I think Evans is simply a pawn in the Spurs' efforts to retain DBrown as cheaply as possible.
Is Evans really that much of an upgrade over Devin? Or are the Spurs so nervous about Devin's back that they're willing to sign a player at the same level or a little worse than he is?
I think Evans is simply a pawn in the Spurs' efforts to retain DBrown as cheaply as possible.
Anyway, if he would have wanted to sign for more money or if some team would have offered more money he would have already signed.
I mean, he knows pretty well what San Antonio can offer.
...until another team shows up with more $.
Sounds like a possibility. I wonder if Utah will make an offer anytime soon and force the Spurs' hand.
If the Spurs wanted both DBrown and Evans then what would make sense is to sign Evans first and wait for another team to make an offer to DBrown, thinking that since the Spurs signed Evans that Brown is more expendable...
I wish this would have stayed a amnesty casualty thread.
No Finley yet?
I guess MFF (Michael Finley's ) Owner is still hoping and praying somebody will want him for an expiring contract.
Supposedly they were still trying to trade him as of this morning.
Right now he may be able to get Finley for a bag of funyons
What a bunch of idiots. Nobody is gonna trade for Finley if they can just wait it out and get him for much cheaper. Dallas is screwed.
If Finley signs with San Antonio he wouldn't have to move so far, he would still be in Texas and with a championship team.
I have a feeling that when it comes down to it, Cuban is going to shock the world and hold onto Finley. He's not going to want to live through Steve Nash part two.
I was thinking about that too...but that's just too much money even for Cuban.
Well, there is a difference. Finley costs 6 more millons. He shouldn't but he does.
I kinda have that feeling too timvp and it's because it would be the dumbest possible decision for Cuban. It makes way too much since to get rid of him and it seems as though his pride might get in the way resulting in him keeping Finley. But not even Cuban is that stupid is he???
This is like a reverse NBA draft.
Stein says Hoiberg, Vin Baker, Derrick Coleman and Troy Bell have been cut.
Fred Hoiberg - Wolves
Vin Baker - Celtics
Eddie Robinson - Bulls
Troy Bell - Grizz
Derrick Coleman - Pistons
The Wolves showing their class by waiving a player that just had to have a pacemaker put in to stop him from dying.
No wonder that franchise won't ever amount to anything.
They could be cannon fodder in the playoffs
The dude's probably never playing again, he still gets his money, what's the big deal? Have him on the roster but not have him?
This one's interesting because it's actually gotta be some remnant of Baker's contract. What makes it interesting is that Baker himself may also be waived by Houston later today.
If you get amnesty waived by two clubs on the same day, does that pretty much mean your career is over?
