He's another Steve Smith -- he's washed up but it'll be nice to see him get a ring.
Somewhere in the playoffs he'll hit a big shot and a national announcer who doesn't know any better will say, "That's why they got Michael Finley."
He'll be like a mascot. Emcee Brent Barry will needle him on stage at the Alamodome after the river parade. Then they'll send him on his way.
He has a player option for next season to ruin your plan. :lol :)Quote:

It' has nothing to do with money.Quote:

I think there is a better chance of him pulling out of this slump than of it continuing the entire year. With shooters the main issue is confidence. When he strings together a small steak of good games, then I believe he can bust out of this slump.
I'll admit that after the last game I thought he might be reaching a turning point but he looked flat out awful in tonights game. I think he forced the issue a lot early and almost went into panic mode because he missed his first few shots. But I'm no where near ready to give up on him yet. Maybe come February if he's still completely sucking a trade would be ok, but right now I don't understand how you get better by trading Finley.
Oh, I do think Bruno's argument is off. Everyone on this team is tradeable outside of the big three, and I have a feeling that none of those are completely safe if the right deal came around.
That would be great. :clapQuote:

If Spurs get a great offer they can trade Finley but trading Finley just for trading Finley is stupid to me. It will hurt Spurs more than help them.
Finley's salary is quite low, even if he sucks he isn't a big concern unlike Rasho/Barry who have bigger contracts.
I agree with MIG, but damn Finley is really pissing me off right now.
Exactly.Quote:

I don't know. I don't see Finley getting much better. He might have 1 good game out of each 10, but out of those 10 he'll probably cost us 2 or 3. Why? because Pop keeps him in so long, it hurts us bigtime.
Pop can do whatever he wants regular season, we might not even get 60 wins, or win the division. But come playoff time, if Finley sucks his first 5 mins, bench him for good!
Pop does seem to have a different standard for Finley than his usual "whoever is playing best gets the minutes" policy. I don't understand it.
When Finley is playing so bad why not give Williams a shot at SF--or stay with Barry? Barry may pass up a shot or two (often getting an assist that nobody counts), but he's a better fundamental player than Finley and who can argue that Finley's better at shooting right now?
This thread = gold :fro
how do you know he does not care about winningQuote:

Think about it, there's a reason someone cuts a player that he still has to pay $17+million a year for 2-3 years. He was just not consistent enough and that's what the Spurs are getting. But at least it's not costing them much.
SPREEWELL :lmao
Chip is one of or the best shooting coach, get to know him Finley.
Findawg for a salary match and 2nd Round pick.
That wouldn't do any good.
2nd Rounders (late at that) Parker and GNob. :rolleyes :lol
