    So if the Spurs would have won a championship last year, it'd be cool to trade Finley? But because they didn't, they have to keep him?

    It's not what I've said.
    If a player sign with a team to get a ring, it's easier to trade him if he doesn't fill in the teams plans if he had reach his goal.

    Yeah, so players are going to stop coming to the Spurs because Finely had $38M coming his away instead of $40M?
    It' has nothing to do with money.
    nba is a business but nba is a men-related business. Finley's signing with Spurs isn't money related at all, he has signed with Spurs because he wanted to get a ring.

    He's pretty much the worst player in the NBA right now.
    At least we could get an statue in exchange?

    I think many of you are giving up on Finley far too soon. Shooters go through slumps. Those of you wanting Finley to drive and draw fouls are going to be very very disappointed. I don't agree that Finley should be getting lots of minutes, but the posts about him being traded are ridiculous. I think there is a better chance of him pulling out of this slump than of it continuing the entire year. With shooters the main issue is confidence. When he strings together a small steak of good games, then I believe he can bust out of this slump.

    I'll admit that after the last game I thought he might be reaching a turning point but he looked flat out awful in tonights game. I think he forced the issue a lot early and almost went into panic mode because he missed his first few shots. But I'm no where near ready to give up on him yet. Maybe come February if he's still completely sucking a trade would be ok, but right now I don't understand how you get better by trading Finley.

    Oh, I do think Bruno's argument is off. Everyone on this team is tradeable outside of the big three, and I have a feeling that none of those are completely safe if the right deal came around.

    Finley + Bonner for SJax

    That would be great.

    Jaxon could kick some ass if the team would have some problems with the opponent.

    If Spurs get a great offer they can trade Finley but trading Finley just for trading Finley is stupid to me. It will hurt Spurs more than help them.
    Finley's salary is quite low, even if he sucks he isn't a big concern unlike Rasho/Barry who have bigger contracts.

    Michael's problem was compounded by Pop leaving him in too long when Manu and Brent were hitting their outside shots while Tim & paint were mostly shut down.

    I don't know. I don't see Finley getting much better. He might have 1 good game out of each 10, but out of those 10 he'll probably cost us 2 or 3. Why? because Pop keeps him in so long, it hurts us bigtime.

    Pop can do whatever he wants regular season, we might not even get 60 wins, or win the division. But come playoff time, if Finley sucks his first 5 mins, bench him for good!

    Pop does seem to have a different standard for Finley than his usual "whoever is playing best gets the minutes" policy. I don't understand it.

    When Finley is playing so bad why not give Williams a shot at SF--or stay with Barry? Barry may pass up a shot or two (often getting an assist that nobody counts), but he's a better fundamental player than Finley and who can argue that Finley's better at shooting right now?

    The money is so good for him, getting paid from two teams, he does not care about winning, I want to say any more but, he never did know how to win. It's amazing how Dallas got better when they sent him to the Spurs.
    how do you know he does not care about winning

    Only because Spurs fans expect a ton out of the fourth option on our team and freak over a one month long slump.

    I hope you don't really believe that.

    Finley was my favorite Mav but I was not upset to see him go. He was in decline yet would have had a hard time accepting a 6th man type roll for the Mavs since he'd been a starter there for so long. He's a good player for the little that the Spurs pay him though. A lot of the Spur's fans just expected to see the Finley from his prime and he's not that anymore. Think about it, there's a reason someone cuts a player that he still has to pay $17+million a year for 2-3 years. He was just not consistent enough and that's what the Spurs are getting. But at least it's not costing them much.

    Findawg for a salary match and 2nd Round pick.
