Thats why trading for Kurt Thomas makes so much sense.
On ATH about a min and thirty seconds ago they talked about whether the Spurs should stay as is, or make a trade.
3/4 panelists said the Spurs are 1 game ahead of their pace last year and should rely on their vets to make plays. Plaschke said that he considers the Spurs to be the best team in the NBA in the last 5 min of a game.
Think the Spurs are good: Bill Plaschke
Jay Mariotti
Kevin Blackistone
1/4 panelists think that the Spurs need to make a deal for either Ron Artest or Ben Wallace to be able to match what other teams were doing. His reasoning was only to counter other teams moves
Think the Spurs need a trade: Woody Paige
I think if the Spurs make a trade it needs to be one that suites them not only for the rest of this season but also helps them in later seasons. I dont think they should ever trade based solely upon other teams moves.
Looking at teams like Miami we can see what happens when a team makes a deal that only prepares them for 1 or 2 future seasons. Sure Shaq got them a le, but that team is now worse off then they were before the trade.

I can agree that it makes sense to get KT...but i dont know who they would ask for, and i know that both Barry and Finley have proved to be good for spreading the floor in the playoffs.
Barry is proving hes good for handing out gatorade right now and will more than likely not play again for the rest of the year or be the same.
Kurt Thomas gives you someone to guard Shaq and Bynum.
As stated in the "Trade for Kurt Thomas" thread.
Why would they want a busted Barry then?
Cap space, and give more PT to Swift Petro without having to bench a good veteran roleplayer.
Zeke is in New York.
Thomas is in Seattle.
Was Barry's injury updated? I assumed he would be back by March.
Was it classified as season ending?
haha my bad...wasnt thinking
i guess the thing with this trade is we seem to think that other teams would love elson...i dont think they see him too much different than we do.
this is assuming that barry and elson would be packaged in a trade.
Trading for Ben Wallace would be about the dumbest move the Spurs could make.
Woody Paige is such an idiot.
He will but hes mid 30s and has injured the calf muscle pretty good twice.
Common sense tells you that hes not gonna be the same when gets back.
Have they not noticed that Ben Wallace sucks ass?
Artest? I wouldn't have too much of a problem with it, but I think Petrie would would want quite a bit for him.
I don't think Memphis likes Kwame Brown. They like the 9 million in cap space he creates. Same with elson, they may not like him (they may, some teams are dumb) they like the 3 mill in cap space he creates or adds onto though.i guess the thing with this trade is we seem to think that other teams would love elson...i dont think they see him too much different than we do.
If Petrie wouldn't mind sucking down Bonner's contract, I think Elson, Bonner, Barry would get it done.Artest? I wouldn't have too much of a problem with it, but I think Petrie would would want quite a bit for him
THinking about it, I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't complain too much. IE signing Glenn Robinson.
I think it would only take Barry and one of the others to make the salaries work, but what else would Petrie want?
I imagine if he could get rid of Kenny Thomas at the same time he would do it. That would almost be worth it.
I could think of worse 4th bigs to have than Kenny Thomas.I think it would only take Barry and one of the others to make the salaries work, but what else would Petrie want?

No thanks to Artest from my end. Also, with regards to a Kenny Thomas/Artest package, read this http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=761664 to understand how ugly the Thomas contract is...
I'll wait till people on this site confirm the contract before listening to those goofs.
"Stephen Jackson was a late season rental" sigh
Thomas' contract is ugly, but it fits the cap plan. If there was a way to get Artest to take his option for next year as a condition of the trade, I would definitely consider it.
Agreed, it fits "Project 2010"
Woody Paige is a ing idiot.
Goes without saying.
Guess we could create a new acronym. GWS.
Common sense tells me Deikembe Mutombo should have retired 8 years ago.
Common sense also tells me the NY Knicks should have never made Isiah Thomas as their GM, but they did anyways.
Common sense tells me the Spurs should have never recieved 2 HOF post players from the draft within a 10 year period. Fortunately for us, God is a Spurs fan.
Artest or especially Wallace would be disastrous.
A trade is a good idea. I fully advocate trading Barry at this point; it's not likely he'll play for us this year again. We should not expect him to.
Injuries are different from what your talking about though my friend.
