[Yuixafun]

oh, derrrrr, to match the money up. sorry, I was a little stoked. I think Amir Johnson could have been good for the Spurs.

a little stoked?

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs get RJ and cash. This is great

Maybe the Spurs can use that cash to buy their way into the end of the first round.

I think they'll just use to pay the tax

[Big P]

Is the trade official? I just started thinking that instead of sending Amir to the Bucks, maybe we keep Amir & send the Bucks the cash??

[DMX7]

Maybe even better, Detroit will buy out Oberto, and both him and Bowen can sign with us again.

If they traded for him... why would they cut him? That wouldn't save them much money, I don't think.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs.com offical release have Oberto going to the Bucks. I think Bucks will trade with the Pistons and maybe they'll get some cash

obricio7thanks y'all I really want to thanks , I've got four amazing years in san antonio and in texas....gracias

obricio7gracias a todos , cuando sepa mas se los comento recien vuelvo y vi un monton de mensajes gracias

obricio7@MoneyMase sorry mate no more screens for you hehehe

Aw. I really liked Fab for the reason that he worked his ass off, but it's all a business.

I used to be high on Amir's potential ... but he just never lived up to it. The Pistons gave him a ton of choices last year and he couldn't figure out how to be an NBA player.

At this point, I'd rather see what Mahinmi could do. I'm glad the Spurs traded for RJ instead of doing separate deals with Oberto going for Amir.

Bingo.

He's still very young and raw (only played 2 yrs in high school (due to grades) and no college). Still has lots of upside. But there's been very little obvious growth despite the opportunities given to him. Super athletic, but doesn't know how to play the game. He also doesn't come across as the smartest player on the roster.

In an uptempo system, some team may still get something out of him.

It nets them $1.9 million extra in capspace (only half of Oberto's deal is guaranteed).

You can flip him if you trade him alone.

Correct. If you receive a player as part of a package in a trade, you cannot trade that player as part of a package for 2 months. You can however trade him individually immediately.
