looks like Spurs made an offer to Giricek

[ceperez]

He signed the contract already and I don't think the agent gained anything by saying this after the fact.

I also seriously doubt that the agent will be on the record on something that was a complete fabrication. If he did say the Spurs made an offer, then it's likely that the Spurs can't deny the fact.

Nice thing about Giricek was that he was pretty mobile in his offense and would take the occasional mid range jumper. Something both Barry and Finley never did last season!

Oh well, the European option is ruining the Spurs plan of trying to sign bargain basement players.

we'll never truly know who the Spurs are going or went after though because they don't tell it and everyone knows that. So there is total deniability all the way around

[Spurs Brazil]

If the offer was on the table even after we sign Finley we my bring another player.

Why not Q.Ross

I really think Q. could be a Spur sometime in the not-so-far future, especially when Bruce finally begins to show signs he's slowing down, but right now he doesn't do anything on the offensive side of the ball consistently enough to warrant a serious look. One never knows though....except, the team locked up Finley.

damn we had to resort to making an offer to giricek.. looks like talent is thin right now.

[Darthkiller]

I think spurs just did that so he would go to europe and not sign with the suns. Almost everyone the spurs tries to sign ends up go to europe.

[timvp]

He plays defense? WTF? Thats a new one.

Giricek was the perimeter stopper on the Jazz. When Manu got hot, he'd be the one Sloan would turn to.

That said, the Jazz have been horrible at guarding the perimeter for the last decade, so being the designated stopper on that team isn't saying too much.

I hope it doesn't come out that Shawn Kemp turned down the Spurs to play in Europe.

I hope it doesn't come out that Shawn Kemp turned down the Spurs to play in Europe.

...or further insult, perhaps Shawn Bradley turns the Spurs down to stay on the couch.

If the numbers Kill Bill is throwing around on the NBA board are even remotely accurate the Spurs could have offered the entire MLE and still fallen well short. I'd rather have him than Finley but I don't think that's where this season will be won or lost. Oh well.

I have read about 8.5 million $ for 2 seasons. if this number is about 1/2 of what Kill Bill trows around, it should be pretty accurate.

Did they make an offer to Delfino?

[nil.ball]

Everybody use spurs as their salary booster. That's all haha. I am sure he went and tell those european teams, "Look I got an offer from spurs, I am l77t!"
