I wanted to make a case for a huge change that could happen this offseason if the Spurs want to pursue it and of course it really depends if Bosh and Lebron actually hold their team hostage indicating that they will leave to another team and not be coming back. This will force those teams to look for sign and trades. With Spurs sporting a 27 year old PG that shoots near 50% he would be an enticing trade option for those teams without further ado
Tony Parker + Richard Jefferson for Bosh + Turkoglu
Why would Toronto? Salaries will probably match up they definitely do not want Turk after his performance this season and he sure doesn’t want to be there. This allows them to get something for Bosh and they can free up salary investment by letting Jefferson go after his current contract.
Why would San Antonio? Getting Bosh would be like adding Duncan to team up with Robinson it could lead to another series of championships for San Antonio. Turkoglu contract might be too hard to swallow though especially after signing an aging Ginobili to a big contract. If it’s accepted I still think they do it though it’s just too hard to get a good big man.
Why would Bosh? First of all salary he can earn an extra year and more per year by accepting a sign and trade. Playing next to Duncan would also be a plus they would make a formidable post presence. I don’t think he would stop this trade.
Chance of occurring: If Bosh holds them hostage then I think this could have a real good chance of occurring this has got to be one of the best packages out there giving young talent and clearing some salary off the books. Though I could definitely see negotiations taking quite a while with Toronto trying to get either the 20th pick and/or Blair added to pot.
Tony Parker + Richard Jefferson+ George Hill+20th pick for Lebron+Gibson
Why would Cleveland? If Ferry gets nothing out of losing Lebron he will probably never work again. He also has ties to SA, and is getting good young talent in return. As well as being able to put a team on the floor that would probably make the playoffs in the east with Parker at the helm.
Why would San Antonio? Duh…
Why would Lebron? He wouldn’t unless this was the last choice and he wanted max salary. Unfortunately, he would be the one to put the stops to this trade from everything that’s been said about Lebron if he leaves it will be for a big market such as New York, Chicago, or Miami.
Chance of occurring: Very Slim, Cleveland would probably demand more from the Spurs for Lebron but anything more and it decreases his chances of coming to the Spurs since he does want to WIN and does not want to show up to a team caplocked and depleted of talent. Being a small market team on top of that pretty much makes this a longshot.
