I wonder if DaDakota and 0 are the same person.
Every knowledgeable GM and scout in the NBA.
No. Remember there is verbal agreement. He needs to ask Spurs if they want him before he signs with another team. Of course he could do like Boozer and ignore this. But he is a nice guy and he would not do something like that.
Navarro
This is how awards work in Euroleague
final four MVP
Original MVP award and most important one it was create as best player on best team type award. Basic like Euroleague playoffs MVP. Anyway it is hardest one to win and main best player award. So is like Euroleague version to NBA MVP award.
The 2001 ones have official asterisk because half of teams were not in each league.

Then there is these MVP awards which was not so important really. They do not mean much to be honest because they were just for one stage of season awards but still were for best player of each stage of season. They were only for few years because Euroleague final decide they were kind of pointless and stupid.
regular season MVP
This one would be maybe = to like player of month award in NBA. It is really no more important than that which is why the cancel it. 2001 awards have asterisks because only half of teams compete in each league that year.
Nate Huffman 2001 (he was MVP of FIBA)
Dejan Tomasevic 2001 (he was MVP of ULEB)
Mirsad Turkcan 2002
Joseph Blair 2003
Arvydas Sabonis 2004
top 16 MVP
It is same as regular season like I describe above but was a little more important because was for last 16 group. So same but against little better compe ion. Again they cancel it because it was pointless award really.
Dejan Bodiroga 2002
Mirsad Turkcan 2003
Arvydas Sabonis 2004
Then this is where actual season MVP award start. This is like NBA regular season MVP I guess. Difference is in NBA season MVP is more prestige but n Euroleague this one is newer and less important and prestige than final four MVP. This is actual a legit award though. Those old ones above for regular season and top 16 were stupid because it was just for one part of season.
Euroleague MVP so this is an important one and legit unlike old regular season and top 16 awards
Anthony Parker 2005
Anthony Parker 2006
Theo Papaloukas 2007
Ramunas Siskauskas 2008
Juan Carlos Navarro 2009
But for Euroleague for NBA fan think of how NBA MVP is for importance be most important and prestige award it is this one. This would be list of players would be same thing as list of NBA MVPs. The other ones is not equal. Like I say before 2001 ones have asterisk because half of clubs did not play in league.

So that above is list from 1988-2009 would be same way as NBA fan would think of as NBA MVP list. As can see from list it is not just any crap player can win this. NBA fans is always talk some serious bull and lies. Is VERY hard to win this award. Even Manu could only win it during year when half of clubs were not even in the league. Players I bold is ones that would all be for sure in hall of fame. And Raja was like type 20/10 player I think in NBA before he have to leave for personal issue. Also Bodiroga was always consider better player than Peja.
NBA fans always make fun of Edney, Parker, Jasikevicius but they were usefull NBA players. Edney and Parker were starters in NBA and Saras was 6 man in Pacers and could have been starter in Cavs but he left to Europe for more money. Even Langdon was rotation player in NBA for 3 years and he is much better player now than then he is these days like Re with good defense and ability to make own shot off dribble . Papaloukas and Diamantidis many times had offers to come to NBA they just never did because of money issue. Danilovic had very good NBA first 2 years then left back to Europe for more money. Rebraca was rotation player with Clippers and Pistons.
NBA fans is just full of if they think any scrub from NBA can win this award. Just think of how many NBA players have play in Europe and are not anywhere on this list.
There is no VERBAL agreement that is illegal. VSpan bought his way out of his San Antonio deal.
If he wants to come back to the NBA, he will sign with whomever gives him the best chance to play his style.

Not true. He was release from his contract. He then pay back Rockets for buyout to PAO and he give up all salary from Spurs. Then PAO sent Spurs over 1 million euros fee to secure him.
There is an actual agreement between managers of PAO and managers of Spurs ever since then. If you do not believe it that is up to you. But ever since then Spurs are working on many things with PAO in Europe. if he did want to come to NBA he would talk with the Spurs. If the Spurs did not want him he would go to another club.
But there is relationship now with Spurs and PAO. Popovich and Obradovich and Spurs and PAO managers all work on things in off season. It is like the Spurs European help.
An NBA free agent is an NBA free agent- He can sign wherever he wants and the Spurs can not stop him.
