Yeah, I could see it that way too Mel.
They know he really wants to come back, I think we get him cheaper.

Three years between 6M and 7M seems about fair. Though with what he's done the last two years, someone could offer him more. It all depends on what he's looking to accomplish.
Boris already won a chip with TP, he's fullfilled his dream, if they try to lowball him he can easily decide to go somewhere else.
It's pretty obvious he's more valuable than Splitter... Imo you give him the most money on the shortest deal possible. Something like 2yrs 20M sounds right, with eventually the second year non garanteed to keep flexibility for 2015.
2 years. 10 - 12 mil. Take it or leave it. We should consider bringing over
ERAZAM LORBECK, if he doesn't except or bring him over anyway. Remember we still have to sign Patty Mills. Actually patty should be signed first.
We should threaten Boris with trading him to Charlotte, LOL, Just joking

I think Diaw is the priority, he's a rare bird. Pass first, defense playing, can hit the outside shot bigs are few and far between, especially considering established chemistry with existing players.
Patty is a luxury at the backup point. You can replace his abilities but not his heart.
They both need to be brought back but you'll be hard pressed to replace Diaws near triple double in the Finals at his price.
Lorbek is older and may have a big buyout on his deal he resigned when we brought Diaw in instead of him. I'd bring Lorbek in on the cheap but wouldn't offer him the moon...
I only know jars as the guy who started the Manu 20pt thread and was serious about it
Here are a couple of thoughts on that discussion.
i agree Boris has a very particular skill set and way of playing basketball. I don't believe he will receive interest of ty teams because of Charlotte experience. Now I also believe the way spurs played and won a chip is gonna inspire other teams. League is full of guys linked to spurs in a way or another and willing to play basketball team, the proper Miami heat will I'm sure focusing on moving the ball next year. Saying Boris would not receive interest of any other teams is foolish. Any team committed to build a winning franchise or already contender would be pretty stupid to not have a look at Boris.
i disagree Boris is less valuable than Danny other than for the age. Boris is a pretty good defender, his versatility is remarkable, he gives match up advantage on almost all the team of the league, his play making at his position is unique. His skill set is way more complicated for the spurs to replace than Danny.
At the end as I already said spurs know what they have, Boris is well aware of what spurs has to offer, both side will find a fair value. Now argument saying he is gonna be cheap cauz he likes playing with Parker and pop and other teams don't care about him is stupid. Boris is no Matt bonner.
In the end Boris and Mills will sign with the Spurs because they are with good friends/coaches and both are having fun. As long as it's fair value they will sign the dotted line.
2 for a bag of doritos this bum
I agree, I think 3 years, 21 million sounds like a fair deal for both sides involved...
Boris didn't choose to play for Atlanta or Charlotte. Actually the only teams he chose to play for in his entire career are the Suns and the Spurs.
I don't think he will go somewhere for more money if he isn't convinced that that team (and the coach) is the right team for him. Similarly I can't see any franchise offering him good money if they haven't understod that. It's quite obvious by now that he can be great when properly motivated, and really crappy when not.
This being said I'm sure there are quite a few teams that would welcome him and find a way to "play him right". The Warriors come to mind.
That all supports my view of the Boris situation. The teams that might be a suitable match for Boris don't have more than the MLE available. I think that if the Spurs offer a deal with an annual salary in the 6-7M dollar range for 3 years that everything will get signed very quickly and without any drama.
It will be interesting to see what other teams are willing to offer not only Boris but patty.obviously Diaw is the more important piece
A team like Pheonix would welcome him with open arms I'm pretty sure... It only takes one team...
You're right that it only takes one team to make a market for a NBA free agent.
This is what happens when PATFO overpays for easily expendable players like Splitter... Now everyone wants big $$$
Pau Gasol will happily sign for that kind of money... O PAU
Splitter received precisely his market value.
not really, but you can keep spouting that if it makes you feel good
Really, and precisely.
Don't waste your time. He'll agree with anything the Spurs do. He probably thinks they got a bargain on the Jefferson contract
no he didnt. Spurs FO shat the bed and valued him much higher than they should have. There isnt really another way to look at it.
Splitter proved his worth vs Dallas and Portland.
Splitter is a CAREER 8ppg 5RPG (they arent even good rebounds) and got signed for 10 mil a year? Thats about 2-3 million too much. You have Gibson and Gortat with better numbers, and sitting in the 7 million range. That is splitters value.
