Spurs/Clippers Trivia Contest - May 15, 2012

[timvp]

Whoever answers these three trivia questions correctly will either get their name bolded or, if they're already bolded, get a spur under their name.

All three questions involve the Spurs and the Clippers and the time frame for each question is the 1990s.

1. A Clippers free agent had a verbal agreement to join the Spurs. However, when another team came in offering more money, he broke the verbal agreement and signed with that other team. Name this player.

2. The Spurs and a Clippers free agent agreed on a three-year contract and the player signed on the dotted line. However, that player never ended up playing for the Spurs. Name this player.

3. The Spurs, Clippers and Sixers were close to consummating a three-team trade that would have landed a certain guard in San Antonio. However, that trade fell apart at the last second and the Clippers ended up trading that guard elsewhere. Name this player.


To win, post your answers in this thread and include each player's first and last name.

Good luck :hat

Murray agreed with the Spurs during the free agent moratorium but then changed his mind.

Nesby signed with the Spurs as a restricted free agent but the Clippers matched the offersheet.

The Spurs alllllllmost acquired Barry back in 1998 in a trade for Will Perdue.

Need to slightly reword this so you don't get caught, jaffs.

[Solid D]

I remember seeing their predecessor, the Braves, play at the HemisFair Arena..I believe it was the 1976-77 season. We sat behind the basket at the same end of the arena as the Baseline Bums.
