Next Year I Think He Would Be A Good Replacement For Bruce Bowen And He's Unhappy With Dallas With The Deal They Gave Him A 5 Year Deal 4 About 20 M
I thought the offer they gave him was $20M less than Tayshaun. That would make their first offer 5 years/$28M.
I heard that it included incentives to make it up to $35M but that he's looking for more than that. I'm guessing they'll resolve it though.
OK now i can understand why some Spurs fans on here get annoyed at unrealistic threads that pop up every time a good player has a contract dispute or is a FA
you wish you'd get him... ha. Even if he becomes a restricted FA and the spurs offer him anything, be sure Cubes won't let him go to the spurs, don't dream. He'd match that spurs offer before we even find out about it
How is this Rasho related?
Give him half a brain and then I'm in.
Frankly, I'm still pissed at the Spurs for not drafting him in the first place - choosing instead to trade out of the round. Totally inexcusable.
Let's just sign a role player for next year and then 08 when he's a UFA, then we sign him.
If the Spurs wanted Josh Howard they would have drafted him.... The Spurs passed on him....
Next year is out of the question. He'll be restricted and Cuban would match ANY offer SA threw at him. If, however, he were to accept Dallas' qualifying offer next year and play out his option, he'd be unrestricted in 2008. Same applies to Diaw in PHO.
Offer him the max.
yes because they never traded sean elliot to trade for him again
That's why they didn't draft Josh Howard? Wow. Inside information...
i think it was the WF scout that d us up, and the other scout that was lookin at the bust in the makin tellin us to draft...whoever it was...
Well, we won't HAVE the MAX to offer him next year, and the Spurs are enough of a red cape to Cuban, that no matter what he's offering now, Cuban matches any offer from SA, even if it's to trade him later. The only shot the Spurs have is for him to be unrestricted and pissed off at Dallas foir their lowball offerings. That can only happen in '08.
They drafted...um, let's see...no one.
The Spurs passed up on Josh Howard by drafting Leandro Barbosa and trading him to Phoenix... I saw how Josh played at Wake Forest and he was a solid player. I was disappointed when the Spurs passed up on him.
howard is soft
Man I hope we do land Howard. I could see it now, game 7 of NBA Finals Spurs up 1 with no timeouts left and Howard makes a huge steal with 2 seconds remaining and calls a timeout!! Who knows maybe after losing that game Howard kicks the s out of the exercise better then Dirk did!
Lets get him.
That's a techicality to skirt a rule that you can't trade your first round "pick" two years in a row, the Ted Stepien rule. You never want to compromise your ability to just trade your pick when you might need to, so you draft a pre-arranged player FOR someone, then trade the player. Had this rule not existed, the pick would have been directly traded, and the Spurs would have drafted no one. The Spurs also "drafted" John Salmons, and that HS kid that they traded to Dallas, Smith I think? Same scenario. None of those players were ever going to be Spurs.
Okay, its DEFINITELY time for the season start. It can't get here soon enough for some fans.
Gonna agree with Ducks on this one, though I'll try clarify a bit better. Just because the Spurs thought one thing about Howard before he was drafted doesn't mean they think of him the same way now...especially considering what he's done in his three years.
Are you saying that if the Spurs knew then what they know now, they would have traded away the pick and passed on Howard again? I don't think so.
Having said that, we'd never get him for the MLE and I'm not sure he'll be around in '08 when we should have enough money to do something about it. Chances are that we'll never see him in a Spurs uni, but if the Spurs got that chance I wouldn't be upset if they offered him $9-10 mil a year.
actually I disagree. They traded barbosa (duuuumb) and passed on jho, two solid players that would be helping their team right now no question.If the Spurs wanted Josh Howard they would have drafted him.... The Spurs passed on him....
Who do you rather have Jho or nobody ? mm... bull if you say nobody. They had the pick, all they had to do was select him, and didn't even though he could be helping them right now. They don't want help with their team ?, bull
Glad you "wouldn't be upset" cause that's most likely what he'll get in a MAVS uniform, not the ugly gray/black/white SA wears.but if the Spurs got that chance I wouldn't be upset if they offered him $9-10 mil a year.
Maybe we'll sign Parker when his contract is up, and for the same price as SA would offer him... oh wait no thanks, he is a french .
