My guesses would be Bobcats or Nuggets.
Spurs can't afford to lose him ... unless some team just throws a ton of money at him.
Said he's talked to a team 3 times today and they are thinking about flying him in, but they did not name a team.
I wonder if it's just his agent trying to put some heat on the Spurs?

My guesses are Bulls and Cavs.
vbookie?
I can see the Bobcats making a run at him. But I don't think they'd throw money at him. The Cavs also make sense because of the Ferry connection, but I'm mistified as to why the Bulls would want him.
What's the max you would match to Devin?
(Are you going tonight, LJ?)
he's restricted and the spurs have his early bird rights so for a team to have a shot at landing him they basically have to offer him something that starts above the mid-level exception or perhaps offer him a long term deal at a lower price and hope the spurs don't match.
in the end, i think that should be enough to scare away any potential suitor. but hey, i guess a team could get desperate...
I really hate to give Devin anything more than the LLE, but I think they should match any offer up to 3 million per year.
I'd go up to about three or four million per year.
P.S.
King, yeah I'll be there.
I don't think the Spurs will offer him anything more than $2.5M per year.
devin is definitely worth more than that. honestly, he should get the standard 3 year, $10 mil role player contract that malik and bruce received in year's past.
if dbrown hadn't gone out with his injury this year, he would've been in the playoff rotation instead of billion barry and everyone here would be talking about giving him a long term deal and $15 to 18 mil guaranteed.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the longterm SF replacement for Bruce, so I'd hate to play hardball with him. Nothing lucrative, but between 3-4 per.
If it comes down to another team outbidding the Spurs at a number they could match, I'd be dissapointed. The Spurs aren't in a position where they have a lot of room to add talent on a yearly basis, so they have to keep the talent that is on the roster.
If Brown leaves, the MLE would suddenly have to be used to get a swingman.
exactly. a problem is created and the cost would be the same for a comparable replacement.
it would have to be something fairly outlandish for the spurs not to match. i can't really see a team offering him more than the mid-level, even if it was only for a year or two.
spurs should come with a solid offer and get the deal done, just like horry. right now it looks like the spurs have told brown and his agent to go out and see what his price is in the market.
thinking out loud...if denver can't find another 2, devin might be very attractive to them...taking a piece away from the spurs would be a bonus...
The Spurs don't have the money to get Antonio.
How would they sign Antonio? They'd have to give him the whole MLE and then they'd have no money left for Scola or any other free agents.
Do you know how it the whole salary cap works?
It's not a matter of paying the luxury tax. Because they are over the salary cap, they still have to have the exceptions to sign the players. The only exceptions that they have are the MLE and the LLE. That's all they can use to sign players.
yeah and the only way the spurs could land antonio would be in a sign and trade with the sonics and the spurs would have to dilute their talent by sending out rasho and....
...wait, get on the phone RC
I think Devin wants another ring so he knows where to go.
Barkley was only 6'4". But that was with a 50" waist.
I actually think Devin will be happy with that.
I think brown should settle for a 2 year deal with a player option
and if he finnally stays healthy then reward him next year
Don't back problems like Devin's never really go away?
How much money would a team be willing to throw at a player who's health is questionable? I don't think the Spurs would pay too much for a risk like that. Pop & Co. are too conservative for that methinks.
I'm sure the Spurs are on top of his condition. If he had not been sidetracked by that injury he would've supplanted Barry in the playoff rotation. Then 3 years and $12 to 15 mil would be what us virtual GMs would be giving him.
