I hope he goes where he can play
I don't have a link (and I'm not even sure if it deserves a thread), but I wanted to let you all know that Ron Boone just reported on a local station (KFAN) that Devin Brown is visiting Utah today to talk to Jazz management about maybe joining the team. That's all he reported. I'll try to find a link later today, but it could be a possibility since Devin is originally from Salt Lake City.

Thanks for posting, David.
I wonder where else Devin will visit. I'm guessing Denver -- maybe Seattle.
yeah, I'd say Denver.... hadn't thought about him visiting Seattle tho...
If he does go to another team (crossing fingers that he won't) I'd hope it be to a quality team that will give him some good minutes.
Unforunately it's the not-so quality teams that can give him good minutes.I'd hope it be to a quality team that will give him some good minutes.
Good luck to him, whatever happens.
well i'm also thinking quality in terms of management and coaching.. and the teams overall at ude....
but your right.
I just try to hope the best for him. maybe it's because he's a hometown guy.. but i get all warm and fuzzy over him......
Well that's true. The Jazz organization is run pretty well, so it might be a good fit for him. Also, He was born in Salt Lake so maybe they'll embrace him.
Devin Brown can go. I am sure we could find someone to replace him. He is just doing this to put pressure on San Antonio.
No, he's doing it to find a job. The Spurs haven't made him an offer.He is just doing this to put pressure on San Antonio.
Kevin, I think you should just stop your posting now. All of the posts I have read by you were ing dumb. Maybe that is good you only have 19 posts...
Not right this time, Kori.

The Spurs have tendered Brown a qualifying offer, around $900,000, in order to retain their right of first refusal on any offer sheet he signs.
Is a qualifying offer a contract offer? I thought it was only to retain the right to match. I didn't think it was an offer that he could accept as a contract. I don't know much about Q.O.'s.
... Never mind .. LJ explained Q.O. me.

It's going to suck when Devin gets a three-year, $8M offer and the Spurs let him walk.
and as big a SPURS HOMER as I am.... if i was DB I wouldn't sign for 900K either way.

god!
if you say stuff like that it'll come true! you jinxer!
I think Devin is gone no matter what. So I don't know if a jinx will hurt the situation. It just doesn't seem that the Spurs have much interest in keeping him. I wonder who they plan on getting as a backup swingman. I hope not Finley. I want someone younger.
Would you want Devin if it meant no long SF? Spurs aren't going over $61.7.
I think Devin is another victim of the Spurs luxury tax phobia.
If I were a betting man, I'd still have my money on Latrell Sprewell.
What makes you think they don't want to keep him, his size or back? I think they want to see what other teams will offer him. I think they want to keep him, he's the closest thing to Bruce than anyone else.
Luxury tax.
Getting an offer from Utah would be nice for two reasons.
1) It's a good situation for him and the fans will absolutely love him.
2) They won't overpay for him, so there is a slight chance the Spurs could match.
3) It's where he was born and still has family, so he'd still be the hometown kid done good.
4) We wouldn't ever have to worry about getting beaten by the "one that got away"
