Nothing
I don't think SAC has any interest in trading Cousins.

Anyone think sjax will get flipped in a trade next season?
It's a possibility but it will depend a lot on what he does in the playoffs.
That's what good with the RJ for Jack trade. If Jack doesn't work out for either off the court or on the court reasons, he will still be a big fat expiring contract with the trade value associated to it.
So if you trade SJ would you do it for players and draft picks or just a player? What player would we want?
I agree; I think it really depends whether in feb 2013 the spurs look poised to make a deep run or not. If they're floating around 6th seed or lower, I wouldn't be surprised if he's shipped regardless of how he's playing. Another consideration is that he'll be in last year of contract mode, so that should up his value.
It's been mentioned before that a lot of cap room frees up next summer (2013), but as we've seen to many times before FAs spurn the Spurs. May be a better bet to acquire players already under contract, and hence my thought re Jax.
Well I know people have talked about Batum and Omri I am not sure where each one is as far as contracts. So wondering which of these two guys are the right guy to go after so we continue our youth movement. I haven't watched Omri since his first couple of games in the league but I did like his passion and his heart for the game.
kings open to offers for tyreke evans
Good luck with that, Kings.
Josh Smith express his will to leave Atlanta after this year, maybe Spurs could go after him with an offer including Tiago, Smith will be better fit to Duncan for the later years of his career as Tiago and Duncan don't work together for Pop.
Thoughts on trading Neal & Blair for a lotto pick?
No chance we get a lotto pick for just Neal and Blair. The highest we could possibly go would be 15 with the 76ers who need outside shooting. Would love if we could package Bonner with them too, Neal and Bonner are the definition of outside shooting.
Best case scenario is early-mid 20s I think for those two
I mean that's what we're all waiting for isn't it? Otherwise this draft is going to be pretty damn boring. Spurs have acquired enough interesting young(ish) assets (Green, Blair, Neal, Splitter, Anderson, De Colo's Rights, Hanga's Right) to make a move like in last year's draft.
But a big factor last year was the weakness of that draft, which is not the case this year. I see softness in this draft in the early 20s on, but not before then. Last year, the draft got soft after pick 10.
JUST DONT MOVE KL!!! I hope he is a Spurs for a LONG time.
Batum is it possible ?
Since OKC is the major rival, like to have a long 3 who can shots the ball too and goes against Harden,etc...
We have already Leonard,Jax... and many people would prefer having a shotblocking big man, but batum can block some shots too, and can challenge green to the starting line up.
That would make a 5 like:
Tp
Batum 6-8
Leonard 6-7
Free Agent
Tim 6-11
And we could have off the bench:
Manu
Diaw
Jax
Green...
That makes us immediately taller, and more athlectic team, and way way deeper in scoring ability.
Is this realistic enough ?
Too many swingmen, I think. If the Jackson for Okafor + #10 rumor were somehow true, then I suppose it would be possible. But having 3 rotation-worthy swingmen on the bench (not even counting Neal) seems a bit much to me.

Batum isn't available at all.
Olshey was Clippers GM and is now Blazers GM:
http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/in...s_is_a_co.html
“As far as I’m concerned, LaMarcus is a cornerstone of the franchise,” Olshey said. “In my mind, he and Nic Batum are what Chris Paul and Blake were to the Clippers, what we were trying to build there. Once you have those two pieces, that bedrock, in place, now you start working out tangentially and adding guys that complement those players.”
I laughed BAtum a cornestone to the franchise does he believe that ?
I would do that pretty damn quick.
OMG so Jax won't stay ? sad for him...
but if it is true damn that would be good
Me too, but I'm deeply skeptical that New Orleans would.
If you want to go really nuts with the utterly unlikely dream scenarios, imagine Jack for Okafor and the #10, and also signing KG for the MLE. Draft, say, Terrence Ross (best swingman on the board) and sign De Colo for the LLE, and you're looking at:
PG: Parker, De Colo
SG: Leonard, Manu, Neal
SF: Ross, Green
PF: Garnett, Splitter
C: Duncan, Okafor
So you're looking at Okafor as your 3rd big, you have some real athleticism on the wing for a change, and you have an utterly ridiculous Parker/Manu/Leonard/Garnett/Duncan lineup in crunch time.
But all of this is daydreaming. Neither KG nor Okafor is a likely scenario at this point, never mind landing both.
what rumor is that? any links.. when did this come up
So if you get there 10 pick who would we want?
Terrence Ross SG 6'7
Myers Leondard C 7'1
The New Orleans paper reported the rumor that the Hornets were trying to get out from under Okafor's contract, which is around $13 million for 2 years, and I think there's a partial guarantee or a buyout for year 3. In order to get him moved, supposedly they're considering bundling the contract with the #10, which is less important since they have the #1.what rumor is that? any links.. when did this come up
Dell Demps, their GM, is a Spurs alum, so we're a natural for him to deal with, and Jack has a $10 million expiring contract, so if you throw in a third stringer to make the numbers match, it would line up. So there is some cir stantial evidence to support the idea that the Spurs might be the other side of that deal. As far as I know, there's no confirmation that there are actual negotiations on a deal, so it's anybody's guess.
I tend to assume things like this are going to fall apart or were fake to begin with, but it's certainly an enticing idea if it were to somehow prove true.
Well the Hornets are going to want to tank again next year so they got number one this year they will want to tank one more year for another top pick.
C - Okafor/Splitter
PF - Duncan/Lobrek
SF - Kawhi/Terrence Ross
SG - Manu/Xavier Henry
PG - Tony/?
Tbh I like it. I think Henry can still be a solid player in this league.
