Knicks decline to match Spurs' offer to Butler

[Mr. Body]

The only guy happier than we are right now is Jackie Butler.

[dimsah]

About damn time we got some news. Any news. I was getting bored.

[MannyIsGod]

Come Back Radoslav!!

Man, if he didnt' have that contract I'd personally love a frnotcourt of Butler/Duncan/Horry/Rasho.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

I'm glad we are getting younger in the starting 5

[picnroll]

A center with hands. Add one assist to Parker's average.

[timvp]

Congrats to the San Antonio Spurs for landing their first restricted free agent in franchise history.

Got a little lucky but the Spurs were in line for luck at some point this summer.

[Mr. Body]

Now, ship him out to the Summer Leagues!

[cheguevara]

Isaiah Thomas comes through for the opposing teams again!

[T Park]

My only problem witht his signing, is he isn't that great a rebounder.


Other than that, the jury is out.

Have to disagree with you again my man, he averaged 3 and a half in thirteen minutes a game, that translates well with more minutes

[DFW Spurs]

Good signing and didn't have to break the bank. Spurs can develop a young player like him. Is it just me, he Sort of reminds me of Malik Rose?

[ChumpDumper]

Welcome, enormous manchild. Welcome.

[MannyIsGod]

timvp never wanted Elson.

I don't care at this point. Not like anyone out there is any better.

[timvp]

Uh yeah he is. At 20 he averaged 10 boards per 40 minutes. That's pretty impressive and the highest rebounding rate for any free agent other than Reggie Evans.

I'm glad you are not hyping him like you did the last three centers (Rasho, Nazr, Francisco)

[Melmart1]

Does this mean that some of the posters on this board will put away the razors?

[ducks]

I think spurs should now bring in ian
pop and company can work with both at the same time

[dimsah]

and he shoots over 70% on his FT's!
We'll fix that real quick.

[Budkin]

YES!!! WOOOOOO!

[SpursWoman]

Have to disagree with you again my man, he averaged 3 and a half in thirteen minutes a game, that translates well with more minutes

Roughly 11 per 48 minutes.

[picnroll]

Now go out and snag Woods.

[timvp]

I can barely live with Elson just because the Spurs got Butler. Elson is about five steps back but Butler is six steps forward.

But I'd rather Elson got matched and the Spurs go out and get someone better. Spending more than half the MLE on Francisco Freakin' Elson is a joke.

[mardigan]

yeah, 3.5 boards a game with only 13 minutes a game is fan- ing-tastic

[T Park]

When in the did I ever hype Francisco Elson?

At 20 he averaged 10 boards per 40 minutes. That's pretty impressive and the highest rebounding rate for any free agent other than Reggie Evans.

I was just told by a reliable source


That his rebounding numbers were similar to Rasho at 3.3 a game.

75 last year to be exact

You cant get many boards without many minutes
