Reply With QuoteThe Spurs are obviously not interested in Odom. It also makes no sense to overpay for the "chance" of getting a RFA in Odom who we're not even sure has his head on straight and has been injury prone.
I wanted odom too. The drug situation is apparently too much to stomach.
If he gets suspended again, they'll look smart. If he blows up and doesn't get suspended, well then , ****.
We'll see.

Oh yeah, TwoHand. Horry at $5,000,000 is a much better scenario.
Ghost, you are engaging in some of the most pointless ing imaginable.
Come on Ghost, Odom will be a Clipper. They're working on extending his contract for 5 years. Read the news man.
It's time to start filling out our roster. That offer to Horry is 100K above what any of the teams (like Dallas) could pay him.
AHF
Odom is one infraction away from either a season long or lifetime ban.
A week ago you two jabronis were all over Odom.
Sorry I am not thrilled about a Nesterovic/Horry summer.
We're resorting to filling out the bench with overpriced players just because we have money to burn and no one good wants to sign with us... or we're too afraid to go out and sign them.
Whoopty-friggin' do.
The Rasho/Horry summer shouldn't be viewed as that. It still leaves us with $6-7 mil in cap room to add talent via a trade. Have some faith- the summer ain't over yet.
I am counting on that trade, scott. I hope Horry for $5 million doesn't hamper that, that's all.
I was told yesterday by a Spurs source that this deal was dead and that the Spurs were starting to offer contracts to other FA's (which is now evidenced by the Horry article).
I will have him double-check today about this trade to make sure. My assumption at this point is that this is just hopeful thinking on the part of the Knicks, or a rumor that just won't die.
If I find out otherwise, I'll let you know.
TO ME!
It seems the deal is dead, they wouldnt be trying to sign Robert Horry and trade for a 13 million dollar Spree.
Horry Pike and others seem to be coming.....
Sprewell > Rose > Jack > Piatkowski > Horry
Next.
Rose + Jack + Piatkowski/Horry + $7 Cap space > Spreewell.
Next.
agree 100% Scott....
And you two obviously don't understand that it wouldn't take all of that to get Spree.
Next.
It wouldnt???
I see......
Guess they ins uted a limitless cap number then.
The deal is Rose to Philly and Spree to us.
Jack is the odd man out on the minutes as Pop sticks with his old reliable, Bruce Bowen.
We can no longer afford Piatkowski or Horry, because we have no cap space.
Pop didn't stick with ol' reliable when it mattered most in the playoffs.
He went with Jackson.
The Spurs could still afford Horry if we traded Rose to get Sprewell, champ.
Piatkowski would not be needed with Sprewell, Manu and Jack on the squad.
You were saying?
Question.
If the Spurs are offering $5M to Horry, then they only have around $7M to make the Spree deal. That means they'd have to get rid of both Rose AND Bowen's contracts to have room for Spree. I don't see them considering that.
As a sidenote to Ghost: your boy Jack's agent is being a jerk, but the Spurs are working hard on his deal.
$7 million and Rose's contract isn't enough for Sprewell?
Even more reason not to bring in Horry for $5 million.
In your imaginary world, Pop would suddenly show Bowen the door, replacing him with Jackson in the starting lineup.Pop didn't stick with ol' reliable when it mattered most in the playoffs.
He went with Jackson.

In the real world, Jackson is gone or benched if we bring in Spreewell. You can choose to live in your world, or reality. But don't whine like a baby when your fantasies don't come true.
As Kori corrected you, the Spurs would have to get rid of of Rose AND Bowen to get both Spree and Horry.
You are right the Spurs would not need Piatkowski with Spree, Manu, and Jack on the team... expect Jack wouldn't be a critical player on the team. That leaves us with the initial equation.
Rose + Jack + Horry + $7Mil Caproom > Spree.
You were saying?
No Rose's contract isn't enough.
$7M (room) + $~5M (Malik) < $13.5M (needed for Spree)
This Spree trade ain't happening because neither the Knicks or Sixers need Rose or Bowen and the Spurs don't want to give up Manu--and at least one of those guys would have to go out in any trade for Spree.
Pretty simple.
Why would the Spurs want Spree anyway? Dude's a freaking cancer. Maybe the Blazers should sign him?
The thing that really makes the most sense is this:
S&T Speedy plus draft pick + ? other throwin for Spree.
-Knicks need point guard
-Speedy goes home, and wasn't going to sign with Spurs anyway
No third team needed.
