at least he was useful against the mavs in a playoff series.
yeah but what was the cost lowered to from? i tickets to a playoff game this last year for $22 a ticket. a raise to $30 is not that big a deal, since i only go to a couple of games. what are the mav ticket prices?Cuban spends AND reduced ticket prices for next season...

That puts The Spurs on a timetable to sign Mahinmi to a long contract IF he pans out with 2 more years overseas and IF he's worth it (which is the timeframe he's on, I believe.) By then Duncan is what, 33? and still kicking ass, and the Spurs can either go after a big FA OR hopefully the Spurs will know enough to extend the 2 year contract they offer this week to Javtokas who is rocking balls by that time; plus already having Manu and Tony locked up.
Or else we have Francisco Elson and a half dead Zo. Oh yeah.....and Bonner
Thinking a 6'5" scrub forward would have been the difference against _allas really might be the biggest forum myth of all time.
before i forget, thanks to the trade which netted the spurs a year's rental of nazr mohammed, the spurs lost two lost cost options for adding talent to the team over the last year. and they lost their small ball big. great ing trade.
yeah because he had never solved the matchup problem the spurs faced this year. just go.
It is nice to know I am not the only one who has been getting ansy and frustrated.
The front office frustrates me because I don't have any idea what they are thinking and what they are working to accomplish.
I frustrate me because, aside from Nazr walking, I don't know what moves I wish the Spurs would make.
These are the thoughts I am trying to process:
1)I like bringing people in but I have yet to hear of anyone realistic who has strikes me as a must have.
2) I would like to believe that the Spurs moving Rasho was a necessary stage in their well thought out, developing master plan.
(I can respect that a plan exists, even if I disagree with it.)
However. it makes me very uncomfortable that we traded Rasho, who knows our system and is competant, while there appears to be no one to fill his position.
3) Much as I would like to, I don't know how much of a right I have to complain.
It isn't as if I have come up with some brilliant idea that the front office is not trying.
Phew, I feel a little better now.
If only the Spurs had David Lee right now. And James White would double the team's athletic ability.
but malik rose is gone and that is oh so important because of all the free agents the spurs can add this summer.
man they could have drafted a young big and a young 3 with those picks. now mohammed's gone and they're jonesing for francisco ing elson?
If the Spurs want to do Holting Pattern V1.1 fine but at least do it right. Make a real offer to Mourning and get two years out of him and sign a guy like Woods, be a contender. Or make a bad ass offer to Butler, like two years for solid money. Why half ass it with offers you know are unacceptable or dumb it down until you get crappy players willing to take a crappy offers thereby guaranteeing you'll be a second tier team if everbody can stay healthy.
Something is afoul when people refer to the dumping of Rasho's contract as the Spurs most critical FA move of the summer.
Players like Reggie Evans, Jackie Butler and Darius Songaila can probably be had with a solid 2-year, $11M offer. If you are going to give 2-years, you are going to have to make it up with money.
There's no excuse to blow half the MLE on Francisco Freakin' Elson.
that's because many spurs fans can't seem to delineate between fandom and being a blind slave to the front office
Hmmm, is Elson > Malik?
Sounds like we'll find out, sadly enough.
is Elson + 1 yr of Mohammed > Malik + two 1st round picks?
Well, that's of course what I was eventually getting to.
But let's keep it simple first.
the devils in the details sugebear
is elson plus 1 yr of mohammed > small ball big plus two young players who actually have to play in san antonio regardless of whether or not they want to for cheap ass pay for 4 years?
You're hysterical, Marcus. Malik was on the downside of an average career, and trading him was a good move at the time.
Malik is NOT the small-ball answer. I'm not sure how you think having someone on the floor who is shorter, slower and has less range than Robert Horry was (is) going to solve any matchup problems.
All Malik would have provided was 12 more free throws a night to Dirk...oh and he probably would have improved Nowitski's blocks per game as well.
I think you should go. . .watch some film.
People like to blame the front office for a lot of stupid crap. , I'm still disappointed we didn't ink Derek Anderson to that big, long-term deal a few years back. I'm really shocked at management's lack of vision sometimes.
As has already been pointed out, the FO, for all its successes, is not without it criticisms and blunders.
True, but if we can't even say that Elson > Malik, then we're left with trying to decide if 1 year of Nazr > two first-round picks.
I think that one is pretty easy.
We're doo--
Ah, I'll just make it my sig.
malik was the answer to the matchup problems the spurs had with the mavs and dirk since 2001. where have you been?
nah, i saw it live. looks like you need to hit the film room though.All Malik would have provided was 12 more free throws a night to Dirk...oh and he probably would have improved Nowitski's blocks per game as well.
I think you should go. . .watch some film.
i didnt want da back. try again.People like to blame the front office for a lot of stupid crap. , I'm still disappointed we didn't ink Derek Anderson to that big, long-term deal a few years back. I'm really shocked at management's lack of vision sometimes.
i like how they passed on howard though.
