Udonis Haslem

[td4mvp21]

:wow The Spurs need this guy bad, he does the dirty work, actually dunks, rebounds, hustles, and plays physical. He obviously can't shut Dirk down, but he can at least make it a little harder. 22 and 11 is better than whatever the hell Dirk got against us. Haslem is also very effective in a zone defense. I know we don't have the assets to get him, at least its a good pipe dream though.

[Solid D]

No lie. The Spurs had him on their summer league team but he wanted to sign in his hometown.

[dg7md]

Obviously, this guy is a real pro. He was a huge factor in that finals turn around With Wade, Payton, and Zo.

:lol

I was disappointed to see him sign with the Heat. Back in 2003, Spurs were on ESPN with coverage a couple of times of the Boston League. Haslem looked great. He was a little bigger than Malik but he had a similar style.

I remember when we had him on our summer league team. I'm not sure the Spurs ever made him an offer though. I remember that he caught my eye because he was putting up some good rebounding numbers.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

I would rather have David Lee.

What about this deal?

David Lee plus Jamal Crawford for Manu.

Or David Lee plus Jamal Crawford for Beno and Barry.

I like David Lee and while Crawford has a big contract and has questionable shot selection, both are energy guys. Manu also has a pretty big contract and would be difficult to move later. Lee is a grinder and can rebound and score some. Crawford and put up 20 a night and can handle the ball as well. Crawford is also pretty clutch and is 3 years younger than Manu. Lee can also be our long 3.

Dont know if the Knicks would do the second deal cause I think Manu would be a more enticing bait.

Not sure if the numbers work out but just my random thoughts.

[T Park]

Jamal Crawford and David Lee for Manu?


Id have to think pretty hard on that one.

The Spurs were going to sign Haslem, but they wanted him to wait because that was another caproom offseason. Haslem then played for the Heat summer league team and they signed him after just a game or two. The Spurs targeted him during the year when they saw him playing overseas in Italy the year before, IIRC.

Like Josh Howard, Haslem was another casualty of the Jason Kidd sweepstakes.

That doesn't sound bad at all but I don't know if it makes sense for New York, oh wait their GM is Isaiah Thomas let's make it happen :lol

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

We already traded our version of Kenny Thomas to the Knicks a few years ago.

Besides, I've noticed that since KT has found his way into Musselman's doghouse that the Kings can't win crap. You guys need at least one person on your roster who can grab a rebound.

Maybe you can trade him for Chris Webber.

Dude Scola is way better and cheaper player.we don´t need Haslem.We need to stop fullin around and bring down Scola.

Jamal Crawford and David Lee for Manu?

I don't think Isiah is that stupid.

[SequSpur]

Why is this topic even here? Dude is from Miami and is playing there and ain't going anywhere.

[ArgSpursFan]

I don't think Isiah is that stupid.

I hope the spurs are not that stupid,not Isiah.he´d do it in a heart beat.

Jamal Crawford, the main reason Francis is being run out of town...and David Lee, the young promising big...for Manu? Straight up?

I don't know if the Spurs would even do the deal. But if they did, the Knicks would be stupid. Manu isn't a guy you put on a shitty team and he instantly turns your team into a contender. He's a nice piece on a solid team. Like he was in Argentina. Like he is on the Spurs. Knicks wouldn't improve much, and would be sacrificing there future for it.

I see that some spurs fans are so memoryless,would let go a guy who always showes up at clutch time on a game 6 or 7 in playoffs or even the NBA finals for a couple of promesses.

Thanks god you just a Spurs fan

Remind me again where I said I would do the deal?

My only comment on this matter is that if it comes down to two players...TP or Manu, and we HAVE to chose one I would rather do Manu. If it were up to me I would probably do neither.

J'Oneal has miles on him, much like KG. If I'm giving up one of our centerpieces, I would rather get someone younger.

[td4mvp21]

Dude Scola is way better and cheaper player.we don´t need Haslem.We need to stop fullin around and bring down Scola.

Um no, Haslem has proven himself in the NBA. Scola has not. I'll take Haslem, THANKS.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

How is Scola cheaper then Haslem?

I don't have the numbers, but I'm pretty sure the buyout plus whatever salary he was demanding is more then what Haslem is making.

[remingtonbo2001]

Why doesn't anyone include SCOLA in their trade purposals....Hello? Isn't SCOLA our biggest piece of bait. REALLY? The guy isn't even playing for us, yet he is drawing attention by his well-rounded play in EUROPE.

Big buyout figure...accompanied with teams hesistance to bring in unproven NBA players (probably) would be my guess. It's not like the Spurs are just keeping him overseas for shits and giggles.

[johnpaulwall21]

Scola aint worth that much cause he aint exactly dominating the europe league.

[remingtonbo2001]

I know, besides the buyout, I can't imagine why he isn't in this league, let alone in a Spurs uniform. There just seems to be a few underlying issues that don't seem to match up? I guess that's when trade speculation comes about.

[remingtonbo2001]

In all seriousness, which player would you rather aquire; Luis Scola, or Malik Rose? Or maybe, Kwami Brown? How about Jamal Maglorie? I'm sure there a plenty teams eyeing SCOLA. The only two conflicts of interest would be either the buyout, or the Spurs' PRICETAG? I wonder what type of player the Spurs would want in return for SCOLA. What are the expectations of SCOLA if he is indeed brought in?

That's like saying what's wrong with Rasheed Wallaces character...besides the technical fouls.

The buyout figure is a major reason he's not in the league. The Spurs don't want to pay it, and neither does any other team obviously or he'd probably be traded by now.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Out of those, just Magloire.

Keep him on the bench as a 12th man. Bring him in to throw a few elbows when needed. I would take Scola at the right price, but that seems like its never going to happen. Male Rose...eh. He was productive in our system once upon a time. It wasn't that great the first time around, don't see why we would want to go down that road again. Great person, average player. And...Kwame Brown? Let's just pretend you didn't just ask that.

[johnpaulwall21]

Well they need to decide what to do with him cause his stock is dropping every year.

[urunobili]

i think this would be the best possible answer to the west moves... Elson/Bonner for him would be awesome... he is one of the best Dirk defenders and would match up extraordinarily well against Gasol too...

[Phenomanul]

Why would Riley give up his only consistent player?

[Kori Ellis]

Why did you bump a year old thread about Haslem, when there is another Haslem thread from the last day or so?

[MoSpur]

Because he may want more money in the off-season to sign big time players.

sorry i just did a search using "Haslem" for all thread titles and i thought this one was the one to use... didn;t check how old it was until it was too late... never meant to create more mess.. sorry :depressed

Then you would have seen that there is an idea that the Heat might want expiring contracts to have more $$$ to spend on key free agents.
