What are we supposed to do? Celebrate this Vodka drinking ing us at the last moment with a punk ass powerplay? Our hero.


Did it hurt when your mama dropped you on your head? Tool!

So, when you typed your reply, did you purposely make it an irrelevant response? Because I didn't say anything about celebrating or not worrying about it.

The point is, you have one report saying he's about to sign - and people are pumped, and you have one report saying he's not - and it's ' him! let him rot there! we don't need him!' And when he does come over here, you'll be back to jocking him. Nobody knows what the he is doing - and you don't get that.

You're a freaking joke, whottt. You're a punchline.

better than ing blasting away at this guy when nothing has even happened yet. not to mention Reports yesterday had him on his way to SA. But hey - dont let an absense of facts get in the way of asshole ripping.

YAY

WERE LOSING OUT ON A GOOD CENTER THAT WOULD HELP IMMEDIATELY!!!!

YAY


better?

Again - one report says he's coming. One report says he's not. Now, that leads me to believe that there's no definite answer, wouldn't you say?

You're already calling the offseason a failure.

Wait for something to happen - or , at least let the reports go to a 2:1 ratio.

Javtokas wasn't resigning with Ryatas because they are not playing in the top division again next year. Macabi is losing their big man Vujacic I think to the NBA, so they need a replacement because they definitely want to remain at or near the top in Europe. Javtokas is their best answer and they probably just made him a sweet offer.

[whottt]

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum...what we say or do here has no bearing on what the Spurs will do...nor will it have any bearing on what Javtokas will do. Why are you acting as if it does? If you can prove we hurt Javtokas feelings or something, then do so...otherwise what are you bringing to this dicussion relevant to the topic?

S'what I thought.


Why don't you two forum cops go cornhole each other to celebrate your levelheadedness...

I heard nothing about that. Everything I heard said Vujacic never wants to leave Europe. I'd almost take him over Javtokas.

Pretty sure I didn't even hint at any of those, but carry on.

The sky is falling. Javtokas is never coming. We're lottery bound.

[ChumpDumper]

Well if he isn't coming over, that complicates things a bit.

[FromWayDowntown]

Again - one report says he's coming. One report says he's not. Now, that leads me to believe that there's no definite answer, wouldn't you say?

Except that the report seems to say pretty clearly that Javtokas is inclined to take the Maccabi offer. If there's confusion, Javtokas has created it.

Yeah and Reports yesterday had his team thinking he would end up in the Spurs training camp this summer and on the roster for next season so they moved ahead

[T Park]

then you are forced to go for Scola, and hope you can score a rebounding big through FA or sign and trade.

Well, there are always these: Of course, it's early to decide what will happen, because only yeasterday LRytas newspaper said, that Javtokas is almost finished to negotiate with Spurs about his contract.

and

"Whole article is about R.Javtokas' possible replacement in LRytas - E.Zukauskas. and only last chapter says that in R.Javtokas and Spurs contract left to finish financial details."

and

Finally, he says that he doesn't plan to have a contract prior to World Championship in Japan - all things most probably will be resolved thereafter.



No argument from me that there's confusion. If he stays, he stays. But, these reports don't state solidly that he will or won't.

[genghisrex]

I heard nothing about that. Everything I heard said Vujacic never wants to leave Europe. I'd almost take him over Javtokas.

I think I read somewhere yesterday that Vujacic might go to the Raptors.

I think I was a little off on Vujcic. Seems he's leaving Maccabi but not to the NBA. Seems he signed Real Madrid.

[Ariel]

Amente over at sr said today the Spurs and Javtokas were very close and just waiting for the cap numbers to come out and July 1 to finish the deal

Actually he said it was close, but not guaranteed.

trade his rights.

If he aint coming this year, he aint never coming.


Well that sure s up the offseason already.

@ whottt


Trade his rights.

Do a Giricek with this stiff.

It might be hard to trade his rights if his mind is set on staying in Europe, unless they find a taker immediately who's willing to talk him into signing w/them by guaranteeing more minutes + money than the Spurs can.

Think that was Garbajosa.

[FromWayDowntown]

I suppose there would be a bit more confidence if this article said something like Javtokas got a significant offer from Maccabi, but has said that he's interested in seeing what the Spurs have to offer before making any decisions.

[Mr. Body]

Man, this forum is bipolar. Now all of a sudden Javtokas is the biggest backstabber since Benedict Arnold, when actually nothing is settled. This might be floated out there to make sure San Antonio is serious and get a better bargaining position than if he had no other offers. That's business smart.

[Kori Ellis]

The article says "in interview for Israel press said ..."

Your best bet is to find that interview and translate it. Then you'll know what Javtokas said himself. I'm pretty sure that I saw that article a few days ago (it's in Hebrew) and it came out PRIOR to the article that came out yesterday.

Umm.. I know that. And that article is in Lithuanian and says IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ISRAELI PRESS .

So you need to find that original interview (which wasn't today) which is in Hebrew.

[T Park]

If he thinks the SPurs are gonna flop out big money for him, before hes even proved anything in the NBA.

Then hes wrong.

IMO, if he came over, and proved that hes a good rebounder, shot blocker, and athletic, hed be the starting center.

Exactly.

It could be something like him saying "I would be honored to play for Maccabi next year" to the local paper there, and having it turned into the headline "Javtokas Leaning Toward Maccabi." Crap like that happens with US free agents all the time.
