Top 5 reasons Finley should choose the spurs.

[2centsworth]

1. No drama- Miami is filled with egos (snaq,antoine, and white chocolate)

2. Maturity- Finley comes across as a grown man who doesn't want to put up with childishness like championship belts.

3. POP- The best coach of the bunch.

4. 1st class organization- Michael seems to be a "character guy". Perfect fit for the spurs

5. He can help bring back to back titles to SA, something that has never been done before. Then he can have a chance for the truly special 3-peat.

6. Won't have to play against Bruce Bowen anymore.

Yes, after south beach there's not much else. I lived and visit family all the time in Miami and that's my opinion of the place. I just love the food which is why I gain 10lbs everytime I go.

How many minutes per would you guys realistically have to offer?

If he's smart, he stays away from Miami. Williams and Walker will kill that team slowly until they just completely self-destruct.

I'm hoping the Nash/Phoenix factor comes through big-time on this, but even still, Finley isn't Johnson, no matter what the stats say.

Just a note: The difference between the Spurs' $2.5M and the Heat's $5M is much less than it seems this season because he won't get the full amount from either because of the Amnesty Clause. He would get about $1.6M from the Spurs and $2.8M from the Heat.

Yea, your right. It really sucked those 3 years in a row when Shaq and Kobe had their big egos get in the way of winning those 3 strait titles. :rolleyes

Something tells me that if Shaq and Kobe could somehow get it done in that crazy town and with their hatred for 3 years, then Shaq and a few other players who all put together do not have half the ego of Kobe, can get it done for at least 1 year.

Have you looked at your new heat team?

Besides I wouldn't call Shaq's "ego", an ego. He's 10x more mature than the other idiot.
Shaq had other players without egos except for his final year in LA.

He had other players to look around for as teamates.

Shaq and Kobe at least had games that complemented each other nicely. Now Miami's got a bunch of bad shooters who all want the ball. Were 'Toine, Shaq, Finley, Jason Williams, and Wade to be on the court at the same time no one would ever pass the ball. Ok, so Dwayne Wade might, he's a solid player. But there aren't going to be enough touches to go around. Not to mention the hell that will be that team's lack of chemistry. Most of the Lakers got along fine (notably excepting Shaq/Kobe), this Heat team bears little to no relation to the 2000-2004 Lakers squad.

But do you honestly think Miami is signing players blindly? The Heat front office would not commit suicide as some have mentioned they were basically doing by signing all these players.

You think Shaq has not discussed the season ahead with all the new players in question.

They all want a ring, including Shaq.

How can you say they're not commiting suicide with such certainty? The Mavs did it for years and it sure looks like Phoenix did it this offseason. The ONLY chance this team has is that Shaq's ego and will is so dominating that he imposes his ideas on everyone else. I don't see it happening though. Too much pride. Although if anyone can do it, Shaq can.

Finally, you think there are NBA players that don't want rings? A desire for rings didn't help Shaq/Kobe/GP/Malone to gel.

They did what they thought they had to do. I think that it will be fine, actually, I think it will be better than fine because I predict them to win it all in 2006.

However, even with all the uproar over egos and such, I think Shaq will keep them all in check and make sure that things flow smoothly.

Now, I do not want to turn this into a fight, but it is just like Shaq said after that game.

"One lucky shot deserves another."

Duncan made a lucky one so had *luck not played a part with Duncan's shot, then there would not have been a lucky shot from Fisher and we would not be talking about this.

What exactly is the standard level of performance that a team with 4 HOF'ers should be at?

Now, keep in mind, 2 of those HOF players in question were already passed their prime.

Regardless, Detroit won that year.

Shaq is gone and now has a new task.

My 2 cents? Shaq and Miami win 60 games and win the title over Houston in the Finals.

This Heat team will click fairly quick, I think.

I dont think the Heat team will click quickly. White chocolate didnt click in all the years with the Kings or the Grizzlies. What makes you so sure he will click now? I also think that SVG will put the ball in Wade's hands to get the ball into Shaq. How do you think White Chocolate is going to respond? Easy. Everytime he gets the ball hes going to shoot it. So much for team chemistry.

Walker maybe a 50-50. He will try fitting intot he team and will give the Heat an energy guy full of heart. But he needs his shots to be effective and when it comes to defense he aint very good. Walker also likes the ball to be in his hands like a point forward so what will all this leave the Heat?

Potential problems down the road unless SVG can really find a way to define their roles and make them happy at the same time. But at this point in time, I cant phathom how hes going to do it. I would venture naming him Coach of the Year if he does it and Miami wins the championship.

[milkyway21]

if the Spurs lose a game or two Duncan doesn't mind taking all the blame for not making extra effort leading his team to take the W.

unlike;

Shaq who sometimes get the media's and teammates attention using his usual "some players didn't take extra effort for us to win the game". (go ask Horry).

[Obstructed_View]

13. No pressure to perform so he won't be hated when he disappears in the playoffs.

[Extra Stout]

My 2 cents? Shaq and Miami win 60 games and win the title over Houston in the Finals.My 2 cents. The Heat start the year with horrible chemistry. Shaq's touches go way down because his teammates stop feeding him the ball. Wade has to freelance to get his points. The locker room is full of whining and complaining about roles and minutes. After the Heat struggle to a 22-19 start, Stan Van Gundy is fired, and Pat Riley takes over the coaching reins.

Antoine Walker gets benched, then suspended, and ultimately cut from the team. Riles gives White Chocolate a "Come to Jesus" talk, and slashes his minutes until he starts playing under control. JWill responds. With the cancerous presence of the NBA's worst player gone, and with JWill toeing the line, Shaq and Wade are free to do their thing, so the Heat go on a huge roll, and finish 57-25, capturing the #2 seed. Their bandwagon grows heavy.

