It would give some great odds at it yeah :lol

If it helped, I'd beg David to hand him a 50.

Nope. No exceptions can be combined.

Just don't use words like bust.

My guess is 25. No wait, 33.

I wouldn't obviously outright give it to him but, if David standing at the airport with the 50 helped, fuck it, stitch it up :lol

That'd be a pretty crazy line up.

---

Especially seeings it won't happen. Bowen would start, Maggette at the 3, Manu off the bench, and that's not even getting into Barnes won't be here for the LLE or the low odds of Javtokas here.

Give us at least an hour of fun before we have to consider that.

Yeah I think he had 33 when he was in Orlando.

I don't care. Whatever number he wanted :lol

Hell yes. :toast

Remember how our plane wouldnt fly after the NO series......

Let's make sure that when Maggette's flight lands....that whatever flight he has to get on, becomes severely delayed. Take him to Ruth Criss, PF Chang's, Chris Madrid's, Rudy's, Landry's in the Tower, Piedras Negras de Noche, and the Dominion

only 2 other teams can offer more money, and one of them is unlikely to do so, given their status(Grizzlies). Besides, I doubt he'd want to go to a horrible team like MEM.

the other is Philly, who is targeting Josh Smith, but I don't know that he would work well with Iguodala, since they are kind of the same type of player.

Would feel better if this was a Ludden article, but oh well.

Good point. Hopefully the Express-News keeps Spurs fans abreast of the situation.

How do you S&T two guys GS has expressed no interest in for a guy GS doesn't want?

Udoka doesn't fit Nellieball, neither does Oberto (too slow).

Man, I hope not. I hope Maggette looks at it in a way that he may play for a Championship contender.

please let get it done

are we then allowed to combine the LLE with the trade exemptions to sign another top caliber FA, let's say a Matt Barnes?

---

Forget the trade exceptions. Barnes will get an offer for more than the LLE.

Funny that Wojnarowski would break this and not Ludden.

It being from yahoo and all.

OK, I like Maggette, but let me throw just a bit of cold water here. He's a whole 2 years younger than Manu, and 6 older than JR Smith. He's not really the healthy type, and both Doc and Dunleavy hated him as much as Byron and George hated Mr. Smith. This isn't an angel, and he ain't particularly young, although by Spurs standards, he could be considered so. He plays on average 65 games a year.

I like the rebounding and the FTs.
