    We didn't consider it, the Spurs are the ones who made the offer. We are just commenting on the possibility.

    Guaranteed offer is a pretty broad term in the rumor mill. Trying to remember last time Spurs picked up a thirty year old in season bar fly with no corporate knowledge.

    I watched him a bit on the Knicks, kind of liked him. Heard he was underwelming on the Pacers but cool with the Spurs potientially signing him.

    Udoka does the stabbing. Preferably with a broken chair leg, an opponent's severed limb, or the tensile tip of his own knife hand.

    I'm going to be a little bummed if Copeland is the choice. I know it's just the 14th man...but if we're going to gamble on an established veteran shooter I really want Rasual Butler. Hes got great character and hes proven in the past to be a solid shooter. I don't know how much he has left in the tank - but he was very good last year.

    An added bonus with Rasual Butler might be his established chemistry with David West. They were teammates for years in New Orleans and Oklahoma City and used to play off each other very well.

    If Butler joins the team hes obviously an option off the bench and not the starting unit. It'd be nice to import some established chemistry rather than having to rebuild it completely from scratch.

    SG/SF positions have always had the same responsibilities in the Spurs' system w/ their size dictating the defensive responsibilities. Last year Manu and Belinelli backed up Leonard and they are "SGs" -- same will apply w/ winner of Simmons/Anderson compe ion since Beli is gone now.

    I don't know why this is so hard for others to grasp.

    Man, I remember this guy from the Fort Worth Flyers. The guarantee offer is surprising if true. I could easily see the Spurs bringing him in for a workout to see if he can get his form back but not much more.

    The problem with that is the wear and tear your SGs go through. The system doesn't matter if your smaller sg is constantly getting pushed around by a sf. Kawhi needs another big body to bash with. Just like we NEEDED a center even though he won't play Much. Got to have a contingency plan for the bigger sfs.

    Perhaps he has made a commitment to turn his life around and the Spurs are considering giving him a chance. 42% from the 3 is doing something right. We have an embarrassment of riches at the 4, so the Spurs are probably asking him to get in shape and see if he can spell Kawhi for some minutes.
    "Commitment to turn his life around"?? He and his wife got attacked in a NY club, he was the victim.

    (1) He's played Euro ball most of his career.
    (2) He's not that athletic but he appears to be a feisty compe or not afraid to bang it down low.
    (3) He's got a high percentage from the 3point line and has a quick release.
    (4) Spurs made the offer so obviously they think it can work out.
    (5) Likely a veteran minimum deal, he was a rookie at 28 years old so his deal with 3 years in the league would mean $1m per.

    It could be a "guaranteed offer" to training camp, for all we know.

    He was pretty solid in his first two seasons. Looks like he had a really underwhelming season last year, though.

    Again, seems the Spurs are intent on going the "Young guys with upside" route rather than chasing 35+ year-old veterans.

    edit: err, scratch that. He's not "old", but he is 31. I just remember him entering the league a few years ago, so I assumed he was relatively young.
    was a rookie at 29. Pretty productive for the Knicks but struggled despite receiving the same amount of minutes. If the Spurs are looking for a stretch four, not as solid a choice as Matt Bonner. At least Bonner has the bulk to bang around with other bigs; Copeland still seems a bit too wiry.

    So this is why we haven't signed Rocket yet. Hmmmm. I think I'd prefer Bonner's system familiarity given that we're already bringing in a bunch of new players. But I'm also confident the FO knows what they're doing.

    Lots of folks here with their fingers crossed, hoping that Chris Copeland doesn't pick the Spurs!

    The FO loves Euro players who can make the 3 (when open). Copeland played most of his career in Europe (mostly bush leagues). Just watching him tells you that his talent level is below average. If you think Kyle Anderson is slow, Copeland is not only slow but extremely awkward and uncoordinated. Look at his post-up moves... bunch of below the rip layups against undersized guards.

    Definitely will fail anybody's eye test....

    Red Rocket is definitely gone, therefore Spurs need a favorite whipping boy.

    conclusion.... hope he signs with the Spurs.
