Then make your move. You just have to be confident. Be assertive. Don't take no for an answer.

I think devely99 is actually Morris Almond trying to get a buzz going about himself in hopes that the SA front office will actually persue him.

The best way not to get signed to the Spurs is to get hyped on Spurstalk.

The Spurs should take a look at this sharpshooting bargain.

I'm sure that RC knows who hits the wire long before anyone here does. Almond crapped out with the Jazz, a team with similar coaching and player expectations. That should maybe tell you something, that they weren't even interested in keeping him around as deep bench insurance.

He did not crap out with the Jazz. It's not like he hasn't been doing well and we just put him up for sale. Rather, it's just that the last day to extend him was today and since they didn't do it, obviously, they might as well shop him in the name of future picks/cap relief.

The reason we didn't extend him has nothing to do with his ability or demeanor. It's just economics; we're going to be about 60 million deep to Korver, CJ and Brewer. When we drafted Almond we truly thought we needed a two, as at the time we didn't know how good Brewer or CJ could be and we didn't even have Korver. As turns out, we already have three pretty damn good SG's and sadly, there just wasn't room on the depth chart for Mo Almond. But that's not the same as him crapping out. He worked extremely hard while he was here. He developed his game and his body and muscle mass are in far better shape than when we drafted him. Furthermore, he was a guy who was pretty active in the community. If we weren't so damn deep he'd of hung on no question. Mo Almond is talented enough and works hard enough to soon be a legitimately good NBA player and the Spurs should do everything in their power to get him.

My bad. OP said "available" when he's still on their roster, apparently. Not really available, then. Can't see the Jazz trading us anyone worth a damn.

The guy has some skills but is raw, not likely even if we did get him he would give us much over the next year or two. Plus he is a poor defender and a volue shooter.

His nick name is the black hole!

He never was. Jazz just didn't pick up his option for NEXT year. He's still in Utah.
