There is no way in the Spurs will give Azubuike the full MLE.
Giving him the MLE for the next three years with a player option after year 2 should do the trick.

I take it your not a R Davis fan huh? You dont think he could help if he stays in line?
It'd need to be a team option.
theres no way they resign azubuike now right?
Still short.
Ricky Davis has been a cancer everywhere he's ever been. He's made every team he's played on worse. No thanks.
I agree but I think Duncan and Pops could keep him in line, I just dont wanna see some have to roll our starting SG out in a wheel chair next year so not Fin or Berry at least as a starter
That's what it will take to land anyone that is left pretty much... or pretty close to it...
As a warrior fan I would love to keep Buike, but if we don't he would be a great fit for the spurs. He is a very mature 3 year player. He can rebound for his size, and he gives a great effort every night no matter how much PT he gets. He can also shoot the ball, and isn't afraid to take and make a big shot...plus he is friggin strong...him and maggette are 2 of the most yoked SF in the league.
I think Nuggets will matc JR.
I'd offer the whole MLE on a 2 year deal. No team or player oprion
Bottom line is we're going to have to overpay for Kelenna (full MLE) if we want to get him.
That's the price of doing business on the swing man market this year. He's really worth about 3 million a year, but honestly it's worth the extra 3 mil if it means Michael Finley is done as a Spur.
I wouldn't be ready to give him the full MLE just yet. He's a good player, but right now he seems like a ~$4-4.5M player, not a ~$6M.
I would give about 4.5 of the MLE to Azubuike, try to get our last big with the rest (~$1.2M), and re-sign Barry with the LLE.
Regardless of what it will take, I just can't see the Spurs making that offer. For JR Smith, yes, but not for Azuibuke.
I second that
Azuibuke > Jr Smith
The spurs dont seem to have any interest in Azuibuke.......most likely cause he can jump and you know how we hate that. I dont think the warriors match offers for him now that they signed Turrif to an offer sheet.....nows the time to go after him or J Hayes.....or it looks like the big three have won thier last le together
In terms of pure talent and potential, J.R. Smith is clearly superior. But I'd rather have Azuibuke on this team.

I am LOL at this comment .. thx for that Spurman
Exactly, he would flourish in the spurs system, whereas JR Smith would flounder. So why not show him the money.
Jr Smith may have more potential than Azubuike, but you know damn well that arrogant y, lazy side will come out the 3rd or 4th time he gets benched, and it would just get worse from there.
To me Azubuike just looks hungrier, meaner, tougher, and willing to do whatever it takes .. and has star potential.. great replacement for Finley for the mid level money IMO.

This piece gives some sense of who Azubuike is as a person. Personally, between his worth ethic, evident intelligence, and relative maturity, I think he'd make a great Spur. If we end up with the some combination like Azubuike/Delfino I won't be dancing in the streets but I won't be discouraged either. That'll give us a fighting chance--a lot will ride on Mahinmi and Hill, but it'll make for a captivating season.
AGREED.....if we can somehow get Delfino and Azubuike...ill be very satisfied.
