You love to instigate and I hate to disappoint.

Well then we need a new deal with LJ & Kori.
I think it's time to start the official "Ghost, Don't Drink the Grape Koolaid Yet!" support group. Yes, it's disappointing not to get a "star" with the cap room we cleared, but there are no guarantees. Just ask the folks at Orlando when they tried to get Tim. What can you conclusively say that the FO did that they shouldn't have, or failed to do that they should have which would guarantee that one of those "stars" would sign with SA? If the "stars" are too ego-bound to play second fiddle to the best player in the NBA, well, as a friend of mine would say... "Some people are just too stupid to live."
Step away from the ledge... unless you promise to take a few of the folks on my list with you. :wacko
CrazyOne, I've already answered all of your Questions.
If Orlando couldn't get Duncan, why did our front office think they could get Kidd?
Question.
You can't know until you try... unless you want to get fined for tampering.
Then why are you blasting Orlando for trying to get Tim Duncan then, CrazyOne?
Oh, and the Magic still managed to land TWO superstars that summer, in Grant Hill (although in hindsight, that now appears to be a bad decision) and Tracy McGrady. Looks like their plan B worked pretty well, in my estimation.
I'm not blasting O for trying to get Tim, I just didn't want him to go there. They had every right to try, but just like the Spurs with Kidd, they had no guarantee that they would get him. I just meant that they couldn't get any confirmation from Kidd that he would sign until the FA open season started, and then all the Spurs could do was give it their best shot.
It's too soon to tell if our plan B will work well, McGrady was considered the booby prize when he signed up, and appears to have acquitted himself adequately since then.
GW,
I don't think our front office believed they could get Kidd. See Pop visits Rasho on July 1.
The front office was mearly showing Tim Duncan (who we all wanted to keep) that they were willing to do everything possible to TRY and get Kidd because it was Tim's wish.
Go Spurs...

I believe you're wrong.
I believe the front office wouldn't have been dumb enough to clear cap space for two seasons if they didn;t think they could land Kidd or another max free agent.
I believe the Spurs were very confident they would sign Kidd after they left San Antonio.
I believe Popo intended on signing Kidd and Rasho.
