Nick Van Exel

[Big Pimp_21]

Just read on Hoopshype that NVE has been talking to from SA and the Heat. That sounds promising, since I heard somewhere before that he wanted to be in Texas. He would be a great back up PG and I would love watching him own someone else. Not to mention getting to see him shoot free throws from the top of the key...that always makes me smile.

[ShoogarBear]

Not a big NVE fan to begin with, but if he came here he would shoot 63% from the line, guaranteed.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Well Hoopshype's reputation around here isn't the greatest, but if it's true I'm happy. He'll be a good reliable backup as Beno continues to develop.

[ace3g]

getting Oberto, and maybe sign Van Exel and Matt Barnes would be a good summer in anyones book;

even though I still wish something would happen with Gerald Wallace

[Kip Fanatic]

I'm all for it. He wouldn't hurt the Spurs, but would actually help them.

[SWC Bonfire]

Well, maybe he could teach everyone else to shoot from the jump ball circle.

FWIW, it was quoted from a Denver Post article.

Well, that helps a little I guess. I'm starting to fall prey to the impatience that has struck alot of people around here, waiting for all of the amnesty casualities to get picked up and otherwise hearing the same old rumors everyday.

SIGN A CONTRACT YOU BAS S!!!

[ChumpDumper]

Finley is holding alot of moves up right now; I figure there will be plenty of moves after he makes his decision.

[Marcus Bryant]

If NVE is the best available player who wants to play for the Spurs, sign him up.

Well the talk has been Texas all summer long. I believe that the Rockets, Mavs, and Spurs were all targeting him at some point. By picking up Anderson the Rockets effectively ended that courtship and managed to shoot themselves in the foot on that one. If a ring is important to NVE I can't see him picking the Mavs over the Spurs, unless the Mavs can throw some huge sum of money his way. Does anybody know what, if any, money the Mavs have to spend at the moment?

[Horry For 3!]

I wouldn't mind NVE playing for the Spurs.

[sa_butta]

I would love to see the Quick in a Spurs Uni. He would be a killer off the bench, especially during playoff time.
Horry + NVE=2 headed monster off bench.

Htown people think they got NVE

The Mavericks signed like 5 guys over the past two weeks.

Doug Christie, DeSagana Diop, Darrell Armstrong, Josh Powell, and Rawle Marshall.

So I'm pretty sure we have more money to throw around than they do at this point. However, most of it will probably be put towards obtaining a wing, hopefully either Finley or Devin Brown. If we do sign Nick, it will probably have to be for the veteran minimum, or maybe just slightly higher.

But yes, it's easily his best chance for a ring in Texas.

Mr. Van Exel, oppurtunity is holding on line 1.

It looks like it's between Miami and San Antonio for Van Exel

Tony Dutt, agent for free agent Nick Van Exel, said he has not heard from the Nuggets. San Antonio and Miami have interest in the guard.

but I can't image that the other Texas teams have given up on him. Or maybe they have. I just always heard that he wanted Texas, so it's weird that Miami is in the mix now. Don't they have enough players already.

[timvp]

Hmmm ... if it is between Devin + Van Exel or Finley, I'm going to be hoping for the first option.

People say this on the forum everyday, and I just want to say something. Hoopshype just collects the info from newspapers, blogs, etc and places it on their site on their rumor page with the links. So if something is not true that's there, it's not the fault of hoopshype.

If you want to talk about the reputation of a site that "isn't the greatest around here" -- that's HoopsWORLD. Hoopsworld is the one that has a staff of writers who write their own articles and they are usually wrong (though Emmett Shaw is an exception).

I just wanted to get that off my chest.

[ducks]

you have a chest?

after all those digitally enchanced photos of Finley in Miami jerseys and all the drama, maybe they are not sure Finley will sign w/ them.

[texasqb2]

why not both Finley and NVE?-Wow!

[exstatic]

Does no one else besides me remember NVE singing "Cancun, Cancun!" at the final team meeting after the Lakers were eliminated one year, and Shaq being furious to the point of getting him run out of LA? Why would NVE want to go to Miami? Shaq basicly denied him 3 rings.

[Trainwreck2100]

why not both Finley and NVE?-Wow!

cause that's a pipe dream.

[SequSpur]

NVE is gonna be a Spur and I frickin called it last year and most of you said I was high...

So as usual............

Blow me.
