beno, Barry, and E Will for Sarunas, S Jack and Barnes
Parker and Beno should both get traded.
beno, Barry, and E Will for Sarunas, S Jack and Barnes
has anyone mentioned okur yet? i think utah would have to be re ed to send him our way but i liked him even before their game
trade with the clippers
not for cory magette..but for james singletonn
that guy is gud...he is a hustle guy....he can play both PF n SF
plus spurs wont have to give much in return probably a draft pick
And you would give what for him? Parker?
jeff foster would be nice
o rebounding machine 3 in league last year
too bad gadzuric makes too much, he might have been a decent fit.
Gadzuric would make a great starting center next to duncan, a guy who can rebound, block shots and is athletic it'd be a great fit. But 31 million left on that contract probably means the spurs will never look his way. Bucks would probably let him go for peanuts (Ewill).
No.
Gadzuric is the second best dutch nba player when it comes to BBIQ.
Alvin Willaims was signed to a 10 day contract on Jan 30 by the clippers. Not sure if they resigned him but he may be available. He was a good starter with Toronto but its been at least a couple years now he has been dealing with injuries. May be worth a look as a backup pg.
Probably won't be a big difference maker but would be another backup pg option that would come at little cost.
He is available, but who do we cut?
jesus.
don't know if you just missed, that Williams hasn't played for 2 1/2 seasons, due to all the injuries he had, the Clippers tried to play him, but obviously he is not able to play at NBA level any more.
yes, we are desperate for help at PG, but that's total nonsense.
signing Kukoc and play him as PG would make more sense than this.
Is Kukoc available? I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Tony.
Why not trade Barry for a need area (athletic SF or Center) and sign Kukoc to stand out at the line and hit 3s a la Barry. Finley woul then take bigger role in the rotation and I do think he could flourish as the 6th man if given consistent minutes/defined role. If Finley goes cold, Kukoc might be a nice plug in there.
Right now the log-jam at the unathletic 2/3 is killing us.
615 posts on the 'reasonable trade forum" and not one single trade that is feasible or reasonable or has attracted consensus support. Why? Because we are in a position where no reasonable trades are possible.
It's easy to see why people who make their living at this--RC, Pop and the FO have decided that no significant trades are likely.

Word circulating in the locker room is that the Grizzlies want to pry away Portland center Jamaal Magloire and his expiring $8.3 million contract for Swift ($5.4) and Dahntay Jones ($1.9).if West has got the directive to trade away contracts, Spurs should hurry. not for Gasol, but a package like the one the Grizzlies are said to have offerd to the Blazers would be a great steal, if it just takes the contracts of Williams + Bonner to get them.http://www.latimes.com/sports/basket...ck=1&cset=true
Insiders say Memphis keeps dropping its asking price for Pau Gasol, suggesting owner Michael Heisley has told Jerry West to forget fair value and slash the payroll.
I'm not the biggest fan of Swift, but of course he would be an upgrade of the frontcourt right now (over Bonner), especially if we don't had to give up much.
I like Jones. he's not an outstanding talent, but he has what we lack (in terms of athleticismn) and is a good defender. would be a good backup and of course a huge upgrade over E. Williams.
give the Grizzlies some 2nd round picks if they need some more teasers.

"There are a lot of people in the NBA who like some of the Celtics' young players, but not as much as the Celtics like them. The widely held view on most of them is that they'd be serviceable reserves on a good team. (Pau Gasol doesn't want to come here, for instance.) How do you win with that kind of team? Yes, you could parachute Gomes or West onto the Spurs and my guess is that San Antonio wouldn't suffer at all. And that is part of the problem going forward, because when (or if) Ainge does deal any of these guys, they're likely going to prosper in their new environment, if for no other reason than they won't be playing with each other anymore."
It's funny that this dude mentions sending Ryan Gomes and Delonte West to the Spurs. I've been wanting that, in particular, to happen for awhile. Both of these players I think are perfect fits for a low-key organization like the Spurs. In my opinion, landing these two guys would be just as impactful as landing a big name like Maggette. Gomes, a 23 year old SF, can rebound well and is a big hustle player. For instance, in nov. he managed to get his first triple double against the Bobcats (... more active than we'd ever see Bowen get). I'm sure he'd prosper on the Spurs, off the bench or even in the starting lineup. West, a versatile and tough PG, would improve the Spurs more than Beno Udrih ever could, I'm sure of it. Dude can rebound really well for a PG, and even block some shots. Who knows, maybe he can handle running the point just as well as Parker himself.... A group of Delonte West (PG/SG), Ryan Gomes (SF/PF), and James White (SG/SF) would be good for the future... One can dream, right?
I wonder who, or how much, the Spurs would have to part with to land a West & Gomes duo.
Both good young players that would be great on this team. Unfortunately, I think it takes more than what the Spurs have currently, but less than one of the big 3 to get both of these guys. Either way it wouldn't be easy b/c they make so little that the Spurs would have to take on a long-term filler contract like Ratliff, Szerbiak, Scalabrine, etc.It's funny that this dude mentions sending Ryan Gomes and Delonte West to the Spurs.

It's not unreasonable because they're "superstars in the making", but it's pretty unreasonable given what the Spurs have to offer. Man it would be nice though.
How can we get Petro? because I think this guy will fit perfectly with the spurs(he is better than mahinmi)
Not in my books.
+ I thought Spurs needed a rebounder.
Yes, because a shoot first pass second PG on this team does us no good. TP doesn't lift up the playing level of those around him (only Tim and Manu do that).
If what Gummi said is true: i.e., that "Pop and R.C. aren't going to make a trade this season...they won't trade their core players. They'll wait until the off-season, evaluate the playoff run (as of right now we're not making it to the Conference Finals), then they'll try to make the moves they think will ensure us a great 07/08 season", then if I were Tim I'd be pissed off to find out the FO is throwing away a season while he (Tim) gets a year older.
We already have one state-side project center in Butler, but if he should be moved in order to get a backup PG or long 3, Petro could probably be had on the cheap. I think a Beno-Petro swap works straight up.
Joe Smith can be an interesting option. It's not a great name but he is a solid role player with a quite low trade value and who can be a good fit with Spurs and Duncan.
Williams + who? If it's Beno, the Spurs need to work on getting a backup PG as well and will have pretty much exhausted their trade assets.
Expirings + a second round pick should be enough to get him. Maybe atrade with a third team trading expirings contracts for Oberto.
I'm honestly lean more towards fixing the backup PG situation before the other two issues (rebounding big, long 3), but that's not a bad deal.
