Horry willing to restructure contact

[clubalien]

KABB's news @ NINE

reports that horry has said he is willing to restructure his contract to sign ben wallace! :fro

[Kori Ellis]

:wtf

Players can't restructure their contracts.

[ChumpDumper]

That's the easiest thing for an NBA player to say since they know it can't be done....


And OAI ran that at 5.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

How would Horry restructuring his contract help the Spurs sign Wallace, if it were even possible? Hell, if he "restructured" his deal so he was making NO money this year we still wouldn't have enough (any?) capspace to sign Ben...

[spurs=bling]

man you people have to stop playing with me like this.

[Leetonidas]

Damnit, got me all hyped for nothing.

[ChumpDumper]

He did say it.

He just can't do it.

And it wouldn't matter.

[Holt's Cat]

Holt made me restwuctuwe mine.

[timvp]

Holt made me restwuctuwe mine.

:lol

[missmyzte]

I was sitting here thinking, "Dude, there's Horry news that I didn't know about first?" :lol

[furry_spurry]

Rob was joking when he said he would restructure his contract because he knows he can't. What he did say seriously was that with Rasho traded, the Spurs need to find a center. I thought Tim was the center??

[dknights411]

What's the deal with this Ben Wallace fetish that's going on around here? :wtf

[milkyway21]

sounds like Tim Duncan's willingness to pay the additional $5m from his salary so Holt can re-sign Tony Parker 2 yrs ago :lol

:wakeup

but it's against the league rules.

[T Park]

I wish the NBA would allow it.

Baseball, Hockey, and football allow it.

What the fuck, why not?!?!


Of course, it wouldn't matter, still don't have enough cap space.

[SPARKY]

Maybe because NBA players prefer to not give up guaranteed $.

[rayray2k8]

I think he was just trying to get the message across.
Nice try Rob, but i dont think the spurs can afford him.

[Beer is Good]

BEN WALLACE IS NOT COMING HERE!!!

Gonna have to find a CENTER because TD is not moving from PF. To ask him to would be BS for TD - the man has earned the right to be the PF for this team. Might as well sign Nazr to as low of a contract as possible and bring Javtokas over to add some aggression and fire at the center position. We won't find any center free agents this year that will be any upgrade over Nazr. Just need to light a damn fire under the boy's ass!

[milkyway21]

i want a center who can SCORE

[NBA Junkie]

i want a center who can SCORE

You and 25 other NBA teams.

[Borosai]

I want a center who can catch a simple pass beneath the basket and dunk it.

[Dre_7]

i want a center who can SCORE

Tim Duncan.

[ALVAREZ6]

I want a center who can catch a simple pass beneath the basket and dunk it.

I want a center that can catch period :lol




fucking Nazr is so pathetic, he has no right to call himself a professional athlete...what a bum

[1Parker1]

:lol @ the Ben Wallace to the Spurs phenomona that's going around. Is this something fans cooked up and are hoping for...or has the front office or SA news reported anything like this? Because to me it seems as far-fetched as us getting Lebron James to sign with us.

[George Gervin's Afro]

what this guy said. :wakeup

[K-State Spur]

I wish the NBA would allow it.

What the fuck, why not?!?!


Of course, it wouldn't matter, still don't have enough cap space.

actually, baseball doesn't do it, but they kinda get around that through arbitration.

but in sports where they allow it, it would hurt us more than it would help. parker could come in and demand more money after his season last year. manu could have done the same after the finals in '05.

i'd just as soon leave the system the way it is.

[Taking it to the Hole]

While we are talking about Wallace, how about we really just break the bank and get Shaq. :lol

[texasqb2]

While we are talking about Wallace, how about we really just break the bank and get Shaq. :lol


I'd take Ben over Shaq these days easy

[LEONARD]

What's this "salary cap" that you speak of??? :smokin

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

What's this "salary cap" that you speak of??? :smokin

:lol

[DDS4]

Over the player's union's dead body. They will never let that happen.

[CaptainLate]

Maybe because NBA players prefer to not give up guaranteed $.

No need to give it up. Just put it somewhere else in the new (i.e., restructured) contract.

[z0sa]

Tim Duncan.

Just wait til you see Tim guarding Shaq or Yao... thatll be the day...

[boutons_]

I can't see why entire players' union is involved in prohibiting a contract renegotiation of mutual consent between player and team. No consent, the contract remains unchanged.

At $4M/year highest pro average salary per player, they could be a little more flexible.

[ChumpDumper]

I can't see why entire players' union is involved in prohibiting a contract renegotiation of mutual consent between player and team.That's why it's called collective bargaining.

The league doesn't want that to change either, because if you open up contracts to re-negotiations, they can go the other way as well. Plus, then you have to start dealing with hold-outs, trade demands, etc...

[MrChug]

Joel Pryzbilla.

[ShoogarBear]

I wish to announce that I am also willing to restructure my contract to get Ben Wallace.

If Ben comes, I will get double my present salary for facilitating this.

[1Parker1]

^I would think you'd prefer to get Shaq than Ben :angel

[ShoogarBear]

Shaq is a World Champion. Players come to him, not the other way around.

[Spurs16212]

Since Detroit is interested in Nazr why don't we do a sign and trade to include Nazr, the rights to Luis Scola, and Beno Udrih for Ben Wallace.

[bigdog]

if there is any spurs fan who wouldnt want ben wallace in SA, they must be absolutely retarded, this guy would bring an amazing defensive force to SA. spurs would have the best defense in the league, starting 3 of the best defensive players in the league, in Tim Duncan,Ben Wallace, and Bruce Bowen. only problem is the free throw shooting will suck even more than it already does. and for those of you who think Big Ben to SA is unrealistic,think again, because its a possibility. Ben obviously has serious thoughts about leaving detroit to go to another contender, because he just recently hired a new agent. but if a deal doesnt happen with the spurs and ben wallace, we could still go out and get a solid big guy. move Tim to center, and get Drew Gooden at PF. ive heard many people say that to get drew gooden would be stupid because he sucks and all this stuff, but he obviously doesnt suck if he's in the NBA,and there are alot of teams intersted in him.

[duncan2k5]

for one you can suck and be in the NBA...just ask popeye jones. and for two, drew is alright. i like the cavs too, and i see drew play a lot. he doesnt mave his head into the game most of the time, but he can finish around the basket, has nice hands, and when he feels like it, plays with a lot of heart. but he has ZERO defense. so i wont really want to see him on the spurs. at least not starting

[milkyway21]

Tim Duncan.exactly.

But Duncan's not so keen on playing center i read once

:wakeup .
