Of course, I believe everything I read....
Although the Knicks contacted the agent for Karl Malone last week, team officials expect him to sign with the San Antonio Spurs. The Knicks' president, Isiah Thomas, admitted that Malone was not interested in playing in New York." New York Times

I'd rather not make the playoffs than win a ring with Karl. Its like Hitler helping out in Iraq.
Well I guess you at least don't have to worry....
Your right, because our backup PF is playing ten times better than Karl would. Karl isn't good enough to make the wolves. Good luck with him. I'm sure he'll be the savior much like Hedo was supposed to be last preseason, Ward last year and Barry this year.
Why would KNICKS team officials have any inside information about where Malone is going? The article was about the Knicks taking a shot at Malone, so obviously even these officials that supposedly expect him to sign with the Spurs don't think it's a done deal. I've still got my fingers crossed that it won't happen.
Pop said it was a no brainer to sign Malone, so I guess all the ranting and raving against it is just silly. If you cant route for a team with Malone on it, then see ya bandwagoner.
Just image how much better Malik will be next year after learning some tricks from Malone this year.
If Malone's "tricks" rub off on any of the Spurs, that would be the worst case scenario, IMO. His game is garbage. He doesn't have it anymore, so he resorts to playing dirty to keep having an impact. Not that he ever didn't play dirty.
Also, there is nothing "bandwagon" about wanting your favorite team to remain bull free. Grow a brain.
The le of this thread is a little misleading. I didn't read Isiah saying Karl would go to the Spurs. I thought the article just said that the Spurs are expected to be the frontrunner for Malone.
thomas is just upset mailman does not want to play for him
if suns and sonics keep this up
I see him maybe going there
Bandwagon fans wouldn't be old enough to remember the bad ol' days against Utah. I hate Karl Malone, and would not support the Spurs if he were on the roster. I think LJ is right. The man played a ton of years with the all time assist leader, and one of the best PGs ever, is supposedly the best all time PF, played for one of the most successful coaches ever, and has no rings. He is le kryptonite, and you will all find that out if he comes here and disappears when it counts, which he will. Forget that he won't be one of the prime contributors. I don't even want to see him get a Mitch Richmond style, gravy train ring. Karl Malone and the horse he rode after Vanessa on.If you cant route for a team with Malone on it, then see ya bandwagoner.
I don't understand this logic. Bottom line, I root for the Spurs. I don't like the Spurs because of the players on the team. I like the players because they're on the Spurs. I'm not in favor of signing Karl, but I can swallow my pride while he's here and go back to hating him when he's gone. I want the team to win, first and foremost.
Not that it really matters if you or I root for or against them.
Yeah, le kryptonite. Let's see, he lost out on it all to:The man played a ton of years with the all time assist leader, and one of the best PGs ever, is supposedly the best all time PF, played for one of the most successful coaches ever, and has no rings.
Bulls (Jordan) x 6
Houston (don't think Spurs fans want to go there) x 2
Spurs (yeah, they suck, Karl choked) x 2
LA (Shaq, Kobe, and Captain Clutch Boby Horry) x 2
That's basically the prime of the Karl/Stockton years right there, but I could see why Karl is " le kryptonite".
I mean the Bulls with Jordan, Lakers with the group they had for the back to back run, and don't even get me started on those sorry Houston and San Antonio teams...
Why penalize the current group of Spurs if Pop wants to sign Malone? I'll tolerate Karl winning a ring if I can watch the rest of the good guys celebrating on a new DVD.
Karl needs the Spurs more than they need him. Although I would hate to see Malone win a ring, it's almost more pathetic to tag along with a certain Championship contender that arguably could have won it all without you anyway.
His career story has been written. He's one of the greatest PFs of all time and a monumental asshole... and no piece of jewelry is going to change that. Bring him on.
Amen.Why penalize the current group of Spurs if Pop wants to sign Malone? I'll tolerate Karl winning a ring if I can watch the rest of the good guys celebrating on a new DVD.
