron is that of a returning king coming to bring his city out of ruins. Anywhere else and he's just Lebron James. In Cleveland he's the return of the chosen one.

1. San Antonio, he doesn't want to live there.
2. Shadow of Tim Duncan. Tim is the force and will be even when he's gone. Any other SA player will pale in comparison, especially an established quality big.
3. System play. Guys who are highly sought after often don't like system play because it marginalizes their individual stats and therefore their marketability.

There are other reasons, like not wanting to be berated on live television by a guy who sat the franchises best player in the crucial moment of a Finals game, yet played a crippled fat ass while he was ting the bed in the most crucial moments of the post season.

This technique of taking known quan ies and claiming they are the opposite is just so edgy and clever.

$20 Million in California equals about $17.4 Million in Texas due to California's State Income Tax of 13% over $1 Million. PLUS, California's sales tax is 7.5% Texas is 6.25%.

You have that backwards.

It would be 23 million in Texas.

And post hoc ergo procter mop.

i think he meant he could make 17,4 million in texas and it wouldn't be any worse than 20 million in california.

Don't they have to pay whatever state they play in though?

5 years ago TC would make the difference. Right now he's not even close to the answer. I can't see LMA having him as a difference maker unless LMA is an idiot.

I haven't hedged anything, haven't bet anything. I didn't say he'd come to SA then say he wouldn't. I say he won't. There's no hedging.

I say you're dead wrong and that it's been in the works for months.

I'm hopping on the DMC wagon. LMA is re-signing in Portland.

Blizzardwizard with the Lefty quality jinx.
