But then you never have been much for paying attention...you're too busy being enamored with the sound of your own voice.
What happened to that nice Free Agent: Gary Payton thread?
I believe I encouraged travis and the other dopes to watch Game 4 of the Bucks/Nets game.
Gary Payton dropped a career playoff high 14 assists versus Jason Kidd in a win over the Nets.
Conversely, Tony Parker had 0 assists versus Stephon Marbury in a loss to the Suns.
Parker ain't ready, folks.
Imagine the past two playoffs with the benefit of Payton.
The Twin Towers might've been able to validate that 1999 le.
Oh well, here's to getting Rasho Nesterovic this summer!

Ghost, I only moved them to the FreeAgency/Draft forum, so we wouldn't lose them. But feel free to keep posting free agent/draft stuff in this forum.
So, did you watch the game, travistwitt?
I figured that would give you a crash course in Paytonology 101.
Class Dismissed.
Proving my case nicely, GhostWhiner...
What's your case?
That you don't know about the NBA outside of the Spurs?
Payton > Parker + Rose + Daniels - Smith
Dope.
Right now we could use Payton, probably him and Parker in the backcourt, that would be sweet..
Manu is great, but homeboy needs to learn how to play the other 50% of the game.... called the rightside...
You might get your wish for a Payton/Parker backcourt next season, Sequ.
Me? I would've let Parker develop in Seattle the past two years and, like, seriously compete for le with Payton instead.
Smitty and Daniels hardly come off the bench anymore.
Rose was a piece of crap until he came to the Spurs.
Sorry, those four players aren't worth turning down a perennial All-Star PG. We're talking three bench guys and an unproven PG for the best PG of the past decade.
Incredulous.
Let me put it in small words so you can understand. Maybe.
Payton < Parker + Rose + Daniels + Smith
Payton <> championships in '01 and '02
Payton <> necessary
Now run along, little boy, and ponder the truth of those statements.
Agreed....
Payton > Rose, Smith, Parker, Bateer, Buford, M. Brown, M Budenholzer, Ferry, Bowen, Manu, Jax
travis failed his homework assignment. You can't tell me that Payton is not better than 3 bench guys and Parker.
That's just dumb.
I can say that the deal is not worth it. Not for the SCRUBS we would have had to pick up to fill out the roster.
But as usual, you don't think.
You can't go through an entire season with 8 players. Idiot.
Now go back to your comic books.
travis, you make me laugh.
Even a casual NBA fan could tell ou that most playoff teams do not go much deeper than an 8-man rotation.
You do realize that Daniels and Smitty hardly play today, right?
Stick with Rose and Parker over Payton, travis. Since 2001, that's worked like a charm.
You are truly a legend in your own mind...
Look again. The Spurs haven't gone with an 8-man regular season rotation in years.
But again...actually paying attention has never been your strong suit.
And I have yet to see your proof of guaranteed championships in '01 and '02. Could it be that it can't be done?
For that answer...I await what will probably be a deafening silence.
Payton > Parker,Rose,Daniels,Smith
Don't underestimate how good Payton is, and would be with a dominant post player.
Believe it or not, there is other PG's are out there, that could put up Tony's numbers on this team, that dont have big names. Tony is good but he aint Payton good.
Claxton could probably put up 13/7 with this team, not to far off of Tony's numbers. What if the Spurs had of picked Clax up to back up Payton till 2005 and then he would be starting in his prime after Gary was riding off into the sunset.
If that deal was indeed on the table, Spurs should have accepted.
travis, as you should know by the last couple years in the playoffs, the regular season is worthless. All the #1 seeds in the world don't mean you're winning the le.
One thing that is guaranteed is that your way did not work. We'll never know if we would've won last year or this year with Payton.
And that's a shame.
travis, you make me laugh.

Stick with Rose and Parker over Payton, travis. Since 2001, that's worked like a charm.
BTW, Daniels doesn't play for the Spurs anymore... I guess you haven't been paying attention...
So tell me...how many rings has Payton brought the team(s) he's been on?
Game, set, match...
Ghost- don’t hate me for this post. I am from LA & a Lakers fan and some folks on this board consider me a bit challenged...
Payton is great. Nobody disputes that. But he is getting up in years & he commands a high salary. If he was 10 years younger I could see spending the high dollars and moving players to get him, but not at this stage in his career.
Parker is the youngest PG in the NBA right? He will continue to improve, although many folks consider him a premier point guard already.
Payton is good but we can have him this season without losing Parker. Isn't that better?
Soooo
we want payton to play with parker when???
Before he stops throwing dumbells and weights at teammates??
Or after he grows up and stops assaulting women and other people???
Just a
Question.
travis, Payton took a horsesh1t Sonics team to the NBA Finals to lose to Jordan's Bulls.
Learn something™.
Payton had a lot of talent on that team. He wasn't even a superstar yet in that year. It took him another couple of seasons to hit his peak.
Horse Seattle team? Casper, Kemp was arguably the best 4 in the game in 96. Hersey Hawkins and Detlef Schrempf were dead-eye shooters. Seattle had serious talent at 4 out of 5 positions, and that's why they won 64 games.
**** Payton now. He's too old, and I'd rather pull Kidd.
I've forgotten more than you'll ever learn. And I'm still light-years ahead.Learn something™.
That Sonics team was pretty kick-ass. Sounds like mealy-mouthed whining coming from you...
Stick to your comic books.
