Brevin Knight on the block?

[ducks]

With PG Jeff McInnis offering quality minutes in support of Raymond Felton, the time finally could be at hand for the Bobcats to part with Brevin Knight. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3186the Pistons have expressed interest. . . .
if pistons get him atkins can be a spur :smokin

[ducks]

It appears Orlando is doing more than just showcasing Travis Diener, who is becoming the backup to PG Jameer Nelson. . . .

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

We have nothing to offer anyone.

Brevin Knight when healthy can get you double digit assist numbers, he's a more of a distributor PG in contrast to Tony. I think he'd make a good fit because the Spurs will have skills in the PG area on the both sides of the spectrum.

[SequSpur]

Ducks, you're dumb.

[ducks]

and you are short

[midgetonadonkey]

Who is he going to distribute the ball to? Our "shooters"?

[ducks]

pop is telling tp to now instead of shooting
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who has the final say on his team's personnel decisions, recently told his players there won't be a trade involving his rotation before the February 22 deadline. With such a glaring need for athleticism in San Antonio's effort to keep up with the Suns and Mavericks in the West, it is difficult to believe the Spurs would bypass an opportunity to upgrade. . . .

Popovich is attempting to reduce PG Tony Parker's shot attempts, a change that does not sit well with Parker. His reluctance to pass to the likes of SF Bruce Bowen (recently missed 15 of 18 3s) or SG Michael Finley (missed 26 of 34) appears justifiable. . . .

I guess if he we ever do have to play small ball, it would include lots of fast breaks. Quick thinking PG's with good court perception usually delight in it and can find trailers and people spreading the lanes to rack up some assists, but as Duck mentioned above me in that article from January 28, according to Pop we will not see any trades and this is the final Spurs roster for 06-07.

Exaggerated.

Pop says he doesn't want him to reduce his attempts, just try to get those guys more involved.

[Kori Ellis]

Brevin Knight would be good here but the Bobcats can probably get something more than the Spurs can/would offer.

well the pistons and spurs are the only playoff team that needs a backup point guard
atkins and him are on the block

knight I think would let tp play the 2 some...................

[SequSpur]

Atkins. Brevin Knight blows.

[ducks]

beno blows more..............

[Kori Ellis]

...Brevin Knight blows.

What the hell? He's averaged over 7 assists for the last 3 years.

[SequSpur]

What the hell? He's averaged over 7 assists for the last 3 years.

umm... so in Spurs terminology that would be 2-3.

Guards don't get assists when they give up the ball to Oberto up top and then funneled to Bowen for a crossover dribble.

The Spurs need points from their guard. If Beno could hit a wide open 12 footer, we wouldn't be concerned.

Pop says Beno is the best passer on the team, but we still want him to make fries.

Who needs assists?

Okay Shorty - he averages 12 points per game. That's better than Beno & Company.

He is also injured.

He is also injured.

Injured Brevin Knight > Beno

[AFBlue]

Brevin Knight would be good here but the Bobcats can probably get something more than the Spurs can/would offer.

Agreed. Flip Murray, Dale Davis, and Nazr Mohammad are better players than the ones the Spurs could offer. About the only thing the Spurs could offer would be prospects (Beno, Butler, rights to Mahinmi/Scola) and I don't know if those would be enough for Charlotte to bite.

[dbestpro]

We have nothing to offer anyone.
An expiring contract and or Euro player can always show value of which we have several.

[MoSpur]

I would like Knight or Atkins over Beno. I think Beno has had more than enough time to improve. He hasn't and him and the Spurs need to part ways.

[E20]

Also, Brevin Knight could probably better iniate the offense unlike Vaughn and IMO is a better overall PG than Beno. He looks bright, so he might be able to pick up the Spurs philosphy on D without any problems.

[BgT]

Knight could be a great addition. But Spurs don't have anything to offer.

[Phenomanul]

Isn't Brevin Knight a steals machine as well?

Defensively Knight is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beno

[yavozerb]

If knight is healthy enough to play in 2nd half of season:
Beno+Williams for Knight +Harrington

[mountainballer]

according to Pop we will not see any trades and this is the final Spurs roster for 06-07.

yes, Pop is well known to always announce upcomming trades and well known to never ever blow out some smoke screens.:rolleyes

and this is what he exactly said:



http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/basketball/nba/spurs/stories/MYSA012707.06C.BKNspurs.notebook.21404a0.html
Popovich did leave himself some wiggle room, but not much.

"We might throw a peripheral player for a (draft pick) or trade a peripheral player for a peripheral player, but we're not going to trade our top 10, 11, 12 guys," Popovich said. "Nothing of significance. In other words, the top six, seven, eight, nine players aren't going anywhere. That's what I mean by no trade."


so, if you take him at his word, this would mean: when he talks about the top 12, it still leaves Williams, Butler, White + picks and rights for a possible package.
if I remember right, the most trade proposals on this board were based on packages with the expiring contract of Williams for the numbers and sweeteners like picks and rights (Scola, Mahinmi) for the talent value.

and if you take the next sentence, when Pop is talking about the top 9 players aren't going anywhere, it would mean that also Bonner, Beno and Vaughn could be part of a trade.
does this mean that we won't see any trades? not at all.
we all know, that Spurs can't get premium players with their trade assets. but it is definitly possible to get a good role player from a rebuilding team, if you can offer expiring contracts and some picks (or rights)

and btw:
Dumars traded Chucky Atkins, Lindsey Hunter, a first-round pick and cash to Boston and Bob Sura with Zeljko Rebraca to Atlanta for Mike James from Boston and Rasheed Wallace from Atlanta.

I would think the package of Atkins, Hunter, Sura and Rebraca (+ the pick, which was a late first rounder) wasn't more attractive than what the Spurs could assemble right now and it landed them an all-star in Wallace + a quality player in James. (and resulted in the title in 2004)

or to use the Pop's words: the Pistons traded their no. 7, 8, 9, and 10 player for Wallace + James.

yes, I know that this trade was a genious move you don't see every week and that it also takes a lot of luck to be just in the right place at the right time, but it proves that a smart management can trade some bench warmers for quality players.

[BgT]

Spurs fans just don't realize that a deal is supposed to work for ALL teams.

[RC's Boss]

Injured Brevin Knight > Beno
:lmao

[dg7md]

Spurs will get even older. :lol

[timvp]

I'd rather have a scoring point guard like Atkins than a passing point guard like Knight. Knight is like a Jacque Vaughn who has gotten to play a lot of minutes on an expansion team. Even Jason Hart put up good numbers on Charlotte ... and Hart may be the second worst PG in the league.

[RC's Boss]

Yeah, our bench sucks so much at least he does score.
