Rockets Board is buzzing with 2nd Spurs Trade Talk

[picnroll]

Rockheads spent years thinking Francis was a franchise player. Now the same Rockheads think TMac is a franchise player.

[Indazone]

Rockhead fans now understandably think the Spurs are in the business of making stupid trades with Houston.

Dennis Lindsey would have to be CIA/KGB/CTU/SIS Dennis to pull that one off, though.

Lets see now...

Beno to Kings for nothing.
Scola to the Rockets for nothing.

Why wouldn't Lindsey pull the trigger on this one. T-Mac for Manu.

He's already has a history of doing this stuff. This one isn't even for nothing. LOL

[some_user86]

Oh my god, it's a real thread. They're trying to be serious.

AAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahahhhahahaha hahahahaha

[Russ]

Manu = heart and soul. T Mac = no heart and soul.

Pop would have to be water-boarded to approve this. BS.

[timvp]

I wouldn't trade Manu for two TMacs. TMac is a quitter. Quitters don't win championships.

[ShoogarBear]

They really are pissed he took himself out of the game last night, aren't they?

[exstatic]

TMac - ultimate talent, ultimate quitter.

Just to throw gas on the fire, this works after 15 December:

Hou - TMac
SA - Manu, Elson, Horry, Vaughn

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Add Shane and Yao, and Bonzi, and Brooks, and 2 1st rounders
and we got a deal.

Rockheads spent years thinking Francis was a franchise player. Now the same Rockheads think TMac is a franchise player.

that always struck me as being curious.

tmac for manu. no. the guy has no ankles. i'm still undecided over kobe-manu trade. i would i settle for tmac?

[picnroll]

Spurs traded Manu and San Antonians would burn the AT&T Center down.

[wildbill2u]

So far Tmac has not shown the will to win that Manu has in clutch situations.

[m33p0]

Spurs traded Manu and San Antonians would burn the AT&T Center down.

that isn't far-fetched.

spurs already gift-wrapped scola to them. he give 'em a hand, now they want the whole arm.

[easjer]

Eh, why not? Season is getting boring.

I mean, there are the obvious reasons why not, but for the purposes of entertainment and because I don't hate TMac, sure. Knock it out in fantasy-land which is the only place this ever happens.

[diego]

it's different with these argies. no American player, or player from just about any other nationality, has such an unhealthily obsessed and obnoxious cult following as Manu does.

i guess you never met a kob- err, laker fan.

but go ahead, continue to make generalizations about a country. too bad you'd be hard pressed to name more than 5 "unhealthy obsessed cult followers," even counting the two new ones today.

[703 Spurz]

Rockets Board is buzzing with trade talk of T-Mac for Manu. Question. Would you do that trade? Why or why not?

Why would SA trade for McGrady? We're already successful enough with Manu, why get rid of him?

McGrady hasn't done in the NBA aside from score a bunch of points, hand out some assists and get eliminated in the 1st round

[lrrr]

I'm not such a homer as to say I wouldn't trade Manu for anyone. I would trade him for DWade, Lebron and Kobe (in that order - if the salaries somehow were made to fit)... but not TMac.

Please.

[greens]

I would never trade Manu for anyone...pure and simple...He's a true Spur in every sense of the word...the guy is unselfish, is playing brilliant basketball, 3 time nba champion, olympic medal, etc...

sorry if I hurt your feelings... no, actually I'm not

and I'm not generalizing a country, I'm referring to the group of fans who would follow Manu to whatever team he played for, oh and they happen to be nearly 100% Argentinian.

I live in SoCal, everyone here is a Laker fan, and none would become a Bull fan if he got traded there.

[SenorSpur]

Agreed.

Folks this is flat out BULL rumor! I don't know where this comes from

Don't believe the hype!

Spurs DO NOT trade Manu for anyone - especially a guy with NO HEART!

Manu is a Spur for life.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I would make that trade, unloading the church of Manu onto Houston would easily compensate for the slight loss in talent.

Because of peple like you I would consider trading Manu to the rockets. But hey.. I wouldn;t want the spurs to have tmac playing in our team.. that would be the end of a ring-class franchise.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I'd hate to think what the church of Tony would turn into without the CoM to keep it in check

Haha nice!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wishful thinking on the part of Rox fans.

NO WAY DO YOU TRADE ANY OF THE BIG 3. Why mess with a winning formula?

Manu is a proven clutch pressure finisher... Manu is a winner at every level... Manu's ego doesn't come before the team... Manu is on a very reasonable contract... Manu does not suffer from chronic injuries... for this team, Manu>>>>>>>>TMac.

Mark my words, none of the big 3 will be moved before 2010, except under exceptional cir stances.

[greens]

Agreed.

Exactly. Manu is a Spur for life...He earned it.

[Obstructed_View]

I wouldn't trade Manu for TMac and Yao.

[Real Tomato Ketchup]

I would turn in my card and never look back.
