Report: Elson = 2 years and $6 million

[Bruno]

I thought you only wanted a Forward

Yes, I want more a starting PF than a starting C.
If you look more closely, Bonner and Horry are PF.
We don't have a bigmam who is good to start with Duncan (either a PF with Duncan starting at C or a C with Duncan starting at PF).

I think the Butler/Elson/Oberto threesome is good enough to find a starter next to Duncan. It'd probably start off as Elson until Butler is ready to take over at around the All-Star break.

But with NY probably matching, Spurs really need another body in there. Javtokas, though he has good potential, might not be enough.

[timvp]

I think you are crazy if you think both Butler and Elson will both be on the Spurs next year.

Did you see where I said NY is probably matching. I'm on record as saying there's a 15% chance Butler becomes a Spur.

With the latest articles, I think that's down to 5%.

[polandprzem]

Yes I know that Bruno.

My concern is that many posters here are sitting at the forum and not going to sleep....

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Nuggets most likely wont match, thats all ive heard

[spurster]

Yeah it's weird that it's worded like that. They should at least try to sell Butler as a young project with potential. And maybe sell Elson as a nice guy or something. To say that Elson has bad hands, etc but is cheap is a weird way to word an article.

The Spurs don't want the Nuggets to match, so he won't be any good for another week.

[strangeweather]

Yeah, I know you said they probably will match. However the likelyhood that neither team matches is less that 1% in my opinion.

Did you read the Elson articles? Karl all but said he's our problem now.

The chance that we get both = the chance we get Butler.
