he gets paid more in europe compared to the crap nba rookie salary he be on if his brought over.....
Since the spurs aren't getting out of the free agency, I think the spurs should bring over Robertas Javtokas, seeing how the spurs need athletic bigs. Javtokas is a bigger more skilled Adriens Biedris. He would be a great fit next to duncan.

don't know a lot about him, but saw his highlights on youtube and as a result would say he is worth considering if the price is right.
Who says we can't get anything from free agency? Last time I checked, Smith, Azubuike, Posey, and many others were still there.
He isnt subject to the rookie cap is he? i thought since he was a 2nd round pick, we could pay him more because he isnt stuck in the 1st round fixed wage scale.
Spurs should be able pay him MLE because he is 2nd round pick.
Can try. But with the money he's making in the Russian League, I can't see how he would suddenly decide to turn that down and come over here to play for a rookie contract.
Yes but he isn't worth the MLE.
I already figure his worth in other thread. He is same as 3 years $12 million gross contract in NBA. So he is not worth MLE but he is worth 3 years $12 millions. And since this less than MLE and he is 2nd round pick Spurs can sign him if he want try NBA.
But many fan here seem think he accept LLE or some thing like this. Spurs will need at least be fair if they want actual get some free agents.
Javtokas sucks.
And it's a bit early to panic about free agency. Maggette was a target of opportunity, not Plan A for the Spurs this summer...
Yes but not all players work out in the NBA, which is why most of them come to the NBA on cheap contracts at first. If Javtokas were to not pan out, we would be left with a terrible center and about 4M a year wasted.
What? He's not receiving 3 years, $73 mil?
Then Spurs can not even try signs him. I don't care if Spurs get him or not. I am just stating fact. Not fantasy. "All players is take less money for glory of NBA"
Well then I guess Javtokas' dream isn't to come to the NBA.
why are we even taking anything Kill Bill says seriously? Isn't this the same stupid idiot that said Vassilis Spanoulis or someone like that is better than Kobe, Lebron, etc...?
There is no way in in the Spurs would or should pay Javtokas the full MLE.
Does not fill a need well.
Will not come over.
Bad blood on both sides potentially.
Moving on.
I'd personally consider retaining Bones and KT a free agent win, and the Spurs still have a decent chance to upgrade Finley or Horry with someone that's out there.
What? They had to know he was going to opt-out and take the MLE. He screwed them and now the Spurs have nothing else but to look at but D-Leaguers and overseas players.![]()
Wonder if his rights have any trade value? Is he better than Turiaf who just got a nice chunk from GS?
Package his rights in a trade for JR Smith, Dorell Wright? Whoever?
Point out where I ever make this suggestion. Reading skills is very poor here in this forum.
He no say you say that Spurs would pay Javtokas full MLE, he just say that it is very unlikely Spurs gives full MLE to Javtokas.
I see where Marc Gasol just signed for 3 years $10 million. Surely he could have done better in Europe with the tax free Euros. And Rudy must have taken a pay cut to play for the Blazers. Seems like players with balls and confidence still want to play in the big leagues, not in the C-league.
