This is a sad day in Maverick-land
but certainly the right move for the Mavs. Finley had been declining and becoming more injury prone.
His efforts will always be remembered, and his legacy will be his professionalism and unselfishness during his Dallas tenure. He will be missed among the Maverick fans, and he can count on a standing ovation from the crowd his first game back in the AAC.
The word is the Spurs are intereseted, although they can't offer as much as teams like the Heat and Pistons. With everyone the Heat brought in, and the political crap going on in Detroit, Finley's best option is the Spurs. He can go from one professinally run organization to maybe the most professionally run organization in the League...and be in line to win a coveted NBA championship in the process.
We'll miss you, Fin!
