If you could make one trade, who would it be for?

You are in full charge of the San Antonio Spurs!

If you could make one trade who would it be for?

[E20]

Beno for Lebron.

lets try to keep it realistic

Beno for Lebron.

Fair enough

Fixed.

Realistically speaking, I would trade Beno for cash + some draft picks, or maybe some other solid PG that is on the last year of his contract.

[Mavs08]

Dirk for Tim Duncan!

[Booty Call]

Pop for Phil Jackson!

[shelshor]

Beno & Barry for Delonte West

[Banjo Boy]

Beno & Barry for Delonte West

Your playing my tune!

[meta2007]

Peter Holt for Bill Gates!

[lefty]

Eva Longoria for Rosie O'Donnel

[RC's Boss]

Pop for Phil Jackson!

Nice oily ass pic... Me likes!

I would call up the Clippers and say,

"Hey, why don't you ask Elton if he's coming back next year. If he's not planning on it, you're spending x million dollars for nothing this year; at best, he may come back when the season is almost over. Then, it will be too late to get a spot in the playoffs, but you might win enough games to screw up your chances in the next lottery. Rather than waste all that money and screw yourself out of a great shot at rebuilding, here's what we'll do. We'll give you the expiring contracts of Beno (a promising guard, just doesn't fit with Pop) and Brent Barry (3 point sharpshooter extraordinaire), and maybe an extra second-rounder next year.

On the face of it "Brand for Beno/Barry/2nd rounder" sounds crazy, but you again have to realize
A. He's out for most if not all of the season - you're paying him for nothing.
B. He's not coming back next year, so you can't even hope for an eventual return on that investment.
C. Even if he manages to come back at the end of the year, he can't really help you into the postseason, but he could screw you out of a high lottery pick.

Also,

D. Beno has talent, and there is a possibility he could flourish in your system
He's still a young guy, and that could help with rebuilding
E. If he or Barry don't work out, don't keep them.
F. That extra 2nd rounder will also help the rebuilding"

For the Spurs, while the luxury tax hit would hurt, I would tell Holt to swallow it as a short-term loss because the long-term success and value of the franchise would far outweigh it. Additionally, If Brand could get healthy by the postseason, he could be useful this year; presumably, we'd have him studying our rotations all year while he was sidelined. Maybe he likes the atmosphere so much he stays next year.

[ducks]

Beno for Lebron.

that is realist
beno and james both suck

[Indazone]

Why don't you make a pitch for Jermaine O'Neal. Can ya do it? Get rid of Elson, Oberto and maybe some cash. Would Bird go for that?

[MavTalker]

Peter Holt for Bill Gates!

[lint]

Tony Parker for Jason Kidd

[MrChug]

I really would like the opportunity to throw Brent (who I'm the biggest fan of since Chris Mullin) to a team that needs some character and some veteran leadership and shooting (i.e. the Clippers, the Jazz) for someone younger and more nutty like slim-kneed Livingston or even Collins.

Sounds like a good idea. I love this idea

[Xylus]

Shawn Marion for Rasheed Wallace

[phyzik]

Brent (as much as I like him), Beno and a future second round draft pick for Baron Davis
