[iggypop123]

im shocked the committee pop is head of allowed this deal

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

epic fail on the spelling.

[IronMexican]

Good trade for SA.

[LeBronMVPjames]

Spurs can challange LA now!!!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Good trade for them indeed. I just checked Jefferson had a decent year this year.

[dirk4mvp]

eh. This reminds me of when spur fan thought Gooden was going to save them.


Now spur fan can't call any other team's player gay.

[IronMexican]

This still doesn't put SA over the top, but a good trade none the less. It should mean no more Finley starting. Who is going to stop LeBron now without Finley?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

is RJ gay or something?

[LeBronMVPjames]

eh. This reminds me of when spur fan thought Gooden was going to save them.


Now spur fan can't call any other team's player gay.

huh?? wtf???

[IronMexican]

And you spurfans are finally going to realize just how gay Luke and RJ are for each other.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I wonder if the Spurs manage to get Bowen back via buyout.

[tomtom]

holy shit i didnt htink they were gonna move anyone! not a bad trade at all

[robbie380]

is RJ gay or something?

he has a super poofy voice

[LeBronMVPjames]

he has a super poofy voice

:lmao :elephant :)

[Dr. Gonzo]

Spurs can challange LA now!!!

That's just inaccurate. I think they are still a way off from LA.

[LeBronMVPjames]

That's just inaccurate. I think they are still a way off from LA.

oh they still suck? haha

[iggypop123]

oh they still suck? haha

bonner is their only pf

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

No, Steven is right. They still would probably lose to LA in a 7 game series. It's a good trade for them but they are soft as hell at center.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Getting an aging Bowen back makes no difference. Spurs are undoubtedly much better after this trade, but their frontcourt is lacking to say the least. If they don't shore it up Timmy won't last again next year

[mytespurs]

Spurs can challange LA now!!!

Please!!! :rolleyes

It's not only about the Lakers; the Spurs have to be competitive in the west period!

So overall consensus is that this is a good deal for the Spurs? Silly question I know but I know nada about the nuances of nba basketball. :)

[Gino]

The Spurs lost their defensive antagonizer and their best big men sans Duncan.

They'll be weak at center, and RJ is going to take shots away from Ginobili and Parker who are more effective offensive players.

I think this trade will make them worse.

[LeBronMVPjames]

bonner is their only pf

why dont they get Kaman or Camby from LA or get Chandler from New orleans or sign free agent rasheed wallace

[gaKNOW!blee]

Obviously this is an upgrade....but why exactly would the Bucks accept this deal?

[redzero]

Goddammit....

[Gervin44Silas13]

Great Trade lets see what other moves we make!!!!!!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

^cap room

[jonnybravo]

That's just inaccurate. I think they are still a way off from LA.

I don't know dude. You guys just patched up a HUGE weakness. Finley was playing huge minutes FFS.

[gaKNOW!blee]

1. Replace Finley - check
2. Replace Bonner - .......

[iggypop123]

stern needs to be smart and make this an opening night matchup

[John Ameachi]

I love this trade

[anonoftheinternets]

great trade, now about one more for a big, and we should be okay.

[lefty]

eh. This reminds me of when spur fan thought Gooden was going to save them.


Now spur fan can't call any other team's player gay.
What about Rudy ?

[dirk4mvp]

What about Rudy ?

:lol

[John Ameachi]

Once the Spurs sign me as center they'll have the gayest team!!!

[JamStone]

Mahmoud Thomad has a nice fade-away.

[Artest93]

If you guys thought this trade was a steal, just wait until Bosh gets dealt

[Chillen]

They made a move to keep Ginobili healthy for the whole season, Jefferson can play some of Manu's minutes say a problem happens with one of his ankles. That problem solved. Only now they have no real center, which hurts. Not sure if Bowen will be bought out or waived, but if he is they can resign him and the trade is bascially Oberto/Thomas for RJ. Great trade, but they have to address the center spot badly.

[cornbread]

Every time the Spurs beat your team, just remind yourself that your team got beat by a gay guy.

[rayray2k8]

Great Trade lets see what other moves we make!!!!!!

They're probably done with trades, but the spurs trades 2 centers to get Jefferson..
Ian is the only real center we have, but he's yet to play a full season.
(No, Bonner does not count as a center.)

[Reeko_Htown]

Nice steal Spurs fans. I'm sure there will be more steals to envy though.

