Udoka's next stop? Looks like the Spurs

[Obstructed_View]

Not odd for this FO.

They're playing it cool. They don't feel any more pressure to get a deal done now, than they did three weeks ago when the agent was pressuring a bigger deal.

This deal will get done and get done on the timeline that the Spurs are comfortable with. It's apparent by the reported $$$ involved that the Spurs are the only real suitor for Udoka left and that Udoka's preference is clearly to play with SA.

Perhaps the Spurs are looking to finalize the buyout/waiving of Spanoulis before committing the $$$ to Udoka. Or perhaps they're exploring the trading of Beno Udrih.

Bottom Line: This deal will get done because there's mutual interest and the $$$ aren't that far apart....but it may take more time.

Yeah, that makes sense. Jumping to deny the report just makes negotiations harder, and there's no point in that, particularly if you are holding all the cards.

I don't know how a contract can be "done" except for deciding whether the second year is a team option or a player option. That's a huge difference. That second year is more than half of the contract.

Either this agent is the worst agent of all-time or Udoka is his one and only client and he's trying to use all the tricks in the book.

[Kori Ellis]

He denied that a deal was done, not that a deal was in work....

But no one from the Spurs has ever even admitted that a deal was close or in the works. Right?

I think it is going to happen. But Udoka's agent has blown a lot of smoke this summer, so who knows.

lol, what a hackneyed act

[Mr. Body]

Either this agent is the worst agent of all-time or Udoka is his one and only client and he's trying to use all the tricks in the book.

I seem to remember one of the articles saying he's a first-time agent and Udoka is his only client.

Right, but I was only commenting on what had been denied.

It's true they haven't admitted to a contract being in work, but they haven't denied that fact either. RC has simply denied that a deal had been completed.

Infer what you will.....

You're a stupid bandwaggoning , Sequ...

Without a doubt.

[phxspurfan]

If it's on the front page of nba.com, I'm pretty sure it's a done deal.

ehhhhh

[BeerIsGood!]

With or without him the Spurs will be fine and poised to win again next near with a Championship squad. More than likely he'll sign as soon as his agent decides to stop playing "Arli$$" and get his guy a contract before he pisses everyone off. The Spurs hold the cards, so there's no worry from their end.

[jag]

Udoka isn't signed and you dip s are p... e ing... all over each other...

You don't really think Sequ would take that bait do you?

hahahahahahaha

[Bruno]

If Udoka doesn't sign with Spurs today, I will start wondering what happen : another team wanting him (like with Salmons last year) ? Spurs negotiating hard with his agent ? Spurs not wanting him because they have found a better option ?

Is this real?

[Bruno]

Is this real?

Yes, Udoka has signed with Lakers


















in 2003.

[Mister Sinister]

Is this real?

Maybe it's another Ime Udoka?

[T Park]

yeah it says there they signed the 26 year old Udoka. Dudes 30 now. So either they typoed that, or thats from 03, and if Bruno thnks it is, then it is.

That and the fact that they mention the 2003 season a couple times.
