It's alway Udirh / Oberto / Barry.
I know Fins contract is huge. But Dallas is paying most of it. Is there some sort of clause where if the Spurs trade him the team that gets him has to pay more of his salary? Not saying I'd like to see him traded. Just curious why his name isn't mentioned more often.
Because he hasn't played well and he isn't young, so there probably aren't many teams who would be interested.
Though Barry is old, he is shooting extremely well, so that might lead teams to want him.
Beno is young, so that might lead teams to want him.
Also the Spurs like to stick it to the Mavs, We got a player you're paying for.
If we trade him, and do win, see how easy it will be to get a veteran to play for cheaper
finley is not the reason the spurs are losing.
I'm confused, from reading your post, are you stating the Finley has a big contract. He's not playing on the Spurs w/ the contract he had w/ the Mavs, Dallas is on the hook for that still.
Yes he is. Had they never signed him, they would've needed another wing player and would've probably tried to get a young one. He can't hit a shot, or play D so yes, he is the reason they are losing.
why is not finley ever mentioned in trade?
let me guess... nobody wants him?
i don't think that DAL will even take him back even if we commit to reimburse all of Finley's cost plus some more cash, esp. if there's a condition that he should be in the rotation...
Exactly.
Finley was good in the playoffs last year. He showed up, and he aint the problem. the problem is rebounding and the bigs. Horry, oberto, elson put together cant even help duncan do . I could probably score at will against that trio.
His contract is the reason he's never mentioned. He's not making , so you can't get back.
I was just asking if the contract he signed with the Spurs had some sort of a clause. The year he got out of Dallas it was on an exception, so I thought MAYBE there was some clause in the exception where if the Spurs got rid of him the team getting him would have to pay more (or all) of his original salary in Dallas.
Don't think that's the case though.
Wouldn't a quality player with a low salary be attractive to some teams though?
No, Finley's current contract with the Spurs is all a new team would have to pay.
Yeah, but what kind of talent are you going to get back for with low contracts? No one is going to give up youth for Finley, and rookie contracts are the only contracts you are going to see where the quality or promise of a player aligns with low dollar amounts.
Barry and Finley are about the same right now, but Barry has a bigger contract which makes him a more "tradeable" asset because its easier to work trades around him.
Besides, what trade rumors do you ever hear that aren't anything more than some sports writer thinking outloud? The only one I can think of this year is the Magette deal. There probably are talks that involve Finley, but I doubt they ever become serious or the public ever hears about them. It isnt' like he's untradeable.
Finley could be a throw-in in a deal, but for the money that he is making ... there just are not many players making that low of contract and still be productive on the floor ... Except for, as stated, the rookie contracts. Nobody is going to trade a rookie that could turn into something, for a player that wont even be around in a few years.
His contract is so low that it doesn't even have "expire appear"
I quite disagree with that, package him with Williams and you can get a player paid $9M per year.
A reason why Finley isn't mentioned in trade rumors is that his trade value is quite low and Spurs have no reason to trade him because his contract isn't big enough to hurt them.
before the trade deadline, I put players in 3 categories :
Won't be traded : Duncan, Ginobili, Parker and Bowen.
Won't be traded unless other teams want them : Vaughn, White, Finley, Horry, Bonner and Elson.
On the trading block : Udrih, Barry, Williams, Oberto and Butler.
Because Spurs think his time will come in the playoffs. Just like they tought that he will start playing great with the old ball. The old ball is back for 2+ months and he still sucks, just like Obero and Beno.
I think Finley might actually have some sort of trade kicker or something else he wanted in there when he agreed to sign with the Spurs.
he is so useless ,that we can´t even use him as a trade.
You think Barry is on the block? I wouldn't think the Spurs were opposed to trading him, especially for a talent like Maggette, but I'm not sure if he's openly being shopped. I agree with everything else.
best money Cuban ever spent...
Our MAIN problem is lack of productivity from the backup PG spot (inconsistency) and no real quality centers. Elson and Oberto are good second-third stringers, but the two aren't quality starters.
Because whether you like his current play or not, fact is he took way below market value at the time to play the Spurs specifically, and the Spurs alone. Trading him could arguably be considered a slap in the face, given the original terms of his signing, whether explicit or implicit. Now granted, that moral obligation has lessened with the mere passing of time, since he'd have played most his contract with the team he signed even if he's traded immediately. But point remains, the negative consequences from trading him concerning future free agency signings for a small market franchise that is not a traditionally a hot FA destination could potentially far outweigh the benefits. So, unless you can get something that is a significant improvement, we might be better off standing pat. And for the same reasons some here are so keen on ridding ourselves of him, it's unlikely franchises are lining up with offers. So though you might wish what you please, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for anything to happen.
What finley is doing in SA could be considered a slap on the face as well,TO THE SPURS FANS,of course.
And who cares about Finley´s fellings anyways?so,basically you´re saying that the spurs should reather give up a championship run this year in order of¨ not hurting¨ Finley´s feeling?
what about spurs fans feelings Ainstain?
