Is Evans really that much of an upgrade over Devin? Or are the Spurs so nervous about Devin's back that they're willing to sign a player at the same level or a little worse than he is?

I think Evans is simply a pawn in the Spurs' efforts to retain DBrown as cheaply as possible.
Anyway, if he would have wanted to sign for more money or if some team would have offered more money he would have already signed.Quote:

Sounds like a possibility. I wonder if Utah will make an offer anytime soon and force the Spurs' hand.Quote:

I wish this would have stayed a amnesty casualty thread.

Supposedly they were still trying to trade him as of this morning. :lolQuote:

What a bunch of idiots. Nobody is gonna trade for Finley if they can just wait it out and get him for much cheaper. Dallas is screwed.
If Finley signs with San Antonio he wouldn't have to move so far, he would still be in Texas and with a championship team.Quote:

I was thinking about that too...but that's just too much money even for Cuban.Quote:

The Wolves showing their class by waiving a player that just had to have a pacemaker put in to stop him from dying.
No wonder that franchise won't ever amount to anything.

The dude's probably never playing again, he still gets his money, what's the big deal? Have him on the roster but not have him?
This one's interesting because it's actually gotta be some remnant of Baker's contract. What makes it interesting is that Baker himself may also be waived by Houston later today.Quote:
