Great! More tickets available for true Spurs fans unlike you.
BTW, love how you stated Finley being an "old dog" while you want Barry back. Barry's going to be 37 during next season while Finley is still 35. If you wanted to get younger, then technically the Spurs did just that by letting go of the 37 yr old and keeping the 35 yr old. I just love how fairweather Spur fans contradict themselves when it comes to the Finley/Barry subject along with the "getting older" theme.
Shooting guard Michael Finley has agreed to return for a fourth season in San Antonio and more, his agent Henry Thomas said Friday.
Specific details of the agreement were not immediately available, but Thomas said the Spurs have made a commitment to Finley “beyond just a year” and that the new contract will pay more than the veteran minimum of $1.3 million next season.
cmon, findawg, show the haters this season..lol guys, watch as you eat your words and fin scores like 20 a nite![]()
Sean Marks was our 13th man. Pop will start this geriatric trash.
More than a year and at more than the minimum? That makes a lot of sense.
I dont care about Finley or whoever on my roster. I'll say this for the record: MANU will kill next season !!! He knows his injured feet was the reason Fakers, i mean, Lakers won. He'll be back angry, and you dont wanna see the crazy Manu angry, because we re talking about the #1 compe or in the whole planet.
Also, Tony, i mean, MR. Longoria, will be back faster than ever, and with a killer mid jumper.
Also, Duncan, i mean, MR. BEST BIG MAN EVER, will be back like always, like a silent assassin, growing up in the playoffs.
I dont care a shiiittt who is gonna be on my roster, but take my word: our BIG 3 will step up big time. SPURS CHAMPS 2009 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think about it: only 2 factors won us last season: Manu's injured ankle, and David Stern LAL/BOS conspiracy. Do NOT panic !!!!!
I definitely will dread seeing Barry nail a 3 against us.
Been watching the Olympics and Scola's is so much more talented than Oberto.
We could have had these two players if our front office was any smarter.
Matter of fact we could have gotten Greene or Artest.
I love Michael Finley and i am so excited he signed back!
Finley for the around the vet minimum is pretty just fine with me. He's a good player that does get in his ocassional slumps (but so did Bones) and but can win a few games for you over the season, is a great teammate and an overall good guy.
Shoot me now. Actually, shoot me when Pop plays him over the young guys.
^^ If he'll be a starter you can shoot me also!![]()
Hold still now...I can't hit a moving target.
Bloody ! What a poor decision. For most of last season it was clear that Finley is done as anything more than an end-of-the-bench guy - I hope that's all he is for us next year.
I'd much rather have seen us keep Brent and let Mike go... love Mike's contribution, but it's time he retired.
The beginning of the end.
Keep your own bull to yourself thank you.
occasional slumps? It's the other way around. Occasional Bright Spots.
Barry FINALLY turned into the Barry we wanted and now he's gone.![]()
Your sig is my email address...has been since 1996. I think I picked it then for the same reason you got it in your sig![]()

I don't get the FO's thinking-sign Finley, the guy who contributed basically nothing other than streaky shooting (he did hit some clutch threes early in the playoffs) and get rid of Barry, the guy who actually helped the team in more ways than one in the playoffs? I don't get that one bit. I love Finley but he is done and should have retired.
Spurs made it official today
Spurs Re-Sign Michael Finley
SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have re-signed guard Michael Finley. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
The 6-7, 225-lb Finley was one of two Spurs (Fabricio Oberto was the other) to appear in all 82 games during the 2007-08 season. He averaged 10.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 26.9 minutes and shot .414 (315-761) from the field, .370 (132-357) from three-point land and .800 (64-80) from the line. Finley scored in double figures 47 times and had 20-or-more five times on the season. The University of Wisconsin product saw action in all 17 of San Antonio’s playoff games, averaging 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 23.0 minutes per game.
Finley was originally signed by the Spurs on 9/2/05. The two-time All-Star has also spent time with the Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks. Over his 13-year NBA career, he has appeared in 976 games and has averaged 16.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 32.8 minutes.

ESPN.com reported Aug. 15 that the sides had reached a verbal agreement on what NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein is a two-year deal worth $5 million with the second season at Finley's option.
Is there any hope for Finley to be more than just a shooter this time of his career? He could learn to play better defense perhaps.
This offseason just keeps getting better and better.
