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

As a Mavs fan I would trade Dirk for Tim.

why are u still a Mav fan then?

The Spurs ball boy and a strand of Ginobili's hair for the entire 1972 LA Lakers roster in their prime.

I think I would trade some future draft picks for Josh Howard and Jason Terry (since that's about all they are worth), then trade Howard and Terry to the Lakers for Kobe (since they are considering that deal w/Dallas).

I thought I had the most outrageous trade scenario, but SpursDynasty beat me:

Not really.

TD can play center and KG can play PF. Both will demand double teams. Remember today TD is the only Spurs player demanding double team consistently. The combination of TD and KG would further enhance our le chances lot more than TP. Also, KG does not need to lead this team. This team has more leaders. KG can take care of his usual business.

After TD's retirement, TP can not take this team anywhere. Need proof? Look at Kobe.

The only point I agree with you on is price for KG.

You still miss the point about balance. We have the perfect court balance right now, and KG would upset that. TP slashes, TD owns the post, and Manu freelances. You say "TD can play center and KG can play PF" but ignore the fact that they both play in roughly the same area on the floor and you still need a PG to get the ball to them. Manu is then the only slasher and easier to shut down. IMHO you're thinking "team on paper" not "basketball reality".

You'd also be trading a 25yo who is still improving for a 31yo with a lot of miles on the clock.

Who said TP could take the team anywhere on his own? Not me. But you miss the point that TD and KG ARE THE SAME AGE, and KG is likely to lose effectiveness before TD because he relies on his athleticism more. That makes your point moot because KG is not going to be leading the Spurs any longer than TD will.

Well, since the Eva for Rosie O'Donell won't go down (too bad for TP), I propose :

Duncan's daughter for 1 of Michael Jordan's sons.

Oberto, Elson, Future draft pick and cash for Oden.
