Not sure why najera would even consider Jersey or visa versa...they are loaded up front....unless he gets big money for two years I think the spurs and nuggets will be his options.....maybe G State slides in to make an offer you never know with mullins has in his head.
The way the spurs are working they have basically to LLE left and are just waiting till everyone runs out ot MLE money then will offer role players a 2 yr deal worth more than vets min and a chance to win a ring.......not a bad plan we will see how it all shakes out......If we cant get anyone else we will sign our second rounders and keep them on the bench......But I see a trade or 1 more signing in our future...
dont like najara...like someone else said...i just dont know why. hope mason blows up and really contributes.....if ian isnt ready iguess nareja would be a good pick up.
hopefully KT resigns
That's so premature and emo, stxspurs. With regard to the top-tier FAs, these jobs are mostly about the money when there is a large delta in offers and when the players are in their "prime".
Most people might look up the list of "Most Admired Companies" http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortu...008/index.html and see Apple or America's "Best Companies To Work For" http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortu...ompanies/2008/ and see Google but I'll guarantee you that if the money was right (i.e. 1.5x or greater after taxes and COL adjustments) offered by #100 or even #1000, the majority of people in this country would take the extra pay and see how things work out.
^Actually, I'd take less $$ and work for google...you can wear your pajamas to work, they have an on site massage therapist, free food, and a dozen other perks and working enviroment that not many people can compare to.
Of course, for us mere mortals it'd be a difference of a couple thousand dollars in pay...for athletes it's a couple million. Slight difference.
no point now he has agreed with Jersey for 4 yrs
Hmmm, or at least supporting the point.
did he just say i was emo?
We will just wait and be bottome feeders again........I have no Idea with manu 31 and Duncan 32 why are we not spending to win now.....Adding a FA in 2010 if we can get them will cost us Manu and Duncan will be 34 well in decline......makes not sence to me unless you get Dwade and Bosh.......
Well then that means they would forfeit their share of pool money next year as well... So say they went over by 1 million, it would cost them 1 million in tax + 3 million (this years dispersement) totaling 4 million. That is pretty costly...
Yeah, what you said was premature and emo, stxspurs. The offseason isn't even half over. Off-season doesn't always = FA market but even if it did equate to just free agents, let it play out. The vacation isn't over just because the video rental store was all out of our favorite dvds to watch in the car.
<<<<nervous spur fan
point taken.......thx for talking me off the cliff....
The offseasons where the Spurs get exactly the players they want tend to be the worst ones. I don't think we've ever won a championship after getting big name first choice signings.
Last time it happened we got NVE and Finley....turned out poorly.
Offer Diawara and Thomas the LLE kind of money we have left... so each would get about 2 mil... and that should do it.
Spend what?
THEY CANT MATCH 4 and 5 million dollar contracts
Christ people.
Didn't happen last summer either
What is was saying is the spurs are not spending on draft picks they instead ship them away to save money....Then trade offers that have come about like the on for Lamar O they refused for money reasons.....they let Turk go to Orlando for nothing instead of signing Him to the MLE.....Steve Jackson we let go..........Do you think Barbosa, Jackson, Turk, heck even John Salmons could have helped and would help this year???? If they had spent we wouldnt even be sitting here stressed over a fourth scorer.....The could have offered the MLE to Smith from Denver which likely would not have been matched.......A few years ago we could have had ron artest but instead made a trade for STEVE SMITH.......because we didnt wanna pay Ron.....
Agree entirely. If we kept Steven Jackson or Hedo Turkulu we wouldn't be in a bind now. Heck, we may have won at least another championship in the process. We could have made it if we signed Scola instead of signing Bonner. It's the same kind of money and for the life of me, I can't figure out why we have him. If we aren't going to play him, then why are we having him take up cap space?!
[QUOTE=DPG21920;2657414]
The thing I do not like about the situation is that he is an unrestricted free agent and does not even have to give the Spurs a chance to match. [QUOTE]
I guess I'm getting a little confused. I thought the Spurs have Bird rights to Thomas?
splitter or KT you decide i don't we get both
They do have his Bird Rights, but all that means is that he counts against the Spurs cap right now and that they in theory could offer him more than any other team. He is a UFA though, and does not have to give them a chance to match.
