Finley signed in the middle of August....
Way way way overpaid this little sonic the hedgehog.
That's some weird logic. Why do you think Kapono signed so fast? I'm sure his agent got the outrageous offer and had Kapono sign it in five seconds.
Saving a couple million here and there can be the difference in having no cap room and enough cap room to steal a promising free agent. But then again, Colangelo doesn't know how to work cap room seeing as he ate an albatross of a contract for a player getting DNP-CD's in the playoffs.
You might have a point.

I'm just saying that they could've gotten either one of them instead of Kapono.
Probably not. Many players refuse to play in Toronto.
Why not go after Walter Herrmann?
I would think that Nocioni would be good, because there's alot of international players in Toronto.
He isn't a FA.
Good reason.
How about Spurs go after him. Beno + rights to Scola.
Hes a RFA
and Herrmann >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kopono
Not a very wise move for signing this guy. He can shoot the three....but he had the pleasure of Shaq and D-Wade pulling most defenders to them.
In '05-'06 (Miami's Championship year), Kapono shot 44 % from the field, and 40% from three in 51 games. In '06-'07, with Shaq playing 40 games and D-Wade playing 51 games, Kapono shot nearly 50 % from the field, and over 50% from three-point range. He did that in 26 minutes over 67 games, which means he often shot well without Shaq or Wade drawing extra attention. As a GM, you see a sharpshooter who rose to the occasion when the "stars" were out, so I can see why they gave him that contract. However, he's an awful rebounder at the SF position, and, as has been mentioned, a poor defender. So if his three-point shot falls off a bit, he doesn't bring much else to he table. It's like Brent Barry without the playmaking ability.
It's not about the player mix, it's about the income tax rate.
No, he isn't.
Herrmann signed a two years contract with a team option on the second year last summer.
I don't think too that Herrmann is a good player.

Overpaid.
And what's wrong with Toronto? I'm sure it's a nice city... or am I thinking of Montreal? I'd play there. , pay me $100,000 and I'll make 60% of my wide-open 3s too.
Nocioni will likely get more than the MLE.
This sucks. It will likely mean that trying to grab Posey will be just that much harder now.
Posey ain't happening. It's vet minimum or S&Ts.
The Heat have all but announced that they won't be able to compete for Posey. He's pretty much there for the highest bidder.
The problem is the Spurs will go deep into the luxury tax if they sign him. Either sign and trade or the Spurs would have to do some type of salary dump ... like Barry to a team with cap room or a trade exception for a pick.
A tweener that STARTS and MOSTLY PLAYS power forward.
Caron Butler - SF
DeShawn Stevenson - SG
I think the Spurs are signaling indirectly the don't intend to deviate from the '08 plan. Maybe for a Nocioni but maybe not even for him.
I've been saying that.....
ya we signed him...
spurs need at least one free agent...we did win the championship but it doesnt mean our team needs improvement...
I was hearing rumors about Pietrus, Grant Hill, Luke Walton...and we end up with KAPONO? For 24 million??
The last 24 million dollar signing I remember the Raptors making?
Michael "Yogi" Stewart.
Are we putting all FA signing on the Spurs board now? Or just the ones that give ploto orgasms?
