Big Baby to San Antonio? Grant Hill to Boston?

[DPG21920]

In case you didn't notice, the FA crop this year isn't so good. You sound as if you wanted to save as much money as possible for 2010.



Then how does his signing effect Splitter in 2010?

Yes, I did if it meant losing KT+Oberto and replacing them with Glen Davis.

The Spurs will be well into the luxury tax. It certainly effects signing Splitter in 2010.

OK, this is not a done deal (yet). Here's the latest from Tanguay:

"UPDATE: It is also my belief that Grant Hill will sign with Boston after meeting face-to-face with Doc Rivers by the end of the week. Glen Davis could be gone to San Antonio, as they are prepared to offer their mid-level slot, which it is my understanding that Boston will not match. Davis is a restricted free-agent and any offer he receives can be matched by the Celtics within 7 days."

So the Spurs will not get Davis cheap. The Celtics want him but only at a decent price and will match if the offer is low. But if San Antonio offers close to the MLE, Baby is gone. (That's overpaying though. He's a nice player to have but he's not worth that much.)

The Grant Hill to Boston report seems solid though.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahk

RJ and Big Baby starting in the front court.

photoshop away kids....

[Sigz]

He's got ties.

If the Spurs give him the MLE, the forum is going to melt down.

Wait on Powe instead..lol

Depends. They're at $47 million as of now for 2010. No telling what the cap will be. Could be $56-$60 million.

Isn't it one post and the person was actually criticizing people for using gay/ , right?

(Did I miss something else?)

Thank you.

And for anyone who doesn't see that I'm saying both are obviously wrong... reread the post.

At least Big Baby is a cool nickname . . . . . . . . .. .

Until I hear it from another source (not citing Tanquaray), I won't believe it. I mean, he knows what's going on in the Celtics' organisation, but does that mean he also has magical access to the Spurs? No freaking way. It's still all conjecture.

[completely deck]

its pretty hilarious some twitter post is being taken as gospel.

[clubalien]

IF the spurs are signing him, it must be as a backup. So they are probaly trading ian and bonner for someone to start at center and thus needs back ups without those two bigs

Not with all these photos flying around this thread of him

[Death In June]

Today was a day filled with awful news.

[MarHill]

I edited the one I saw. I didn't see anything else.

Kori...I thought I saw two of them. I don't see it!

My apologizes.

[Shastafarian]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just the possibility and it's already happened!

[DPG21920]

Since when did I say this?

a BENCH guy

Did you watch the playoffs? He played over 36 minutes a game. I do not care if Garnett was hurt.

Bonner had no one to compete with and he played 20. You brought up Ian making 1m and being a first round pick, what is your point?

[picnroll]

Mahinmi must be looking like the second coming of Bill Russell in practice. That's the only possible explanation for this.

A league source said the Celtics’ pursuit of Wallace actually may affect the team’s ability to sign its own restricted free agent - not because of the Celtics’ ability to pay, but because of the increased chance one of the jilted Wallace suitors might then make an increased offer to Davis.

Orlando and San Antonio - both expected to meet with Wallace during the next week - are said to be interested in offering Davis most, if not all, of their midlevel exceptions as a contingency plan. The Grizzlies are also thinking about getting into the Big Baby sweepstakes.

Compared to what? The Dunkin Dutchman?

[Marcus Bryant]

I'm sorry Marcus....but there is no place for that. Period!!

There was no context for it.....and you don't have to go there.

Ah yes, after all, it's verboten. Let's not say what really mean and say what we don't mean.

You don't care even though that contributed to him playing so much? And how about Leon Powe ALSO being injured?

Bonner had no one to compete with and he played 20. You brought up Ian making 1m and being a first round pick, what is your point?

My point is he's not just some young hit or miss second rounder. The Spurs have a fair amount invested in him. I'm confident Davis would have to win the starting spot over him.
