Not at all, but i haven't been terribly vigilant. I admit to a creeping complacency after the Finley signing.
That should mean a blockbuster trade is just around the corner.
Have you heard any rumblings about Rodney White?

Perhaps a Rasho, Barry and Beno trade to a team with caproom or a trade exception. Throw in a couple expiring contracts, if necessary, and the Spurs might bite.
But then again, that'd make too much sense.
Another thing to think about -- Boston already has too many guaranteed contracts, so a guy like Qyntel Woods could be available at some point. The Spurs could afford to wait after this drama plays out.
Qyntel Woods or Theron Smith sound like perfect guys for a 14th man role on the roster.
I say we gotta let Devin go. He is certainly not worth the $5M it would cost with his questionable back. I hate that we are going to lose him, but it doesn't make sense to keep him.
Nobody is worth three of my favorites. Have a nice trip Devin.
Trade Barry! Maybe then SA will be able to re-sign Devin, and give Fin an extension if he does well. He is younger than Barry ya know.
BTW, Kori, your new Avatar screws with my head!!!
Yeah, I don't want D-Brown to leave.
I think we are set the way we are.
well personally i would like for the spurs t oresign devin,,,but with the current rostrer there is n oplaying time for him,,so i thin kthe best thing for devins career is to go ahead and play with the jazz.
I like Devin. He has a good future ahead of him. In other cir stances, I would probably want to keep him. However, we have so much other talent that could play at that position and it will cost $5 million to keep him (due to luxury tax from what you all are saying). I think that $5 million is too much to pay for somebody who will hardly play in games.
I also believe that Barry will have a much better year than he did last year. I think that his outside shooting will return to normal (like over the last five years).
Let Devin go get his PT for the Jazz, there will be plenty of spots for him to fill over the next few years as guys retire.
I don't agree that the Spurs are resigned to losing Nazr in free agency. I would certainly hope Pop and R.C. are smarter than that. He's a viable commodity and serves a purpose. Had it not been for his contributions, the championship would not have been possible.
I do agree that Rasho will have to be dealt and, of course, Oberto is still an unproven commodity.
so we going to give him 10mil a season?
how much is Nazr making now?
Five million.
Devin's back is blown.... you can't totally fix disk disease... PERIOD..
There is no amount of technology that gives it a 100% fix (I have 8 bad disks myself).
The selfish part of me says that the Spurs should re-sign Devin Brown because he is "homeboy" product. In a perfect world, he would play his whole career in SA, win several rings, and retire his number here in SA. However, I seriously doubt the Spurs will match unless a trade offer comes along that allows the Spurs to re-sign Devin. I don't think any team in the NBA wants to help the Spurs out especially after the moves they have made. If the Spurs match, I will be very surprised, however, how many minutes will Devin play? It seems to me that D. Brown wants to play a significant amount of minutes. I don't see that happening after the Spurs signed Finley.
ok, heres a question:
NVE and Fin are signed for 1 yr, Devin's offer sheet with Utah has the 2nd yr @ team option........giving we unload Rasho/Beno/Barry either this season or next....
What are the chances that Devin Brown could become a Spur again???
(and yes i maybe living in a fantasy world.. but it could happen)
5 Million for Devin? Not in this space/time dimension. Too bad because he is a homeboy, etc., but not that much money for a 13th man.
Wish him well and let him shine in Utah.
Exactly.
I will say this, the Spurs are experts at sending mixed signals when it comes to personnel moves. Let's not forget that it seemed all but certain that the Spurs would not extend TP last year because of his price.
In regards to the tax, if the Spurs hadn't been able to feast off of that program for the last few seasons then I might not be so critical today.
If Oberto is NBA starting material the Spurs have a NBA starting center at $2.5 mil per for the next 3 seasons. If Mohammed's price next summer is around $50+ mil over 5 or 6 seasons might it will not be surprising to see him end up elsewhere. The Spurs then can continue to feast off of the lux tax program and remain a contender.
Let's not forget that the motivation behind moving Rose, above all else, was his contract.
In youth is our future!
Nuff said.
Actually I was thinking the exact same thing. NVE probably doesn't have another season left after this one, and who knows what Finley is going to want to do after this year. If Utah doesn't want to exercise that option for some reason then the Spurs could definitely get him back and he'd probably jump at less money to come here. If they do exercise the option then maybe the Spurs can extend Finley, find a stopgap, or bring in one of their Euro projects. Devin doesn't seem to hold a lot of animosity towards the Spurs over this situation so I don't think it's unreasonable to think that he'd want to be back in silver and black again.
