    Says he wants to play two more years and then slip into scouting and maybe coaching. I think that bodes well for the Spurs retaining him. No better team for players to get into the scouting, coaching game post-playing days.

    Robert Horry has turned into one of my favorite all time Spurs.

    Hes so smart, and hes so clutch, but he does the little things, he busts his ass, he hustles back on transition D.

    Id keep Robert Horry around as long as I could.

    IMO, he would be a FANTASTIC NBA head coach.

    Pop's protege and successor?

    He could take over for Will Smith also.

    That's great news. Put him on the Danny Ferry career track.

    Id put him on the coaches career track.

    He would be a fantastic FANTASTIC head coach in about 6 years IMO.

    I mainly meant how they'd pay him his last two years and then boot him upstairs. Whether it's coaching or scouting, there should be room for him here.

    Do we have Eearly-Bird rights?

    We have had him for two consecutive years. Anyone know?

    He wants this ring more than anything. I think the Lakers collapse was something that he needed mentally to move on and its really paying off this year.

    He has been doing stuff this year defensively that he hasn't had to in awhile. He has definitely stepped up to the plate.

    I think it's a player option for next year.

    Player option for next season.

    If he opts out, the Spurs do have early Bird rights.

    It would be a good year to overpay him then wink-wink him for the minimum the following season -- pretty much like his first two seasons.

    if he opts out he needs to be signed for the vet min
    whatever works better

    spurs also could wink a deal and pay him more as a scout

    Do you have that in writing?

    Sweet. So if Holt opens the wallet, then Horry is our man.

    Robert has a few personal goals to go after:

    NBA champ on 3 different teams,
    7+ total rings,
    moving up the ranks in career playoffs 3Gs,
    and in playoff games played.

    He's having fun with Spurs, he doesn't need the money, his health is holding up.

    Good news. The Spurs need to keep him around until he hangs it up. In the playoffs in the fourth quarters, there really isn't anyone else you'd want next to Duncan.

    Great news. Two more years, damn. Get Scola in this summer so Rob can start imparting his corporate knowledge.

    I guess we can all assume that Horry will be taking his player option to stay with the Spurs next season. I am really interested in what's going to happen to the CBA. Hopefully the lockout time will be very, very brief.

    I'm not sure about that. The Spurs might want to pay Horry more than that. Depending on the new salary cap and luxury tax thresholds the next couple of years, it might make sense to frontload Horry's total two-year compensation by signing him to an early Bird contract with a team option on the second year. The team wouldn't pick up the second year, but sign Horry for the minimum in year two. That way the Spurs could pay Horry, say, $5 million over the two years but take a cap hit of under $1 million for him that second year.

    Sure it's convoluted, but from what we saw with Ferry, I think there might be a wink-wink deal to pay Horry more next season. Call it a hunch.

    That's the way I think it'll go down too. No way Horry takes that player option if the Spurs want him around for another couple seasons.
