I don't know why people keep repeating this. Nazr is gone next summer- whether Barry or Rasho are traded or not.

I meant a problem in regards to the rotation or the appearance of a glaring need in the Spurs lineup.

Nazr is gone next summer because Oberto can do his job at one-third the price.

pro-barry traders are stupid

As somebody said, you make no sense.

Count me among those that are ready to see Barry traded...Not so much because I don't like his game...just because I am sick of hearing those that don't like his game bitch about him...

Trading him will give them an excellent chance to shut the fuck up, once and for all, and for that reason alone I am for trading him.

The Spurs now have plenty of shot chuckers that have no qualms about hogging the ball or thinking they are superstars as they chuck up a bunch of junk...

Spurs fans consider this stupid when it's Antoine Walker doing it...but the abesence of that type of game by a player on this team draws nothing but endless whining derision...I think they call it a lack of sac...

God save me from anther season of this....

This type of, dumbfuck, game, appeals to a, sadly, large and vocal, dumbass segment of Spursfandom that don't have a true enough IQ for the game, collectively, to fill a gnat's jock strap,...it is the stupid takes of these dumbasses that severely hinder my enjoyment of this board...


So in assessing the situation...


We got plenty of shot chuckers now, one of them just happens to be a very clutch one who also has a similar skill set to Barry, in NVE...so for that reason I am counting the seconds till the trade happens, we've really got nothing to lose, that NVE can't give us, except a player who wanted to be her and helped the team win a title last season. If Finley turns out to be a loser, as I suspect he is, NVE should still be able to offset his suck, and at least the board dumbasses will be criticizing a player I really don't like...

So there's really nothing to lose by trading Barry,...do it...do it now. Please god let it happen...not another season of this shit.

PS...anyone that is expecting Barry to average 13 PPG off the bench is a dumbass of rare caliber...

Tell you what...give me a list of the players that have done that in the history of the franchise.

NVE has put the "Barry can see minutes at point" argument to bed. At this point, Barry is superfluous. Finley is the backup swing and NVE is the vet ballhandler to go to when Udrih can't handle the pressure, lest we forget Saint Manu.

Heres what I don't get, sure the Spurs have traditionally had a 3 man rotation on the wings but when you have as much quality as we do I think there is plenty of merit to changing that, anf you can do it with no real negatives.

SG: Manu 33 Brent 15
SF Bowen 28 Finley 20

^ Now what is the problem with something like that. All players get adequate minutes to contribute, if Brent doesn't then yuo can bench him likewise Finley. This also keeps everyone fresh and ready for the playoffs and allows Pop to cater for matchups. Hell you might even cut Bowens minutes a little less than that.

With the quality of these players that is an ideal situation and taking into consideration there age it makes even more sense. Nick still gets his minutes at PG, Beno can play spot minutes at the 1+2...

All good if you ask me.

A trade Rasho thread would make more sense. I think Barry will be useful in the playoffs especially if there are injuries (knock on wood)

well thats a whole other thread isn't it and to be truthful I am happy enough to wait for a good deal to come around for him. We dont need anything desperately so IMO theres no rush.

Nazr is gone next summer because if the Spurs can't get rid of Rasho, no way they will sign the contract Nazr will probably want. The only way to get rid of him is if he started playing really well, and if he became good enough to trade w/out having to give someone else, why trade him. We already burned Isiah once so he's out and no other GM would do something that stupid.

But how long can you wait for him? Beno looks more solid this year then last year. Manu can play backup point if need be. But the spurs have nve to. Barry needs to step up soon or get traded.

:lol

where were you last night, Ducks?

Barry is a great passer, a great ball handler, great shooter, great free-throw shooter, can run the point, and he's a class act. He's fine where he is.

I love this. ST.com is getting in shape for the regular season, too. All the regulars are getting their grooves back.

Hmmm....Brent looked good last night...did you watch the game?

Don't be so fast to drop the hammer on Barry...remember that guy named Horry that pressed to hard his 1st year in a Spurs uniform? He seemed to have a decent 2nd year didn't he?

I expect more from Brent this year because he has his ring, understands the team better, and can just go out and play without thinking as much as he did last year.

i said your name so youve got to answer this post

can we have a trade barry/rasho forum?

so what if bowen or manu gets injured for a large part of the season? finley moves to the starting lineup, who'll be our backup swingman, beno? nve? damn you're dense.

No, but I'm thinking of making a trash forum. Where I can move ridiculous threads but people can still post in them -- I just won't have to look at them.

It would just be easier to make a "Reasonable Threads" forum.

So I take it no one else sees 4 swingman as a possibility :/

Screw you all :lol

Im with you xcoriate, im all for a 3 swing lineup... that extra (well, biggest) 3 point threat, and passing threat, and all the other intangiables that Barry brings is too good to pass up. Go on Pop, you know you want to :)
