Spurs Re-Sign Horry

[Xolotl]

I'm just glad he didn't go to the Heat. Wasn't Shaq talking about a restructuring deal to bring him there?

[ChumpDumper]

To me, this means that the contract is probably - $5M first year, $5.5M second year, $6M third year but third year's only partial guaranteed -- meaning the Spurs can pay him like $2M for the third year and buy out the contract. Bowen has the same $2M buyout for the fourth year of his contract.

If Horry retires as he said after two years, that last year becomes tradeable a la Ferry as well.

This signing is great news.

I was hoping he could go to Miami so he could lose.

(4) Nesterovic - through 2008-09

(2) Bowen - through 2006-07 with team option for 2007-08
(2) Udrih - through 2006-07 with team option for 2007-08
(2) Horry - through 2006-07 with team option for 2007-08

you should have known that wouldnt happen as soon as you heard shaq was thinking about restructuring his contract... the only reason shaq would restructure his contract is to get some of it paid in doughnuts instead of dollars.

It is the first time you were somewhat funny. We can both agree though that Shaq is an asshole.

[constantstate]

first time?

[SpursChampsIII]

I didn't think we could win the le without Big Shot Bob next year...he brings sooooo many intangibles. We do need to start grooming someone younger now...Scola is 25 and it just seems like it is now or never to bring him in. I hope we have enough cap to get that done! As far as point guard, that's not a concern...did you see how Manu and Brent looked playing together in the Finals? Beno is a nice complementary player with a nice shot (most of the time). Looking good for a repeat, ladies and gents!

[Kori Ellis]

He (Horry's agent) told KRIV that while Horry considered signing with the Dallas Mavericks, "Robert's love for the Spurs organization, head coach Gregg Popovich and the city of San Antonio was too much for him to walk away from."

[xcoriate]

sweet sweet news

[shyne]

Yes

[shyne]

more nut grabbing back breakers for at leas a couple of years!

[Horry For 3!]

I in told everyone, Horry would re-sign for 3 more years.

[Horry For 3!]

I put that in every thread about horry that he will re-sign for like 3 more years.

[Spursdaone]

Now you can keep your screen name without hostility.

You had to say this?

Mister "horry is shaq's "

[Spursdaone]

Why hasn't anyone given SequSpur ? He is the one that started that rumor that Horry is going to Miami.

[Horry For 3!]

Yeah, that dude is lame. Sayin Horry will leave when i'm the Horry fan and I knew he would re-sign for 3 years.

[Kori Ellis]

Well Sequ didn't exactly start the rumor. He just posted it. It's been in about every newspaper and radio show that Horry considered Miami (and Dallas).

Besides Sequ is Sequ, he's like T Park but he actually jokes around..

[Spursdaone]

SequSpur made it sound like it was a done deal.

Not too many people are talking about the new offseason regimen Horry started last summer to be better prepared for a great season/postseason. Horry himself pretty much said it was the reason he was able to perform so much better this season. Anybody know if the Spurs help design it / suggested it, or if it was all Horry's idea?

[leemajors]

and you swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

The Spurs have all of their players on offseason workout regimens. I'm guessing they gave instructions to Horry last summer and he followed through on it. And you're right, that could be a big reason why he had his legs in the playoffs this season.

An overlooked fact about the Spurs is pretty much everyone on their roster is on tip top shape. That was another thing Pop changed when he got to San Antonio. He hired some top of the line trainers and those trainers are directed by Pop to stay on all the players year round about being in shape. Even when Manu or Tony go home in the offseason to their respective countries, the Spurs will send a trainer there to make sure they are working out.
