Spurs, spurs, spurs.
Wow. That's a lot of money for Barnes.

Spurs do know the off season is going on right?
You do know that 5M is more than 2.4M, right?
It was a joke
Clippers Sign Craig Smith
The Los Angeles Clippers and free agent Craig Smith today reached an agreement that will enable the power forward to return to the team for 2010-11.
Smith, who averaged 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 16.4 minutes in 75 games played with Los Angeles last season, also connected on 57 percent of his field goals on the year. He was originally acquired by the Clippers, along with Sebastian Telfair and Mark Madsen from Minnesota, on July 20, 2009 in exchange for Quentin Richardson.

Spurs have to make a trade imo and I hope they can get one done early enough to where the player(s) can fit in.
Rhino!
Don't fear the blue.
It was a joke
For who?
For who using what?
LeWoj didn't have anything horrible to say about LeBron in this tweet?
What's the world coming to?

Magic & Raps have been creative with this stuff in past, but still waiting to find out how Barnes deal would be legal under CBA.

As I understand it: Sign and trade must be min 3 yrs. Can't sign and trade using MLE. Barnes en led to max salary of 1.9 mil from Orlando.
For a SF. There will be plenty of room to make trades as the season goes on. It just depends on what the Spurs will be willing to give up.
It is hard to pin point a specific player at the moment because we don't know how all the new signings will pan out and who will become available because they were over paid and are under performing.
I am sure I could bring up an initial list of players who play SF, that are a decent fit and *could realistically become available.
Spurs have plenty of options for trades big or small or in between on their end. They have low salary guys, high upside guys, elite vets and un-guaranteed contracts.
I am not sure if it is legal, but they might be using their TE to do a S&T. They are not using their MLE obviously because they used it on Kleiza (or most of it.)
Damn, that's a sexy deal for the Bulls..
Hollinger's point is that a Barnes S&T starts with Barnes being signed by the Magic. The Magic don't have cap space and the CBA prevents using the MLE in conjunction with a S&T. The Magic don't have Bird Rights or Early Bird Rights on Barnes, so the best they can do is a 20% raise over his 2009-10 salary of 1.6M using the Non-Bird Exception. Finally, the reports talk about a 2yr deal and an S&T must be at least three years in length per the CBA.
But the Raps can sign him outright for that amount if they choose, correct?
According to reports I've read, they used most of their MLE on Kleiza. Maybe they worked out a S&T with Denver on that transaction and still have their MLE to use on Barnes???
I think you've nailed it. While they've talked about Kleiza as if he's already on their team, they haven't officially announced his signing or sent out a press release, which means a sign-and-trade is probably in the works.
And still no word on Butler. C'mon, CIA Pop, come through for us again...
That's gonna be a long wait. No reason for Butler to sign a deal starting at 2.4M in July. He'll bide his time and wait for a better deal. There still have to be at least 20 teams that can offer more than 2.4M to start.
