Well, on the lighter side, he can show RJ how NOT to play the SF position in the Spurs system.
Just messin', hope he does well this season.
I'm just saying he wasn't 100% completely worthless in his time in San Antonio like everyone makes him out to be.
Everyone acts like they resigned Jack Haley for the MLE.

LMFAO!!!
You mean $5 million. We're in lux tax territory.
In other news, I'm almost 100% positive Mike doesn't read Spurstalk...
Oh really?? Spurs are stuck with him? He has a no trade clause? His contract runs past 2010 so it is not expiring?
Player option was a bad idea, but it changes nothing. Spurs made their plans knowing the option was there and him picking up the option changes nothing.
Relax. Vent if you wish....but relax. Free Agency hasn't officially started yet, not to mention the 2009-10 season. I assure you, Pop and RC have not been sitting there with their fingers crossed whispering "please don't take the option, please don't take the option...."
As always the best posts
I've been talking myself into the fact that there has been worse things out there. Like Diop receiving the entire MLE last season.
From that perspective, things don't look as bad anymore...
Exactly. God, did no one take a business class? This changed nothing, it was already accounted for.
Crying because Finley took his option and it might cause your beer to go from 7 to 8 dollars is stupid and lame.
He sucks, hurts the team and we have become a progressively softer, weaker, of a team since the day he signed here.
Culminating in our first round exit, near sweep, from the playoffs this year, in a series in which we had home court, at the hands of Finley's old team.
It doesn't get any worse than that.
And yes, Finley is the reason. Since the day he signed with us, the Mavs have known that all they have to do to beat us, is get him on the court. And let him to do us what he used to do them. And it's worked to perfection.
Let me ask you this...do you think Mark Cuban in any way regrets the decision to waive Finley? Do you think he would do things differently if he had it to do over again? no, in fact he'd probably give Finley a raise. Finley's done more to earn his paycheck from the Mavs where our defeat is concerned, as a Spur, than he ever did as a Mav.
Fact.
The imagery is hilarious...
Finley is responsible for Manu's and Duncan's injuries???
dammit!
How much of a kickback are you getting?
The only bad part to me is that it pretty much means if they can't trade Finley, then there is no room for Bowen.
If he's not good enough to get us out of the first round, in a series in which we had HC, against a team that had a hard time even making the playoffs, what in the is he doing on the court in a meaningful role?
It does not get any lower than losing in the first round in a series in which you had HC....not just losing, but losing 4-1. Exactly what did this piece of crap do to justify his continued presence on our roster?
It is the lowpoint of this franchise in the Duncan era.
The dude jacks up shots at a mediocre PCT, that is all he does. Period. He sucks. We are a worse team since the day he signed with us.
He jacks up shots at a mediocre PCT, that's all he does.
I agree he underperformed and dissapointed last year BUT...
so did everybody else not named Duncan or Parker. Even Pop dissapointed. Not to mention Dallas always has matchup advantages in the last few years. All not Finley's fault.
Finley should not get more than 10mpg and he won't we have Jefferson now. So why even about a guy who will play a very minor role???
Right, and somewhere deep inside, Michael Finley is loving that.
I know I know...but he and Bowen are so...tight.
3 things that I'm worried:
1 - The Spurs may not use the whole MLE because of it
2 - Bruce chance to comeback now is close to 0
3 - Pop will play him
I think Finley is a great guy, was a great player and I'm very happy he got his ring but he's done. He'd help the Spurs much more if he decided to retired or in other team
Finley stepped up for us during our injury woes of last season. Though I prefer to move on and get somebody younger...he's still a serviceable backup. My gut tells me he won't be traded during the offseason.
So now you're recurring to making up? Link to this?
1) Don't worry about this one. The MLE will be used the same exact way. Their targets and plan had a price range. Just because Finley picked up his option, that does not mean Sheed changed his asking price. The FO knew Finley could pick up his option and planned accordingly.
2) Bruce was not going to come back anyways. It was already long odds as evidenced by Pop not playing him and by RC's comments.
3) Legit concern, but less likely now that the Spurs have a legit SF in RJ.
It's not my fault you weren't a Spurfan when Finley whined like a ...nor is it my job to educate you.
Don't believe me...no skin off my ass if you go through life stupid...er. In fact, I might even think it's deserved.
If you swap Barry for Finley, do the Spurs get out of the first round last season?
Last year, I preferred Barry over Finley- and he could have been used instead of Mason when Pop wanted a veteran to handle the ball. Now, I would rather have Bowen than Finley.
But Pop loves Finley- like no other I have seen, and I am still not convinced that Pop can restrain himself from playing him because he never has in the past no matter how poorly he played.
