Ludden: Nuggets big man Elson may head to Spurs

[furry_spurry]

Money talks. If the Spurs would have offered Przybilla that fifth year, he'd be a Spur, IMO.

Przybilla for the entire MLE >>>>>>>>>> Elson for half

That is what I mean. They think if Przy does not come- that is OK- someone else will be accept what the Spurs offer and fill in fine.

The vast difference- Elson will come for 2 or 3 years.

Frankly

Who the fook is Pryzbilla?

I've seen many posters here mentoning his name.

[violentkitten]

Zo.

eh?

[rayray2k8]

Im at the point where having Jaron Collins is the better choice.
Oh god I cant believe im saying this but I miss Rasho already.
Somewhere right now, angel luv is smiling, along with Rasho himself. And probably Nazr too.

[timvp]

Nuggets will likely match it, they need him as security and our record with him starting was very good for the last couple of seasons. I thought it may have been too much but i am starting to think they would match that deal

Hope you're right.

[T Park]

I meant good move.

Elson?

No big deal.

Eh, I guess Im one of the few that just enjoys basketball, and whoever they get, root for, and have fun.

Its a sport, distraction, to real life.


Im not going to turn ot drinking over THIS.

Guess that makes me a horrible fan.

damn if we get elson, it's gonna be straight up crap. beno would make a better choice at starting center

and the mission is complete. elson was the only big the spurs could find who was amenable to the slight possibility of playing in sa for 2 guaranteed years.

[T Park]

so Violent doesn't like the Spurs offering him a contract, but is pissed if he DOESNT come here....

No.

And what about the "fan" obssesion ? You are always mentioning this

Plus - you wanted Penny Hardaway. Yup. Not the one from the past.

It's morning at Slovenian National Team Training Camp and teammates are trying to figure out why Rasho looks so happy while Beno looks so sad.

[violentkitten]

so Violent doesn't like the Spurs offering him a contract,

correct

but is pissed if he DOESNT come here....

no. i'm pissed we're even at this point

[Russ]

Javtokas will probably be better (and cheaper) than any of these other guys anyway.

[Kori Ellis]

Javtokas will probably be better (and cheaper) than any of these other guys anyway.

We'll see if he even signs.

right. spurs showing theyre willing to go after someone else helps keep his contract demands in check. it also lowers expectations after the spurs are shut out by nba bigs in free agency and sign him to be their starting center. win-lose, win-lose

[T Park]

you wanted Penny Hardaway.

For the veteran minimum?

Why the not.

If he pans out its a win win.

If he doesnt he rides the IR all year.

I was talking about Pryzbilla not Przybilla

[timvp]

The Nuggets have their own free agents. Andrews said his client, restricted free agent center Francisco Elson, is drawing interest from the San Antonio Spurs and the Suns have inquired about a sign-and-trade.

"I expect San Antonio will make an offer (the Nuggets would have seven days to match any signed offer sheet)," Andrews said. "But I don't know if it will be (today) or not."

Oh just get it over with. The only thing worse than signing Francisco Elson is to wait a couple days and then sign Francisco Elson.

[polandprzem]

For the veteran minimum?

Why the not.

If he pans out its a win win.

If he doesnt he rides the IR all year.

Let's sign Ralph Sampson, for minimum, why not?
He is big and he is a basketball player.

uh yeah....

[violentkitten]

would the spurs be willing to go this route to hold down javtokas' price? think about that. if he pans out, the spurs will have gotten a starting quality rebounding and shotblocking machine for like $2 mil a season. considering the spurs are desperate for a center and have their full mle of $5.3 mil it's not hard to see that a little posturing might be in order. it's not like javtokas is a young player he's 26 so why not make your grab at nba million$ asap?

[T Park]

I expect San Antonio will make an offe

So they havent

So were all going on heresay by an agent.

Hopefully it's anything other than actually signing Elson.

[MannyIsGod]

If he's getting an offer, why is his agent out talking to every reporter within earshot? He sounds like someone trying to drum up interest and gain leverage for a S&T more than anything else. Seriously, if he really expects an offer why is he talking to every reporter who will listen?

We established that on page one. Try and keep up.
