I think Devin wants another ring so he knows where to go.
Barkley was only 6'4". But that was with a 50" waist.
I actually think Devin will be happy with that.Quote:

Don't back problems like Devin's never really go away?
How much money would a team be willing to throw at a player who's health is questionable? I don't think the Spurs would pay too much for a risk like that. Pop & Co. are too conservative for that methinks.
I'm sure the Spurs are on top of his condition. If he had not been sidetracked by that injury he would've supplanted Barry in the playoff rotation. Then 3 years and $12 to 15 mil would be what us virtual GMs would be giving him.
Pop says that they were told by several doctors that Devin's injury is not the type that will be reoccurring.Quote:

He's probably about 6'3.5Quote:
for the record isn't devin really only 6'2"
I meant he should settle for a 2 year deal and then next year get paid like the 15 million dollar figure you are throwing out mb
He's a very nice player in the Spurs' system. Unless a team throws crazy money at him or the injury is much worse than is being let on he is worth a guaranteed deal of 3 years and $12 to 15 mil.
I think the Spurs will play it cool with Devin for a while. Other teams will look for signals from the Spurs regarding the health issue, figuring that the Spurs know more than anyone else about that. (Heck, they think the Spurs know more than anyone about everything, really, certainly about one of their own players).
I think another team will be unlikely to give Deviin any substantial offer as long as the Spurs are playing it coy. :)
That's probably why Devin's camp is trying to stir the pot now.
Yeah, Devin's injury unfortunately is going to cost him, at least for the time being.
That was seriously rude for KSAT and even below the low standards that you all have seem to have come to expect from them.
Stay tuned because A Spur from the last title run is leaving and it turns out not to have even been a player. It was only Lance Blanks! What's that all about! Blatant attempt to grab our money and screw us at the same time!
I don't know. They don't seem to be a great source of information.
ESPN insider, woai, NBA tv, all seem to be better. Save us needless angst!
Motion to boycott!
Any seconds?
:pctoss :fro
I can't blame either Devin or Spurs management if he doesn't return to SA.
Devin is a higher risk no matter how you cut it. Not sure the Spurs want to make that big of a commitment in terms of dollars or years.
On the other hand, Devin is entitled to go where he can get the most money.
does anybody really know what the salary cap (~54M) and luxury cap (10M more than salary cap) will be next year?
until then I wont really get excited about Devin leaving or not.
No one knows yet, but the guesses have been that the salary cap is around $50M.Quote:

I don't think anyone is expecting it to be that high. Chad Ford is usually fairly accurate on what it's going to be and here's what he says.
Quote:
The salary cap this year is expected to come in between $48 and $51 million. For purposes of this article, we've split the difference and used an estimated $49.5 million figure.
Devin will be back if the Spurs want him back and that's all there is to it...he's not going to get offered 6 million a year somewhere...and he wants to come back.
I think the Spurs are going to consider the fact that he has had back injuries at playoff time the past two years...but I think they will also consider how badly he wants to be a Spur, the fact that Barry and Bowen are pushing 35, and that there is really no one up n coming behind Bruce or Manu...if his back injury really isn't a recurring condition, his youth will win out.
IMO, Devin will be back and he'll be back at around the 2.5 million figure that Kori mentioned earlier...
Every time I have heard Devin talk...it doesn't even sound like he's considering being anything other than a Spur.
I also think that the team that is interested in him probably is Cleveland...
No he didn't. He had a rib injury in the 2003-04 playoffs caused by Kevin Willis dropping him - they thought his ribs might have been broken. It wasn't his back.Quote:

wasnt his back injury last season due to kevin willis suplexing him?
My bad then...I knew he was injured by Willis but I thought it was his back that got injured.
I think that if there is really no problem with his back then he'll be back...if it is more serious, he probably won't be unless he takes a low contract.
