I like Devin a lot but I want to keep Barry (and definitely Rasho) over him.
Devin should go to Utah. May he play and prosper!
Now that everyone has gotten a chance to get all the facts and think it over, do you think the Spurs should match the offer sheet on Devin Brown? The Jazz are offering him a one-year contract worth $2.5M with a team option for a second season.
We've also recently learned that Van Exel and Finley have one-year contracts (though the info on Finley isn't 100% verified). It's also been revealed that unless the Spurs are able to trade away Brent Barry and/or Rasho Nesterovic, re-signing Devin would push the Spurs above the luxury tax threshold.
Considering all that, and assuming Devin wants to remain in San Antonio, do you want the Spurs to match Utah's offer?
Question.

yep, lux tax impacts are pretty minimal if your only over by a little and I'm concerned at what will happen in a years time. We want to three-peat right. That won't happen when Barry is the only guaranteed swingman.
Assuming Devin wants to stay, yes.
I'm wondering if he really does though. I think it would be better for him to go to Utah unless Barry is out of the picture.
I think they should resign him unless they trade either Rasho and/or Barry. He is a good player, but not worth paying luxury tax.
I didn't know how to vote. Devin is worth the 2.5 million. There just isn't enough money and playing time to go around.
It's time for Holt Cat to pay up.
Noted. I added a fourth option.
resign, devin is great
I hope most of you guys realize that the Spurs intend to dump Radoslav for nothing, lose Mohammed in free agency and then start Oberto. Losing Brown over lux tax issues is the stuff of cheapskate owners trying to have their championship cake and enjoy some serious cash flow too.
At what point do Spurs fans stop sprouting erections when the Spurs are being cheap?
Thanks! I voted. = )
Could I request a fifth option?
"No, the Jazz need him. Giricek sucks!"
Then, I'll vote.
Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what the Spurs intend to do. Come on, quit letting your hate for Holt cloud your ability to think.
If they do get Devin then trade Brent/Rasho/Beno
Given the one year deals for Van Exel and Finley, I think it is a no-brainer to re-sign Devin. , the Spurs ate 2.5 million when the waived Mercer's ass mid-season. If Finley was locked in for multiple years, then I would be 50-50. But as it stands, and given the intent of dumping Rasho and not being willing to pay Nazr what he will likely be offered next summer, the odds are very, very good that the lux. tax is a short-term issue for the Spurs.
How about we trade Horry for 3!
After that post of yours, it is a move I cuold live with.
J/K!
I'l stop the hate if you will! = )
Devin would have been awesome but, that damn back injury!!
2.5 Mil + the lux tax, is Devin worth the 5 Mil I would say yes and keep him, I mean so far he's our best bet to become the new Bowen. I think he'd get playing time in his postion because look at the players he's with:
Manu around 28-30 MPG
Micheal Finley back up SF
Brent Barry getting the mintues at the PG/SG
Devin giving Manu or whoever else needs a break (SG/SF).
2nd String:
Barry
Devin
Finley
Oberto/Horry
Rasho
We can save Beno when the time comes either if we're playing small or Parker and Barry are struggling and I think potentially he's in the Mike Wilks spot.
Save NVE for Garbage/Grind-out/Playoffs
Devin is a good young balla (headband proves it)
I think he would get minutes in the Spurs system (only thing that kept him was his back)
He is worth the 5 Mil to invest for the future.
BTW, How is Devin doing with his back anyway?
Should they, yes will they, barring trade no. Even though I think Holt should eat the 5 mil.
BTW when does his deadline hit.
Friday morning is the deadline.
Barry is a better fit for our team than Devin so I wouldn't give up Barry for Devin. If we don't give up Barry but keep Devin then I think he'll be disappointed with the lack of minutes with all the swingmen.
Bottom line, we might just have to give Devin up for nothing because we're already too stacked and it wouldn't be fair to keep him.
I want to keep Devin, But I don't want to get rid of Barry to do so.
So i vote "match Devin's offer and trade Rasho" (sorry angel)
I think he's worth the 2.5 .. at least for a year or 2 to see how he develops..... not to mention that we arn't even gonna have NVE and Finfin past this season..... nbot to jinx us, but I think we'd have a better chanvce at a 3-peat if Devin was on the rooster in 2007.
(i see all with my magic 8-ball)
Let him go imo, at leasts the jazz doesnt pose a threat to us
How many 12th men get that kind of scratch?
I'm all for setting precedent, but c'mon. It's a nice sentiment, but I can't think any team would do so, especially when a guy like Sanders is available (I assume he is).
Tick-tock.
Melvin Sanders?especially when a guy like Sanders is available (I assume he is).
He signed in Spain a few weeks back.
Ah thanks, I was about to put in some parentheses asking if he was indeed still available.
Now I know.
I can imagine there are a few invites out there, I did say "like" Sanders after all.
Of course I'd prefer Devin, I just can't remember the last time someone signed for this role for this much. Something needs to change.
