Rose's contract was what clearly motivated the Spurs desire to move him. It's no secret, well at least to anyone who has been paying attention over the last couple of years. The Spurs were concerned about what it would cost to retain Ginobili and Parker.
All the Spurs were doing was setting up Rose's departure from SA. It never fails, all of a sudden a Spur is greedy or what not and then he's out of SA. That is Pop's ing modus operandi. As for moving him out of the rotation, why not? The Spurs had decided they were going to move him. I've yet to see any evidence that the impression around the league was that Rose could not do his job. Rose had proven he was one of the best 6th men in the league and he was a playoff performer. He had just done that in the previous season.
Of course I am sure you believed the Spurs really were determined to re-sign David Robinson the entire time back in 2001.
Rose's contract was an issue ever before 'issues' about his play arose.
Rose was left exposed in the expansion draft. Charlotte could have had him for nothing. the Spurs were even willing to throw in $3 million so that Charlotte would just act as a conduit for a team that wanted to pick Rose up so the Spurs could unload him. No takers.I've yet to see any evidence that the impression around the league was that Rose could not do his job.
Just because Charlotte didn't pick him up does not mean that there was not interest. NY was clearly interested in him. The Spurs didn't offer the $3 mil.
You think after last summer that Rose's 5 years and $32 million looks bad?
Perhaps that is why teams are calling and the Spurs aren't biting. Well, that and the fact that Ginobili's contract ended up being significantly less than anticipated.
Do you know for a fact teams are calling?
Yes.
Teams are calling now.
Link.
Don't give me your Bryant

Oh, it's not " ". And I'll give you whatever I feel like.
Now THATS the Rasho I'm talkin bout!!!!
Body art and a chia pot aren't going to help him.
don't hate the chia, hate the game.....
That was the weakest link.
Goodbye.
You think it's a 'weak link'? I thought you read this forum.
Duh.
Yes, and nothing in this forum has said teams are calling right now.
Duh indeed.
That source has proven to be quite reliable.
Actually, there was something in this forum in the past week saying just that. Rather shocking that you don't recall, considering that you employed your patented 'argue incessantly to prove what a hard up I am' strategy in that thread.
Good day.

Then link it.
I was in Vegas most of last week, so I didn't read everything.
Sue me.
If it's Ainge or Zeke, it's old news and can't be pawned off as current.
Im still waiting for that link as well.
Also still waiting for Marcu's comments on Malik HIMSELF saying he did to get himself benched last year.
tick tock.....
You apparently had time before or during your desert sojourn to read and participate in that thread.
Here it is.
Seems pretty current to me. No doubt you will argue for 20 more pages that it is isn't what it is. Too bad you couldn't have left your menstrual cycle in Sin City.
Oh, and Stay Puff, suck it. Rose apparently did some after he got benched for daring to sign a contract.
Before the trip.
As I said, old news.
Yeah, week old.
I have no doubt Malik can be traded. Celtics might trade him for the two years they owe on Vin Baker's contract or for Ricky "headcase" Davis and his longterm contract. Cuban would probably even pony up Wahad or Booth and their contracts. Question is can the Spurs get something they need for him like an ending contract for him?
Maybe Malik is going to get another chance although with Scola on the horizon I don't see where he fits longterm. There are probably only about 30 GMs that think Rasho and his contract is a better deal than Malik and his. Other than that Malik > Rasho is real sound thinking.
malik better not go anywhere this year....he will be sorely needed to get past the other contenders....
I saw no dates for the offer in that post.
Or what the offer was.
For less than 5 years and $32 mil? That wouldn't have gotten you a Cardinal or a piece of Foyle last summer.Question is can the Spurs get something they need for him like an ending contract for him?
Radosoft can't seem to give what Rose can inside and Radosoft has half a foot on him.
