So if we use the full MLE on Diaw and use the LLE on Lobrek does this mean that we can't sign Green?
LOLScout bringing the lulz he is supposed to bring...

My understanding is that Green is a restricted free agent and does not require an exception to sign.
To be technically correct, it will require an exception to sign Green, but the Spurs will have an Early-Bird exception that they can use on him. In other words, they can sign Green without using their MLE.
Lorbek was chosen for the best C in Spanish League.
I can give u link to Slovenian source, but idk if anyone would understand![]()
I think he was also picked in the Euroleague 1st team.
Spurs could have two best centers from the second best league behind the NBA.
Another Euroleague MVP, yesssss!![]()
Sorry for the wrong info, Lorbek is just nominated so far. Krstic will probably be in the first team and they will also most likely put Kirilenko as a PF in the first team, so Lorbek will be in the second team.
I don't care if we go over and the owners gotta pay more...sign Lorbek, Diaw, and Green. Even if you get hit with the tax you will make it up by going deep in the playoffs$$$$
Trade Blair and Anderson for a high second round pick in 2013 - Can't afford to pay a first round pick this year anyway.

FC Barcelona big man Erazem Lorbek was not very willing to talk about his NBA future this morning after the Spanish League awards ceremony.
Lorbek did say, though, that the fact that San Antonio owns his rights now makes the NBA more appealing to him.
When asked by a reporter if he had an offer on the table from FC Barcelona, Lorbek said he didn't know and laughed. He's focused on the Spanish playoffs and the Euroleague Final Four for now.

Lorbek will in less than 2 hours the Euroleague semifinal (1pm CT).My understanding is its very close to being a done deal. RT @Ericb1980 What are the Spurs' chances of signing Lorbek are and how good is he?
Damn, Jonathan Givony has been pretty damn reliable lately. Props to T Park for asking him the question.
Doesn't it make more sense that the Spurs and Lorbek would agree to an LLE (or whatever its called these days) offer right now rather than an MLE offer? I'd imagine there are too many variables in play to earmark the MLE for Lorbek right now. However, the LLE is something the Spurs rarely use and is virtually guaranteed to be available.
Lorbek for the LLE would be a great signing.
If the Spurs keep Diaw and get Lorbek, every other team's front office should just ing worship them.
any link to the game/box score, and great news if they can sign him to the LLE
-
right now you can follow @Euroleague for updates to the game
Thanks, also at 2 p.m CST NBATV will air the game
The Spurs didn't use any part of the 3yr/9M mini-MLE this season. Now there would be obvious financial issues with using that exception before June 30th.
Is it even possible under the CBA? Could the Spurs sign Lorbek before June 30th using this year's MLE and still retain full use of next year's MLE?
That would be both awesome and very un-Holt like.
I'm pretty sure the last day to sign anyone is the last day of the regular season. Not 100% sure, especially in this new CBA.
Watching the game, Spanoulis looks like he's Manu's grandfather. He aged like 35 years since the last time I saw him.
He even has the bald spot
You're right. Confirmed with Coon's new FAQ.
Just thought it was strange that the Spurs and Lorbek could already have an agreement that didn't use next year's MLE. I would think that the Spurs wouldn't want to commit to a deal that made it impossible to keep Diaw and that Lorbek wouldn't commit so early to a deal that may be well below market value.
Barca looks to be choking as badly as their football equivalent did in the Champions League. 17 offensive rebounds, and still losing.
