The Spurs have his early bird's rights. Which means they can sign him for up to the league average salary ($5M) even though they don't have any cap room.
His contract expires this season can we afford to resign
him with Ginobilli and Parkers big contracts kicking in
I would like to keep him but I feel he may be too expensive
what to do?

if someone pays more then that they can have him
Others may offer more, but Devin is a special case -- he's already turned down more guaranteed money to remain a Spur. So many Spurs have signed for less to be here, I don't see how he'd be any different. I suppose it might depend alot on how much pt he wants at that point.
he'd be an idiot to turn down a rediculous offer some stupid team might offer
he said once in an interview that it would be really difficult for n e one to get him out of SA..
Again I'll ask everybody.
How much do you think Devin is going to be offerred this summer?
"he'd be an idiot to turn down a rediculous offer some stupid team might offer"
Pass up millions over the course of a contract elsewhere vs the San Antonio offer?
He's too young NOT to follow the money, esp if he gets a ring this June.
If he got a ring, then got an offer to go where he'd get serious money and the chance to play 30 MPG, he's gone.
And I wouldn't blame him.
But I don't think it's going to happen. He's made himself a solid bench player, but I don't think he's turning heads around the league.
I don't think teams will be beating a path to sign Devin Brown. As a Spurs fan, I certainly like him, but I don't think many GMs around the league have their eye on him. Without regards to the Spurs salary cap situation, I think Devin is worth Jaren Jackson kind of money.
Denver has a very glaring need at SG and never wanted Devin to leave in the first place. if anyone is going to get Brown, it's them.
His choice.
If Devin plays his cards right he can make a very, very comfortable living as a solid NBA player and go with the best offer he gets. Unless he goes by the "I make a lot of money, so I should spend a lot of money" financial plan.
Devin, like any other player, has his faults but he will have a successful NBA career.
The playoffs, of course, could change everything.
c.f., Speedy Claxton.
did not stephen jackson say he could only play for pop?
well great if he will only play for pop then load up the soft drinks because he wont cost anything, three years worht of Dr. Pepper and Brown is signed for life!
speedy came to mind also...but you can't blame him for going for the dough...it's what makes the world go around.
I think Devin will re-sign (since he's said at least twice that he will) and will be Bruce Bowen's replacement.
Devin already has two jerseys retired in San Antonio at his high school and college...I think he wants the trifecta...but I think he is going to want PT. I could actually see him taking a one year deal somewhere ala Jax if he got the opportunity to start...to prove his worth as a starter.
I think we'll lose Devin over PT before money.
If he has half a brain, stay right here.
Again I say a good contract is in Devin's future. It may not be with the Spurs but I think he needs to do what is best for him and his family.
I think Devin is exceptionally gifted athletically, and has a great family structure that allows him to accept coaching. It's funny how the Spurs have found players at the far ends of the Earth, and right here at home. The player that Devin most reminds me of is Malik Rose. He's strong as an ox, and has a nose for the ball. Barring injury, Devin should have a good run in the NBA. He's a coaches player.
RC is in charge of this. None of you are experts at this, so leave it to him.
You all need to pull out your pom poms and get ready to cheer. Its almost time for the playoffs.
