Vaughn brings everything that a good backup needs. Toughness, floor leadership, and experience. Yeah, he's no sharp shooter, but I'm pretty sure Pop would rather have a defensive backup then an offensive one.

If it's possible, Vaughn's production actually went down in the playoffs...he's a dead-end, a career best 5/2, a 2/1.4 on a good day now....
No, but Angel Cabrera is![]()
If Finley leaves and the Spurs don't replace him with another swing player that means Barry and Manu for the swing position. That's if they don't move Barry.
I'd still want to get someone taller than 6'5" first.
Man, if only.
Vaughn did EXACTLY what he was signed to do. He was a third string point who stepped up and gave us a serviceable back-up once it became obvious that Beno still had not regained his cajones.
I'm all for going with a young unproven guy as a back-up next year - but does anybody really want to do that without a player like Vaughn as third string for insurance?
On Finley, I think he wants more years than he does money. I could see him signing a multi-year deal with another contender for about the same salary that he is making here before I could see him signing a 1 year deal for more money with a non-playoff team.
I got two words for you, James White
Sorry for the late reply.
It does say that. I find it kind of weird, either in English, Spanish or Serbian.Something must be lost in translation.
LOL! I found it a bit odd too! The article made it sound like Pop was yelling to all the Spurs players "i love you...I love you...I love you...!"
Just trying to picture that!!!
I like the Gelabale - Mahimi trade! I consider Gelabale >> Mahimi and I'm afraid that Ian will be a bust! Mike is playing for the French national team and had decent games this year for the Sonics when the coach let him play.
He has good athleticism, can make nice dunks and is a decent defender.
When is the deadline for Finley to pick up his player option?
I agree. Bring in Scola and play White a little more and get Nacioni and we are set.
exactly. my point.
LOOK AT JAMES WHITE FACE!![]()
That's a of a booger he's got.![]()
just to clear something up, I was under the understanding that the Mavs had an agreement to pay Finley $5 Mil a year until the full contract was paid off.

No more......... not selected for the World championship...
In France it's a big surprise. The coach, C.Bergeaud, made others choices...it's a big upset for Gelabale who was a part of the French starting five....J.Petro and M.Pietrus are also ejected from the list....

I don't get why Finley would be looking for 'one more multi-year deal.' Isn't Cuban still paying his huge Mavs contract? Essentially, he's ON his huge multi-year deal still, with the wrinkle that he's playing on a championship team and getting paid by someone else.
If I were him, I'd be happy with my current situation and stick around for another ring or two. But that's just l'il ol' me.
Why do you like Gelabale? He has the work ethic of Beno. When Seattle put him in the starting lineup at one point this year he started delivering 2 point, 2 rebound games in like 25 minutes of play.
You think that's productive? He's athletic as but he's also unmotivated as . No thanks.
Yeah, Gelebale looks bust-ish.
Q. At this point in time with Greedley i mean Finley having a player option, what incentive is there from the players point of view to do an S&T? When they can simply S with any team, right?
Nor is Fabs. If he's gonna get all pissy over a relatively small amount of money, or some other team is stupid enough to give him 5+ mil, hasta la vista baby. Yes he now knows the system well and yes hit tipped rebounds and rotations are good. Other then that he stands under the hoop and scores 1 foot layup passes from Timmy. Well see how you do without Duncan and GNob and the Spurs. Unless this is another stinker year for large 3s and 4s, gotta be someone who can easily do what Fabs did and wants to come to the Spurs.
@#$%^ it would be nice to hear some of these millionares say "i want to be on the Spurs, winning is what its all about."
I don't think Fabbro will opt out, but do think he's more indispensible at this point than Finley.
