--- Quote from: M Dogg on July 02, 2010, 05:07:11 AM ---The Hawks just ruined their chance at ever getting a championship during the Joe Johnson era. They are settling for playoff teams and 5th-8th seeds for the next 3-4 years, and then as Johnson declines they are looking at never being able to sign someone to play next to him, and eventually they'll be stuck with a bad contract.
Gay to stay on the Grizzlies, okay, but a bad contract as well. I was kind of hoping the Wolves pick him up, I really want a decent team to watch in person when the Lakers come into town. After all, when I saw the Lakers vs. KG's Wolves, there was excitement and it was great basketball. Now it's one sided and there are more Laker fans than Wolves fans. But if I was the Wolves, I wouldn't sign Gay to a max contract. Max contracts should only be for players that not only win, but also give you money with jersey sales, and an increase in season ticket holders. Max contract guys, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Shaq in his prime, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd in his prime, evenually Kevin Durant, Maybe, and I mean maybe a Carmelo Anthony. There is no way in hell Joe Johnson and Rudy Gay fit the max contract standards. They are number 2 options that would be great next to a LeBron, or a Chris Bosh, but they are not someone you build a team around.

Whats frustrating is, the Spurs gave Manu that contract extension back in April. Now, Jefferson opted out, which puts us about 4 million under the cap. If they wouldnt have gave Manu that extention, right now we would be 16 million under and be in play for Lebron, Wade, Bosh or whoever. With the Spurs tradition, championships, coaching, etc...we would be in good shape to get one of the big names. Not to mention no state income tax in Texas. Whats even worse is, we would still have been able to resign Manu under the Bird rights and it wouldnt have count against the cap. I believe Jefferson too. Fuck..

We will make the playoffs. Our rebuilding stage is consisting of 50+ win seasons...not bad. You gotta remember how injured we were last year. Parker missed 26 games last season. Manu missed games, Duncan missed games. When we got healthy is when we went on that streak towards the end of the season beating Boston, Cleveland, Orlando, LA, Denver, etc. I like the position we are in right now. As far as us having some young talent waiting for when Duncan retires and to replace Manu. Blair will be a decent pro. Not a superstar, but if he gets into a starting role in the future he can be a 15-12 guy. George Hill looks like he could possibly replace Parker now...and with the trade rumors around Parker, that could be happening. I like the Anderson pick in the first round, a lot of people think he might have been the steal of the draft and even Ryan Richards in the second round. Ive watched some video on him and seems like he could be a good prospect...he will probably play in the D league this year though. And if Splitter is coming over, which it looks like he is...he could end up being a very good player. Current MVP in the Spanish league. But a year or two working with Duncan and he will be even better. If he signs, I wouldnt be surprised to see him starting at some point during the year along with Duncan. There is a strong possibility that Jefferson is gonna resign with us for less money this year...but a 4 or 5 year deal. So we wont be losing anyone, just gaining Splitter and Anderson. And possibly another FA shooter. They are looking at Anthony Morrow or Kyle Korver.
