They have the MLE, but there isn't anyone that I would say is worth it, nor anyone that would accept it.

Its a catch 22.

I suppose, if Manu does continue to detoriate like he has this playoffs, that will take care of itself since we will be the one's hoping our lottery ball hits...

Then you are fucked. But I think it's worth the risk. In a couple of years you have a busted up Manu that's not worth a damn. At least take the chance.

How do you know he will continue to decline?

Hes coming off of a career year where the only thing is slowing him is lots of playoff games, and an injury in the first round. If he doesn't get hurt in round 1, were not talking about "trading" Ginobili.

Its not happening, nor should it.

You're fucked either way.

So why not stick with a clutch damn good player whos won 3 titles already?

Quitting on Ginobili is chickenshit.

So he will get better the older he gets? Shit if that's the case I can't wait to see how amazing he will be playing when he's in his 60's.

Sticking with him because you are afraid of taking a chance with the lottery is chicken shit.

Your being outlandish and blind. I'm not saying he will continue to get better. I'm saying his decline won't be as quick as you chicken littles think it will be.

Not afraid of taking a chance.

Afraid of giving up on a hall of fame player who steps up in huge playoff games.

Re: No.2 pick

The whole arguement is moot, because the Spurs aren't trading Ginobili.

The only way they would is if they got a huge superstar in return.
That simple.

Please. By the time you develop that number 2 pick into something resembling an NBA player, TD will be retired

Please, Kevin Durant was the second pick in the draft and is big time. Michael Beasley is coming into the league ready to contribute from day one.

Unfortunately we have nowhere near the pieces to acquire him. They have no interest in Manu already having Wade and Marion and we don't have the pieces to fit along in a Tony Parker centered package. Still, even in dreams Beasley looks good in a Spurs jersey.

I wonder if Nocioni or Thomas becomes available from the Bulls should they decide on Beasley instead of Rose.
