Tyson Chandler for Manu anyone?

[cp3forever]

Tyson Chandler + filler for Manu. Both teams benefit. Hornets trying to clear the salary space and Manu's expiring contract is nice for them. Manu is too injury-prone that spurs can't afford him being down every big time to waste Duncan's remain years. Chandler is still a top 10 center in the NBA when healthy and Spurs finally have a good big to play with TD.

That must be some good stuff you're smokin' there. I thought I had just entered another dimension.

However, let's get realistic...we'll give you your choice of Vaughn, Udoka, Finley, and Thomas. We'll give you all 4 if you throw David West in on the deal.

Manu is an expiring contract next year, we can defenetily get better than Chandler if we want to trade him.

[Hooks]

Chandler sucks, he's not good at all. It seems like the only time I see him score is from an alley oop from Paul.

Only if that filler is CP3. :lol

I don't know how's his contract but I'm sure is bigger than Manus but if you add the others expiring contracts the Spurs have you can make it work.

[exstatic]

Hornets won't get anything close to an All NBA/All Star guard for Chandler. They were too obviously salary dumping him at the deadline to try to play hardball now. Shit, we might be front runners with two 50% guaranteed contracts (Bowen,Oberto) they can cut immediately and save $4M.

[ducks]

bowen and oberto for him
plus they would cut bowen
and spurs could pick him up again

[Sean Cagney]

HELL NO! Chandler is alright but tapped out already, we know who he is and it's not that great to say the least. Manu is our heart as proven in the playoffs (Tim is the leader I know), we missed him and his finishing so much in the playoffs this year.

[Mel_13]

Manu for either Hamilton or Prince works straight up without fillers. Hamilton's contract is expiring as well, he plays the same position, and is only a few months younger. Not sure either team has much motivation to do that deal.

Prince is more than 2yrs younger, has two yrs left on his deal, and plays a position of need for the Spurs while helping the Pistons clear more space for 2010. There would seem to be something tangible there for both teams.

throw George Hill in and I'll do it

Hornets will be lucky if they can unload Chandler without giving up at least one first round pick. The Nuggets didn't get anything for Camby, but at least they didn't have to give up two first rounders like PHX did to get rid of KT's contract. Hornets fans shouldn't get their hopes up.

[mookie2001]

uhh yes please

id trade manu for considerations

[manufan10]

We'll give you some basketballs and some water bottles for Chandler.

What's your deal with Manu?

Chandler >>>>> Camby & KT

[mytespurs]

No!

Yeah I don't know Spurs still keep these things you get from the Scola trade

[Mel_13]

Chandler >>>>> Camby & KT

1. That's your opinion

2. He is owed much more money than either of those two were.

3. Neither one of them had recently failed a physical performed by a doctor who had once operated on them.

[rayray2k8]

1 broken player for another.. Sounds square to me. :)

[TMTTRIO]

It'll be interesting what happnes to Manu. He either comes back having a whole summer (longer too then normal) to rest and rehab and comes back having an awesome season (then it would be hard not to trade him) knowing that this will be another contract year for him where he can earn something either with the Spurs or another team or he comes back and has another unhealthy year in which no team will want to trade anything valuable for him. It should get interesting.

[ss1986v2]

im sure somebody would be willing to offer expirings for chandler alone. the sonics traded expirings for him this year before the injury issues caused them to balk.

i could also see a team with some cap space willing to absorb at least some of chandlers salary outright. detroit, for example, has about 15 mil in space this summer. why not throw 8-9 mil of that at a power forward (maybe paul milsap), then move kwame or amir for chandler (havent crunched the numbers, but its pretty close)?

and just so we have all things straight, hamilton signed an extension this year. his contract runs through 2013 now.

[peskypesky]

Chandler is not much without CP3 feeding him the ball for alley-oops. So no.

[baseline bum]

Gooden for Chris Paul!

[SequSpur]

manu should be traded for chris bosh.

[afireinside20]

Chandler is nice and energetic, but other than someone feeding him alley oops he's worthless on our team. He has no real fundamental skills about him.

[misterx91578]

manu should be traded for chris bosh.

if it comes with an extension for bosh i'm down

[manu the best]

NEVER !!!!!!!!!!!! if the thunder(losers) didn't sign him .. why should the spurs(winners) ... and specially for MANU ..


MANU=:lobt2:

[manu the best]

He's a Hornets fan. It's obvious this won't help the Spurs.


agree .. of course he want his team to improve and our team to suck ..



MANU=:lobt2:

[baseline bum]

As a Ginobili fan and a Spurs fan I actually kind of like this trade. The Raptors are not going to resign Bosh. So the Spurs get their new franchise player. TP to CB right?

And as a Ginobili fan people get to see just how good Manu is when he is the first option getting franchise player touches. Then Manu will just resign with us for 2010.

Chris Bosh and franchise player should never be mentioned in the same sentence.

[Lars]

Chris Bosh and franchise player should never be mentioned in the same sentence.

Chris Bosh is not a franchise player...

[MarCowMar]

Manu should only be traded if he is too injured to play or we have given up on winning in the Duncan era and want to start rebuilding around Tony.

Personally I think we should just keep his expiring contract and killer instinct. Make one more run with the big three and hope we can find a piece or two to put us over the top.

If we trade Manu odds are we just get back a bloated and long-term contract of a lesser player.

[ElNono]

Throw in David West, and we throw in a lot of filler to make salaries work, and we might have a deal.

[smeagol]

Manu for Scola

[RamReddy]

hell no

[poop]

maybe if it was 2008 Chandler

[to21]

I'd do it.....w/ West and some people off our current roster.

[rascal]

Thats not a good deal for the Spurs. Chandler is not a difference maker.

If manu was too injured to play no deal would go down. The so called big 3 will not win another title with the type of role players the spurs are filling out the roster with.

[Muser]

No, but you can have Matt Bonner free of charge.

:rollinFunny stuff. Good one rancher.And to sweeten the deal well give you bonner for paul straight up.:lol

[peskypesky]

First off no. Second off a top 10 center in the NBA isn't saying much. Fun little fact, there was no back up center in the Eastern Confrence All Stars this year. Why? because there are no all star level centers behind Howard in the East.

There might be 3 all star level centers in the West, and don't think Chandler is one of them.

That is just sad. What the hell has happened to basketball? Have big men gotten that bad...or is it the result of the rules changes in the past couple of decades?

the NBA wanted to tame Shaq, increase the chance of another Jordan (or Jordans), and make the game more "exciting", so the rules have been warped to make it harder for big men to dominate and easier for perimeter players to score.

i wonder if the NBA put the rules back the way they were before Shaq if we'd see more impressive play from Centers.

Uh....no. People are writing Manu off way too soon. Chandler's good but he's not as big a difference maker as Manu is.

Thank you.

[SA210]

Manu plays with more heart than anyone and people want to let him go. :rolleyes

[Knoxxx]

Manu may not bring much in a trade with the injuries. I can't see anyone paying him a big salary at his age either starting 2010. He would be great to have on our roster from 2010-2012 at $5 million per.

He also needs to go to a crew cut hair style to minimize "the spot." That may make him feel younger and more energized as well.

to some extent, it's that big men have gotten more athletic and can now do things that they couldn't in the past that prevent them from being labeled a center. how many 7 footers in the history of the game can do some of the things that dirk does?

there is something to lament in the slow death of the back to the basket big men, but it's not all because of a lack of skill or rules changes.
