Yeah, did you miss the rest of the trade? Dude, you are losing it this season. You have about as much game left as Spree, which isn't very much.
First of all...
Finley > Spree
But what is more important...
is much greater than...If they really could pull off that GS/ Pietrus/trade exception for Barry, then for Brent's salary you could have Finley, Pietrus, and a cheap rookie-- say an undrafted guy. Now that would be impressive for the FO. They could still sign 2 vet minimums for a roster of 14 and be UNDER the luxury tax!
And now, I'll STFU just for you Marcus.Spree for Barry
Spree is still worth more than Barry straight up. MB hasn't lost a thing.
Man, if you don't make at least a million dollars a year and still refer to yourself in the third person, you must be walking through subway cars talking loudly about how you need to get out of the rain.
Uh oh, Mr. Body is here. Man, if you have a problem with me, well, tough.
Couldn't agree more. I think MB is only around to be the antagonist because his posts make no sense anymore.
MB is here to speak his mind. Too bad most of you are either unable to come up with your own ideas or are too scared to post them in here.
Critics are a dime a dozen in this forum.
Once upon a time, MB would have chastised Ghost Writer for coming up with trades for the sake of trades.
I'm sorry, but Spree seems to have lost his game. I doubt the Spurs would try to trade for him. Barry wasn't all that last season and it could be he was not comfortable for some reason. However, I think he will improve this next season. The trade prosped by the guy who speaks in the third is not going to happen. The Spurs will OK next season even if we don't acquire some big name.
who is going to visit Finley in Chicago? Pop (of course) and I would assume RC, but who else do we send? TD, TP, Manu, Eva?
I agree that Finley would be a big upgrade over Brent. Having Finley and Brent would give the Spurs very solid depth at swingman.
I'm totally against it too. Barry and Devin are both more valuable to the Spurs than Finley could ever be. MB makes a good point on Barry's value. Devin, of course, is an all-around fine player with tremendous upside.
If anyone thinks Finley is gonna "bear down" and start playing defense, consider this. Avery emphasizes defense as much as Pop. He basically executes the same defensive schemes as Pop. Last season, Finley drove Avery nuts for two reasons: First, he doesn't play defense. Nelson never stressed it, never required it and now it's part of who Finley is, as a player.
Secondly, he was and is simply a stand-still jump shooter who rarely goes to the rack. Translation: he rarely gets rebounds or gets to the FT line. Furthermore because he's a catch a shoot guy, the ball doesn't move around the perimeter after he gets his hands on it. This point was reinforced with the absence of Nash. I've watched this guy clang missed shots in the playoffs the past 3 seasons. Anyone remember his 1-17 performance against the Spurs in the 2002 playoffs?
Still want Finley on the team? I don't.
Pop got Glenn mother ing Robinson to play solid D, or at least try to. I am of the opinion that he can get anyone to, save for street ballas/headcases like Ron Mercer. Finley has to really want to contribute to a championship if he comes here.
Catch what Ric Bucher had to say about Fin and Miami on an ESPN live chat:
Justin - Hackettstown, NJ: With the addittion on Mike Finley are the heat the automatic favorite for the naismith trophy? I say with because at this point in finley's career he would be crazy to go anywhere else. The spurs are great but this year belongs to Miami.
SportsNation Ric Bucher: (2:22 PM ET ) I couldn't disagree with you more and my column tomorrow will explain why.
I have to agree it's not a done deal--so the extra money must not be the only deciding factor. All four teams mentioned have championship aspirations and capabilities so I think it'll boil down to playing time and status.
My guess is that he's concerned about minutes on a team like SA. Knowing Pop's weird rotations at times, I doubt he'll get much reassurance on that score.
All things considered, my prediction is Miami 75% chance.
Just a note fro Ric Bucher's Chat on ESPN.com

naismith???
You were beat to the punch by 10min Kori.
That's why the trade scenario that puts Barry on the block to Golden State is intriguing. Finley would benefit from the extra minutes and possibly become our 6th man.
SA canīt Offer Finley a Starter Spot, that can be a problem
50 cent, I know there has been some backlash against animated GIFs recently, but I want you to know that your signature has my full support.
I'd have to say that it lacks support
It only takes up like .1MB, so it's okay in my book too.
I keep waiting for some value to be added to this thread. Manny do you have any weather reports or Dopplers and stuff?
Perhaps Bucher is just going to point out that Walker and Williams are unlikely to mesh well with Shaq's game and that they would also take away touches from Finley...
