Finley to the Spurs

Quote:
The team that won the Michael Finley Sweepstakes is the same team that just won an NBA championship.

Finley told ESPN.com on Wednesday that he has chosen to sign with the San Antonio Spurs, spurning a richer offer from the Miami Heat and the lure of an emotional return to the Phoenix Suns to reunite with close friend Steve Nash.

The Dallas Mavericks tried for weeks to move Finley to an Eastern Conference team to prevent him from joining the Spurs or the Suns. When it couldn't swing a trade before the Aug. 15 deadline to exercise the NBA's new amnesty clause, Dallas reluctantly waived the two-time All-Star, making Finley an unrestricted free agent and the target of an intense two-week courtship that also involved the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Full Story

We as Mavs fans should be happy for Finley after all he's done for us. Its hurts that he is in the same conference and divison as us. The Spurs are seriously deep now

Re: Finley to the Spurs

You know, I first heard about this last night, and people were going on and on about how pissed off the Mavericks must be and blah blah blah. I'm not mad or upset at all and I have no idea why anyone would think we would be upset by this.

It's not like Finley left on bad terms or anything. He would've happily stayed and we would've happily kept him. It was all just a financial thing. Since he was set free and still has game left he wanted to play somewhere, so why not play for the Spurs?

I seriously doubt that Finley was trying to "stick it to us" or Mark Cuban, and it kind of annoys me that some people are trying to create Maverick drama out of this. Oh well.

Sure, this makes it even harder for us to get into the Finals since the Spurs now have probably the best bench in the league. At the same time, this makes it even harder for Phoenix as you know they were praying and hoping with all their might for him to go there. They're now a team with no defense, a coach who has shown no ability to coach defense, and a partially castrated offense. I can guarantee that team is a lot more worried than we are.

Re: Finley to the Spurs

I think the Mavs and the Rockets are the only two teams deep enough to contend with the Spurs.
