So I have everything in writing to make sure I got all my bases covered.
I love you guys! You're great.
(BTW - If everything goes to plan I may well be back in SA next March April for a fortnight or so... fingers crossed!)
Well that would be terrific! Hopefully for playoff time, but if not, anytime you can see the Spurs (and us!) would be great!I love you guys! You're great.

By the way, I'm sure LJ is researching a long post right now on how Devin Brown is great. I am not against Devin, I just don't think he gets minutes behind Barry/Finley.
Well, if Beno is injured or not doing well, Barry may take over at backup PG...
I see no reason why we can't have him for the min.
Yeah, we should bring back Malik Rose [/Marcus Bryant]
Good job LJ!
If Beno isn't playing well/injured, Vaughn will be the backup point guard.
Seems odd that an NBA team would pay Devin not to play for them in favor of--
--Dajuan Wagner.
But it is Mullin after all.
Barry hasn't shown the ability to beat out Devin for playing time when both are healthy. With Barry, Finley and Bowen having a combined age of over 100, you'd think Spurs fans would be open to getting insurance for the minimum. Especially insurance which has proven to be able to play in the Spurs' system and come up big in the playoffs.
I guess not.
Get him screw Barry.
Brent Barry is about to start the worse season of his career--besides his game 1 buzzer beater last year, he really did jack all last season too, and I'd be unsurprisingly happy when Devin beats out Barry for minutes: not only does he D and rebound better, but he's young and has HUTHLE.
Is Devin healthy?
Devin's back is like that of a 100-year-old, so I think it's all goodWith Barry, Finley and Bowen having a combined age of over 100, you'd think Spurs fans would be open to getting insurance for the minimum.I guess not.
Honestly I don't mind Devin here. I just don't think he's going to beat anyone out of minutes. The main swing rotation is Manu/Bowen/Fin. Barry gets spot minutes and then Devin gets scraps? If they are going to use the 15th spot (which they might not) I'd rather it be a young guy that they can possible mold to be Bruce's replacement. Not Devin, who will never be Bruce's replacement.
but some people are content with other people's scraps
He missed one game last year. I guess the back problems the Spurs' PR machine put out there were a little overexaggerated.
Finley hasn't played all 82 game in years. Barry hasn't played 82 games in his 13 year career.
Or so the PR machine would want Spurs fans to believe.Devin's back is like that of a 100-year-old, so I think it's all good
Yeah, nobody ever expects it. But his last year here, he beat Barry out of minutes. The year before, he beat Bruce Bowen out of minutes in the playoffs.Honestly I don't mind Devin here. I just don't think he's going to beat anyone out of minutes.
Again, Devin has shown he can beat out Barry for minutes. And to put Barry down for minutes would be ignoring how he choked in the playoffs in all but a couple games.The main swing rotation is Manu/Bowen/Fin. Barry gets spot minutes and then Devin gets scraps?
Like who? Melvin Sanders sucks. Richard Melzer is as old as Devin Brown. Jamar Smith is a power forward. Jared Reiner is the white Steve Erkel. Charles Lee averaged like 2 minutes in summer league. Olu Famiataimsaireameiamaiamami went to Arkansas.If they are going to use the 15th spot (which they might not) I'd rather it be a young guy that they can possible mold to be Bruce's replacement.
Compared to what the Spurs invited to camp, Devin would be a great option.
And taller by four inches with a huge wingspan. I'd rather wait and see what he can bring. I know what Devin has to offer. Spurs need an eventual small forward replacement. Devin isn't it.Richard Melzer is as old as Devin Brown.
Guys like Devin Brown are a dime a dozen. Sure, he's played in the system already and he's somewhat of a known quan y, but his ceiling is low. Why sign Devin to sit on the bench? If they want somelike Devin Brown during the regular season, they can just sign a player just like Devin Brown. Otherwise, they can give a young guy a chance to get around the team or hold that spot for a useful veteran if one becomes available.
If the season comes down to Devin Brown being a key for his alleged ability to defend Dirk, I think the Spurs are in trouble anyway.
Shoot for superiority, not mediocrity. I like Devin, but the need isn't there right now.
I'd be game to bringing Devin back.
So were Malik Rose, Avery Johnson, and James Silas when the Spurs picked them up off waivers.
BTW, I wouldn't be opposed to us bringing Devin back, I just think we should temper expectations that he becomes our sixth man, or a Dirk Stopper, etc.
All Devin would have to do on Dirk is be a pest...... He is athletic and can jump.... I am sure Devin would be able to guard Dirk alot better than most of what we currently have on the roster. Getting him for the minimum wouldn't be a bad idea.....
The Spurs Are Old And Devin Is Young I Said
What about trading Eric Williams for a draft pick in 2007 or waiving him..... I believe Devin would be a better fit here than Williams.....
Bing- Bing- we have a winner.
I have never been able clearly to understand, but apparently the Spurs were not interested in bringing Devin back. What they said about how they would have kept him would they have not been able to get Finley was for the home town fans of the home town boy. Believe me or not- if Finley had not come, the Spurs were set to sign Jason Kapono. No joke. That is why he signed so late with Miami. I don't know if the Spurs simply felt like he got his chance and didn't do enough-- or if it was something else.
It's not that I think Devin is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but he is a fine option for the minimum. People forget, he outplayed many a Spurs swing man in 2004 against the Lakers.
Too short to play small forward, late to practice, missing practices, a back condition that might be problematic in the future. All those things add up.I don't know if the Spurs simply felt like he got his chance and didn't do enough-- or if it was something else.
Again, I don't mind Devin here. But I'd rather have someone who could eventually replace Bruce.
