Warriors get Devin Brown

[Quadzilla99]

He was late to practice? I don't see the big shock in letting go of a guy with a serious back problem. A back problem that caused his play to steadily deteriorate, caused him to lose muscle, and kept him almost entirely out of the playoffs.

I heard it was going to be Nazr / Barry for Fisher / Pietrus....

Guess thats not going to happen anymore.

We discussed that very trade last week.

The Spurs tried to work out a S & T with Nazr but the MLE was all any team was going to pay- so no need for Nazr to work out something with the Spurs to get him more money.

[ChumpDumper]

I'll take that as a no.

Take it as I'll get back to you in a year and see if Cuban can save me. Worked for you.

[Kori Ellis]

He was late to practice?

Yes, repeatedly.

[furry_spurry]

Spurs never even considered bringing Devin back. The stuff about his back changing his whole game is PR.

[Quadzilla99]

I have to say Tim I really don't understand your shock at that move.

[timvp]

The Spurs became the first team in NBA history to lose a restricted free agent because they didn't match an offersheet for one season. Looking back on it that was probably not the greatest basketball decision because our swingmen were destroyed on the boards.

All true.

Thanks for answering the question.

[ChumpDumper]

I love Mark Cuban.

Thank you for showing your true colors.

[Kori Ellis]

With all this being said, I still don't think Devin is the answer to much of anything.

He can get some minutes in on Dirk here and there, but he's far too short to do much of anything major.

What's with LJ man crush on Devin Brown?

, Jerry Sloan couldn't do with Devin, they just got rid of his expensive $500,000 contract.

Wait, was it the contract they got rid of or was it the player.

My only crush is on winning championships.

Give me players that help get that done. Devin would have helped.

[Mr. Body]

The issue about SA not matching a 1-year RFA offer sheet is less about the Spurs not matching than Utah only offering him this 1-year deal... and no one else offering him anything at all.

And then Utah getting rid of him after one year.

Too bad the Spurs didn't sign him, because surely they would have won the championship last year. They would have been so good, in fact, they would have won it TWICE.

[timvp]

I got owned but uh, uh, uh your a Mavs fan timvp!!

Heard it before.

What would have helped is Pop not going small. Horry showing up. Manu not fouling.

, the latter would have suffice.

And we'd be talking 4th le.

Yeah he's got a pretty big man crush on Devin, it's approaching John Madden-Brett Favre territory.

[Buddy Holly]

I think we have a lovers triangle.

LJ, Reggie Evans, and Devin Brown.

Going small with Devin at power forward is something that worked in the past.

Thanks for adding to the conversation. After all these years I can't believe you are still 16.

Impressive.

So was playing Nazr or Rasho.

We ing won 63 games playing a 7 foot center along side Tim.

You can't take a simple rib? But you sure love giving them out any chance you get.

Come on, don't act like a peach and bruise easily.

Remind me again how much the regular season means.

15?

Even more impressive.

[Buddy Holly]

Even more impressive.

Wanna make it 14?

[Buddy Holly]

So when did Devin ever play against a Mavs playoff team?

Exactly.

[picnroll]

I watched a few Jazz games this past year and thought Devin was nowhere near as effective as he had been before.
