He then turned around and took a similar approach in the first round of the 2010 NBA draft by stocking up on SFs (Wesley Johnson, Luke Babbitt, Trevor Booker).

Granted, he dealt away several of these players in various deals, but it's still a very unorthodox and even assinine way of drafting. The point being is that this guy is liable to do anything - like trade big for small. In fact, I could see him wanting a 1st round pick in any possible future trade scenario.

The Spurs would easily throw a couple of 1st round picks if a similar deal is on the table, but even if Khan is that stupid, there must be someone above him with half a brain to stop him.

a Love trade could and must bring back at least a top 3 pick, or a top 3 talent.
even Kahn knows that.

I would trade Blair, Splitter, and as many first round picks as minny wants for Love

Tony Parker - Chris Quinn
Manu Ginobili - Gary Neal
Richard Jefferson - James Anderson
Tim Duncan - Antonio McDyess - Matt Bonner
Kevin Love

Then you'd have to sign a big, because it'd only give us four. And we'd have to sign 1-2 guards depending on whether you think Chris Quinn is capable of a backup role or not. We're better off in this situation sticking with what we've got. Take away our best perimeter defender and replace him with Chris Quinn and your team's D is going to get a lot worse. Kevin Love doesn't defend either, but then again neither does Blair.

lol will not happen.

But since he entered the NBA I always wanted Love to be a Spur, that would be awesome :king

Funny thread on at least 2 counts.

1. 5 pages based on a fantasy trade started on bleacher report and picked up on local talk radio.

2. So many posters that would hesitate or not make the trade at all.

damn, that was started by Bleacherreport? a trade idea on ST started by one of our under 20 posts members usually has more legs.

and yes, always again surprised about the potential of this board to overrate the value of Spurs players and underrate all others.
just waiting on the poster who claims he would only do it, if the Wolves trow in Rubio.
(and consequently Kill_Bill_forever to jump in and explain to us that even that trade he wouldn't do, b/c Rubio is more overrated than Splitter)

Funny thread. We all know that mid-season trades are not the way of the Spurs (just look at the "success" the Mavs had doing this).

We are 33-6 ... I want them to win it with this group of players!

Spurs fans are a sentimental bunch...which makes them overvalue certain players. Most of us know that if Minny actually contacted the Spurs with this it would be done in a heartbeat.

George is our Kobe-stopper. Dude ain't afraid of the fading star that is Kobe da Brat. I'd LOVE to have K-Love on Spurs Roster, but NOT at the expense of George Hill. NU-UH!!

bullshit.

no way. Kevin Love?

dream on

Has this trade happened yet?

Huge rumor if there ever was one!
IMHO giving up our best perimeter defender would be a grave risk.
Also giving up Tiago before he is even integrated into the system would be a mistake as I think he will prove to eventually be a better player than Love in the long run.
But it's just a rumor and a far-fetched one at that.

lol at people who wouldn't be willing to give up Hill for Love...

mmmm Tiago would become a player at the same level of Kevin Love overtime. Me not likes

:lmao

what??? (i hope you are sarcastic)

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/5...e-of-minnesota

that's where this all comes from. a (bad bad) article about ten places where the author thinks Love would fit. including 10 trade scenarios. some are even more ridiculous than the "Spurs trade". seems as if the author doesn't even have basic knowledge about trade rules. however, considering how many posters wouldn't give up Hill for Love, he might still find his peers.

I like Tiago as much as the next guy and think he'll be a fine player for us one day, but he's never going to be someone who can put up 21 & 15 on a nightly basis while shooting 40+% from 3pt.

This! Anyone who thinks otherwise is completely delusional.

True :lol

It would leave us with a 10 man roster. I'm cool with that... not sure how the NBA would feel about it.

This thread would make sense if you replaced "Spurs" with "Lakers"
