Re: OT: Around the NBA (offseason thread)
Just a note, Spurs is a small market team, so they can't really afford to toss their money around like Cuban.
There IS reason why this small market team won 3 rings already...

Now I take over as their GM, and the first move I make is the drafting of T-Mac.
Looks like there's a new sheriff in town.

I was debating whether to pick up Amare or T-Mac, but I figured there are so few good centers around....

SA population is larger then Dallas...I think that makes them a big market plus theyre the only show in town...
Houston 2,016,582 601.7 Southeast Texas
San Antonio 1,256,509 412.1 South Texas
Dallas 1,213,825 385.0 North Texas
now if your talking Metropolitian areas...

Re: OT: Around the NBA (offseason thread)
Wow Bonzi must have been asking for something wild. Well, too bad for Bonzi and Artest. One is going 6 feet under and the other is going to Jail for.
Wow I wonder where Bonzi is going, he's not going to the Pacers anymore. I really hope somehow he goes to the Hornets. Paul, Wells, Peja, West, Chandler would be sick.
I can also see him heading to the Magic

Yeah, I was actually referring to metroplexes. Metro Houston and Dallas are both way bigger than that in San Antonio. Without a doubt, Spurs is the only show in town there, and that's why there are so many billboards promoting the team (at least when I travel there, that's what I see).
Another huge discrepancy I noticed during the playoff last year: tickets cost WAY MORE in Dallas than in San Antonio because of supply-and-demand. Around $300 dollars would get you upper level seats, and anything in the lower-level would run $900+/ticket in Dallas. On the other hand, Game 7 lower-level seats in San Antonio runs around $500+/ticket.
Yes, I was tempted to drive to San Antonio for Game 7....
On the other hand, Dallas Cowboys is a way bigger cash cow in Dallas than the Mavs...
