Basically, you're deep, he's not. Plus, he has bigger stars than you do.

Rudy Gay and Aldridge are on the exact same level as Iggy when it comes to considering them as a star. Portland had a worse record than us at the end of the season and all of a sudden they are considered a title contender when it comes to free agents choosing their destination? Grant Hill considered my team good enough to be a title contender and sign during free agency, yet NOONE else has?

Hell, Jodie Meeks was even my own player. I wasnt told my offer needs to be increased if I want to bring him back or even given the option to. And of course this is off an MLE that teams who had cap space shouldnt have had.

Jodie turned down 4 or 5 contracts for the minimum and jumped on the first team that valued him at more than that.

We would have increased our offer had we known that were the case.

Stolen must mean the same thing as the GM stating he didn't want him anymore.

Haha. Just moving on from it which u gonna b fun, but he was stolen... All I had to do was get Butler for Jackson and made a upgrade at PF and an average pg and we were still right there in the thick of it. Stop yapping and make that trade.

To be fair, you would still have Duncan if you didn't trade Ginobili for youth.

Aldridge is much more of a star than Iggy. Iggy is a great 2nd or 3rd piece, consummate role player type of guy. Not a star. Gay is probably better overall than Iggy too, IMO. Ratings need to be looked at for those guys.

Then Duncan, of course.
