one was the Heat board on RealGM the other was in the basketball forum of a major college sports site. both mentioned Fox SW specifically
http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=412312
Found it.
Can anyone confirm this?
I didnt believe it till someone mentioned seeing it on the college board I post on
I guess watch tonight at their 10pm report to see if they say it again
Do you have a link to the college board?
I can tell you all right now and very decisively......
I am not down with this MF on the Spurs.
Devin Brown better be signed.
Link to the college board?
@ the Mod telling that guy to watch the language...
Damn... Im going to loose so much vBookie if Fin signs with the Spurs and DB doesn't....
I will be poor if that happens![]()
The black guy on Maximum Sports mentioned nothing
It would be a bit humorous if Finley shunned conventional wisdom and did not go where he could (1) get the most $ from his new team, (2) play with Shaq, (3) get his $ faster from Cuban and (4) live in Miami.
Call me crazy but if Pop is saying that he thinks that Finley will sign elsewhere, esp. Phoenix (wtf?), that means he'll be a Spur.
I need for this "source" to be accurate, if just for the simple reason to shut the pie holes of all these Rock-ette fans who think that Stromile and DA were getting them to the Promised Land. God I hate listening to Houston sports radio!!
All Finley would have to do is beat out Barry for the backup swing role. While Pop couldn't promise him a starter's role, I wonder if Pop told him he would be first off the bench in SA. Manu-Bruce-Finley-Barry would be a great rotation for the wings.
Can't think of a better first off the bench player NOT named Ginobili. With NVE, Barry, Rob, Oberto and possbily MF, that bench goes beyond deep. That buries Rasho, Beno, Wilks and whomever else is a viable rotation player for any other team down at the scrub end of the bench.
You should listen to sports radio over here almost willing to sell their firstborn to keep the Spurs from signing anyone, much less the calibre of NVE or MF.
How about Finley + Big Dog?Yeah, slim to none chance, I suppose. But they could offer Robinson a 2 year deal for the LLE with an option after the 1st year. If he opted out next summer, the Spurs would hold his Early Bird rights and could sign him for up to the MLE level while preserving the MLE to use on someone else (ie Scola).
Big Dog is finding it tough to get a decent offer this summer. Maybe a full tour with the Spurs next season would be enough to restore his rep around the league.
Of course, if the Spurs take Finley then you'd have Miami with a full MLE to spend. But maybe Damon Jones and DerMarr Johnson would be more attractive to them.
SPARKY you must collect every stray dog and cat in the neighborhood.![]()
As we heard so many times, Fin's PPG has been declining for 5 years.
He just had a HORRIBLE playoffs:

and single-handedly lost the elimination Game6 vs PHX by no-showing and being the only man in 6-man rotation not in double figures:

... as the Mavs lost in OT.
His only talent is scoring, and that is way down, especially in these playoffs.
And when he's not scoring, can he play Spurs defense?
I say let MIA or PHX have him, and let's see how Devin's back hold up.
Finley was also the only one keeping Dallas in some of those games against Phoenix.
With KABB reporting finely and already having NVE signed we are turning into the the lakers.
not sure I like that sign two major old FA and then lose in finals