[BlackBellamy]

This trade is so full of promise. Before he was traded away from the Nets I thought he's be a great pick-up, I guess it just took a year or two in the pit of Milwaukee. I was hoping that the first trade we heard of was going to be a larger name to perhaps bring a little confident wind back in our fanbase's sails (trade Manu pffft.)and I personally am not disappointed at all. If you're unhappy with this trade, then what the fuck is it going to take to appease? Great move Spurs FO! Now, shop out Bonner/Udoka for a seven footer. So, do you think that this is a sign of keeping Gooden trading away two back-up big men?

[LeBronMVPjames]

What about Rudy ?

:lmao

[manufan10]

I would love to see a matchup of Lakers vs Spurs on opening night. I don't care on whose homecourt either. Make it happen Stern!

Goddamn, that looks creepy.

[The Gemini Method]

So the NBA offseason has officially begun! Congrats to the Spurs' fans for the trade. This only makes next season even more riveting. Hopefully the Lakers and Spurs will meet up again in the playoffs and bestow us with an exciting 7 game series! Man, is it October already?

[BlackBellamy]

Now spur fan can't call any other team's player gay.

Have the rules changed? Does liking the white women now make you gay? Oh man, Kobe's gonna lead the pride parade this year if that's the case.

[nevitt_&_smrek]

It's a nice move. Will the Bucks just cut those guys so they can just return to the Spurs? If that happens, would it still be considered a trade? What would Popovich's committee have to say...? :)

[dirk4mvp]

Teams are going to run a layup line on the Spurs.

[jack sommerset]

Good trade for the Spews. They really don't have a bench now. I wonder if the Bucks would have taken Mangoo for Jefferson straight up. That would have been a smarter move. I guess we will se if the Spews can run and gun. No D except for Duncan. Who will back up Duncan now?

[Spursfan092120]

great trade, now about one more for a big, and we should be okay.
We need 2 more bigs...we just lost Oberto and Thomas...we have to make up for them...we'll probably resign Gooden, but I'm sure Pop and the FO have a plan to draft a good big, and pick up another in free agency. They might also use their 2 2nd round picks as bait.

[Spursfan092120]

Teams are going to run a layup line on the Spurs.
LOL..this coming from Mavs fan.

[jack sommerset]

LOL..this coming from Mavs fan.

They would know so get ready.

[dirk4mvp]

LOL..this coming from Mavs fan.

Well JJ Barea of all people was running a 1 man line by himself on the way to a 4-1 victory.


btw, do you enjoy getting asshurt over every comment made on this forum.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Damn. Nice trade Spurs. If you guys can get a couple of big men you will be a force to be reckoned with again.

[BlackBellamy]

I didn't elaborate quite enough. There's many variations of how I can say JJ Barea raped your team.

[Spursfan092120]

yes...except for when Bowen was on him, I completely agree..

[florige]

I never really liked Jefferson's game. But it's better than nothing.

[Duncan2177]

Congrats you went from 2nd tier to a 2nd round knockout.

cough cough

[BlackBellamy]

What happened that next series? Did his magic wear off? 5 pts and 2 assists a game? What a consistent stud!

[gaKNOW!blee]

Whoever said Jefferson is gay....Im seriously doubtin it lol

[Basketballgirl25]

this could be a good deal for the Spurs if RJ plays like he did a few years ago, never know if could happen

Sheeeit, I'll take last year's stats too. He had a year last season that looked right on par with his career stats (19ppg 5rpg 2.5apg). What makes you think that Jefferson doesn't automatically have it in him.

[BlackSwordsMan]

lol insecure spurs fans
dallas mavericks 2009 1st round champions!!!
get fucked fat beaners

[BlackBellamy]

I think that's Richard's fiancee (a former Nets dancer) Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols, whom one would assume he shares a house and bed with (jeez I would). Again, liking white girls doesn't make you gay.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Again, liking white girls doesn't make you gay.

No. but liking white boys does. Him and Luke have been ramming each others asses for years.

[kwamay_brown54]

Guys sorry to break the bad news, but I had RJ in my fantasy league during the 08/09 season and this guy is nothing but a ball chucking, selfish, no D pile of flaming feces. The Bucks almost always played better when this turd was off the floor, and whenever he came back in he would just chuck horribly contested shots that looked like hes been practicing with Luke Walton a little too much. This guy is hardly a savior and he will take at least 5 cringe inducing shots per game at the least.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Man, is the L.O.B. like Valium for Lakers fans? You guys get so nice when you win the finals.

