All we need now is for Angel_luv to bless this transaction with her unbridled optimism.
(Hey, it kept Rasho & Beno on the team.)
i remember that one...........

i saw Beno at best buy he was wearing a pastel colored polo with the collar up
Personally, I'd prefer to sign Devon. He just fits with us. However, signing Finley is a bonus for us because it keeps him away from the Suns where he would make up a lot for Johnson's departure. If he signs with the Heat he'll just be part of the non-chemistry that exist anywhere Antoine and Jason play. U dib't exoect to see Heat in the final either way.
Finally, we could also sign Finley and then Devon and package Rasho and someone else[Barry] for someone valuable.
The Spurs never actually get the best player on the market. At this point, Finley is the best player on the market. Those players like to use the Spurs and have them on a wild goose chase ... but at the end, they'll sign with the bigger market.
At this point I'll say that the Spurs have a 0% chance of landing this MF.
Brown + a 2nd round pick for Humphries, hands down!
You probably just jinxed them into signing him.At this point I'll say that the Spurs have a 0% chance of landing this MF.
This Michael Finley?
True, in all likelihood Finley is using the Spurs to leverage Miami into full MLE or a longer term contract.
This Michael Finley?
Exactly. Think about it ... the Heat right now have no reason to offer him the entire MLE over three or four years. But if he threatens Miami by "leaning towards" San Antonio, the Heat will do whatever it takes.
What the Heat want to do is pay Finley part of the MLE so they have enough room to get another free agent like Damon Jones.
I'd have to agree. The Spurs have a history of not landing such players. Brent Barry and Glenn Robinson are probably the closest the Spurs have come to landing a name free agent and it's not like GRob had a lot of interest in him last April.
Exactly.
Probably SA's best shot at getting MF is if the Heat hold their ground and MF gets insulted.
Pop sounded as Finley will most likely not sign with the Spurs.
If Finley is all about the money then why would Pop say he'd be surprised if Finley signed in Miami and that he thinks he's going to Phoenix???
I think all it is is Pop not ruining the real surprise for tomorrow.
Finley can start in Phoenix - he'd have to fight for minutes here.
Pop said that he thought Finley would go to Phoenix because he could start there and has connections (Nash/Bell). Pop said that he told him flat out he wouldn't be able to start here.
Maybe Finley is coming here and Pop is smoke screening, but that's what he said.
That would be freaking awesome.
Didn't bother reading all 5 pages, so excuse me if someone has already posted this info.
According to www.insidehoops.com/nba_rumors.shtm. -- "Michael Finley should make his decision on which team to join today, tomorrow or Wednesday. It still appears that Miami is the favorite, though one connected person InsideHoops.com knows swears that the Spurs will get him. But he's hearing it through the grapevine, so I'm not printing it as an official InsideHoops.com-sourced rumor. (If you've been reading this site for the last few years, you know that literally 100% of rumors sourced to InsideHoops.com on this page have been true.)
Weren't NVE and Finley really close?
Maybe closer to him than Nash.
I would be very surprise if Finley ends up with the Spurs. Based on the Spurs history with FAs, I think the actual chances to get MF are slim to none.
wasnt NVE a FA? they just signed him. They got Oberto who was looking at other teams. Last year with Barry
MF isnt a superstar and thats where SA has had problems with people like Kidd, Webb etc..
with how Pop talked on Finley today - I would expect him to sign with the Spurs shortly. No one is expecting him to take less money and go to the Suns. Pop saying Miami would be a total shock is too strange
My guess is SA is still working out the details with Finley and Pop didnt want to give any sort of hint whatsoever. He sent people in a total different direction
You haven't looked at the recent acquisitions.
Yep, your are right
Like 10 minutes difference between Kori's posts and mine... plus I was on the phone
I am surprised at the NVE signing... I think this is one of the first big agents signings in a while. And no, I don't consider Barry a big agent signing last year.
If the Spurs land Finley (I don't know what the final status on that one), everyone in the media will jump into the Spurs' bandwagon if they haven't already done it.
