    You do realize how old that team is, right? And it's getting older as I type. No need to panic over the San Antonio AARP.

    I guess Davis West wasn't bluffing. Quality depth behind that top notch starting lineup. All the Spurs need is to bring back Patty or get another quality backup PG who can pass for an average starter. The Spurs are the favorites IMO.

    Yep our division is getting more difficult by the day. I guess we will keep waiting while the Spurs just keep getting better.

    so he basically gave up guaranteed $12.6M and settled for only $1.4M, just so he can lose to lebron in round 4 instead of round 1

    Sorry I don't buy this assertion that this is a grand sacrifice.

    This is idiotic. He could have played out his contract and chased a ring for the minimum next season. He could have been traded to a contender maybe. He could have agreed a buyout.

    Something is seriously up. Giving up $11m just like that is unprecedented and in this case stupid both from a career and financial perspective.
