I will assume your joking? I don't see the monetary listing anywhere.

6 million I hope.

I think this seals no tiago slitter this year

Where have you been? That ship sailed months ago. No Splitter until 2010, and even then I wouldn't get my hopes up.

yes I am joking thus the spin

[Streakyshooter08]

Good.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You can feel free to add him when he is signed. Until then, my list is 100% correct.

Anal retentive forum.

Oh wait, you think they're going to waive him...

[angelbelow]

Yes!!!!!!!!!

[benefactor]

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous over the past few days...cmon in KT, we're glad to have you.

[jjktkk]

I hope its for tow years w/a team option on the third. I am very interested to see for how much $$$ because the Spurs could then go after someone else to replace Barry and hopefully Finley. I don't want Finley to come back unless its for the min.

Barry's replacement: Roger Mason. I keep hearing Finley's coming back.

great news

Good move considering there was not much else on the market better than Thomas. I don't know how much he will help against the quicker and more athletic PF's in the NBA but I certainly trust his D over the likes of Oberto, Bonner and an unproven Mahinmi...

I guess those posters who were all worried some magical team was going to swoop in and steal Thomas can breathe again.

Not Orlando.
But the Lakers had me worried.

The Lakers are over the luxury threshold. They weren't going to spend $12M this coming season for Thomas in an effort to steal him away.

[angel_luv]

Welcome back, Kurt.

[tlongII]

I thought the Spurs were undertaking a youth movement?

[spurster]

That is good news, the roster is starting to take shape:

1)Parker, Vaughn,

2)Ginobili, Mason,

3)Bruce, Udoka,

4)Duncan, Bonner,

5)Kurt Thomas, Oberto, Ian

That's a good roster, except there is nobody with Horry-like qualities. The Spurs le years have always had some role player come up big in the clutch. I just don't see who it would be.

[The Truth #6]

I'm curious what people think is too much to pay KT, especially considering they haven't released the details of the contract yet.

Even Horry doesn't have Horry-like qualities.

I'd say his market value is a two-year, $10M contract.

[Solid D]

I guess Kurt could have gone to Europe like most all of the other Spurs' bigs have done, and made more take-home cash. This was a good signing, especially, when you consider what they faced without him...so for that I will give this announcement a very solid

[urunobili]

I'd say his market value is a two-year, $10M contract.

this means Holt released 3.1 a year?

[bigdog]

Best move of the offseason besides saying that Horry wasn't coming back.
I'm pretty sure they'll resign Finley.

Now, if only they could move Bonner or especially Oberto.

[rj215]

Not a big surprise since we had his Bird rights so no other team could match unless they gave him the max. Good move none the less. Hopefully he'll have something left towards the end of the season and into the playoffs. Pop is gonna have to do his usual magical juggling act with this roster of extrememly young and somewhat old players.
