That Iver whatever guy is okay.

Oh get off it you fucking drama queen queef snorting dumbass.

Though I think Denver would match any offer if the Spurs can get JR Smith to sign a deal then they need to do it.

With Maggette, Pietrus, Posey, James Jones and possibly Delfino already off the market there's no harm in risking it now.

It's not like they'd be missing out on anybody except Azubuike.

That's a good question. If the Spurs sign Kelenna, then that should make Udoka tradeable, if he wasn't already. Kelenna is basically a better scoring Udoka.

Azubuike is kinda like the athletic version of Udoka. But then again he's British so that may be nullified.

No offense Sequ.

If they make an offer, don't they lock up that money until the Nuggets match?

I see your point I think he would be as good a fit as meggette and he is much younger. If we dont get him I think we could be in some trouble.....maybe look to a team like Min or Orlando who both now have a glut at Sg and see if one will give us one on the cheep

Posey and Delfino are both on the market. Those rumors concerning those two guys are weak. But yeah, the rest of the players you mentioned look to be signed.

I think that the Spurs can rescind the offer if something better comes along or if they have a strong feeling that the Nuggets will match it.

They wouldn't get a strong feeling until the very end, when everyone else could be gone.

That would be more like a sinking feeling.

With Maggette off the market I wouldn't be surprised if Boston gives in to his demands of the full MLE. So either NO or Boston I think are the odds on favorites for him.

Delfino . . . ugh. I think I might rather risk Hairston as the opening day starter after an unsuccessful offer sheet with JR Smith.

I agree that Delfemale is not a preferred end result to this offseason.

If this happen than we're completely fucked. Are you fucking serious? At least try JR or Kelena first

Last year he started every game at Pg with smith at the 2 anthony the 3 martin the 4 and camby the 5.....the nuggets are thin at both G pos.....

I think I will shoot myself if Delfino is out starting SG.

But realistically, you don't need duplicates of that particular skill set. Other than providing some more swing depth, I'm not sure how that helps them in their weak areas.

Try for JR Smith, Childress, or Azubuike Any one of those would still be a big win for the Spurs...

Save your ammo. If Delfino gets signed, Manu moves back into the starting lineup. It was Finley's terrible play off the bench that typically moved Manu into the sixth man role.

We could do a lot worse than Delfino, he is athletic and can shoot and get to the rack.....not gonna be an all star but better than Fin or Barry or God forbid we start Udoka at sg and bowen at the 3..........I dont think I could watch that!!

The reason I really want JR is because we need scoring, not defense. JR can man up, but he is athletic and he can shoot the hell out of the ball.

Kelenna would be a big time consolation to JR.

Delfino is Jack's dumb plays without the good ones.
