2 million dollars might keep us from a dynasty
*Provided he doesn't come to his senses today.
him.
He's been one lucky NBA owner. He ended up with the best player in the NBA through the draft, a player who is gracious and conscientious enough to stick with the team who originally drafted him when he's twice had the option to leave.
He had another superstar who also stuck in small market San Antonio when he could have left for bigger and brighter things.
He got his way and the NBA adopted small market friendly rules on player contracts, screwing his best player out of roughly half of his otherwise lifetime earnings in the process.
He had a city give him a sweetheart arena deal.
His front office gave him a championship level supporting cast through pluck and luck, with some of the talent costing relative peanuts for years.
He has some talented players who are willing to stay in small market San Antonio and play for less than they could make elsewhere even now.
He has fellow members of his ownership group who allow him to control a NBA team and enjoy the prestige of being a 'NBA owner' through their economic clout and connections.
Pretty ing good for a bulldozer salesman, I'd say.
No excuses.
2 million dollars might keep us from a dynasty
Agreed.
that ing er.
Calm down now. Holt is just a bit drunk and isn't what we think right now. Alcohol can do evil things to a person.

Myself, MB and select other number of posters have been calling for Holt's head for some time now. If he wasn't willing to spend his money, he needs to find someone who will. Or at least step down as chairman.
Now he's on the verge of destroying a potential dynasty over $2M.
Enough is enough.
timvp, while I dont like Holt at this moment, who do you suggest would buy the team and keep it in SA? The list I have is empty. There just isnt those types of people in SA. Maybe Michael Dell in Austin, but I dont think hes interested.
dont be making sense now gospurs.
SBC, HEB, USAA and several other huge corporations have stakes in the Spurs. In fact, Holt doesn't even own half the team. He either needs to sell off his shares or step down as chairman.
Simple.
HOLT!
Don't worry. The Spurs have total control and they have a long history of being successful in this league. Parker's agent is known to cause trouble and is actually messing up chances for a new contract. I put my faith in this organization to do the right thing even if Terry Porter, Malik Rose and Antonio Daniels have to fill in for Tony Parker.
Go Longhorns!
you Holt.
Be a man Peter. If you truly have any passion for the Spurs you will pony up the dough.
Its not like Parker is asking for the world thus cripping the franchise economically speaking.
Stop playing this hardline financial stance. It works for some players....it doesnt work as a hardline rule.
How the did this bulldozer salesman become so successful if he remains unopen to going 'outside the box'
God damn.
MB And I don't agree much in the political forum, BTW go check it out,
But here in the Spurs Forum? I agree with himm 100% screw that beer drinking Dean Martin wannabe Peter Holt. He is the reason you did not ge Kobe.
Nie powiem jestem wkurwiony i jak Holt tego nie zmieni to będę wkurwiony przez cały sezon. Pierdolić to i jego decyzje.
I won't translate this because it could place me in Jail.
(I'm little worried about that Parker situation)
MB, I couldn't agree with you more. Holt is being a d!ck and is really jobbing the San Antonio phans. What an a-hole!

Holt need to spark one up
Tightwad ass Holt needs to posny up some $ to keep TP
you know its bad when Pop says something!!!
If these companies have so much power then why cant they just remove Holt from the chairman spot and buy him out?
I dont agree with what Holt is doing, but I am not sure what anyone can do about it.
I suggest season ticket holders call the Spurs office and threaten to cancel next years renewal. I would be willing to go this far would you TIMVP?
I just wish we could sign him right now so that we can move on and enjoy the season rather than having this hang over us for the rest of the year.
It doesn't matter whether there are other prospective owners or not. There is no excuse as to why this owner has made this decision. Perhaps it is the luxury tax. Well, the Spurs have received at least $20 million in payments from the league over the last 3 years. Maybe it's hard to wean himself off of that.
My guess is that Holt has picked this fight for a number of reasons. First off it is posturing for next summer's CBA negotiations (the 'gee, I can't afford to keep good players under the current rules' argument). Secondly, my guess is that Holt (and possibly Pop, despite his public protestations) believes that if they lose Parker then they can get some talent back in a sign and trade, he believes that Parker is not a key to the long term success of the club, that with Tim Duncan and Ginobili this team will always be a serious contender and that every season will yield some playoff cash, and that perhaps Udrih can be the starter for the 3 years after Parker leaves (you know that 28th pick rookie contract of Udrih's looks mighty tempting to Holt).
I trust Pop in these matters. I respect the Spurs' insistence upon drawing a line, and the contract offered to Parker would still make him the third highest paid pg in the league.
But if Pop says that two million more is fair, I think Holt needs to trust him. Parker should be content with what was offered to him, but if Pop needs a couple million to get it done, it's a shame that Holt won't even consider budging.
Holt isn't going to step down. It might be best for the franchise in the long term, though.
Holt:
La reconcha de tu madre! Dos palos no es nada para tu billetera llena de verdes, re mil hijo de puta. Pone la guita y dejate de hinchar las bolas. La ciudad de San Antonio, y los fans de todo el mundo, te lo demandan.
Gordo conchudo!
Ahhh . . . now I feel better . . .
Hala chingada! (spelling?)
