[AnotherArgie]

only Europe

[Xylus]

How the do you sign two contracts with two different teams and not expect to suffer the consequences of it? Was he planning on playing for two teams at the same time?

What happens when the two teams play each other?

[AnotherArgie]

only Europe

Thanks!

He does what the dude in Semi-Pro did?

Started with the Spurs in the first half, then in the second half played for Flint?

call in sick

[ace3g]

he is probably around 30 yrs old now, but he was one of those players I wanted the Spurs to sign a few years back when he was with the Suns and Lakers. He shoots the 3 at a high percentage, rebounds, and drives to the basket

that's the point.
it seems as if he has TWO agents, who both operated out of phase and both agreed to contracts.

[timtonymanu]

Been out of the NBA for a year. Before that he played for six teams in seven years. There must be a general consensus that his talents have deteriorated below NBA standards.

Do we want another old retread without NBA skills left in the tank? Let's try a promising rookie.

just to be fair, he didn't look that bad playing in Italy last season. (18PPG, 7.5RPG)

Would Jones be any better than Finley?

And if he were, what do we do Finley since he's already signed? It's not like there would be any kind of a trade market for him.

The Spurs are running out of roster spots. Not sure using one of the last few ones on Jumaine really does anything for us. I guess if the Spurs don't think Tolliver adds much they could run him off and pick up Jones.

Wonderful.

Milano and Perm!


Actually, he was right: you never know whether olimpia will be there next month.
