This is What We Do in the Offseason

[Kori Ellis]

For anyone who hasn't been through a SpursTalk offseason, this is what we do.

Marcus Bryant (and anyone else who wants to do so), starts threads that say, "Draft Prospect: ..." Then timvp, will make a directory list that links to each of those threads and stick the list at the top of the forum. The directory will allow you to conveniently find a specific player.

We do the same thing with "Free Agent: ..." but the draft comes first.

Don't be overwhelmed by the number of threads. They will drop down if they aren't hot topics. It's just what we do to get organized.

Chime in and give your opinion on the prospects (and free agent possibilities). It's actually quite fun. Even if the players won't ever be a Spur, it's fun to learn about them.

also fun for fans for other teams here like piston fans

[Das Texan]

this is one of the things that makes this place such an awesome board.

Are the draft prospects measurements with or w/o shoes?

Dont put too much stock into the height's given on their profiles.

The pre-draft camp has accurate measurements ie height (with and without shoes), weight, standing reach etc. They should be released within the next fortnight.

I was here last year for it and it was very enlightening especially to see who we'd never get....

I appreciate this part of the off season. Thanks for all the hard work into putting this together for us to read and talk about.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Hell yea, I love the draft prospect:/free agent: threads. :clap

[ECZ]

Well, this is the first year I will be experiencing this so I can't wait to see what the fuzz is all about.

GO SPURS

[Mr. Body]

The directory was a fantastic idea.

[curtismedellin]

[GhostofAlfrederickHughes]

All we're missing is Mel Kiper, Jr!!!

[freemeat]

Kori ~ you rock!

Thanks for the head's-up, because I plan to be here all summer!

Let's do this! Even-numbered year again!

I Believe in FIVE!!!!!

Yo, NuGGeTs-FaN......

How 'bout we trade you guys, Horry, Finley, Oberto, Vaughn, and Stoudamire for A.I. & Carmelo? Think about it---Denver gets a whole, hell of a lot of experience and we get instant offense! Sounds like a hell of a deal to me. Heck, Pop will straighten out Carmelo and get him off the sauce and we'll even dedicate our Championships in 2009, 2010 & 2011 to the Denver Nuggets. I'm sure Karl will go for it since he used to be a Spurs player himself. Teams from the old ABA that trade together, win Championships together! Or something like that...

:flag: :lobt2: :lobt2: :lobt2: :lobt2: :flag:

[SouthTexasRancher]

Here's my opinion about what the Spurs should do in the off-season this year: fuck off and die. Seriously.

Where's the love, dude? The Phoenix Suns will one day win a Championship! That is, as long as you guys drop out of the Big League and start playing in the 'D' League! :ihit

i feel a little dumb for asking, but what exactly are MLE, LLE, and trade exceptions?

[Kori Ellis]

If a team is over the salary cap, they get exceptions so they can still sign free agents. The MLE is Mid-Level Exception. It's worth between five and six million.

Start reading here:

and ask questions in this thread. I'm not a cap expert, but some people here really know a lot about it and can answer any questions.

Did you actually use the word "fortnight'?

Geeziss ...

yeah. michael beasley was measured to be 6'8" only instead of 6'10" in orlando pre draft camp...that might affect the top teams decision about him.
