Because Peter Holt is a cheap bas .
Why do we get all these decent players, then let them go? Pops was our latest that we had, now he is in toronto ripping it up...we had barbosa, scola, Hedo, Beno, the list goes on...just venting...

SJax is the one that got away.
Pops isnt exactly posting 20 and 10...calm down
They know what they are doing. Look at all the great players, they didnt let go. thats what you dont see
Now that I think of it...Pops was just a D-league player...nothing too special there yet. The Barbosa pick was made for the Suns, not for us. Hedo sucked balls when he was here, now 4 years later is doing good in Orlando. Beno blowed..enough said. The FO should get some credit for bringing in guys like Mason and KT...and drafting Hill as well...like someone else here said...they know what they're doing.
barbosa was a draft day trade; never played for spurs.
Hedo? not much different that Bonner.
beno? you're kidding right?
scola? I'll give you that one.
Scola and Stephen jackson are the only big ups know of. Beno sucks ass and hedo thrives cause there is no pressure in the regular season in Orlando.
SJAX made his own bed. SA offered him more than what he finally took from Atlanta. And for the Spurs fans who cannot grasp the concept "fiscal responsibility", this team cannot go deep into the red, the owners past and present can't allow it and won't. The 700K we went into the luxury tax a few years back cost the team over 4 million dollars. And the Spurs usually use the tax rebate to subsidize their operating expenses.
And its time to move past "woulda, coulda, shoulda over the spilled milk" that is Luis Scola. This team will operate in a fiscal manner above all else and has for years. It's not an option or a debate and Holt isn't required to go into debt to service your spedthrift - spend like a drunken sailor" ways. The team has exceeded every team in the most prudent fiscal means because IT HAS TO and ask Dallas, and New Yorks, championships can't be bought.
Overrated my ass.
Great post jwest
well said
Your probably right. Without the lucky ping pong ball in 97, I'm pretty sure Pop and R.C would be coaching back in the college ranks or perhaps Europe. Fortunately enough they got lucky and were able to draft a player by the name of Tim Duncan. Talk about job security.

LOL typical idiots..
do you guys realize how difficult it is to be a contender EVERY YEAR since '98? do you guys realize how difficult it is to win 4 les in that short span? do you guys realize how difficult it is to build a future without ANY lottery picks?..
we have a great team, a lot of talent..sorry to break it to you..
#2 in the West despite major injuries and major chemistry issues due to new players and injuries..pretty impressive..
Pops has done nothing when he's played against actual rotation players..he's putting up numbers in blowouts and against other teams scrubs..his major flaw is defense, which is the same flaw as Gooden..
stop reaching..
the dificulty level decreases greatly when you have the greatest PF in NBA history, 4 les with TD is far from exceptional. but you keep thinking that they're perfect, Front Offices love fans like that
^^ Ask the 20+ other teams and their fans that spend more, get less and have never won a championship.4 les with TD is far from exceptional. but you keep thinking that they're perfect, Front Offices love fans like that
I couldn't disagree more.
how many of those teams had the best PF ever? or the best anything ever? or even a top 5 at any position?
That's where I disagree the most. Sorry your battleship just got sunk.4 les with TD is far from exceptional
Would someone tell me all the front offices that did not make a mistake or two along the way? I think SA has done a great job overall. Every team has deals they regret in hindsite. ALL OF THEM.
Stephen Jackson was a free agent in 2003 and left. He was replaced by hedo for one year. They both took $35-40MM contracts in 2004. The Spurs had to resign Manu in 2004 as he had a 2 year deal initially. Do you honestly think SA could have signed Jackson, Hedo, and/or Manu in 2004 each of them getting pretty large contracts that would exceed $100MM in total. On top of that, Parker was resigned within a year or two of that for over $60MM.
You live in a fantasy land if you think SA could have kept all these guys under the fiscal constrants given the FO has to operate under. The Spurs kept the right guys because they have two trophys since 2003's championship.
BTW, I'm glad Barbosa was taken for the Suns and we used that #1 pick we got to trade for Nazr M in 2005 which was a key to winning the 05 le. It was a short term, but positive deal.
Oh I see, yes your disagreement is far more powerful the second time you voice it, I wonder what would happen if you disagreed a third time

It is exceptional, it is remarkable, and it truly means something when a Abdul Jabar has 6 rings in the modern NBA. It was IMO, an idiotic remark.4 les with TD is far from exceptional
I STILL couldn't disagree more. Grasp it.
so you still refuse to acknowledge the greatness of TD? or do you think that our FO is somehow better than other FO's because we obtained TD while they could only aquire lesser talent for the same money
oh well, as long as you keep comparing us to the trash of the league instead of to our own full potential, you will be happy.
WTH?

You're making no sense at all. It was your statement that his four les were "far from exceptional".
Let me know when you figure out what the heck you are talking about while you accuse me of ignoring the greatness of Tim Duncan and his 'unexceptional' four les.
Good post.
It's easy to tell someone else to spend their money.
And another thing...Keeping Tim, Tony, & Manu together and winning 4 ships' in the last 9 years > Beno, Hedo, and anyone else the Spurs have "screwed" up on.
