I'm not advocating that the Spurs trade him, just simply pointing out that the Spurs have more young talent than Ducks was giving credit for.Quote:

Jackie Butler does nothing in this league......ever. Mark it.
Duhon might be a good pickup but the Spurs don't have what it would take to get him.
I think the Spurs should try to get Kobe Bryant for Beno, Barry, a second-round draft pick, and a dozen tamales. Sounds fair to me. :elephantQuote:

Party may be over for Duhon
Whether he stays or goes, big decisions are just starting for title-seeking Bulls

Alot of ink has been spilled lately on the possibility of the Bulls trading guard Chris Duhon. So much that if a deal gets done, one might well expect a nationally televised ''C-Du Later'' farewell ceremony at the United Center, replete with Larry King, who was a comical sideshow at Michael Jordan's first retirement party.
Don't get me wrong. I like the guy, but as one Bulls insider said, ''When wasn't Duhon going to be shopped this summer?''
Duhon's ''disappointment'' in being benched by coach Scott Skiles for Game 3 of the conference semifinals against the Detroit Pistons -- after he missed a film session the same week -- matches the disappointment of team officials in Duhon's penchant for partying over the years.
Skiles is said to be as tired of that as Duhon apparently was when he ''overslept'' and missed a practice on New Year's Eve weekend. If that's news to Duhon, it makes two wake-up calls he has missed.
It hasn't gone unnoticed that the three-year veteran is as recognizable at hot spots such as Ontourage and Rockit Bar as he is at the Berto Center, or that his name is as much a staple of bold-type gossip columns as it is the sports section.
That doesn't make Duhon a bad player or bad guy. In fact, the Stand Tall Foundation he founded to help rebuild his hurricane-ravaged hometown of Slidell, La., is an exceptional example of charity work.
In case no one has mentioned this yet...Duhon sucks, ass.
No thead about Duhon should ever go two pages...
Why are the Spurs going to give up Butler for Duhon again? The Spurs still have Yao in their conference to contend with, along with Dampier and then there is the distinct possibility that Shaq sacks up for one last run next season. This is still a big man's league. Look at the teams that have won the last 10 titles.
Obviously so. The guy is an decent backup. But he has alcohol issues and is hardly what I'd call a clutch performer.Quote:

Butler>Duhon

I guess it's the off-season, so I should get used to rookie posters thinking that we can trade our 12th and 13th man on the bench for other teams' rotation players.
:bang
What's with the low standards? Why not just offer Beno, Barry, and Butler to Chicago for Hinrich? :rolleyes
Backup PG is a secondary concern for this summer, behind youth at the swing position and someone to guard Dirk next year (can't count on Golden State to do the dirty work for us every year).
"Butler not being a young talent"
He's not talent, yet, only potential. We should know something first week of October by seeing his weight. He got his ring, now can he actually do more than burn salary? Can he help the Spurs get through the closing window to their next big goal, a repeat?
I think any trade with Chicago is now moot if what ESPN said about 'the artist formerly known as 8' is true.
Kobe in the EC has a nice ring to it.
only if you want to see every bulls-heat game played in prime time and the rest of the year consumed by eastern conference espn highlights of lebron, kobe, and wade.Quote:

I tend to agree. I bet Kobe is in the finals next year too. Doesn't mean he'll win. But with how weak the east is he could be taking the Milwaukee Bucks to the finals.Quote:
