I have been contending lately that the Spurs should consider trading for Marion or even Kirilenko. I know that Kirilenko is struggling right now with the Jazz but I think that he would fit well in the defensive scheme with San Antonio and the front line of Duncan/Bowen/Kirilenko would be downright nasty. Does anyone see a major downside to that possibility? Or am I just wishful thinking right now?
beno for AK47...or beno for the matrix
Duncan for Marion :toast
Is it bad to discuss trades before the playoffs are over?
I suggest you familiarize yourself with the salary pages on hoopshype.com where each team's salary figures are itemized per player. They help me immensely.
yeah, i think it is a little premature, but its not like we are getting any younger. I guess the older a team gets, the more preparation for the upcoming season is undertaken.
But right now, old is working. The Spurs currently have reached the balance, with Parker providing the youth and guys like Finley and Horry providing the age. They need to get younger, yes, but very gradually. If you notice the Spurs getting younger, then they did so much to fast.Quote:

I hear Camby's on the trade block Barry and someone else would be a wonderful trade
Barry and Beno for Camby.....
oh wait, spurs FO will take it back because these two can handle the ball well..gosh!
I say we trade all of our black players for white ones so we'll never get fouls called on our team, we'll easily beat the Bulls 72-10 record..
I say we trade Beno and the Coyote for LeBron James.
Uhm. Eva Longoria for Jessica Alba, anyone? :p:
Dude, who the hell is gonna be our mascot then?Quote:

Working in Makati right now. Graveyard. Hehe.
^ah ok..im thinking if the spurs will reach the finals...i'll fly from here(NJ) to Texas to watch the game eventhough I have no relatives/friends to pick me up in the airport...
I know people here in spurstalk are so hospitable and will not let a spurs fan from other country suffer in San Antonio...lol
Trading for big-time players with big-time salaries usually means giving up a big-time player, young player with big-time potential, or lottery-type draft picks....
The Spurs aren't trading Duncan, Parker, or Ginobili....
The only player with "potential" is Jackie Butler, but he doesn't have "Andrew Bynum" trade value....
And the Spurs are picking 28 in the upcoming draft....
Sorry, but entertaining the idea that the Spurs could get a high-level player with high-level salary, such as Kirilenko or Marion is probably a waste of time.
Better to focus on the '07 draft prospects, the talent under the Spurs' umbrella (Scola & Mahinmi), and players with more reasonable trade value.
Also the MLE could be used to sign a FA, for someone like Pietrus for example. The MLE should be close to $6 mil this year so its possible the Spurs split it up & try to sign 2 players, maybe one for $4 mil & one for $2 mil or maybe 2 players making about $3 mil each.
But as far as getting someone like Marion or AK47, I can tell you that will not happen. Salaries too big & the Spurs dont have the right combo of talent & expiring contracts teams would want. If you want to hope for something, hope that we can somehow sign Nocioni in a S&T.
But that would make the Suns boring right?Quote:

Duncan is not that boring. :toastQuote:

If we're going to try and get a player out of LA, lets try something a lot smaller. Try Singleton (LAC) for Beno and pick #58... Singleton might be very useful for us and it would get Beno off our roster.Quote:

Pretty solid... and unlikely. I think those are all realistic trades though.
I wish for Acie Law, but it's very doubtful.
Speaking of AK47, it looks like the Rockets received his evite to the block party. He's having a helluva game.
I nwas wondering how long it would take for someone to actually explain to the OP why he's talking a load of horseshit (no offence, but the NBA isn't Wonderland)... post #24, good effort all! :lolQuote:
