spurs must trade

[coachmac87]

this is going to be the craziest trade deadline....spurs need to stop being nice to their vets and get a trade going quick...lakers are bothering enough,but then shaq to phx and we kno now dallas is going to make a move...and then we still have to play boston in the finals...but if healthy spurs are good to go...but lets face it we are not with tony foot..need something

[remingtonbo2001]

Ummm. I thought we got Damon.

[coachmac87]

Mid-year changes do not a champion make.

Neither the Lakers nor Suns are winning ANYTHING this year.

Rasheed Wallace to the Pistons 2004I was expecting Drexler; and I could counter with "Defending Champion"


I got nothing (other than .4).:downspin:

[101A]

They go hand in hand.

[samikeyp]

They don't always work and the one thing the Spurs cannot do is trade out of desperation.

Anyone is expendable as long as the deal is beneficial to the success of the team short term and long term.

i dont think u have any clue how much tougher the west has become!!!! first off spurs had a pretty easy run the the championship last year....didnt play dallas and did not play the best team in the east!! spurs are the 5th seed now...when were we ever the 5th seed last year???? this is going to the toughest playoff run for the spurs and maybe the best playoffs in the west period!!! lets say spurs stay in the 5th spot....and as spurs fans think hey were the champs we can win it at any seed!!!!


1st round spurs@jazz

wow the hottest team right now and a team gave spurs trouble....got a great shooter in korver and wow tony better be healthy to go back at williams...kid is playing like an allstar and he got snubbed so he will be playing with a chip on his shoulder all year

2nd round spurs@suns


o this should be a piece of cake right spurs fans :hungry: wow we get the new look suns...with a "reamped shaq" after we battle it out with jazz gotta grind it out with the diesel....he wont be a factor on the offensive end that im worried about...but he will not hesitate to put manu and tony on their rear and dare them to take it to the rack one more time...shaq will become a force on the defensive end

3rd round spurs@dallas or lakers@spurs


great we either match up with our kryptonite in the mavericks...after we take out the top in the west were forced to stay on the road and beat them up as well.....gotta be abotu 90%healthy to beat this team...this team just has our number and they are not afraid of us like the suns are..they have beaten us before....

and the lakers....one word KOBE....if he gets this close to the finals...i really would not bet against this cat...by far the best player in the world...and he is the hungriest player in the league that wants a ring

finals spurs@celtics

great....dont really want to break down this series...but they got KG and he defends well on duncan...hope yall get my point

dallas will likely really pursue kidd so spurs gotta make something happen

[T Park]

actually if Dallas trades for Kidd, they get rid of Diop, Terry, or Devin harris.

I hope they do that, it would make them a worse than before matchup with the Spurs.

Bring that on.

[to21]

Yeah.....that's about the time the go hand in hand.

harris and stackhouse would most likely be it

Oh please no...I'd have to be a Suns fan!

[spursrocksocks]

lets bust a PHX and wait 5 years and get Yao

I wonder when Korver became such a force... If the the Spurs lose to the Jazz it will not be Korver's fault...



2nd round spurs@suns

You gotta be kidding... Shaq a force on the defensive end? He can barely stay out of foul trouble and Tony and Manu are both too quick for him. Nice try, but he is not the solution against the Spurs!



3rd round spurs@dallas or lakers@spurs

If we play the Mavs it's going to be a tough series and I still believe they are the only team capable of beating the Spurs when they are healthy and focused. And please, get off that fucking Kobe bandwagon already, he is a superb player but not the solution to everything. Or don't you remember what happened last year? If they beat us it's because of all the players they have, not because of Kobe.

Spurs vs. Celtics would be tough and surely great to watch.
And if Dallas pursues Kidd, then our kryptonite is going to be nothing more than some ordinary rock.

[dg7md]

Artest, please? Maybe?

[hsxvvd]

You put the jerk in knee-jerk.

[exstatic]

ya and your point??
You weren't missed while you were gone.

[spursmike.]

Mike Miller is our guy

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

Mike Miller is our guy



seeing how everyone seems to want him now, the Grizz will be asking for much more

[rasho8]

You are an idiot.

We are 2 game outs oif the top spot. 1 game out of second place. "OH NOES THE SKY IS FALLING!!! WE MUST TRADE BECAUSE WE ARE 5TH SEED!!!"


The conference is very bunched up. If Phx, Dallas or New Orleans drop 2 games they are in the 5th seed.

Wow.. we better trade fast!!!
2 games behind, I dont know how we will EVER catch up.

[remingtonbo2001]

You put the jerk in knee-jerk.

Beef Jerky?

[m33p0]

mike miller? if there's gonna be any changes that's needed, its a replacement for elson that can keep his own on defense and help duncan inside. whoever the spurs bring in won't be as bad as elson already is making this the least to screw the team up but has the potential to raise the spurs a notch or two if ever that person works out for the team.

[mrose31]

5th seed does not matter if you have a better record than the 4th seed you still have homecourt. Still there is only like a 5 game difference between the top 10 teams in West so there will be lots of movement in seedings. No matter what this year is going to be tough to win. I don't think spurs will make a trade unless it only involves Barry and or Elson.

[remingtonbo2001]

I don't think spurs will make a trade unless it only involves Barry and or Elson.

Agreed. I actually think the Spurs are going to stand pat after getting a significant contribution from Damon.

[backtothebeat001]

Yeah if the Spurs make a trade it will have to be for a big man in my opinion. Forwards and centers are becoming the dominant force again in the West. If we cant get a good big man, then at least try for a small forward who can play power forward.

[nfg3]

Trade only if it improves the team. Never do so simply because others have made one. We are in good position and starting to gel. Bowen and Horry are starting to hit their shots. When TP and Barry return then Pop can really cfocus on the rotation needed for the playoffs. Wanting a trade is one thing but actually making a good one beneficial for us is another.

The questions are: Who is available, will that player fit into our system, what do we give up for him and how is that going to effect our chances in the playoffs? (Probably more gut that's what I came up with at this moment)

[spursfan09]

chemisrty=13-14 last 27 games

Tim, Tony and Manu: all injured at one point or another...

[easjer]

Ok, what trade?

Knee-jerk, over the top desparation reactions are fruitless and get you nowhere. Trade if there is a player on the table who has legitimate shot at making your team as a whole better.

But don't whine otherwise because other teams have made trades. That's just stupid.

Don't forget that whoever comes in has to learn a difficult system, be able to contribute within that system, and gel with existing players. That is no small order, when you have people in place doing well. And chemistry and system are two issues that remain to be seen in regards to the 'blockbuster' trades that have already taken place.

The issues that plagued the Spurs were/are health, interest and intensity. Nothing that can't be fixed, and nothing that is likely to be fixed via trading block.

[Oh, Gee!!]

trade manu

Trade the fans that want a trade because they want one.
