    Spurs Make Offers
    LAST UPDATE: 7/12/2006 1:45:14 PM

    This story is available on your cell phone at mobile.woai.com.

    The San Antonio Spurs made offers to two restricted free agents this morning, and will not have the services of 2001 draft pick Robertas Javtokas for the upcoming season.

    Javtokas' agent Herb Rudoy told News 4 WOAI that the Spurs made offers to New York's Jackie Butler and Denver's Francisco Elson.

    Javtokas immediately signed a deal to play with Panathinaikos Greece in the European League. Rudoy told News 4 that Javtokas was "surprised" at the Spurs decision, but that he got a great contract from Panathinaikos.

    Butler is a 2 year NBA Veteran who averaged 5.3 points last year with the New York Knicks. He's only 21 years old and played in the CBA for one year before going to the Knicks. He went undrafted after declaring for the draft after his final year at Coastal Christian Academy in Virginia. Butler is 6-10 260 pounds.

    Elson is a 4 year NBA veteran who also played 4 seasons in Spain before coming to the NBA. He averaged 4.9 points for the Nuggets last season.

    NBA rules state that both the Nuggets and the Knicks will have seven days to match the Spurs offer. If the offers are matched they can retain the services of those players. Tune into News 4 WOAI at 5pm and 6pm for the latest Spurs News.

    Elson or Butler will be our f***ing starters??? With Horry and Oberto as our backups?

    Call me crazy, but I'd almost rather have Nazr or Rasho instead

    butler at least is intriguing. he's got some talent and if he has the drive along with the smarts to realize that playing next to duncan can really jumpstart his career, this could work.

    but i'd rather have Javtokas than Elson every day of the week and 3 times on game nights...

    This offseason is officially a disaster in my mind. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it looks like they have no clue.

    I like Butler, but if he money is the same I'd take Javtokas over Elson.

    Why would we want both?

    Actually, I like Butler, but why would we want Elson....

    Let's dish out the other half of the MLE to Ariza or Woods....

    Butler (definitely)....now Ariza or Woods, and get rid of the thoughts of getting Elson.....

    Javtokas....oh well, gotta wait another season.

    How much did Javtokas want?

    If I were him, I'd tell them to OFF and never call again. Was there ever a more perfect situation to give him a try?

    I like the offer to Butler. I was really hoping to see what Javtokas could do in the NBA. I guess the Spurs felt that he really wouldn't add much to the team this year.

    So we may end up with both Butler and Elson. Interesting.

    Exactly. Regardless, I thought they idea was to bring over Javtokas and get him integrated. What the is going on?

    It sounds like the Spurs wanted Javtokas to take the LLE and tried to force his hand but it backfired on them.

    I don't understand why Robertas immediately signed a contract when he heard the Spurs offered Butler and Elson. Can he not wait?