The Heat roll through the first two rounds before falling to the Pacers in Game 7 of the ECF at Conseco.

[Extra Stout]

Oh, by the way, Finley's best option is still Miami. Once Riles is done trying to sabotage SVG and takes over himself, Finley will find he has a nice role there.

[Marcus Bryant]

Who knows? Maybe Finley is looking for something more than great nightlife and carrying Shaq's water. Maybe Finley is about going to the place that offers the best shot at a title and shuns the hype. Yeah, it's a pipedream but maybe Finley would actually take less money to be in such a situation. That's the way Finley ends up being a Spur. Hopefully the Spurs lay it out just like that. If he opts for more $ in Miami, nobody can fault him for that and considering the challenges that lay ahead for the Heat in establishing a rotation and fitting the new guys in, they are still a serious contender to win a title.

[CaptainLate]

Maybe Horry should be going with Pop, too. Explain why he was willing to take less $$ to be with the Spurs. Mention that with Shaq's body breaking down because he didn't take care of it, Detroit signing DD and Artest back with Pacers, Heat won't even get out of the East.

[Obstructed_View]

The fact that Finley is milking this so long is proof to me that his ego just can't get enough of the Finley-Love-Fest. The Spurs aren't going to drop to their knees to try to get him. Finley should know by now about the problem with only having one basketball, and he should probably join either of the Western conference teams as a result.

Top 5 reasons:
- Spurs will win a championship next year with or w/out him
- Bowen will be on his side
- He'll have a real coach this time
- Imagine when Spurs go small Barry,Manu,Finley, Horry, Duncan on the floor WOW
- Best forum in the world will be talking about him daily

[HotAssComic]

Finley will be a Heat... 5 REASONS:
- SHAQ, even with his body breaking down... still can't be stopped by any center... still a prescence in the paint
- Unless you were blind... did you not see Dwayne Wade in the playoffs... AMAZING!!
- More Money... this is what it always comes down to
- Atlantic Division is weak... they can take it with their eyes closed
- Rumors of Pat Riley... Don't get me wrong Stan is a good coach... but Pat will always be in the background and now the rumors are getting louder that he could come back!

[Taladro]

He will be a great addition to the team; he'll fit right in enhancing the offence of the team. On defense he just has to keep up with the rest of the team and that is not difficult when you have good people around.
Two more things.

He played for one of them already. It ain't rocket science. He likes being courted as though he had real value.

He's meeting with all potential suitors within just a couple of days, and is foregoing all the wining and dining that usually goes along with this sort of thing. He's actually handling this better than most free agents would.

[milkyway21]

Maybe Horry should be going with Pop, too. Explain why he was willing to take less $$ to be with the Spurs. .......well, Rob was already with the Lakers when he wanted to join the Spurs in 2001-02 season...

here's one proof from USAtoday after the Spurs just won their 3rd title..


...At the final buzzer, Duncan looked as relieved as he was thrilled. He's headed for rest and the offseason, where he's also the franchise's most valuable employee.

With the core of the team locked up for next season, the Spurs will only tweak their roster this summer, starting with Tuesday's draft. They pick 28th in the first round.

They'll also dip into the free agent market, which will include two of their key players — postseason hero Robert Horry and Devin Brown. That's where Duncan plays a critical role. His top-shelf talent, unselfish play and team-first attitude are attractive lures for premier free agents looking for a ring.

"We've been real fortunate in the sense of having people who wanted to stay, wanted to get signed, get it done, get it over with and having a young enough core, with Timmy obviously, as center and everything," coach Gregg Popovich said. "He makes it attractive for people because he's unselfish and people enjoy playing with him."

The power forward is in large part the reason Horry joined the Spurs as a free agent two years ago, defensive ace Bowen stayed in the fold and Brent Barry left the Seattle SuperSonics and signed a four-year contract last summer.

Horry originally wanted to come to the Spurs after the 2001-02 season. He had a chance to opt out of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, but didn't when he heard rumors of Duncan possible going to the Orlando Magic.

"I said if Tim's not going to be there, I'm not going there," Horry said. "But it worked out. Tim is the only reason."

We'll have to agree to disagree about the definition of "couple of days" and "rapidly". Finley doesn't warrant the red carpet tour any more than he deserved the bloated contract he was given by Dallas in my opinion. I also find it comical that Miami and Phoenix are treating him like he's Grant Hill after he left Detroit. They may be more right than they know. :)

[SWC Bonfire]

everyone in S.A. is waiting but NOT that hungry on Finley.

I don't know if it will be a deciding factor, but the take-it-or-leave-it attitude and straight talk from Pop & RC will probably be a plus rather than a minus. The Spurs don't have to attract more talent; that is an attraction in itself. Sweet talk before the contract is signed is just that; the more direct the Spurs are with him, the more respect they are liable to get.

That said, money talks.

Because he would deserve a judgement call.

3 reasons why Fin is will be in a Heat uni:

1-Shaq makes everyone think he is it and thats just, it. His attitude alone makes me think of "Caroline" from Outkast.
2-Seems like everyone goes with whats now. Like, the show American Idol period. Like, Miami Hurricanes fans that dissappeared... so on... . The Heat have the hype and Finley will be there with it.
3-Promises. Just like the ones made to Glove and Karl, bullshit famished promises. Only to be pissed on halfway through the year when everyone hates Finely for not producing 20 points.


minus1- He won't settle for the bench in San Antonio. He has too much of an ego to sit.


Don't be suprised if he signs with Phoenix. I'm sure he likes the idea of controlling the guards.
