    Kidd missed 4 games between the last two seasons. Try arguing without misrepresentation, if you can.
    And how many has he missed the last 4 seasons?

    Start by looking at how many he missed the year we failed to sign him.

    He didn't miss 60% of those games.

    ROFL. So how does that make Scola a bad fit as the Spurs' backup 4?

    Because he doesn't play D...or rebound, which means he isn't going to get on the court and his trade value will be less than Rasho's.


    So you will be paying him for nothing...and that slot could be used for someone else...and we'll have more money under the cap, next season, if we can't get someone by trade or FA this offseason, without he and Butler being here, to have an additional avenue of pursuit if we aren't spending it on him(and Butler)...

    No one said you can't disagree and post about it but you're the one throwing down gauntlets to Spurs fans about acceptance. I'm just curious as to what you're defention of non acceptance. Is ing about it on here enough to qualify me as not being on Holt's ?

    Feel free to day and night Marcus, your ing of the front office has a ton of credibility behind it as shown by your track record.
    The fans will vote with their $ if this team fails to make it back to the top with a Tim Duncan still close to his peak.

    Are you voting with your money? You going to spend less on them this year?

    Man, I'm not asking complex questions yet you seem to keep avoiding them. I simply want to know how you're not going to accept this trade. What is that you're going to do?

    I'm starting to hope the Spurs make more bad trades just to watch you meltdown. I wonder what they'd have to do to make your head explode?

    I wonder what the Spurs would have to do in order for you to actually voice an opinion.

    Why do you continue to follow the Spurs if you hate the front office so much.

    You every ing year about the same and the Spurs keep winning les. You know how the front office operates and it's not going to change no matter how many of these ing threads you start. Either accept it or go root for the Knicks who have no problem paying the luxury tax yet can't even make the playoffs.

    This is old.

    I heard a guy on the Ticket radio yesterday call in and complain about the worst trade the Spurs have made. No not the Scola and Butler for chaff trade. He was complaining about "that trade of Sam Presti and PJ Carlesimo to Seattle, man... for the rain!"

    And you every ing year when everyone doesn't agree with losing talent for the sake of enriching the ownership group. That's old and boring, to say the least.

    When's TP's enshrinement in Springfield, BTW?

    It will happen way before the Spurs ever go over the luxury tax.

    If you had a few more seasons of the best triumvirate in the league wouldn't you?
    You got owned...your act is tired...I guess you use this forum to stroke yourself..why dont you go find a Knicks forum, then you can talk about how bad ass it is that your team went $45 mil over the cap for nothing, but its still great that NY doesn't have "cheap" owners...I've never used the "ignore" feature, but something tells me now is the perfect time to use it..I encourage others to do the same, without anyone being able to see the nonsense this spills, he wont have any ammo to keep coming up with all this crap.

    I got "owned" by who? Spurs fans who are unable of separating themselves from blind loyalty to the team to recognize when management has made horrid trades for non-basketball reasons? Yeah right.

    PS...I'm glad I ruffled your feathers. That's step 2 on the road to recovery.

    When are the Spurs going to have the window they will have over the next couple of seasons to win multiple championships ever again? Excuse the Spurs making bad personnel moves to reduce their payroll to your heart's content, but now is no time to cut corners, especially when that entails giving away talent to a playoff team in your division.

    The Spurs won a le last season without facing Dallas due to the greatest upset in NBA playoff history and with Phoenix being a couple men down for a crucial Game 5. The distance between the Spurs and those two teams is not as great as you might wish. It's certainly not enough to justify putrid moves like giving away a couple of low post scoring bigmen to Houston.
    Music to my ears.. i feel exactly the same...

    I´m a Sport Fan, the Luxury Tax is not my business

    This year we can pay or not, but Next Year, we are going to pay the Tax

    For the 08'09 season we have 50 millions in guaranteed contracts for 6 players

    Duncan-Manu-Tony-Bonner-Vaughn-Oberto

    We must to resign BB, so 54 millions in 7 players

    But Finley-Barry and Horry are in the last year

    Umm.. the Spurs went over the luxury tax this season. They are one of only five or six teams in the league paying it.

    So, is Tony in the Hall already?

    When I said Tony was in the hall, I meant if he just continues to hold serve until he retires which is obviously not going to be in the next season or 2.

    Are you with Marcus on this? Every year, he berates the ownership group for getting rid of players for "non-basketball" reasons when if the Spurs would keep all these bench warmers Marcus thinks are vital to the Spurs success, we wouldn't have been able to sign Parker and Ginobili to extensions.

    Everything comes back to basketball success, but this is a business and you can't paint yourself into a corner like the Knicks have done or you will be ty for a long, long time in the NBA. Fiscal responsibility allows you to make tweaks and stay on top. Sure, you might lose a good prospect here and there and no front office is perfect, but 29 other fans of NBA teams would kill to have the Spurs front office and success.

    ing about their philosophy every ing year is just ridiculous and tiresome. It's not going to change so if people like Marcus hate this philosophy so ing much, they need to go find some other team to root for that matches their fiscal preferences.

    The Spurs are in the position they are in first and foremost due to Tim Duncan. Cutting corners did not land that lottery pick. They also lucked out in landing a franchise player who was content to play in a small market.

    The Spurs almost let the Hall of Famer Parker walk over a couple mil, if not for Pop, of all people, taking internal business to the public.

    As for the Knicks, I'm not sure why the front office sycophants of this forum point to them so much. That's what a team looks like when it doesn't have one of the 20 greatest players of all time fall into their lap and is relatively free to make moves to try to land a franchise player.

    The Spurs only have a limited amount of Tim Duncan's greatness left. Now is no time to be cheap. Of course, that is if you are about seeing your favorite team win on the court and don't give a about their P&L.

    As for the 'repe iveness' of my opinions, it's rather tiresome reading the same drivel from you, again and again. You should be bursting with joy over that absolutely horrid deal the Spurs made, because it saved them a little jack. People like you are static in this forum. Background noise. When you become a basketball fan and not a Spurs cheerleader, let me know.
