reggie evans is fukn not even used in denver, be good if we could get him
oberto doesn't really help us win now unless we play the jazz every year in the western conference finals........... he was worthless against the suns, and he'll be worthless against the mavs........ so he is not worth anything then what he has now but maybe a year added on....... so if he gets more then 2 years it would be a waste of money.........

I wouldn't bet against itoberto doesn't really help us win now unless we play the jazz every year in the western conference finals
I was as anti-Oberto as the best of us, coming into this past season knowing he was going to be our starting center. I thought it was hopeless. But he changed my mind with his playoff performance. We shouldn't break what we got going. However.....teams are really really stupid and may offer Oberto wayyy more than he's worth this summer. If that be the case its not a good idea to resign him. But its all moot. We all know if Obert is offered even what he is truely worth, we wont resign him.
If he could do all those things, it would actually be very pleasant.
Gah Oberto's a .
To me, Oberto's most vital attribute is that Pop trusts him to close out games. Pop has only trusted five bigs in his history of coaching to close out games: Duncan, Robinson, Rose, Horry and now Oberto. With Horry retiring after next year, that'd put the Spurs in an ugly predicament if they couldn't replace Oberto with another guy Pop trusts.
It'd be the return of small ball
Good point. Look at the contracts they gave Horry and Rose.
So he has until midnight tonight to make a decision?
Nope , pretty much the whole summer I think. Hopefully he'll make the "right" choice and stay with his buddy Ginobili and the Spurs.
Manu did the same in 2004...
...poor Karl
If legend is true, and for all you who insist he has to go to another team so his lifestyle can be drastically changed by increasing his salary by 1 million a year:
Speedy Claxston.
No one can ever prove it one way or the other but I would hope contibuting to 2 or 3 les might have been better for him then what he got.
I think he's gone
some team is going to offer him 10-15mil, I mean he was AWESOME in the Jazz series and he is a starting C on a le team
but he's also nothing w/o Duncan
So, when will we know whether he's staying or not?
meh. i doubt oberto gets big money, contender offers. he will likely get a high offer from a loser, some 4 mill offers from a contender, and 3 mill from the spurs- question is if they give him 2 or 3 years, and who holds the options. but i dont think he will leave over a million dollars.
I think he is more likely to leave if a euro contender offers him a long 2-3 mill per deal. But i dont think any euro team would throw that kind of money on an aging guy who isnt enough of a scorer to be a franchise player.
I would bet that he stays and the 08 plan goes out the window. it doesnt make sense to open up capspace for more talented players you arent necessarily going to get- you could just easily end up overpaying somebody worse than oberto. Flexibility is great, but there is too much risk to stripping down to just the big 3 and have nothing but question marks 4-12. they should have learned the lesson by now.
i laugh if one of our nemises picks him up aka suns/mavs....
Elson should be more comfortable and better next year. But , I hope we keep Oberto. His experience and toughness will be missed in the playoffs. You know he's gonna give you his heart and soul like Manu.
Pay him the 3 to 4 mil per year for three years and get it done.
That sounds to me like a reasonable offer, but my guess is that someone (Chicago/Toronto/Memphis) comes over the top with an additional guaranteed year and maybe $1M/yr more.
Spurs would probably match a 3yr $10-12M contract (personally, I would also think the Spurs would try to get a team option for year 3, but that's just me), but it would be much tougher to match a 4yr $16-20M deal....
I don't think the Spurs match a four year offer. Hopefully no one offers him more than three.
If it's 4.5 to 5 mil a year for three, I would do that too.
3yr, $15M for Oberto? If there were no other options, I'd say you probably take that deal, but in this system you just plug a new guy in next to Tim and see how it goes....and the Spurs have so many options to plug (Elson, Butler, Scola, PJ Brown or other FA, a possible draftee...and let's not forget Horry for one more year).
If that deal has a Team Option in year 3....maybe.
But of course, this is just my opinion and the Spurs have to make up their own damn minds...
I can't help but to be a selfish Spurs fan:
If Oberto ends up in a ing Grizzlies or Bobcats uni next year then I hope he feels ing stupid and lonely when his season is over by mid-December.
Oberto. 2 years max.
Anymore than that is a waste of our 08 $$$$$..
Damn so we won't know for awhile
Id give Fabbo 3 years, (up to) $4 million a year with team option on the third year and thats about it. Anything more than that and bye bye. We've got Elson and Butler and can get more if we need them. It would hurt losing the guy but no sense mortgaging the future on a smart journeyman. As for Finley, I think he'll be back. He's got one more year of crazy money from the Mavs and maybe he'll feel like since everybody helped him get his ring, he'll stick around for one more here.
3yr/12million is the highest I'll go.
Uh, the future is now.
