Should the Spurs participate in the upcoming bidding process?
Can the Spurs do the same with Bonner, please?
Please, no more old guys. He'll be 33 by next season...pass. Of course, better him than Bonner but I'd rather get Tyrus Thomas if the Bobcats cut him loose.Quote:

Um tired as fuck I'd 6'9 muthafuckas! He's 7ft, sign him up. He can guard Byumn or Howard.
I wouldn't mind another 7ft Center on our roster..pop can mix and match lineups for different teams...Haywood Duncan, Duncan Diaw, Haywood Diaw when Duncan goes to bench. Our only shot against the okc's and mia's is to slow the game down....we will NOT outrun and gun them. Haywood is long and can rebound...we don't need any offense from him
Even if they wanted to bid on him, the Spurs are way over the cap, so they're not allowed to.
Spurs have a vet minimum sized trade exception from trading TJ to the Warriors. That's all they can bid. Chances of a vet min bid getting Haywood are almost zero.
It worked out well for us the last time we picked up a player Dallas amnesty'd.
More Geriatric nonsense smh.
:lmao
Cuban owes this guy another 27 million dollars. That is hilarious.Quote:

Neato
Logically, I wouldn't think a team could use a TE to get an amnestied player; the player isn't being traded. Looks like Larry Coon will probably be the arbiter here.Quote:

If necessary, teams can create this cap room by waiving non-guaranteed players, but not by making trades. The team must make the cap room available immediately upon being awarded the amnesty claim.

I looked at LC's CBA and you can bid on a waivered player using a TE if it's the normal waiver process. It appears that if they are on waviers via being amnestied, you have to have cap space with no exceptions.
It is a crazy crazy world. A guy gets paid 27 million dollars to NOT play basketball for a certain team.Quote:

Pretty fucked up the cash that gets thrown around.
Bruno you are in troubbbbbblllllllleeeeeeee :lol
That's fine as long as you acknowledge that an NBA franchise grosses $100s of millions and only has to hire maybe 100 people.Quote:

Uh oh. Look out now. Kamman, Dirk and Brand ? Give 'em room.Quote:

Haywood is not old, has talent, is big and has been unmotivated in Dallas. Coach Pop would light a fire under his ass and Id love to have him as a Spur (but from what Im reading, not much of a chance.)
i would not mind at all with haywood as the fourth big.
Who cares? It's not like they're going to contend. they'll probably get the 7yh or 5th seed again and get bounced in the first round. Brand isn't very good anymore anyways.Quote:

Haywood, 32, is owed about $35 million in guaranteed money by the Mavericks through 2015. By using the amnesty, the Mavs open more cap space

That pretty much means you're a loser.Quote:

if he signs for the minimum, (which is the only number the Spurs could offer anyway) fine.
maybe he wants to pull a Finley and tell Cuban "take this, you pay me 9 million $ per year to watch me play for your most hated rival"
