    Who do you think Spurs FO would rather have Drew Gooden or Sheed? Gooden is youner might be alittle more athletic than Sheed but i think Sheed might have a Higher basketball IQ. I personally thought Drew did a pretty good job given his short stint and lack of playing time. His defense was suspect but might be able to turn it around given some time with SA.

    So he'll abandon his Bird Right to sign somewhere else? He'll take the MLE on another team rather than stay in LA for 6.5? Even if he thought that was too low - it makes more sense to re-sign with LA for one year at MLE and try next year - where he can at least hope for S&T.

    And I'd make this argument regardless of the player or team. That's NBA Basketball Econ 101.
    Where in post I said he'd go somewhere else for the MLE? I just said MLE... and I was thinking MLE with LA for one year if he doesn't get the offer he is looking for...

    What you have to have in mind is that having overpaid role players on the team forces you to pay for better contributors... and question... who will want to land either Walton or Sasha? my bad... probably Memphis...

    Sorry Guys , i am late. ;

    But this afternoon in France, we got confirmation from the Los Angeles Times that the SPURS and SUNS are actually trying to get ODOM..

    I do not know if the Los Angeles Times has something to do with HoopsHype....

    Just to let you all inform.

    Funny that we got this news first here in France!!
    Hoopshype does not write the storys, they just provide links to all of the hot rumors from all of the newspapers, etc.... So blame this on the LA Times.

    i'm always mistrustful of hoopshype but i would take the LA times more seriously. and one also has to wonder what agents put out there for teams to hear so as to up the ante on their players.

    Who is going to offer them $10 mil?

    Portland is blowing their wad on Hedo.

    Detroit is close to getting Gordon and want Charlie V.

    Memphis and OKC have no interest - and are going for Lee/Millsap.

    Name a team that's going to give them a $10 mil an offer and you may have an argument. LA isn't going to do it just because. Ludden has it right - they are valued but it would be for MLE money - something LA easily outbids.

    Think, research, and get back at me.

    Maybe a team, as Houston did with Scola or the Cavs with their new Chinese co-owners or Nets with a Chinese party interested in getting a piece of them, can give Odom or Ariza an MLE deal and then a lucrative Chinese endorsement deal on the side to supplement their income.

    Maybe Odom will become the new Caterpillar spokesman. I can see it now "Caterpillar, built Odom tough".

    lol...people still confuse hoopsHYPE.com with HoopsWORLD.com..both are news aggregators, hoopsworld has a staff of writers who do weekly chats...that is where most of the rumors come from...& why do people get all bent out of shape if nothing comes of a rumor? ITs a rumor, meaning it might happen, it might not. There are a lot of smoke and mirrors right now from GM,s Coaches & agents, take any basketball info with a grain of salt right now.

    Personally, I think the Spurs would prefer Sheed first. There's no question that he has the higher basketball IQ, is way more versatile, and is a much tougher defender, by far. On the other hand, Gooden is still young and a superior low-post offensive player. While he has his flaws, he's still a viable option for the Spurs, but only if they can't get Sheed or Dice.

    Hopefully, this rumor is false. Odom is more of a big city guy, so I doubt he'd come to SA if the money is equavalent.

    (Odom would drive Pop crazy.)

    This rumor can't be true at all. I'm sure if the Spurs' FO has said anything like this to anyone, they're just blowing a load of smoke. No possible way the Spurs could clear any cap space for Odom.

    Hoopshype is a fine site. As others said, this ain't their fault.

    Originally I wanted Odom more than any other FA, but now with Jefferson, Gist, and Blair all here to play the 3/4, we have no need for another 3/4 tweener

    I support this rumor. If we can get Odom away from LA and get the Suns to pony 10 mil because they think we are interested then it is a great rumor. More than likely it is just an Agent feedling the LA times to try and drive up interest for his client.

    The whole clearing cap room part makes no sense and is just BS.

    Now, Spurs have nothing to lose at calling Odom and his agent. Even if Odom signing with Spurs for the MLE has about a 0.1% probability of happening, it's worth the phone call.

    no to odom for 10 mil a year.

    On another note, I like that we are being active this offseason and that we have been mentioned quite a bit. Looks like the FO is pissed we miss out on championship the last two years.

    Spurs driving up interest I like. The more money Odom thinks he's worth, the better.

    Exactly. Odom has already said he wants to stay in LA, but he's not going to let them get away with lowballing him. That's why the news came out in the LA Times. His agent is just trying to get his price tag up to a certain level.

    LA has no idea how fortunate they are to have Odom. He's a super talanted player who doesn't mind playing with the tyrant Bryant.

    Every real basketball fan knows that if Lamar plays well, the Lakers win.

    If Odom were to leave and come to San Antonio, we would win the championship without any doubt whatsoever.
