Marc Stein: In a bigger surprise than Boris opting into his final year, he opted for a salad in the buffet line instead of the breaded shrimp

Gregory Popovich ‏@FakeCoachPop 20h Diaw's opting out. Sea World has more cap space.

Gregory Popovich ‏@FakeCoachPop 19h
Nevermind, Diaw's opting-in. This would be awkward if I possessed emotions.

Ben Gordon is going to be making 13.2 million dollars. Classic.

spurs should get oj mayo...he could take gary neals place

I always thought that Iguodala is a little overrated and overpaid so no surprise that he opted out. The big questions are is he going after more money or is he going after a championship since he's not a little kid anymore?

Not surprised about OJ Mayo either considering the internal problems that he had with Rick Carlisle.

No surprise about Ben Gordon either. He knows that he will not earn that type of money elsewhere.

I am disappointed in Jerryd Bayless. I thought he was one of the few good candidates out there to sign with the Spurs and take the backup PG role.

Scratch that on JR Smith. Swish should be more clear in his tweets.

Doubt that
Looks like they are going into full rebuild mode

My younger brother told me he saw a few tweets last night, that reported the San Antonio Spurs team is the favorite landing spot for both Al Jefferson, and Iggy. I was too lazy to look into it.

Cuz Marc Stein is so skinny himself right? :lol

That would be awesome. Even though that mentioned scenario wouldn't solve the backup PG situation I would still make that deal in a heartbeat.

You're right about that. What concerns me, is that I'm not even sure that Pop & RC think they have a back-up PG problem. I like Cojo, but it just doesn't look like he could ever consistently run an offense. I still believe De Colo is best back-up, he showed promise though some games, and it could be a matter or playing time and confidence that was holding him back.

Either way, that tweet had me kind of excited.

Well, I'm only telling you what I heard/saw. & nobody said anything about BOTH players coming to SA, just that both players would love to end up here.
