I don't believe in dumping a franchise player for someone who is good "right now".
Loyalty. TD stayed here when he could have left. So no.
that being said.. no...not for someone who hasn't stepped foot on an NBA floor.
This summer if you could?
trading for Oden makes Spurs a dynasty most likely for 10+ years. With Duncan the Spurs will remain this good for at least 3 to 4.
Any thoughts?

I love Oden's game and his potential. He'll be Dikembe Mutombo on one end, Artis Gilmore on the other.
But my answer to your question is "no way in ".
Your just saying that because you know saying something like that about Duncan would seem "wrong" when infact if you really thought about it.. trading for Oden would be the best thing that could happen. Anyways that being said no one in the right mind would trade Oden anyways so who cares.
This is good. I needed that. Thanks!
you guys might not, but Holt would
Uhhhhh... let me think........... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll bet he wouldn't.you guys might not, but Holt would
i rather have a chance of winning next 3-4 yrs till duncan is gone than go with ODEN who wont be able to come in and make us win now.
Oden is NOT a proven NBA player - Duncan certainly is. And then there is the loyalty issue - Duncan will retire a Spur just like Robinson.
Yes because he's such a MOVER...and spoken like a true unknowledgeable moron, err Nuggets fan--it's not his decision.you guys might not, but Holt would
Oden will not have half the success that Tim Duncan has had.
So-- no!
I don't think Portland would either. Only player they'd probably trade Oden for is LeBron. Longterm evaluation would make it a very unprudent business move on the part of Portland to make such a trade.
No way.
No.
Trade the best bigman in the game who took us to 4 finals for a 40-year old unproven rookie?
Greg Oden is an unproven. Tim Duncan is so economical with his game efforts that there is another and even 2 more serious Finals runs left on his warranty.
Just for fun here are some quotes from back in the days.......
1999 - Coach Popovich:
After watching Tim Duncan lead the San Antonio Spurs to their first NBA championship in 1999, coach Gregg Popovich, aiming for perspective, simply said of his then-23-year-old superstar, "He's probably a little young to be a legend yet."
2003 - Coach Popovich:
"He's a very mature individual who understands what needs to be done," Popovich said after Wednesday's 101-95 win. "It's just who he is. It's what makes him so special."
2003 - Duncan after game 4 loss to Nets:
(Coming off Game 4, the Spurs' only loss in the series, in which he scored 15 points and was 3-for-12 from the free throw line, Duncan was determined not to be what he called "a hindrance" again.)
"I knew I had to put together a better performance," he said. "I didn't want to have one of those (games) again. I wanted to put together a better game, give our team a chance to win. I just don't like playing bad games. And when I do, I love to have a bounce-back game and put a performance together. ... You get in situations where you are in a bad game, and I am as guilty as anyone (of) getting down on myself and not playing through the entire game. I do need to get better at that, but at the same time I am what I am."
(The Spurs responded with a big quarter, building a 13-point lead, and never trailed after that.)
2003 - Steve Nash:
"His ultimate goal is always winning," Suns point guard and league MVP Steve Nash said. "There's never any ulterior motive, and I think that's very admirable in our business today."
No.
Uh........No.
There are people three or four years ago who would have pulled the trigger on a Tim for Amare deal. You just never know when someone's going to turn out to be a total dumbass, have a damaged knee, or both.
Hah! Sure and also I'd Trade Duncan for a million cajillion dollars.
no.
No.
ing.
Way.
I wouldn't trade Duncan for Kobe in his prime or Steve Nash in his prime. Tim Duncan is the ultimate winner and a true professional. I don't think Oden will ever compare to Duncan.
