TM: A player who signs an extension that is to begin the following season has what's known as a "poison pill" contract. He can no longer be traded for a player making equal money. Instead, his current salary is averaged with the salaries he is to receive in his extension and that average becomes his incoming salary for trade purposes.

BE: But that only lasts until July 1st, right?

TM: Yes.

BE: So after July 1st...

TM: Doesn't work.

BE: What do you mean, "Doesn't work"? Clearly you just said that after July 1st...

TM: July 1st doesn't exist. Only today exists. So say we all.

BE: But...

TM: SO SAY WE ALL!

Good stuff.

We field the Q's from PtR Project Spurs:
1. The Spurs have not lost at home to Golden State since 1997. What will the Warriors have to do to make sure the streak doesn't get to 24 straight games?

2. What are your thoughts on former Spur and Project Spurs favorite Anthony Tolliver?

3. The Warriors seem to always find gems in the D-League. Is that because of good scouting or pure luck?

4. Are Raja Bell's days numbered being a defensive specialist in Golen St? Yes I said Golen.

5. Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry seem to be very similar players, except Ellis is more athletic. How have they co-existed?

6. What is your key matchup for this game and what's your prediction?

[Wayne: These were questions that Mike DeLeon of Project Spurs asked the GSoM people. Not PtR.]

Looks like the Toros may have lost this guy permanently. Good on him for making his time in the league count, though.

Tim Povtak over at NBA Fanhouse believes Manu will be one of the biggest free agency targets

Yet another reason to love Cubits.

Charlotte Chandler didn't believe an NBA player would phone her son. But then Hill called and player and teen connected in a way Charlotte never imagined. At a time when doctors were treating a rare form of cancer in Lane's right leg, Hill became a friend. The kind who calls and asks, "How are you doin'?" The kind who invites you and two buddies to meet the team in the locker room. The kind who says, "Call if you need anything," and means it.

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT
"When he's Manu Ginobili, we're a significantly better basketball team, and he's been Manu for the last month."

-- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich after Ginobili led San Antonio to its eighth win in nine games (88-76 over the Heat)

"McDyess said it is not just about dunks that makes a career. I took what he said to heart and I tried to do that."

Shame on you, Antonio McDyess. And stay away from DeJuan Blair.

Even Monroe doesn't know that Tiago's team changed its name.

Trouble is, even that amount likely won't pry him out of Spain. That's because the prospect of an NBA lockout that could wipe out the entire 2011-12 season is enough to make any player making mega-Euros think twice about bolting for the NBA. Splitter's deal reportedly is worth more than $5 million.

The article then goes on with some wild speculation about a sign-and-trade involving Chris Bosh, but the Spurs wouldn't end up with him. Yikes.
