    It was short-sigted LT savings that got us into the RJ mess in the first place, it's only fitting that the same thing gets us out of that frying pan and into a completely new fire.

    I didn't realize that the purpose of amnesty was to save money.

    The Suns are offering Hill a one-year, $5.5 million contract

    http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns...undecided.html
    Wow, Spurs must be offering something like $8-10M over two years. That makes Hill not as good of a deal ....... but I'd probably still do it since the alternatives are dwindling.

    Actually, it was trading for RJ in 2009 that got us into this mess. The LT savings in 2010 was an intermediate step.

    Looks like the Spurs are down to AK47, Mbah Alphabet Soup or Reggie Williams ... before they have to get into the Vince Carters of the world.

    AK47 would be a good pickup..but as things are playing out, I see how players use the Spurs to their advantage especially when it comes to money..even if the Spurs dont go far this year, I'll always root for the underdog against LA, MIA, and New York...

    I don't think that Josh Howard has turned the spurs down yet. It might come down to Howard

    AK47 has to be out of our price range. Not going to get my hopes up for that. He'll probably return to the Jazz. G.Hill was our best shot.
