If he leaves it will be for Miami.
signing Robert Horry. Will Miami offer him the entire MLE? Robert might leave to be the only player to win a championship with 4 different teams, more money and a chance to be even more of a legend.
This worries me the most.
If he leaves it will be for Miami.
For what it's worth, over the past few days he has said that he doesn't plan on leaving the Spurs. He said it this morning on Regis and Kelly.
I'm not sure I agree that another championship hinges on Horry. I love Rob, and think he was HUGE for us in this series, but we have a great roster and a deep bench.
Having said that, he's pretty said he wants to stay in SA for another year or two, then retire. Yea us!
Forgot, he has the best chance of front office/coaching position with the spurs.I'm not sure I agree that another championship hinges on Horry. I love Rob, and think he was HUGE for us in this series, but we have a great roster and a deep bench.

assuming that is what he wants.Forgot, he has the best chance of front office/coaching position with the spurs.
Why?
When he came here, he only wanted to play here or in Houston (because of his daughter). I can't see him going to Miami.
When does FA officially start? The 16th?
Teams can re-sign their own players starting July 1st right?
He'll only go someplace that he can win a championship. He would prefer to stay in Texas, because his family lives here in Houston. He's less interested in the $ than another ring, and prefers not to play lots of minutes in the season.
He only considered Miami and SA last year, and Miami's championship hopes are dwindling as long as they are pinned on Shaq and DWade is the only real threat. They need a better PF and they'll need to replace the SF and SG not too far down the line, as it is an aging team.
He'll stay in SA.
But if our hopes are pinned solely on an aging back up pf who is inconsistent in his shooting (but still usually manages to come up with big time shots) then the Spurs are in trouble. Horry is fabulous, a great player, I love him, but he's not going to get any better, and probably won't be able to play in three years.
Teams can start talking to free agents (their own and others) on July 1, but no one can sign until the July moratorium period is up. This season the moratorium has been extended through July 22nd.
Yeap, and he said it confident...
He has indicated that he hopes to play one or two more years (depending on things like his shoulder), and then take a coaching or scouting position.
I liked your post up to this point.
1. He is aging but his shot is anything but inconsistent.
2. Nobody is talking about three years, I'm talking about next year.
My claim of inconsistency is based on his performances in Game 5. I know how crazy that sounds - but dude couldn't hit anything for the first three quarters. It happens. It happens to everyone. Clearly, he came up with his big shots in the fourth. And that made me happy. I'll take the inconsistency for the big shots as a trade anyday.
I concede your second point. My only counter to that is that he's not getting younger or better and I would prefer the Spurs find something more reliable than an aging three point hotshot. It makes me anxious to pin our championship hopes on that.
That being said, I agree wholeheartedly with wanting him resigned for next season. I am comfortable enough to believe he will be. And I assume Scola will be adequate to fill in beyond the season.
Horry will stay in San Antonio for all of the reasons listed above..I have complete confidence that the front office will not let him get away. He's great for the team, and WHEN he does retire as a Spur, I'm sure they will have a job for him here.
That Tim Duncan guy might have something to do with it too.
yea
Dirk? As in Dirk Nowitski?
Are you serious?
OMG, give me whatever you are smoking! You should be a ing stand up comedian! I don't think I've laughed so hard in weeks!
I double checked, but yeah this is Spurstalk.com not the SIforkids forum.
Robert Horry would make a difference as much as any scrub. Miami can have him.
How many rings do those two guys have between them? Even better, how many finals appearances?
ing Dildo.
he's trying to get a rise out of you. You'll see a lot of trolls do that here because it works great on the typical defensive spurs fan.
Best to just ignore him like the spurs ignore most of the teams they play. It's all about us.
I don't see Horry going to Miami... It seemed like he felt a bit underappreciated by Shaq and Kobe during his tenure there. Plus, he lives in Houston, so he'd be moving further away.
The Spurs would have to give him an insulting offer for him to relocate, IMO.
Does it really matter that much? Horry can get his usual 8 points and 6 rebounds somewhere else.
Please don't feed the Trolls....
