They traded for Kirk Heinrich.
Jerebko got 4 years and $16 million. I guessed 4 years and $15 million.
But apparently I was way off on Battier. I thought he would get he full MLE but the Heat apparently got him with the mini MLE of $9 million. For 3 years and $9 million, Battier would have been higher on the list.
They traded for Kirk Heinrich.
Josh Howard is out?
He's still available. I have JHo below Vince Carter though ... that tells you what I think about him.
Let's hope so
Dang I wouldn't be opposed to Teague and Josh Smith for TP.

Based on what I'm hearing tonight, wouldn't hold my breath on Grant Hill joining the Spurs.
the next few days will be very interesting to see how this shakes out.
i haven't seen AK47 linked to any teams. anyone know who's making a push for him?
He's still in Russia and hasn't decided if he will play in the NBA this year:

TP should be on the first plane to Russia.
Seriously.
Below VC? NO, not even close Timvp. I would rather have anyone than Vince.It won't be interesting, that usually means something good could happen! Spurs won't end up with anyone signing and we all know it, thats the way it is around SA now they are not contenders! even before that they could get key parts around their stars but never a key FA (Bowen was their best signing along with Horry IMO). Now that the Spurs are older it is what it is. I would look to develop Leonard and Anderson etc. now, nobody is going to sign in SA that will be any help.
Disagree. There was no mess when he had a huge expiring contract that would have been there for the Spurs to trade away in the middle of last season, when his value couldn't possibly have been any higher.
Then we disagree.
This is encouraging...@JMcDonald_SAEN

That was a Blake Griffin tweet Kaman retweeted. Blake was joking btw.
Is there actually any option that's going to be an upgrade over RJ for what the value of their contract + what's left over after amnestying RJ? I don't personally give a if it costs the Spurs more money if they can't upgrade at any position, including his own, after getting rid of him.
The rare double post sandwich.
If you can explain how his expiring wasn't worth more than Bowen and KT I'd love to see you try.
It's only worth more if you're willing to pay the price the use it.
AK47 Probably won't sign for mle. He probably wants to return to the Jazz. Not only because that's his team but Utah has a climate more suitable to his liking.
So no explanation, then.
Someone was always going to overpay for Butler and Battier. I thought Hill might have been a 50/50 possibility. But now that it looks like he doesn't want to come here, I'll say it again. Don't be surprised if we wind up with Anthony Parker, James Jones, or both.
Parker would be a good mentor for Leonard. Jones is under-rated (cheap), and probably capable of earning more minutes here than he was getting in Miami. It's sad, but probably more realistic than a lot of the names that have been getting tossed around.
How much clearer can I be? I don't accept the premise that the Spurs would have been willing to use RJ's expiring contract to take on huge future obligations at the Feb, 2011 trade deadline. By the summer of 2010, they had realized the error of straying so far from their normal business model. Thus, the decision in the summer of 2010 to save 17-20M in that business year by restructuring his deal. An unfortunate choice brought about by the original bad decision which was the acquisition in 2009.
