Again, how do you Butler a 3 year 10+ million deal without lowerring Elson's deal so much so Denver easily matches.
Well I would think the Spurs would want Butler more than Elson and would offer him more. But it looks like they might have just split it. Maybe they offered them each 3years/7.5M.

The Spurs are pretty ing cheap.
That said, this NYT article has me feeling better.
3 years/10M to Butler and 3years/6M to Elson. That's around what I figured they'd offer.
But if they give Butler a high deal and Elson a low deal and Knicks match and then Denver matches, then the Spurs are really SOL.
But if they give them both low deals and they match both, it's better!
Like LJ asked before, HOW THE ARE THEY CHEAP WIN THEY'VE USED ALL THE MONEY THEY CAN?
Well I didn't think of Elson as a super high priority. IMO, The priority should be getting Butler. Then if they lose Elson, oh well.. there's a lot of 5 and 5 bigmen available.
Denver is less likely to match is the deal is higher.
Well Butler signed. He obviously doesn't want to be in NY, so we'll see what happens.
That's so weak. Spurs should ahve lived dangerously and just offered him the entire MLE...what is there to ing lose? We either get our center, or we dont, and can use that money elsewhere on the other thats available.
That would have been too smart, you see?
Either Denver wants Elson or not. They're not going to balk at half a million if they want him.
Butler - you have to put some poison in the offer. $10M is chunkier than $7.5M. Harder to swallow.
Knowing the Spurs, they probably didn't want to make it seem like they were indicating which one would be their starter, thinking they'd get both.
Or the full MLE. Indicate who you want. Send him the proper money. The Spurs manage to low-ball two players at the same time.
Three years, seven million? Give me a ing break... that's chump change for NY.
So are the knicks.
Beat me to it.
Same ol' Buddy Holly, couldn't get his head any farther up the ass of the Spurs front office if he tried.
I predict the Knicks don't match. I don't think Isiah wants to look like a spendthrift yet again, and he has no justification to keep Butler when (as people have pointed out) he just went out and sought James last year and doesn't like Butler all that much.
This is what I'm hoping for. I don't care whether Elson comes or not.
lmmfao
$7 mil? seven million dollars?
bully for the spurs on the off chance they dont match, but damn, 3 yrs $7 mil?
we are doomed
Supergirl- we all hope you're right.
The problem is Isiah's a prideful guy. Jackie is his big find. One of the things he takes pride in is finding and drafting good young talent. And he doesn't want to be seen as a loser, because in his mind he's not. He doesn't intend on losing any battle this year (just games).
In reality, to NY that's $20M, since they are paying dollar for dollar luxury tax.Butler - you have to put some poison in the offer. $10M is chunkier than $7.5M. Harder to swallow.
If 7 million is chump change, 10 isn't?
I bet Javtokas' agent is just talking about Greece to save face. I bet Javtokas signs in Greece only after it's clear the Spurs won't sign him.
BTW, I think Javtokas (unlike Oberto and Scola) would be a better NBA player than a Euro player -- his game suits the NBA more.
