Call up Brand and him out.
Well RC and Pop have got some work to do, right now this off-season is a failure.
I don't doubt that South Beach is more attractive, but this is certainly a shock to what we were hearing yesterday. All that's happened since then that we've heard is the Spurs reportedly got scared off. Not exactly the model of off-season efficiency for our front office.

If this is true, I wouldn't be surprised to see Eddie Jones and another player/pick end up with the Clippers to make something out of Sterling's investment.
you're on crack, sterling wants nothing to do with EJ's contract
Wow. This has to be devastating to you guys if its true.
But I can see why Brand would rather go to Miami and shine as one of the best big men in the East, become a perennial All-Star and dominate the paint with 2 potential star swingmen instead of coming to SA.
Not many players in general want to play second fiddle to a guy that plays their same position. They would never get the accolades that they would if they were by themselves.
But its not over yet, Spurs fans. Who knows what happens...
No way Sterling takes that ugly contract.
And why isn't the league investigating the ACarter "clerical error"?

Wouldn't Sterling taking Eddie Jones just be slitting his own throat? That would be frreing up Miami's cap space to go after Odom. Unless he knew somebody else is going to make a run at Odom that he wouldn't match.
It will piss me off if the Spurs' management got pussified and just pulled out of the Brand running because they got scared of Sterling matching and then a loser organization like the Heat gets him.
Another thing that is enraging me right now is that the frickin' Heat cheat their way into cap space by Anthony Carter "forgetting" to turn in his player option and end up with a shot at Brand. :gun
If it helps anyone, the Spurs were talking to Odom yesterday but I don't know the results.
I'll try to see if I can find out what's going on. But who knows if I can ... it's a busy day.
If Sterling was going to take on Eddie's contract, he may as well match Brand.
AHF
this = bull .
Brand will be a Spur.
Anthony Carter's agent must die.
One more time: Donald Sterling doesn't think like your average NBA owner. The only thing he cares about is keeping payroll low and long-term financial commitments to a minimum. There's no way he would ever take back Eddie Jones in a trade (because of his contract) whereas another owner might well be tempted to.
Investigation? Conspiracy theory, no investigation. League would rather see a powerhouse in Miami than SA. Stern probably suggested the plan.
oh god, stfu with the ster conspiracy theories. some people have seen one too many episodes of the ing x files.
Not serious Manny. What Duffy did is entirely legal. It's player option and Carter played ball with Miami.
There's no conspiracy theory, just two guys in the Spurs front office with very small balls.

Get real AHF. The Spurs extended him an offer. Probably the same damn one that Falk drafted with Miami. He went with Miami.
You seem to be forgetting that it's up to the player who he signs with.
Manny, I've been in the chats. Don't act like you know something you don't.
Perhaps the Spurs would've been better off moving the franchise near Bourbon Street.
If Sterling matches for Brand, the Heat will get Odom.
If Sterling doesn't match for Brand, the HEat will get him and Sterling will match us for Odom.
How do we not get screwed here?
Question.
We need to get Odom to sign an offer sheet from us now.
I wouldn't get so worked up about it yet. Supposedly Howard was going to Minny, Miller to Utah, etc etc
Ghost, sign Odom to the offer sheet now. Provided, of course, that he wants to come to SA. Forget about waiting on his ass so he can see if he can go to Miami instead.
Greggy Pop, you've been PUNK'D
That's what I am saying, Marcus.
Let Miami and LAC battle over Brand and make Odom the priority.
What will Sterling do when faced with a decision of matching big offers for both players?
Question.
For one thing, Brand hasn't signed the offer sheet yet.
Second, why would he and his agent work on this contract with the Spurs if he didn't want to be with SA. Thee is no other paper reporting this. Maybe the Spurs did back out, but it doesn't make any sense. Neither Falk ro Brand have said they were signing and offer sheet with either Miami or SA. Before you guys get pissed off, wait until another source has reported this information. Remember, the NY Post just reported that Kidd wanted Scott fired, which we found out was false. Just because one paper says something, doesn't make it so.
Tex
Again!Greggy Pop, you've been PUNK'D
Well, Odom would have to want to come here.
