    It doesn't sounds like he has gotten any offers and the Spurs need to pick up a 5th swingman. Glenn is perfect for this roll. Anybody know what gives. I think he can be had for the vet min at this point.

    too many head cases on one team will not be good. spurs are already going to have problems with Van Exel, especialy if Beno improves and beats Nick out for minutes.

    Maybe the vet min is too much for the Spurs.

    If I were Glenn, I'd wait right up until training camp to see if someone would pay more than the Vet. Minimum. If there were state taxes, that would also weigh in my decision.

    If he sticks with the Spurs one more season then they'll have his Early Bird rights next summer. With Finley and NVE on 1 year deals, it would seem to make sense to at least keep Robinson around for the vet min.

    Agree. He makes much more since for the 5th swingman at the vet min. than Devin did at $2.5 (really $5M).

    What if they don't do so because he will cost some foregone lux tax distributions? Will you come over to the dark side?

    Interestingly valid point DeMarcus.

    Have you ever noticed how Big Dog and Nicky V. have that same look on the court...I think it's that mischievous grin?

    They have to have a minimum amount of players on the roster, so somebody is obviously going to have to be signed for the vet min. I believe the Spurs would go slightly over the luxury tax threshold for the right player. Devin is not that player with our current depth at his position and questionable health for an average player that could be replaced with numerous average SGs in the league for less.

    Why sign an experienced 10+ year vet with a career 20 ppg scoring average when you can sign a rookie for the price of a rookie min contract?

    Why are you even a Spurs fan?

    You know what model the ownership group operates under, yet you and moan non-stop about it even though they have been one of the most successful franchises in pro sports since taking over the franchise without deviating from their business model.

    Perhaps you would get more enjoyment out of being a fan of a team that has a free spending owner like the Mavericks or Blazers. Or do you just enjoy ing?

    options still available:

    SF
    Kapono - Theron smith - Matt Barnes - Glenn

    SG-SF
    Winston - jacobsen - sanders

    Winston and barnes came in SA for try-outs, sanders was one of the leader of the summer league and deserves a training camp invitation (at least) and we all know big dog
    the 5th swing man is one of those...

    i think barnes could potentially be a better answer to the aging line up than devin...

    maybe it's too much for GRob seeing that no one else is offering.

    Why are you even a Spurs fan?
    Because I am a basketball fan and am from San Antonio. That doesn't mean I have to cheer when guys in suits, not uniforms, make more cash by forcing bad basketball decisions.

    You know what model the ownership group operates under, yet you and moan non-stop about it even though they have been one of the most successful franchises in pro sports since taking over the franchise without deviating from their business model.
    The model had been ownership keeping the hands off the basketball end of things and letting Pop guide things with assistance from RC, Presti and before, Schuler. Now ownership is interfering with the basketball end of things. That is not good, if you are a basketball fan and not a fan of the Spurs' income statement.

    Perhaps you would get more enjoyment out of being a fan of a team that has a free spending owner like the Mavericks or Blazers. Or do you just enjoy ing?
    Actually, I get enjoyment out of seeing a team win. Perhaps you weren't paying attention when the Spurs didn't have perimeter talent to pay. Now is not the time for the Spurs to start losing talent. Especially when they are by no means set at that position past next season.

    This isn't hard to understand. It was an awful basketball decision and all you can offer is 'but gollee, they've won some championships'.

    Maybe he is and the Spurs could have him back if ownership stopped meddling.

    I think GRob might be waiting to sign with the first team that offers more than the minimum. Not sure he'll get it, but it is encouraging that he seems willing to ride the bench again.

    The Spurs probably want their fifth swingman to be younger than GRob. They have to get some youth on the bench, even if only to groom for later.

    I think GRob will sign somewhere where he'll actually play.