:lol unfortunately it's only a small dose though...come October we'll need our fix

[dirk4mvp]

Thanks for making the Spurs look even worse :tu

Yeah fucking right. Pop will send RJ's happy ass right to the bench as the season goes on. I've seen it with every player Pops' coached, including Tim once or twice, who decides they can take stupid shots.

[BlackSwordsMan]

spurs play like shit and their owner tries to make them better in the off season
lol mark cuban

don't worry, this season Hill has earned enough trust and will shut down Terry like Games 4 /5 while Bowen will shut down Barea, like everytime he was on him anyway.

Our D. on him was pathetic that last series. But I'd figure you'd dump your whole team and rebuild around J.J. the way some of you Mav fans gush over the lil' fella.

[z0sa]

lol thinking Hill will ever be more than a barely serviceable scrub.

that barely serviceable scrub made Terry just that every time he was on him ... :lmao Hill made terry look like such a bitch.

longer, stronger, faster, higher vertical, intense d are just a few things Hill >>>> jason "the jet groper" terry


in fact, hill could probably punch nuts better than pussy. Finley didn't even flinch.

[Spurtacus]

Teams are going to run a layup line on the Spurs.

You do realize we're in June, right? Season doesn't start till October. We have time to get bigs. Perhaps you didn't understand the concept of the "offseason".

Spurs have made the first and probably biggest splash of the offseason. We have time to get bigs.

[KSeal]

Good trade for the Spurs. Spurs fans should stop complaining about the Gasol deal cause this one is quite the steal. I think the Spurs should resign Gooden and sign Rasheed Wallace, that would help, they need bigs desperately, and good ones especially if the Lakers keep the Bynum, Gasol, Odom FC.

We'll stop complaining if RJ can help us win another ring.

[KSeal]

You guys will never stop complaining then cause I still don't see the Spurs getting out of the West the next two years, RJ will definitely help you guys win more then one game next post season though.

[holcs50]

LMAO-luke and jeff are def "close", but jeff just gets the gay thing because of his voice. At UA I always saw him out at bars with luke, trust me they ain't gay, they'd leave bars with tons of hot chicks everytime i saw them out.

Jefferson is a pretty chill guy too, played some ball with him in college...the thing he really brings that spurs lacked was the ability to put the ball on the floor, get to the hoop, draw some fouls, and his shot has gotten quite a bit better over the years....great fucking trade. As for losing big men, bwahahaha, you mean one old dude with heart problems who was never very good anyways, and another dude who is older than dirt, slow, but can hit a J now and then...ouch. Mahinmi will fill in one of those spots right away, then there's a ton of options to fill in another in the off-season-whether it be a trade involving bonner/mason, a trade to move up in the draft, the use of the MLE, etc. Not worried about that yet, gotta see what happens. Point is made an impact trade that no doubt improves a spot that spurs were weak as hell at, got a younger-athletic-in their prime player, got rid of 3 old old men.

[Cry Havoc]

lol dirk for kobe

[DPG21920]

Spurs do not need to replace Oberto's 12 MPG, Ian will replace that somewhat. They do need to replace KT.

[Sissiborgo]

That trade changed the world!:fro we are ready for the nex season!:fro

[MaNu4Tres]

Spurs do not need to replace Oberto's 12 MPG, Ian will replace that somewhat. They do need to replace KT.

I'm willing to bet Oberto or Kurt will be back. Maybe both.

Want a cookie for that accomplishment? How many rings did you get for beating the Spurs?

The Mavs beat the Spurs, therefore Mavs fans have the right to talk shit...it's really quite simple.

[Allanon]

Pretty good trade for the Spurs.

[j.dizzle]

This is a pretty good trade but SA definitely needs a legit center if they ever wanna compete with the top 2-3 teams in the league..Duncan is not getting any younger so atleast the Spurs are trying to make some things happen.:toast

[Killakobe81]

Great move he is athletic, good on defense and he is one of those Shane Battier black but not too black guys ...that are beloved in SA ...he will get along well wth Tim. (SEe Bowen, Robinson, Duncan etc.)
Problem is as constructed Spurs are still and out of your top 5 players only Duncan is bigger than Jefferson ..If Manu is healthy there is less minutes for Mason ..if Manu is not Hill is your only decent benh gaurd ....

But if helathy i think this makes you 2nd best in west ...especially if you keep Gooden ...then you can move Duncan to center start Gooden with Tony Jefferson and manu With bonner, MAson and hill as the reserves ...not bad.

The Spurs lost their defensive antagonizer and their best big men sans Duncan.
