We're not going to trade Finley.
The only "rookie contract" player the Spurs can hope to get is one that has fallen out of favor with his coach...like the almost-trade for JR Smith. Keep your eye on malcontent coaches and rookies in the doghouse....
We're not going to trade Finley.
The Diaw/Johnson deal was a sign-and-trade. Not really a good comparison.
Point of that comparison was that unlikely trades can and do occur.
Manny was/is trying to make it sound like Finleys 3 mil salary makes a trade impossible while Phat Tony, Tom F and I merely say its improbable but still very possible. Costs nothing to shop. Could adjust Fins at ue ala Barry and allow Chump and Fins to continue their relationship.
Chrissy Webber was an 18 million albatross and Billy King still let the 6ers get extorted. Jalen Rose, this list goes on and on. No way is Fins 3 mil a dealbreaker.
Joe J was given 75 million by the ATLs moronic ex owner group. After Diaws perfomance in the 2006 yes I would say ATL got hosed big time. Altho who those draft picks end up being will need to be seen. NBA is littered with picks outside the lottery who became All Stars and Champs. In other words it can only get better for Phxs end. ATL can still do something with Joe J at guard, but they way overpaid.
It's improbable and it's probable? My head hurts. Did you mistakenly contradict yourself, or were you just watering down your stance?
Atlanta had to overpay for Joe Johnson. No free agents want to go to the Hawks. But they weren't necessarily losers. JJ is averaging 28.3 points a game in ATL. Diaw wasn't going to do that in Atlanta. He probably won't ever do that in Phoenix. Hopefully for them he won't be the first option either at any point.
Yes, Findog is tradeable. He knows that. Teams that would want him couldn't give the Spurs what they would want for our last year's highest bench scorer. That makes a trade unlikely, not "very possible".
Tim Duncan for Larry Hughes and Scot Pollard.
Very extremely possible!
All the brother needs is a couple of slump-busters.
It works, believe me.
Josh Childress is overrated. I'd rather go for a Michael Finley-Mike Bibby trade. Bibby needs a change of scenery to get his game back.
I'm almost celebrating Finley's slump. I'd rather have him slump it up early in the season than in the playoffs. Then again, if he slumps too long maybe he'll end up having a season. Maybe he's just getting too old.
Okay, thinking positively, I think the Finley will be fine and he'll be a big contributor to the Spurs' fourth championship this season.
Its like Fabbs can't read. I spelled it out for him, and he still doesn't get it. He thinks I"m disputing things based on talent levels. There hasn't been an equal talent trade in the NBA in years, why would I dispute it on those grounds now? Everything is financially driven.
Fabbs, congrats. You're an idiot.
Was Finley bad during that GS game as well? Im too lazy to see the box
4/8 (2 makes were layups)
diaw is no good this season. and about finleys slump..get used to it.
Plenty of exercise with your weak backpedal?
Please! Finley isn't in a slump. He's in a career decline. Face it. If Finley had something left, don't you think the Mavs would've held onto him.
The Spurs inherited the Mavs garbage. It was a mistake from the very start.
Who would you rather have had Finley or Josh Howard. Think about it. The Spurs had a chance for both. The Mavs basically jettisoned Finleylast season (and continued to pay him) to make PT for Howard.
Spurs had a chance to draft Howard in the summer of 2003 and they were busy courting JKidd - the most dumbass move all.
So which team made out better?
He can´t go to the basket any more,the MF is too old now for that
I agree that Finley is in a career decline--the legs are going--as well as a slump.
Some of his shots are so far off line I wonder if he needs glasses. Sight can become a problem as you age and it is so gradual that you don't realize it.
The problem I have is that Pop is still giving him important minutes without corresponding production. Barry is more productive in almost every area this season so he should get more minutes before Finley.
Dude you can say his name....Michael Finley
see....
