    Denver was expected to let the deadline pass at midnight Thursday without matching San Antonio's two-year, $6 million offer to Elson, who proved invaluable when Nene was sidelined last season.

    This looks like an AP report. I wouldn't put much stock it it.

    If it's true ...

    From the wording you can't tell if it's really any news

    Even if it was proper and said "Denver is expected" then that's still not news.

    It wouldn't be any big surprise if he wasn't matched. We've been trying to convince ourselves he would be for the last week.

    Sadly, we'll have to look for a young SF with trades. Unlikely.

    Can't say I'm happy with either of these acquisitions. These guys will have to earn my confidence. I guess Spurs thought they were looking at greener pastures, . . . we'll see soon enough.
    Stay tuned.

    The length of the contract is important too, $6M/2 years isn't a bad deal for a player like elson.

    Any contract for over the minimum is bad for a player like Elson. Detroit got Flip Murray for $3M/2 years. Granted Murray isn't that good of a basketball player but his stock has to be higher than the Nuggets' worst player.

    Elson is a center.
    There are few centers and teams need centers: they are expensive, it's the market law. Blame it on the capitalism.

    In the NBA, you pay out the ass for "tall". That's life.

    The Bulls/Nuggets trade is officially done. So now have Elson's chances of being matched have gone up? Or is this article not a complete phony?

    What's the difference. Spurs biggest challenge in the West is Suns and Mavs. Nobody they could get at the C position was going to make a difference because they wouldn't see the floor. The answer is still out there and affordable. Woods.
