Van Exel Courts Finley

Still no hints

Only a few hours into his tenure as a Spur, Nick Van Exel already is trying to make his first assist.

Van Exel, the veteran guard who signed a one-year contract with the Spurs on Monday, said this morning he has contacted former teammate Michael Finley and urged him to come to San Antonio.

Finley, the most prized free agent in the NBA, is expected to choose among the Spurs, Heat, Suns and Timberwolves as soon as today.

"I did my recruiting," said Van Exel, who played with Finley in Dallas. "But (Finley) didn't give me any hints. I think he wants to keep it a big secret."

If the Spurs don't land Finley, they will turn their attention toward re-signing restricted free agent Devin Brown, coach Gregg Popovich said this morning. Either Finley or Brown would fill the team's need for an extra wing player and give the Spurs 12 players under contract.

Van Exel must hold some serious personal hatred toward the Suns org. He did the same thing to McDyess . . .

There's a staff person where I work whose last name is Seisdedos ("Six fingers" in Spanish). Gotta wonder where that name came from.

Go up to him and say, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

LOL

Actually it's a woman, but that might be even better.

Just thinking. How would a six fingered person give an improper hand gesture if offended?

Also, I don't keep up with baseball much, but it would appear to me that a six fingered person might have an advantage in throwing different pitches.

Just a thought... only a thought.

Maybe it's just too early in the morning.

The six fingered person might be ok in england. The "peace" sign is the same thing and the bird. I have a friend from england and found out....

Also, with 6 fingers, that would be a nasty knucke ball!
