Only three days after being released by a San Antonio Spurs team FINALLY starting to realize why they are no longer carded at Applebees, Michael Finley has signed with alleged NBA contenders the Boston Celtics. This adds to an already admirable collection of elderly 3-ball jacking statesman, and continues to confuse me as to the direction of this now-or-never success story, turned whimsical island stronghold for disparaged me-first castaways...
The release of Finley shows a dedicated diligence toward the implementation of the Spurs youth movement. In particular the development of George Hill, the lanky do it all combo guard out of IUPUI (Never heard of it? You're not alone...) Popovich is a no nonsense dude and he likes to reward tough guys, hard workers, and smart playmaking so telling the media openly that Hill is his favorite player on the team, even as an offhand comment, is pretty damn meaningful in my book! Although it seems like a no-brainer move to release long time Spurs jump shooting sidekick Finley (If you love something set it free... or at least let it go somewhere it might get some playing time) I think we now have enough evidence to officially call it a trend after Bowen, Thomas, Barry, and now Mikey F have been jettisoned to make way for budding rook's and soph's, I'm looking your way DeJuan Blair!!
And now a link to some NWS George Hill dik-pics ENJOI!!
