Spurs can't get Dorrell Wright without trading a player like Finley.Quote:

IMO, they will keep the roster spot open to save money and wait until the deadline to see if an interesting vet will be available.
nooooooooooooooooooooooo............ It is back !!!Quote:

The Heat can offer anyone the $951,066 he'll have left on his contract on trade-deadline day to take Wright off their hands, likely adding a sweetener for the trouble (for instance, either more cash or one of the two second-round picks they got from the Hornets on draft day last year).
Spurs are over the cap, they need a trade exception big enough to take Wright salary ($2.9M). Spurs don't have that trade exception.Quote:

If the Spurs were able to save some money, then this is a good deal all around.
Good luck Haislip.
And it's nice for Spurs to have a team in Greece willing to pay salaries of Spurs' garbage (Haislip and Spatula).
Spurs cannot take another player on via trade without giving another player up because they are over the cap. The only way they could get Wright without a trade is if he is waived.
Most definitely, although I think Span could have helped if his head was right. But this Haislip thing is a very nice bailout on a move that did not workout.Quote:

Haislip was never going to play for the Spurs. The Spurs had an opportunity to cut him and his salary, its a no brainer.
That's probably all it is and not a precursor for anything else.
You were wrong about Haislip and I was right. The forum never should have trusted you as a source of European basketball.Quote:

Is that before lux-tax implications? Meaning is it twice this amount?Quote:
