I've seen that, but I've never seen it done. The Mavs have talked about it but nothing else I've seen.
I haven't kept up with salary cap rules etc.... Is it possible Elson was offered the LLE and Butler was offered part of the MLE? In other words, can you use both in the same season? If that were the case, Javotkas could be in option if he has not inked a deal in Greece.

And when the original team "agrees" is it rescinding it's QO?
I suppose it would be allowing for a sign-and-trade, but in this case Butler will become BYC and it would get so complicated it would be difficult to work out in a week's time.
If the trade angle was practical, I'm sure it has already been explored.
The funny thing about this whole offseason is that timvp is all over Bonners nuts yet hates Elson, when Elson is probably the better player.
If Bonner went to Wisconsin you'd be molesting him via the internets.The funny thing about this whole offseason is that timvp is all over Bonners nuts yet hates Elson, when Elson is probably the better player.
Don't front.
Elson signed the offer sheet, but I haven't found yet how much it is.
Elson is serviceable (as long as he is the backup), especially knowing Pop's ability to get more out of players than they've shown before. But I don't think he is a starter.
If we land Butler and Elson, I guess we could have done worse. Butler and Javtokas would have been better though, methinks.
Not if he wasnt any good. There have been plenty of Wisconsin athletes that have sucked at the pro level. I have no problem admiting that.
Fact is, Bonner sucks ass compared to Elson. So why you like Bonner and dont like Elson doesnt make sense to me.
Get back to me in six months and let me know what you think.
Thanks.
elson would be ok as the 4th or 5th bigman, a guy athletic enough to make a few plays and piss off opposing fans who cant believe their team is getting beat by a piece of like him
Interesting- people hated Rasho and Nazr - and many people have called Oberto a bust- but now they are so sure that these same Spurs can bring out the best in these scrubs.
No, the Nuggets won't match.
Who wants a freaking center named 'Francisco'. At least 'Rasho' sounds like something you don't want on you.
Francisco sounds like a hair dresser or a gay dancer.

whoa, Frankie is getting paid!Karl also sounded as if he’ll miss Elson, whose offer sheet is believed to be for about $9 million for three years.
elson got 3 yrs $9mil? hahahahahahhhaa
From above link.Karl also sounded as if he’ll miss Elson, whose offer sheet is believed to be for about $9 million for three years.
Karl said Elson will be a "person that will have to be replaced, and it will be a difficult replacement." He said the offer sheet is "a dangerous number for us to match."
Warkentien, running basketball operations on an interim basis, would not speculate whether the Nuggets will match. Andrews, who also represents Elson, hopes they don’t.
"He would like to go to San Antonio," Andrews said.
We got Elson. whoopee.
I just reread my post and I'd like to clarify that, for the record, I wouldn't want a hair dresser or a gay dancer on me either.
ouch
so elson got a 3 yr offer sheet starting at about $2.8 mil per and butler got a 3 yr offer sheet starting at $2.2 mil per.
How do you give Elson more money when you know Butler is the one who needs more money to scare away the match? The Spurs wind up overbidding for Elson?!
Ok, I've been defending the front office all day with you guys. . .but that move was freaking BRILLIANT!!!!
u can have him at that price. I dont think the Nuggets will match BUT they very well could if Camby is traded in the next few days
So- the Spurs made it their focus to offer enough to Elson to keep him from getting matched- thereby offering Butler the leftovers which the Knicks wiill probably match. Welcome your new starting center-- Fransicso Elson. And let us not forget- that 3/$9M is what Scola was apparently willing to come for.
What the ? 9 million???
So turns out the Spurs aren't cheap, just dumb.
wow. has anyone local confirmed those nums?
Appears Elson is who they have chosen. The reports last night were actually correct- no matter how hard people didn't want to believe it. Then they figured it wouldn't hurt to extend that offer sheet to Butler- if by some miracle the Knicks don't match, they get him for a good deal.
