Lateral move...and it might actually make us worse. Add Frye without having to give up a big and we might have something
Since everyone wants to a make trade on this forum. I thought of a trade on my own.
Udoka & Bonner for Channing Frye.
The salaries are close and Channing is a legit 6'10 or 6'11 and he can hit the 12-15 ft jump shot. Also, he's only 25!
I know giving up Bonner would suck....but you have to give up something in order to get something and plus Udoka gets to return home.

frye so far hasnt done
while bonner has...keep the dude if his producing
Good point!
But Frye makes 3 million plus and I don't think Portland would let him go without getting something in return.
Even if you wanted to add Vaughn and Oberto....the salaries don't quite match with Frye's.
I was a big Channing Frye fan when he came out of college. Unfortunately, he's turned out to be a lot softer than most imagined.
Kinda reminds me of Brad Sellers now![]()
I would agree..but I know Portland is going to want something in return. If you can get him without giving up Bonner...that will be great!
I just don't think so.
Maybe so....
But he is a legit 6'10 or 6'11 and can hit the midrange jumper. I feel the Spurs needs someone like that in their system.
For example...Pau Gasol can hit that midrange jumper consistently and which makes LA that more dangerous in the post.
If TD had someone like that beside him...the Spurs would be that much more difficult to beat!!
I like the trade for the Spurs, but I don't see why Portland would do it.
Frye is softer than Bonner, no thanks
There are lots of C's fans who also want Frye to replace Brown. What's the fascination with this guy?
Frye is what PJ Brown would be if he was a woman.
If he's soft and isnt working out on some other team. Please dont tell the FO.
Frye does have some skill and can hit the midrange jumper. He may be soft.....but his skill set would be a good fit opposite TD.
For example, imagine if Pau Gasol was on the Spurs? Gasol is soft....but very skilled and can hit the midrange jumper. If teams double teamed TD..he would make them pay!!
I know that Gasol is a much better player than Frye. But Frye is skilled and its a realistic scenario the Spurs could do.

Gasol actually plays D though..he's soft, but he can play above average defense..
Frye's D isn't better than Bonner..he's basically a slightly more athletic player with less range..
Agreed, but isn't it about defense and rebounding at this point?
I thought that was the clarion call for all of those folks who wanted trades. The Spurs aren't very good this year in categories that are usually their bread and butter.
My question would be: What does Frye offer that Bonner doesn't?
"Potential" doesn't suffice in this situation.
Could you imagine how good he would be after working under Duncan. The problem with Portland is they have all that talent and no way to build them. He is only in his third year.
