You're hurtin' AFLAC.
You can't project that in 5-7 years that Kidd wil be Steve Smith. what kind of BS is that?
Lets say that he conitinues this downward spiral. At his current rate in 7 years he will be better that TONY IS RIGHT FREAKIN' NOW....AMAZING ISN'T IT?
I don't get this at all - instead of having the best point in the game, Jason Kidd, from age 30-37 lets get Payton instead from ages 35-37.gp is a proven winner
sign him for 2 years instead of kidd
Jason's too old, so sign someone five years older? I don't know what GP has ever done that Kidd hasn't. Kidd took a team whose second best player was Keith Van Horn to the Finals. Shawn Kemp took Payton to the Finals.
gp can teach parker and you could also sign another star fa.
you do not have a LONG TERM CONTRACT on a old player. you can get out of the contract when parker is ready to be a point. two years with gp and parker could be quite impressive. I also think gp might even come for around 4 million or a little less. you sign oneal then payton. payton has mentioned he wants to play in sa.
you do not have to have the best point guard to win a ring. aj was not the best point guard.
you have the best foward, best center(shaq will retire in 2 years if not before) with oneal, a better then average point, and manu and sj=dynasy
I have a better chance of getting the MCX than Payton does in SA if they sign O'Neal. No way they can clear at least $16.5 million to do that.

Not necessarily. The value of any asset is the present value of its future cash flows. Having Jason Kidd on our team ensures nothing to the new owners other than having a Max level Liability for the next 6-7 years.from a business standpoint if they were thinking about selling the team after they sign a star fa would make sense

This was never the case when we had two superstars in David Robinson and Tim Duncan, so why would it be the case now?Kidd ensures a winner, which ensures a lot of season tickets and luxury boxes sold. Guaranteed money for every game - no need to spend a lot on advertising each game, no need to have HEB family nights where they have to sell the tickets at a huge discount, etc. People love a winner and with Kidd and Duncan plus our young core the Spurs would put one out every night. If they go out in the second you can bet that season ticket base is going down next year.
We went out in the 1st or 2nd round for years and never suffered a decline in the ticket sales- why would we now? The kind of tickets people buy as season tickets where the Spurs make money aren't the tickets you can get on HEB Night- so I don't see where that arguement applies either.
DRob wasn't a superstar after 2000, and the Spurs couldn't sell any season tickets at the Dome except after they won the le for the 99-00 season. Those promotions are done precisely because they can't sell enough season tickets to fill an arena when the ty teams come to town. People aren't going to pay for season tickets for first and second round losses. Furthermore, adding a player like Kidd to an already solid supporting group of Parker, Manu, Jax, and Malik with the MVP of the league ensures the team is a le favorite for years.This was never the case when we had two superstars in David Robinson and Tim Duncan, so why would it be the case now?

If you add Kidd to the MIX, ALL PERCEPTION OF THE SPURS IS COMPLETELY CHANGED. We all know that our team can run transition ball and has shown it in flashes of brilliance like the SJax to Manu Alley-oop. THE MEDIA AND THE REST OF THE US, they don't see that. If the Spurs brought in Kidd, The NATION WOULD EXPECT THAT BECAUSE KIDD IS HERE, THAT HOW THEY PLAY. How is that for impact?Furthermore, adding a player like Kidd to an already solid supporting group of Parker, Manu, Jax, and Malik with the MVP of the league ensures the team is a le favorite for years.
Some people hold on too tight. They want to see the current crew win a championship and then rest on their laurels because they feel that it can get better because they have yet to reach their peak. What those people fail to realize is that a guy like Kidd,can make all of the current crew, REACH THEIR PEAKS MUCH FASTER.
It doesn't take a MENSA to figure it out, all it takes is an open mind and an ability to assess how skill sets and talents intermix. Some people got a long way to go. Others...they get it but they will shout at you to listen. ME...I KNOW THE TRUTH, FOR BLACK AND OBFUSCATION IS HOW I LIVE. I AM..MIB

I think tp last season should put the end to this
A thread from the spurstalk archives.

that dude predicted they would get Rasho, AND THEY DID!!!!!
Parker didnt play great against the mavs.
I would of traded parker for kidd this time.
Kidd cant shoot for either, but at least he can PASS the ball
Parker for Nash!
