Someone always seems to come along.
A better question for you Spur fans is who the would want to go to San Antonio?
Someone always seems to come along.
Nene isn't a that unrealistic target providing 2 big conditions:
- Spurs are Nene's first choice.
- Spurs are ready to offer him a big contract.
After that, it's a S&T with an UFA. Denver isn't in a strength situation because Nene can just say "if you don't do the S&T with Spurs, I'm going to a team below the cap and you will get nothing for me."
A S&T for Nene could be Nene for Dice+Blair+Butler+Green+Cash+1ste.
Green, Butler and Dice are just included to match salaries and all three will be waived by Nuggets. With that package, Nene's contract can start at almost $10M.
The cash is to paid Dice trade kicker and his remaining guaranteed salary and makes his inclusion financially neutral for the Nuggets.
At the end, Nuggets will get Blair and a 1st round pick. That's not as good as Nene but it's better than the nothing they will get if he signs to a team under the cap.
Do you know what "qu si" means? It means "go to " in chinese, probably should get used to this phrase since the Denver front office has to here this daily when looking for there players...
While one has to consider the source (local sports talk radio in Dallas), yet the claim is Nene's first choices are Dallas and Miami. Have you heard anything about that?
I don't know what teams are Nene's first choices but I wouldn't trust a Dallas radio guy on that.
Probably wishful thinking based on an article posted on Yahoo:
Nene won’t lack for suitors. The Golden State Warriors, New Jersey Nets, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers are among the teams that figure to have interest.
Nene, 29, says he wants to play for a contender – perhaps at the expense of a more lucrative contract elsewhere. The Heat and Mavericks, who will both be over the salary cap, should be happy to hear that.

I suppose it's possible he would want to come to SA if he and Splitter are tight. But I'm not holding my breath.
The Splitter relationship could only enhance matters.
It's only an hour from Austin.
lol
Wasn't Nene working out down here during the lockout? There was a pic floating around somewhere on the board I think.
Anyhow, Highly doubt that happens although I would be thrilled.
Teams and agents can talk tomorrow
spurs signed manu and rj for 4 million less each they would have more money
So you're saying that if the Spurs spent less in the past, they would have more in the present?
Brilliant!
Wouldn't Spurs have to do something to get far enough below the LT in order for this to work?
The restrictions for taxpayers on S&Ts do not kick in until the third year of the new CBA.
Are you sure, Mel? I was under the impression that the only thing grandfathered for years 1&2 was the luxury tax.
In all honestly, how would yall feel as soon as you heard the confirmation that we have acquired Nene?
How much of a contender would we become?
Well damn
You had to know that Bruno wouldn't suggest a transaction that wasn't allowed under the new CBA.
I feel like this will happen.
tbh, the Heat or Mavericks would be very tempting teams to sign with, but Nene seems like the kind of player that would just prefer being with the Spurs.
Especially because of his friendship with Splitter.
This season, Nene and Duncan can mold Splitter into a beast in the paint,
and once Duncan retires. We'll have the all mighty Brazilian frontcourt.
