This guy is getting on my nerves. em. Sign Brown.
Local talk show says he's having a hard time deciding between the three and will take another day to decide.

UHHH, that means Cuban will increase the cost of the BeltBuster over the next 24 hrs to try and gain the COIN to get MF out of the West....
Would you like FRIES with that?
I'm thinking he discussed it with his agent and they decided it was a bad news day to announce the decision.
He's wants a day where he can be the only headline. I can see a player acting like this if he's michael jordan but not spare ass michael finley.
F-this dill hole!
Devin, can you find it in your heart to forgive us?
Ding.
An unsure man is a dead man.
Regardless, It makes no difference for us in June 2006!
why would a local Suns talk show know?
regardless...one day...big ing deal
I have heard that the decision will likely come tonight. So we'll see.
Imagine if we get Finley, along with Van Exel.
That's like having 2 very good starting Lineups on the team.
Finley is deciding in warp speed compared to Malone. Malone took months. Finley is taking days.
Relax.
Haha, it better be. I'm obsessive compulsive because of him. I'm checking this forum every 2 minutes! Come'on now. Make a decision!
Finley will decide by the end of the week

I'm a big Finley fan but even this is getting on my nerves.
I have a hard time believing he hasn't made up his mind yet. I just can't wrap my mind around that one.
I'm starting to think he's going to retire. That would be a big secret. Make up your mind already.
This could be causing the delay. NVE signs... Finley delays decision.
In one ear he has Nash whispering.. In the other it's Nicky.

Malone........I still get a smile on my face when I think that this moron could have but didn't get his elusive ring this year.
As for Finley- I really do want him but if it's not to be, it's not to be. Assuming his back is ok, Devin is more athletic, a better defender and knows our system so bringing him back is by no means a concilation prize.
Dude take a deep breath; the Spurs are already World Champs. With Finley, or without, everyone else is simply racing for second place.
why would subject dude retire now w/o the bling? Phoenix, Miami, SA and $1-5M, lets see ... daaaaa! Like pop says "don't be a homer"
I was joking about the retirement angle.

It seems like a no-brainer. Michael Finley is sure to sign with the Heat, right? After all, Miami can offer him more money than Phoenix or San Antonio -- as well as a chance to play with Shaq for an NBA le.
Why is Finley hesitating?
"I haven't decided yet," the free-agent shooting guard said Tuesday as he left the West Loop Athletic Club in Chicago, where he was working out with his personal trainer. "I should know by the end of the week."
It remains a good bet when all is said and done Finley, perhaps the top free agent left on the market, will sign with the Heat. After all, Miami has its full mid-level exception available -- $5 million next season -- while San Antonio can offer only $2.5 million and Phoenix the veteran's minimum of $1.1 million. Although an offset clause in the league's waiver rules would require Finley to give back around half of any new deal to his old Mavericks team, that's still a million good reasons to bypass the Spurs and two million to spurn the Suns.
But if the 32-year-old veteran has decided on plying his trade in South Beach next season he apparently hasn't told newly-acquired Heat forward Antoine Walker.
Finley and Walker have been working out almost daily at the West Loop club, formerly known as Hoops The Gym. On Tuesday, Finley emerged from the facility around 1:30 p.m. as Walker and several other NBA players were arriving for afternoon pickup games. Finley, ice bags taped to his knees, stopped to chat briefly with Bucks guard Bobby Simmons, then climbed into his black Land Rover.
Walker showed up just as Finley was pulling out of the driveway. "What'd Mike say?" Walker asked, seemingly as in the dark as everybody else. Told that Finley hadn't yet decided, Walker just shrugged.
If Finley were locked into the Heat, wouldn't he have given some indication by now to his fellow Chicagoan and potential teammate? Or was Walker merely acting as if he didn't know?
Either way, the fact it's taking Finley so long to decide can't be bad news for Suns GM Bryan Colangelo. Phoenix would love to add Finley to its backcourt rotation, especially after losing Joe Johnson. While the Suns can't offer as much money, they can offer Finley a chance to play for a championship and be reunited with his buddy Steve Nash. They also have the full $5 million mid-level exception to offer Finley in the summer of 2006.
"I think he's going to continue to ponder this and maybe decide later in the week," Colangelo said Tuesday. "He's not ready to make a decision yet."
The Spurs also remain in the hunt for Finley's services. San Antonio reportedly had offered Finley the remaining $2.5 million from its mid-level exception for next season. But Finley might be leery of joining an already-crowded Spurs perimeter, a situation that figures to be worsened with Monday's addition of Nick Van Exel.
That's why everybody around the league seems to think Finley will wind up in Miami. The Heat might have a bit of a crowd in the perimeter as well, especially with Walker and James Posey now there logging minutes at small forward, but there are many other intangibles to attract him. He has a relationship with coach Stan Van Gundy dating back to their Wisconsin days. He shares the same agent, Henry Thomas, as Heat superstar Dwyane Wade. He also knows the Heat are serious about him, given last week's personal visit from Pat Riley, who traveled to Chicago along with Van Gundy to pitch Finley on the idea of joining Miami's redesigned juggernaut. If that's not enough, the Heat even hung banners with Finley pictured in a Heat uniform outside American Airlines Arena.
