That's why you're a Mav fan and we are Spurs fan. We've won 4 Championships under Timmy. :toastQuote:

Obviously Duncan has been the man and he's delivered for you. So you all feel sentimental and loyal. No problem with that. But come on ...
Would you be mad if you won 2 or 3 more Titles in the next 5 years?Quote:

If i were a NBA GM there are only 2 players in the entire NBA that i would not trade for Dwight Howard in this order: LeBron, Kobe.
I would make this trade. Duncan is still the better player, but Howard has many productive years ahead of him. (He still needs to learn some damn post moves, though.)
I would also trade Parker for CP3 . . . Manu for Kobe . . . RJ for LeBron . . .
Whilst we're on the crack pipe how about a Fin/Bonner for Kobe/Gasol trade?
Beno, Barry and the rights to Scola is as far as I'm willing to go for Howard.
It's called loyalty. Then again, I'm not sure if most Dallas fans really understand that, seeing as how you all booed Finley.Quote:

No. Never. You stupid?
Hey, we appreciate the good years Finley gave us. But if he's playing for the bad guys? You're damn skippy we're gonna boo him.Quote:

I mean, Howard is such a beast though...it would be hard not to pull the trigger on the deal IMO...
You Maverick Fans will never understand. Even though Dwight has more upside and is way younger, I would never trade Tim for anyone. After all he has brought us, he deserves to retire a Spur.
[QUOTE=loveforthegame;3540998]No way we trade Duncan but we could send them Finley and Bonner. If they play hardball we can throw in Mason too.[/QUO haha
Of course if we had no affiliation to the Spurs franchise, it would be easy to say, oh wow, Howard has many good years ahead of him and is a dominant defensive force. Who knows how long Duncan can still play, this trade would be good.
But first of all, there is the loyalty. As someone that's been a Spur his whole career, it would be slighting Tim Duncan, one of the greatest Power Forwards of all time, to trade him. Second of all, we just built a team around Duncan that has a shot to win it, I think everyone would prefer to see how it plays out next year. Finally, this hypothetical is about as likely to happen as trading Bonner for Pau Gasol, so of course your post is being treated lightly with homerism.
I wouldnt trade Tims used stinking sneakers for that dope addict Howard.
Yes, I would be mad. It's not Spurs basketball to act like the Lakers and dump your respected talent for whatever was hot at the moment. We have yet to see if Dwight will be as consistent as Duncan was over the years.
That was such a dumb question. That's like asking us if we'd have gotten mad if we traded David Robinson in his final season for then Yao Ming or Amare Stoudemire. We'd be freaking furious. Spurs basketball is about family and respect, and that would be an insulting move.

Hmmm...maybe we should start another thread?? :flag:Quote:

Duncan does deserve to retire as a Spur so you bring him back out of retirement for a ten day constract like they did with Johnny Moore. (althought that was really just to give him the required time to make him eligible for the NBA retirement plan.)
I'll fucking trade Ducks.
Would the fans approve? Yes
Would the Spurs FO do it? Yes
Would Orlando be stupid enough to do it?? No...
See the "new" mavs in the playoffs.. If they get there. :D
No way. If any player is a keeper, it's Duncan.
