But, that has now changed to plan C. New Orleans Hornets Forward PJ Brown is no longer an option, his agent Mark Bartlestein confirming that Brown has agreed to stay in New Orleans. News 4 has also learned that that the Spurs were close to landing PJ Brown late Friday night, but that, Brown chose a four year 40 million dollar deal over the Spurs offer of five years. Keep watching and listening to News 4 WOAI and the Ticket760 for all the latest Spurs free agent news. </div>
this is perfect, the spurs are missing out on all the free agents. i really think parker's comments are hurting the spurs chances to get free agents. i'm surprised pj is staying, i thought he would go to the heat or cavs. he's getting a nice contract and i guess he's content with the franchise eventhough they got rid of silas.

This just proves how much of a commodity getting a good big man is. 10 million a year for 4 years is a lot, but the Hornets had little choice if they wanted to keep him. The Spurs were offering 40 mil over 5 years. The Hornets had to beat it to keep him. Brown is a good defender and rebounder. The Hornets need him if they are to advance into the ECF and beyond. They know this, and it came with a price, a price they were willing to pay.
the pj brown thing is new to me. But what happened to the magics plan to go over the cap to get a good player? I guess no one wants to go there..
