NBA: Robinson hopes to stay a Spur
Sept. 3, 2005
By Justin Breen / Post-Tribune staff writer
Glenn Robinson may still be in the San Antonio Spurs’ plans.
The Roosevelt and Purdue star’s agent, Charles Tucker, said the small forward is hoping to sign with the Spurs, if he can cut a deal with the team.
“I want him to go with the Spurs if that works for him because he was successful there,” Tucker said Friday. “If that doesn’t work, we have to go where he can play at.”
The defending-champion Spurs recently signed guards Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel, which might push Robinson out of the equation.
“Michael can play both positions (shooting guard and small forward). I don’t know what that means as it relates to Glenn,” Tucker said. “It might not mean anything. We haven’t heard anything as of yet.”
Robinson averaged 10 points a game for San Antonio after joining the Spurs on April 4 as a free agent. For his career, Robinson has averaged 20.7 points per game.
Tucker said there are 10 or so other unnamed NBA teams that are still working on formulating their rosters. If the Spurs don’t sign Robinson, who’s a free agent after finishing an 11-year deal — which included a one-year extension, Tucker said — those other teams are possibilities.
Tucker said he believes Robinson has three to four good years left. He added that Robinson is dealing better with the death of his mother, Christine Bridgeman, which occurred during last season.
“He’s still working through his mom’s situation,” Tucker said. “I think it’s got a little better. I think he’ll go ahead and try to focus a little on what he’s got to do now.”

I thought Robinson wanted to finish his career with the Bucks. Was that someone else?
Ha! I was right!

I say we offer him the contract we gave finley, if he doesnt bite it then show him the door
I think our roster is prettty much full. For that reason, I don't see the Spurs asking Big Doggie back.
i would offer him the veteran minimum for one year. So then we trade Barry for Pietrus and we still have a great veteran leader in Robinson.
And Pietrus would cover Brown spot. Then we with the LLE we could sign Barnes for a multi-years contract.
I hope the Spurs will retain him. I liked what I saw from him last season and if he's ready to accept a role of limited minutes behind Finley and Barry then I'm all for it. The Spurs will never offer him the same amount they offered Finley; firstly they don't want to because the tax cap, and secondly; why offer a player for a limited role that much money?
And third they don't have that money, lol.
Give him the vet min or LLE for a year. Theres no minutes to speak of for him though but he could be deadly in a contract year
Plus him, Barry and Finley all fighting for court time is just a scary proposition. Thats a great role player and 2 former all stars duking it out for minutes on you bench. If you can do that you should.
Actually i would prefer to sign Kapono to a multi-years deal with the MLE than Matt Barnes.
If he wants to join for the minimum knowing how little he would play, who are we to say no?
I don't even know that there's going to be a roster spot for him. If he really wants to re-sign with the Spurs, he better think carefully about what he's getting into.
barry could be traded then big dog would be nice to have
I would guess at this late point in the off-season, Glenn's just looking to get into any role anywhere from some $$$, a job, pretty much like where he was when the Spurs signed him last spring.
I wonder if he's been keeping himself in shape, a good indicator of his desire to play, and which twice as hard at his age vs. 10 years ago?
I could see bringing Glenn back. It wouldn't be a bad move at all. With NVE on board, Barry's services will not be needed at the point and he could be traded for a young project or draft picks (Spurs could use some youth). The bench would feature Finley at off-guard and Robinson at SF. Not too bad.
There are worse things than Glenn Robinson for the vet min.
big dog has proved he can play d
A little surprising that nobody has made any kind of offer to Robinson, at least no publicity about one or even about interest in him.
Add a former #1 draft choice 13/14th man?
It's a hard life.
Spurs have 13 players. If they sign a guy, it will be another project player who will sit with Sean Marks in his street clothes. You think the Spurs have trouble finding minutes with the roster they have, and now you want to add Glenn to that! They need an athletic eager young guy whom they will try to mold.
I also like how simply everyone proposes these trades for Barry-- as if the Spurs haven't tried. It took 2 seasons to trade Malik and that took a stupid Thomas plus 2 first round picks.
Can the spurs make a sing and trade with Other team?
Barry x Robinson and a trade exemption?
Didn't they just sign Sean Marks? Is that a waste of 1 million dollars or what? Marks is a nice guy, but a project that hasn't panned out.
I'd rather that money have gone to GRob who can legitimately play in this league.
Once again, the league pays half of that, and two years of uncomplaining practice squad duty and towel waving is what we've gotten from him. He's no project -- what you see is what you get.Didn't they just sign Sean Marks? Is that a waste of 1 million dollars or what? Marks is a nice guy, but a project that hasn't panned out.
If you can get GRob to agree to the same for the same money, sign him up too.
I just can't see Robinson being happy sitting in street clothes behind the bench.