Exactly. He's not in their ing class. Is Malone only to be criticized for not winning if it's the 79 Sonics or something taking it?Yeah, le kryptonite. Let's see, he lost out on it all to:
Bulls (Jordan) x 6
Houston (don't think Spurs fans want to go there) x 2
Spurs (yeah, they suck, Karl choked) x 2
LA (Shaq, Kobe, and Captain Clutch Boby Horry) x 2
Malone. I won't support this team with him on it either. I could live with Malone if he only did one of 1) going out to injure the other team's players - or - 2) flopping and flying every time Matt Maloney or Avery Johnson touches him... but if he comes here to try to bandwagon a ring from a team good enough to do it without him I'm becoming Cavs fan for the year.
base,
You could say the same about David until Tim came along. Did you hate having him on the Spurs?
Same for Olajuwan, before the right talent was put around him.
I just don't get all the "bandwagoning". We need a thug on this team. Karl Malone is a thug, albeit a more notorious one. Do you feel Rasho would be bandwagoning a ring if we won one?
Because I guarantee Karl would fill up the box score more than Rasho, and like I said - he can take on the tough interior post defensive assignments, do the dirty work, and grab some boards.
It'd be bandwagoning if the guy was going to just come sit at the end of the bench, but I'd venture that if he's not starting, he would see the most most minutes of any big man off the bench.
If malone joins SA, I will stop being an spurs fan. I hate malone. It's a ing little girl than will never win nothing and will bring bad luck to SA. And he is really old!!!
To be fair, people used to say the same about DRob.It's a ing little girl than will never win nothing and will bring bad luck to SA.
As much as I hate Malone I won't stop being a spurs fan if he comes here. Here's the way I see it, the Spurs don't have to deal with Malone if he acts up. He's going to be here because he wants to win a ring and the Spurs can win it w/out him.
wow.... you people must be joking.. you're going to Quit being a Spurs fan if karl malone is added to the roster?????!!.... I'm astounded at the number of people that feel this way... I wont sit here and claim that I was around for Malone's Jazz days or anything that took place between him and the Spurs while he was in Utah. But I Have heard the stories and I Have seen the footage. The man was playing his heart out for the benefit of his TEAM. Is that not what the NBA is all about? If it's not then I took interest in this sport for all the wrong reasons.....How can any of you justify claims that he would be a drama queen, or that he would become a cancer, or disrupt the chemistry... all that crap. The guy will come here and play his "A" game and give it his all to benefit the TEAM. If he doesn't then he will ride the bench all season long. But you KNOW that wont happen, Karl is a compe or and he will give everything he has got to help the Spurs to a championship (I think he proved how much of himself he is willing to give by his performance in the post season last year). If any of you "Spurs fans" want to bail because of the addition of one guy to an already great team then that is fine... Spurs dont need you, we dont need you, take that whiny bull somewhere else.
If your loyalty is that shallow...get the out now, you are not needed.If malone joins SA, I will stop being an spurs fan. I hate malone. It's a ing little girl than will never win nothing and will bring bad luck to SA. And he is really old!!!
Conventional wisdom places Malone in San Antonio though I've yet to see Miami taken out of the running in the court of gossip. Should Malone go to Miami then he would be perceived as taking the slightly more difficult route to bandwagoning on a championship. O'Neal and Malone combined did a good job on TD in last season's playoff series and the path to the Finals in the East looks somewhat better for Miami with Indiana's implosion and Detroit's struggles thusfar.
What concerns me about Malone is his health and the adjustments the team would need to make to work him into the rotation. For all of the off court LA drama he has shown himself to be a professional when it comes to playing the game. The likely scenario is that he comes to SA, plays hard, encourages Rasho to play hard, is well liked by his teammates, and his stint here would be drama free.
At this point in his career Malone is a hired gun, much like Elie, Kersey, Porter, and Horry. They were brought in to fill a role and that would be the case with Malone.
