According to Sacramento's announcer, we're very close to a deal for a backup PG and either a SF or a big man, I didn't hear the last part, but he did say PG..
He said it's really close and it might affect how Pop plays the players tonight..
???..

I heard it too.
"for a backup PG and backup forward".
Interesting.
Heard this as well, for a backup PG and Forward.
WTH? Trades r never that quiet?
I hope we have some info on this soon... its killing me. I'm on league pass and heard it too.
your right, but if its for two backups, i can see why it would be quiet.Quote:

I bet you it's a cap space deal.
Never mind. They said "forward and pg", not a "sf"
Now I'm glued to the tv hoping they mention something more.
Backup pg makes sense and that makes me think Mason would be involved. Backup forward makes me think Mahinmi and/or Bonner could be on the way out. I doubt they're getting rid of McDyess or Blair.
bonner,mason,jefferson,mydyess for lebron?
Lets watch to see who stays on the bench tonight... I havn't seen blair yet...
I can't really think of a realistic combination that I would like..
I also want to know how Sacto's announcer would know this..
hmm well Lebron can play PG and Forward ;).
Now blair is in...
I said as a guess Foster/Ford, but I cannot see the Spurs taking that contract on. Not to mention Foster has been hurt and TJ is a malcontent that has played terrible and been demoted.Quote:

It will be interesting to see if Bonner/Fin/Mason play. Now Blair is the first big off of the bench.
Jeff Foster is out for the season, so that can't be it..
I don't see Blair on the bench?!
If it is true the back up point guard has to be a 3rd string filler to get the deal to go through. I can't see the Spurs targeting a back up point guard as a priority.
With Hill, Bonner and Blair in the game, good chances they aren't part of the deal.
No Mason yet though.
Oh, I did not know that. Never mind then.Quote:

I'd love to even do a couple of trades. If we can get this trade no reason why we can't push RJ too before the trade deadline.
Yes. This makes sense. If a deal is going down right now... would they wait till after the game to announce?Quote:

Finley is in the game now. Still no Mason.
That would be my guess for the Spurs side as well.Quote:

Manu is getting trigger happy on those 3s
The Kings announcers usually don't talk about stuff unless it's already done. Or it's about to go down. Maybe nothing will happen but they had to hear something for them to make that announcement.Quote:

How about Nocioni and Beno lol.
Maybe the Kings announcers are really onto the deal.
Damn, Finley and Bonner have played. No Mason though. Please don't dump Mason instead of Finley unless we get a big that will help.
I have a feeling that if a trade occurs, it's for financial reasons...
Fuck Mason Jr. is in now. Great.
Mason in now too.
CIA Pop or Sacto announcers got mixed up.
Yup, all the main suspects have played: Bonner/Finley/Mason. So I have no idea about this now.
Roger mason in the game...im not sure i believe the announcer on the "may effect who plays tonight"
I was thinking the same thing lolQuote:

This is no coincidence.
Ramon Sessions and Ryan Gomes from the Wolves. They fit the description.
well Finley is playing, so looks like he won't be traded, I wanted to keep Mason, but doesn't look like he will play tonight
I thought I heard the announcers indicate a "3rd pg and forward". Did anyone else here the same?Quote:

Nocioni and Beno would be horrible IMO..
I'm thinking Sacto's announcer is wrong, but like loveofthegame said, he must have heard it somewhere or he wouldn't have said anything..that's a pretty big statement to make on the air without any proof to back it up..
Way to go Finley
I also agree with Manu4Tres that it looks like the PG would be a filler and not an impact player IMO..
Bassy + Camby would be nice, but I don't know who we could give back to make the 11 mil work..
I don't want this to happen but could it be Chris Duhon and Larry Hughes?
If that's going to be Nocioni and Beno, then we're fucked
A Tony Parker trade like DPG mentioned isn't totally out of the question I suppose. We assume he's not on the block but I can see several teams trying to get him...good PG and relatively affordable.
Hill has done a good job and would need a backup.
Manu what a fucking pass.....
well Mason is playing so it could be anyone now
Bonner and Finley doing their best to lose this game but Manu and Blair spoiling their efforts....
No one has any idea, so it is best to just let it go. Most of us have gone over every logical trading partner (and a ton of illogical partners), and no one knows what the Spurs are up to.
I'm pretty sure I heard "backup" not third.Quote:

wrong thread...
I had heard on ESPN the other night that Pop thinks George Hill can be a 20/10 player. Pop seems high on him.Quote:

It does seem like this is an un-founded rumor though.
Pop wasting no time going with his [email protected] lineup
Bosh would be a no brainer. No way he goes for Amare. Pop says a lot of things he does not mean. Even if Hill could be a 20/10 guy he is not there yet and he is not a good play maker. No way TP goes.
Did Pop really say that?????? Hill really is his favorite player then.Quote:

Sorry, not 20/10, "a 20 point player" forget the 10 part. One of the commentators said Pop said that.Quote:

Hopefully we can somehow trade Pop, Bogans and RJ together..
:lol Just because Hill might be able to score 20 PPG one day does not mean TP is on the table. They have nothing to do with each other.
the more likely scenario is that hill is on his way out and the spurs need a backup to replace him.
Oh I'm not saying TP is on the table. I'm saying it's not THAT far-fetched with how well Hill is playing. Hill seems to be an able replacement.
Most of the rumours all focus on Manu (out of the big 3) due to his contract. But TP being a part of the deal does make some sense as well.
If the Spurs trade up Tony for a star big man like Bosh (a Texas native), that's a pretty great deal considering they'll have Hill. And Tony's locked into his contract so the Raptors would have some longevity.
Far-fetched I agree but it does make some sense.
Hill definitely has the tools to do that, be a 20 point player. I agree.Quote:

Maybe, Dorrell Wright and Carlos Arroyo?
Pop loves Hill, but the Spurs don't think he's a point guard. So I don't think they'd trade their starting point guard unless they we were getting a starting point guard back.Quote:

Hills sucks at the PG. he is a SG and shouldnt even be played at the point, just like roger.Quote:

Anyway, as to the topic of who the forward is...
:hungry: Antawn Jamison :hungry:
[/pipedream]
Maybe it is Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman :lmao
:p:
Jamison would officially turn us into the old Suns IMO..
jamison and crittenton. gonna be a shooting clinic
You would think Pop wouldn't play whoever is going to be traded if this is imminent, as it seems to be. Yet, we pretty much played all our expirings against Sacto tonight. I wouldn't hold my breath on this.
I don't remember who it was but the Lakers were indeed trying to move up in the draft to get George Hill.Quote:
