We can. But not the full MLE (Baynes)
We have the MLE, we can offer the most money
We can. But not the full MLE (Baynes)
Pretty sure we would have used his Early Bird rights to sign him, not the MLE
No, we indeed used part of our MLE to sign Baynes due to a technicality in the new CBA. I can't remember what that is, but there's a long-winded explanation somewhere in the Think Tank.
And this:
If the Spurs can sign this guy it's worth it, but yeah he probably signs with Dallas, Clips or Suns.
Perfect match imo.

Just his ability to hit the mid range jumper > everything Error has to offer.
Come on 20!
I like that the Spurs showed interest. I don't think he will come here. I thought Dallas was going after Jermaine O'Neal. I think Amare would be a better fit in Portland and O'Neal in Dallas.
I wonder if STAT would take a two-year, $6.5 Million deal? It's a good gamble for the Spurs if Tim intends to come back, as they would use the MLE for this season on a player who could play a key role next season (keeping next year's MLE intact). They would also have a decent contract to trade if Amar'e busts. From Amar'e's perspective, he will probably struggle to earn $6.5 Million over this year and next, so it makes sense financially.
This is just a garbage spewed by his agent to get him more interest. Amare is pretty much worthless at this point. Grant it, I think he could still rack up points in the Spurs PnR system, but defensively, he is worse than even Kyle Anderson at this point at the PF position.
Don't see any upside to giving him a 2 year deal. Nobody else is going to offer one, and even if they do all the contenders have left is the minimum. I'd give him whatever we have left from the MLE for this season to give us a chance to evaluate him.
Sure he's a bad defender, but with the way this team has struggled on offence this year we could use him even if it's just for 10 minutes a game to throw the ball in to the post.
He's finished. Nothanks
1. No disrespect to the OP, but the thread le assumes much more than even the little said in the Woj tweet.
2. Comparing him to Ayres is just stupid. Ayres is the 6th big in the regular season and probably won't even suit up in the playoffs. Stoudemire isn't signing anywhere for a role that limited. In Dallas he immediately becomes the third big and he'd probably start with the Clippers until Griffin returns. The rest of the season is an audition for Stoudemire's next contract. He'll go somewhere that has a prominent role waiting for him.
My first thoughts were similar to your suggestion, but I'm not sure if it's even possible. Stoudemire is on a max contract. These buyouts are typically for the remainder of his current salary minus the prorated portion of the league minimum. If that's the case, can Stoudemire accept an amount that makes his total salary for 2014-15 greater than the max? I've looked for an answer, but haven't found it yet.
TSpence where you at?
Spurs FO needs to make this happen, offer him a starting spot and bring either Splitter or Diaw off the bench.
Just imagine the Dirk-Amare FC. Seems like stupid as . On the other hand, the Clips seems to be a very good fit.
Tbh, I'd rather the Spurs gamble with someone like Sanders. He's younger and can actually make a difference defensively. Sure, he may fail another drug test, but Amare is a perpetual injury guy. So it evens out.
The Spurs are a pretty good fit, start Amare bring Splitter off the bench. It makes the Spurs bench that much stronger. If it doesn't happen than the FO must think he's done, the Spurs have what no NBA team can offer, being the defending NBA champs for now.
I assume that he'll backup Dirk. He's playing less than 30mpg.
