The tax is not an issue here. The tax threshold for this season was set at $67.865 million. The Spurs' current payroll (WITHOUT Stoudamire) is at $69,586,150. So the Spurs are already going to be paying a tax no matter what.
Sign Damon. Get rid of Elson. Now.

Shades of 2005.
And people thought I was crazy when I posted this just yesterday....
Would we be better off signing Earl Boykins (who is still available and looking for a Job, http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_ar...ork_by_friday/
). He might fit into the offence a lot better, as a penetrator in the TP mode...
Also, look at their last years:
06/07
Stoudamire:

Boykins:

Boykins was more productive offensively as well as a better defender.
You base it on one game? How many games have mattered to DS during his career with Toronto, Portland and Memphis
Uhhh, and let's see...how many top 10 NBA all-time big men has DS played with that would consistently give him open looks?
'nuff said...sign him up as TP's backup and shut TP down for a couple of wks. As long as the Big 3 are healthy and the bench is solid, you can count me in as a fan who doesn't care if we enter the playoffs on the road.

I've always hated Stoudamire's at ude, and I remember how he was about to cry in game 2 of the WCF ala Morrison. Who knows? I hated Glenn Robinson for the same reasons, but he was useful in game 1 of the Finals. Maybe we'll get lucky again, but I'm not any more excited about Stoudamire then I was Melvin Ely last year.
Boykins is a horrible ball hog, but really I'm fine with signing almost anyone who can stay on the court right now. Stoudamire, Boykins, Livingston, Wilks -- whatever. Parker's health is the priority here because we're going nowhere if he isn't healthy.
I like how dummies like ChumpDumper change their tune after it appears D. Stoudamire will be a Spur.
Fvckin' homers.
I'm still generally anti-Stoudamire and think there are better choices out there.
The important thing is to sign somebody. Stoudamire is somebody. I think the only way he will help is by letting Parker rest. Otherwise, he sucks ass and I don't want him playing a second after Parker gets back to 100%.
So GFY again.
Like who, Chump?
You usually say 'no' to everyone else' suggestions from your ivory tower.
And look!
The Spurs are about to sign a player that I and others pontificated about.
You are a fool if you think Stoudamire won't play when Parker is healed or if he is worse than Vaughn.
If Barry was healthy, I would say no one.
I'm looking for a stopgap. Not a guy to suck here for the rest of the season. If he turns out to miraculously not suck like he already has this season, fine -- but where is your evidence that he's going to turn the Spurs' season around?
I have no evidence, but I know he is better than Vaughn.
Who do you suggest as a stopgap?
Alright then.Thanks for confirming you don't actually read anyone's posts.Who do you suggest as a stopgap?
The Stoudemire trade might anticipate a few other things. The obvious one, which everyone is hip to, is that it lets us rest Tony Parker. The second is that if the Spurs make a trade it won't be for a point guard. A third is that Jeremy Richardson is history.
I don't think that Stoudemire will play over Vaugn. I think Vaughn will play, Parker will sit, and Stoudemire will spell Vaughn--which, for its duration, will cons ure the worst point guard combo in the league.
If Stoudamire puts the Spurs over the tax threshold, I don't think Richardson's cost becomes a real issue since he isn't the guy who put them over. He certainly could be gone though.
Chump,
Please name names.
Who is your stopgap?
I remember yesterday that you dreamed up a player that was too good and way unavailable.
Fire away.
Thanks for the further confirmation that you don't read.
Why don't you figure out another trade for a $12 million player that sucks worse than what we have now.
Fire away.
I'll say: Bring him. At least we will have one more 30 year+ player.
Answer the Popd@mn question.
Who do you want as a stopgap?
Question.
I love the fact that you were too lazy to read in the first place and are now completely incapable of looking around.
Your being re ed is not my problem.
Damon doesn't seem like a stopgap signing to me.
Does he seem like one to you?
Don't be scared... just post here and save us some time.
Who knows?
I might even agree with you!
I'm just tired of you tearing down and never offering any suggestions.
I seriously am looking for ideas!
Please post your target(s).
