Sonics, Spurs, Pistons And Wolves Ready To Go After EvansRoger Montgomery, Maurice Evans' agent, said Saturday the Kings have not aggressively attempted to retain his client. "Based on their recent acquisitions," Montgomery said, "I would have to infer the Kings are not really into re-signing Maurice. They have not been proactive pre-Bonzi Wells and post-Bonzi Wells. So I'm led to infer they have other plans that don't include Maurice." The Timberwolves, Spurs, Pistons and Sonics all appear interested in Evans.

"He's really wanted this for a long time," said Oberto's agent, Herb Rudoy, who also represents Emanuel Ginobili. "When I told him we had reached agreement, he said, 'I can't talk, I can only tell you same thing Manu said: My body is too small for my heart. I'm so happy; that's how I feel.'" On the other hand, Scola might not be able to reach the NBA until his contract expires in three years. His buyout with Tau Ceramica is a whopping $14.5 million. Because of this, it is also possible the Spurs will trade his rights but the buyout could scare teams away. Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Spurs Jul 2005 Archive
