Along with four or five other teams....
I think it's a move that has to be made to keep us contending for the rest of the Duncan era.
Along with four or five other teams....
I don't see it happening.
I imagine us trying to get Pietrus, and for some crazy reason, I can see the Spurs surprising everyone by making an offer on the real Fabio, Walter Hermann, if only to confound us.
We should change this thread up to "Who Do You Think the Spurs Are Targeting in Free Agency?" Note, not who would you like the Spurs to target...Let everyone go on record before midnight and we'll how many of us get it correct.
But why would he want to come here? He wants a two year contract where he can put up big numbers to get a bigger deal, right? He won't be able to put up big numbers here the way our offense is spread out. One would think playing on the Spurs should help his value but I don't see him agreeing.
The Spurs will offer zero contracts at midnight.
i dont think we should sign any free agent this year, the free agentsy this year is not good, we should save our money and our salary cup for 2009 or 2010
?!? wtf
What cap money in 2009?
Ok. Suppose they offer a contract sometime after midnight, whether 2 am or next week, who do you think they plan to go after.
I disagree. If he's starting, he'll put up bigger numbers than Finley. And if Manu starts to break down, he'll get even more minutes. He's young and can handle it.
OBTW, doesn't a two-yr deal fit into the 2010 timeframe of the Spurs' FO? Treat him like a Derek Anderson. I said before give him the two-yr and tell him if he does well and behaves himself he's young enough to be part of a longer-term deal to be on the team in Duncan's twilight years.
Your mom.
By big numbers I was suggesting by his standards, not modest improvements over the ghost of Michael Finley.
I agree that he should be able to score here, and if he's used properly he could even be our second leading scorer. But I don't see Pop turning over the keys to the house to JR Smith, as much as it would make sense to work him hard in the regular season to save our vets for the playoffs.
lets wait and see how the artest situation will play out.
Spurs won't do anything tonight... they will wait til 5 other teams already have their offer on the table for JR.
JR knows what the Spurs are offering anyway. There's not much mystery there.
True... just the MLE...
Do the Spurs think they need JR?
Pietrus will be cheaper and is unrestricted. I think the spurs go in his direction.
I want ron artest i think spurs are targeting jr though
at midnight the Spurs will go after Pietrus for half the MLE....
Spurs will wait. Guaranteed.
I like pietrus better. Instant chemistry with Tony plus i still don't trust JR at all.
Somebody most aren't expecting. I don't know who, but that's how I think it'll end up.
You don't trust J.R.? Pietrus didn't exactly light it up down the stretch for GS, either...
I can tell you who they won't give the MLE to tonight.
