Maybe I got off track, but I think this was my point about Ford....
... unless the expiring contracts they get are worth more than his $8 million off the books.
Or we include pick(s).

I don't know the credibility of this rumor, but everone that said the spurs would never consider ron artest ... you are so owned!
I had by doubts the spurs woudl want him, but he would be great playing for the spurs.
Hey, for more of a blood-letting, check out how Spurm tried saying that the Mavs' success came from their draft picks more than the moves they made in the "Jason Kidd risky" thread.
It ain't pretty.
You're obsessed with me now. I'm almost flattered.
Even though it isn't going to happen, it's so crazy it just might work.
I'm just stunned. I've never seen you persist with such an absurd take in the face of insurmountable facts to the contrary.
Everyone know the Spurs are successful because of the 2 #1 draft picks and the Mavs because they make moves.
Why argue that?
I assume you hate the idea of Artest, too.
Everyone knows the Mavs are successful because of a Lottery pick in 1998.
I'm indifferent about the Artest move... but I don't give a whole lot of thought to trades that have about a 0% chance of happening.
Not to mention a GREAT reach pick in 2003. Dirk and JHo, the draft day boys, are their All Stars. Everyone else on that team is replaceable.
Spurs' success is wrapped around four of TD's fingers.
Point me towards Mav's success, please?
I hope there is more t the ron artest rumor then a newspaper reading this forum
You guys are dolts.
Only Howard was drafted by the Mavs.
Keep believing that the Mavs are as lucky as the Spurs. They create their luck, but swinging deals to get Dirk and Harris on draft day. Everyone else on the team was a trade or a free agent signing.
Everyone can't win the lottery.
Twice.
And if the Spurs get Artest and he pans out, you naysayers can stay the F' off the bandwagon.
We should not have let you on the Stephen Jackson one, either.
Haters.
Nowitzki was drafted at the Mavs' instruction.
Houston won the lottery twice and ended up with only 2 les.
Now you are being mean . . .Houston won the lottery twice and ended up with only 2 les.
Yes and the Mavs then traded for Dirk on draft day.
That's called a "move."
The Mavs built their team around moves. This can't be disputed anymore.
Only two les for the lucky Rockets? What a shame in the small break of the Jordan Era.
Thankfully the Spurs 2 lottery franchise players were spread out over a decade and hade more longevity that Ralph Sampson.
They told the Bucks who to draft. So you are wrong on that count.
The Rockets' two lottery picks came in the 90s?
Anyways, winning championships is about more than just ending up with a great lottery pick.
Since the subject of comparing the Mavericks' player transactions (trades, free agent signings, etc.) versus those of the Spurs was brought up...
Here are the player transactions of the Mavericks since January 14, 2000 (when Cuban became the owner):

And here are the transactions of the Spurs within the same time frame:

Form your own conclusions from these.
Case closed.
Spurs
Mavs
?
And that's because the Mavs didn't strike oil in the draft.
They did with Dirk.
And that should be held against the Spurs because?
Spurs should really try to be more like the Mavericks. Really.
I'm actually pissed that they aren't more like the Mavericks.
The Bulls should really apologize for having garnered their successes through the draft.
