Damn, you're all over the announcement, way to go. I'll miss Devin but he deserves to play.
Salt Lake City – Utah Jazz President, Dennis Haslam, announced today that the San Antonio Spurs have not matched the Jazz’ offer sheet to Devin Brown. Per club policy terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Brown is currently in San Antonio doing charitable work in conjunction with the Salvation Army for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He will be in Utah on Wednesday, September 14 for a physical and press conference at 2:00 pm at the Zions Bank Basketball Center.
Brown spent last season with the San Antonio Spurs playing in 67 games averaging a career high 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.5 minutes per game.
The 6-5 guard out of Texas-San Antonio was not drafted out of college and has played in 135 career games averaging 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.5 minutes per game. He has spent time with the San Antonio Spurs and the Denver Nuggets.

good thing he didn't sign with nets oir he wouldnt have passed his physcial
GO SPURS GO!
So long Devin, wish you well.
Well, I lost some more Vbookie cash. Oh well, at least will get playing time.
Feeling like a lover departing due to objection by parents.
Yeah what a crappy offseason- resign Robert Horry, bring in Fabricio Oberto and lure Nick Van Exel and Michael Finley to San Antonio. This, after winning a championship.
But wait people........we did lose a an undersized, third string shooting guard that had nerve damage so bad in his back he couldn't walk for about a month last year. So you better knock that smile off your faces real quick. People in Miami, Phoenix and Detroit are grinning from ear to ear after this huge loss.
Damn, it sure sucks to be a Spurs fan these days..........
And to think of all those contributions Devin Brown made to our championship teams....where else can we find a 6'5" inch guy that can wave a towel?
Let's all go shoot ourselves now.
On a footnote, Devin Brown is a total class act that Walton wishes only the best for. Jerry Sloan will find use for him, no doubt.
well, life goes on in sports, even when fan favorites move on. I wish Devin a great career--except when he plays the Spurs.

Well, hats off to the Spurs front-office with all the exciting and great offseasons moves. Hope that the emotions caused by Devin's departures will be offset soon by the great plays of this new Spurs team.
A little birdy told me that Devin might just be a guest on today's Chris Duel Show on KTSA...
I hate to say it, but I agree totally with Dub.
The loss of Devin has been waaaay overhyped. I think we'll be fine without him. We were fine without him last year.
It's totally win-win. The Spurs don't have such a log-jam at the swing positions, and Devin gets to play, which is definitely the best thing for him.
excuse me while I take this time to cry my friggin eyes out.
cap room, 12thman, no floor time.. blah blah blah.. I DON'T CARE!I wanted Devin to stay a Spur 4-eva
No one is overhyping it except the haters who are exagerating how other people are reacting.
Yes, it's a win-win for this season.
But ideally, the Spurs would have gotten rid of a contract and kept him (and yes, the Spurs F.O. thinks that would have been ideal too ... otherwise they wouldn't have spent the last few weeks trying to make it work).
Next summer, we'll see if it will be a smart move long term. Finley's one year contract will be over. And Barry will be almost 35 years old.
Good luck, Devin.

That's 'bidness.
Some here seem incapable of understanding it. Holt Cat's nut must taste too good.
Indeed.Good luck, Devin.
Spurs fans quickly forget what happened between 1999 and 2003. The Spurs got old and slow on the perimeter and other teams in the league, namely the Lakers, used that flaw to embarrass the team. I remember Kobe hounding Terry Porter full court and Shaq bending over Danny Ferry.
The Spurs need a young athlete at the swing position to come off the bench. Devin fit the bill.
Now this year with the addition of Finley, they can probably survive without that. But sooner than Spurs fans realize, it will become a glaring hole if the Spurs don't plug it.
Remember 2001.
Now that Devin gets his expected salary, what's the chance he has enough playing time, given Jazz's current roster? (Suppose he is injury-free)
He'll probably start and average 30 minutes per game.
Our loss is Utah's huge gain! Best of luck, Devin. = ) .
Hey, does Devin get to come here for the ring/ banner ceremony? It wouldn't be quite right without him.
Don't worry he'll come back again like he has before
CAREER TRANSACTIONS
Went unpicked in the 2002 NBA Draft … signed as a free agent by the Spurs (9/30/02) … waived by the Spurs (10/23/02) … signed as a free agent by the Spurs (11/3/02) … waived by the Spurs (11/19/02) … signed by the Nuggets to a 10-day contract (4/4/03) … signed as a free agent by the Spurs (8/1/03
Plus you never know when depth will be important in a given season. It may turn out to have been worthwhile to have a Devin Brown at the end of the bench in the upcoming season.
But no, let's ing cheer when Holt Cat saves a few bucks. Anyone have some Vaseline and toilet paper up in here?
Look, it sucks that we lost Devin. I liked his hustle and energy.
But the Spurs couldn't find anyone at the moment willing to take players off their hands to the extent that they would free up enough cap room to make Devin's signing anything other than a 5 million dollar cap hit.
It sucks, but about the only way this wasn't going to happen was if the Spurs didn't get Finley or they found someone to trade another player or two over to who would send us back less salary in return.
And as we all know, teams pretty much don't want to help us one bit.
Yes, the Spurs are cheap.
He's right...I personally don't think we needed Finley and don't think he's going to be a good fit for this team. I think Devin was set to come into his own this season as a scoring defensive presence off the bench. I think Finely will put up numbers...but I don't trust him in the post season.
And Barry, Bruce, Finley...those guys play the positions with the shortest NBA life span...Manu is the only young guy we have playing 2 guard or SF...
It would have been nice to have some young energy that can play D or hit open shots at those positions...
Plus, Devin took a pay cut and less PT to come here, and he had put in enough time with the team to deserve being given a shot...it just seems like the Spurs kind of jerked him around.
In fairness to the Spurs...I think the back did make them nervous...
