Well, it has been over a day ago since this news broke. No tellng how long before that it actually happened.
Yet since then, no new news that the Spurs or any other team has gotten this player to commit.
What does that tell you?
Next player, please.
I'll get with Pop and RC and relay your thoughts.

actually 4 months including the postseason Williams is already a PF with range while Daye aspires to play the 4. Not in love with either.
You're right, the Spurs have the BAE. It would be better than using part of the MLE and maybe it would be enough to get him.
I'd be OK with signing him if he was willing to take that. I just don't want to spend any part of the MLE on him. I agree 100% with Mel_13 on that one.
Still been in the system longer.
And oI don't get the love affair with Williams. I live in Utah and have warched this guy. He is not athletic like some here are trying to make him. In this instance the grass is not greener with Marvin. He doesn't bring anything to the table we don't already have. And since he hasn't been around the system, he will spend most of his time on the bench.
daye is taller, younger, better ball handler, much better defender (Williams is terrible), and equal in athleticism.
More like the opposite
@SpearsNBAYahoo
Heat prez Pat Riley and coach Erik Spoelstra flew to NC to meet with Jazz free agent forward Marvin Williams yesterday, a source told Yahoo.
Damn, all these dudes sending legit recruits. Someone fly Daye over to NC, he can show Marvin his ring then tell him how easy it is to win a championship without doing jack .
He's a far cry from Gasol and Deng. Must be plan D at this point.![]()
I think just having the Spurs "interested" in you drives value up. These guys are using us. Stating the obvious I know but just being associted with SA drives value.
Weren't they visiting Deng yesterday?
Considering the original tweet stating Spurs interest said he's on the "next" list after Lebron, Melo and Deng I doubt he's signing anywhere for BAE or min.
Ummm...what are you talking about? Marvin Williams isn't in lieu of an MLE signing. He is in addition to one. Totally different factor.
I've been saying BAE since yesterday
power shift
The stink of desperation emanating from Miami is overwhelming.
Good observation about the lack of athleticism. Look at the videos, when he played for the Hawks he could really get up there, but when you see his videos with the Jazz, his arms just barely over the rim.
The game right now is to have the other compe or pay too much for a player. I would now mind seeing Miami pay more than the minimum for Marvin Williams.
ST melting down over the possibility of signing Marvin Williams. There go our chances of landing Lebron
Seriously though, worse things could happen you know.. And I remember a similar reaction when we signed Danny Green. Prob doesn't happen anyways but Williams just turned 28 and is still a solid 3&D option. He prob wouldn't get significant PT in the playoffs anyways. Wouldn't be the wort sign at the right price IMO. There are better options like Bazemore but they're all too expensive.
If they split the MLE between Williams and Bazemore I'll cry until I'm swimming in my own sorrow.
Pop is planning to have the first team in NBA history to have the bench play more minutes than the starters. Everyone will average 19 minutes a game.
A little dramatic don't you think? Honestly the Spurs could make no moves other than bringing back Mills/Diaw and they'd be in the driver's seat for another le. What they choose to do with their MLE is likely to have minimal effect, so why not spend it on a journeyman with all the tools that never quite lived up to his potential?
