What about Ray Allen? He could be much help for us but would you take the man who did the most soul breaking all time to you?
The long answer is....yes.Quote:

Both are up there no doubt. Kawhi trade might have the edge.Quote:

Very detailed in your approach, yet to the point, concise and easy to understand.Quote:

Finley played power forward for most of that series, so yes, he was.Quote:

And other NBA executives have taken note, as ESPN's John Hollinger explains:
[The Jefferson re-signing] raised eyebrows in front offices around the league, many of which suspected that there was a prearranged deal between the two parties. [...]
That said, we have no smoking gun that there was any kind of prearranged deal between the Spurs and Jefferson. We don't even have a smokeless gun. All we have is the circumstantial evidence above, as well as two other pieces of information:
1. The Spurs don't sign bad contracts.
2. This is the worst contract of the summer.
....
Follow the money, however. Jefferson's opt-out and lower-salaried return means the Spurs will save about $17 million in salary, luxury tax and tax distributions this year (if one presumes Splitter was coming regardless). Jefferson's new deal cost $31 million after this season, which is all we care about since the Spurs were paying him in 2010-11 either way. Subtract $17 million from $31 million and you end up with Jefferson's deal as a three-year, $14 million extension, which seems eminently reasonable … if you were going to prearrange such a thing.
