    Wow. I guess they must be signing him. Why else would he have to pass a physical?

    Good news if that's the case.

    Training camp invitees are signed to regular contracts, with the only difference being that the money (which is usually unguaranteed anyway) doesn't count towards cap and taxes if they're cut before opening night.

    So, if you decided to sign a draft pick for the training camp and then you cut him, you would lose the rights to him (e.g. James Gist in 2010).

    Nah, much too early for that.If the Spurs aren't signing him, the only other explanation I can think of is the Spurs want to see him workout in person before they decide whether to extend a contract offer.

    But my guess is he's going to sign. They've scouted him enough to know whether or not they want him.

    So, apparently, De Colo and TP are expected back in France on Friday. Is it safe to infer that the Spurs have officially cleared Tony to travel?

    Parker will flight to New York Thursday and be back in France Friday. The doctor that has forbid him to flight to the USA before July 5th was the surgeon who worked on his eye in France. He has too made a trip to Genova to have another opinion on his eye.

    All signs point in the direction that Parker will be cleared to play after that trip to NY. Everybody seems optimistic in the FNT and the coach has already cut 2 PGs.

    If the Spurs ink both De Colo and retain Mills then Marcus Denmon should play Vegas then sign in Europe for a season or two. James Gist style.

    Yeah, the BAE (that's what the LLE is called now) is probably the ceiling. BAE max is $4M over two years.

    BTW, the source of this if a press release from the french federation:
    http://www.ffbb.com/_actu/page_m.php...p=actu&id=8692

    Nando De Colo, qui doit passer des tests physiques à San Antonio dans le cadre de négociations avec la franchise texane, devrait être de retour à Orléans le vendredi 6 juillet dans la journée.
    Nando De Colo, who has to pass physical tests in San Antonio, in the context of negotiations with the Texas franchise, should be back in Orleans (that's where FNT is) Friday.

    De Colo will be with the French national team. No summer league.



    I guess it's possible that this could just be a case of getting the physical out of the way now while the two sides continue to negotiate. That makes a little bit of sense since De Colo will be busy with the FNT in coming weeks.

    But I've never heard of the Spurs giving a physical to a player they aren't about to sign . . .
