There is absolutely nothing that Finley can bring this team that Bowen can't.
Maybe Fin's house is on the market because he, Spurs and some other team have worked out a pre-arranged trade where he'll play for them or retire with the cash. :praying

I almost spit water all over the computer when i saw that picture. Suprisingly, there have been several funny pictures in thread.
I don't think anyone is arguing that.
While many will blame Finley (if he stays) for Bruce not returning I don't think that's the case. The Spurs are clearly moving forward and if they can dump Finley for the right price they will. Just like they did Bowen.
Otherwise, I think the move forward will continue next summer when Mason, Finley, and Bonner's contracts will be off the books. Again, assuming none of those 3 are traded.
I just don't see any team willing to give anything up to the Spurs for a Finley/Bonner combo. Maybe a Mason/Bonner combo.
I don't mind keeping the "veteran" on our team, but not for the 2.5 mil that he's picking up.
Maybe he opts out and signs for the minimum?
That possible?
I wouldn't turn down 2.5 million either.
Duncans happy too, he loves Fin.
It's not that the 2 moves directly correlate (Bowen's trade/Finley's return) but Mike would be linked with Bruce from the standpoint that one was sent packing (presuming he doesn't return this season) though he provides the team with a greater asset while the other is re-signed with possibly a larger role than he deserves within the same offseason.
I doubt Duncan will like Finley much when Duncan is playing center and Finley is at power forward.
I think he's done.
I don't think he's got anything left in the tank.
I wish he wouldn't have picked up the option, but I can see why he would.
I would definately try to package him and Bonner and get something of use for him.
Heres the onlything I say.
Don't rip on Finley for picking it up. Its not like its a TEAM option. Its HIS option. It wasn't his fault it was put in his contract last year.
He's done it for 4 years, if he was gonna not like him for that reason he would've started a long time ago.
Nothing against the guy, but go away already...still remembering those horrific games he had against OKC last year.
I think he had some ridiculous stat-line like 3 for 10, 7pts & 2 Ast, while playing damn near 40 min. and getting burned by anyone he guarded....class act human-being, but 'DUN' as a player IMO.
We do have to consider the source of this story. I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow he opts out and we have another classic McDonald blunder.
Finley!
Please trade him if he opts to stay!!!!
If him and Bonner are traded, people around here are gonna .
Their two favorite punching bags are gonna be gone.
Horry used to get those minutes. Finley getting those minutes = disaster.
If Fin re-ups, the Spurs have a Need for Sheed.
I'm surprised how many of you think the Spurs could get something of use for a package involving Finley/Bonner.
I'm sure the Spurs will be open to anything involving a combo of Finley, Mason, Bonner. But I stand by that I think those expring contracts are of more use to the Spurs than anything they could get in return.
True that.
Fin played some small ball in 2007 against the Nuggets.
Yeah that worked out horribly.
While I agree Finley playing small forward is bad, again, the ing about it should be directed at the coach, not the player.
There are teams looking to dump salaries.
Did you think a package of Bowen, Thomas, and Oberto could get you Richard Jefferson?
Their useless due to Jefferson coming.
Ending contracts would be usefull to someone like New York, Cleveland, whoever.
remember that time fin hit a buzzer beater to take the game to overtime
I personally think we need Finley and/or Bowen to come back for the sake of our depth.
Let's assume for a minute that neither Finley or Bowen were to come back; how would the 2/3 minutes be distributed? 96 minutes, plus let's assume 5 minutes of RJ at small ball, so 101 total minutes.
Jefferson: 35 minutes
Mason: 28
Ginobili: 28
Hill: 10
What happens if Mason or Ginobili get hurt? Who do you rely on for minutes to fill the gaps? Hairston? Williams? McClinton? Gist?
Mason would move to the front of the line.
Wouldn't be all that surprising. While he didn't state any sources, I still got the feeling he talked to someone in the know.
Hmmm.
I dunno. he sure gained alot of fandom with his game winners.
Would be hard to see.
I take it back, Pop would take it all thats easy to see now.
