[SequSpur]

Have you ever noticed the preview button? hit that and read your before you nauseate some other topic.

Everyone called Finley being done back in April.

Re-signing him has to be one of the top 2-3 bonehead moves of the Tim Duncan era (trading Scola to Houston and the Nocioni birthdate up being the others).

finley has his ring already, now get rid of him...

lets trade his ass back to the mavs...

$5M for Michael Finley

That's not funny.

[TDMVPDPOY]

That's not funny.

dont forget his also earning another pay check from cuban....

[timvp]

Hopefully by the playoffs, the three players in suits are Finley, Bonner and Vaughn. That'd be a good sign that Pop is willing to cut the fat off of his steak.

uh 10mill no way he's opting out the second season..

[mVp]

NBA, where Finley getting two paychecks happens...

[timvp]

uh 10mill no way he's opting out the second season..

It's $2.5M per season.

Finley has earned more money in his career than Tim Duncan. He has earned more than David Robinson, Sean Elliott and George Gervin combined.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Finley haters.

Life's so damn generous to some people...

[HarlemHeat37]

terrible signing..I'd rather have signed a younger guy..

Finley is absolutely done at this point..he's still a solid set shooter..but he's arguably the worst passer in the NBA for a guard..a horrendous defender..he rarely makes a shot after he takes a dribble..he's done..

I'm expecting Mason to start, and I hope that he does..I watched a number of his games last year, and he's going to surprise some people..great work ethic and should get better playing in our system..

I don't mind Finley as much if he's only gonna play at certain times..but like others have said, the combination of Finley+Pop is the part that scares me the most..

It's $2.5M per season.

ok that makes me feel better.. slightly, but not as good if we offered that money to barry or about anyone else

Actually, I called him done back in January...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Surely Fin's Mavs contract ended last season?

[texwheel]

Thought he showed up at camp in great shape. For a shooter, 26.8% thru 5games, worst on the team, isn't too encouraging.

[benefactor]

I hate you timvp.

Unnecessary bump...its not like we have to be reminded. We get that every time he suits up.

That is the single worst fact in the history of the universe.

[SenorSpur]

That is the single worst fact in the history of the universe.

If anything, when comparing his exhoribant earnings to his career contributions, that makes him all the more overpriced.

[mrspurs]

wow threads last this long?

[SenorSpur]

I wonder if Pop would like a "do-over" on this one. Of all the decisions that have brought the state of this roster to where it is, resigning this guy and Bonner have proved to be as detrimental as any.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What, like us wastrels who have the luxury to sit around and chat about basketball whenever we like?

Unnecessary bump...its not like we have to be reminded. We get that every time he suits up.

...except it's his (and Kori's) forum, so what's necessary is not defined by you but by them, and let's face it, they don't force much upon us!

[Matchman]

i thought yall dont count no performances in November and Finley is damn clutch last playoffs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The sad thing is I'm sure Pop would sign him for the same amount all over again. Pop just loves Finley. My dream in life is for Finley to be cut out of the rotation completely, but as long as Pop is the coach it just isn't gonna happen. No matter how poorly Finley shoots Pop is gonna say "Just keep shooting" and Finley will.

And that'll be our season.
