I would trade anyone on the roster but Tony, Tim, Manu & Bruce ... and not feel guilty at all.
If someone offered Kobe or LeBron for Tony, Manu or BruceI'd trade them too. And feel a little guilty.

I would would see what I could get for Tony Parker keep Manu and Tim. and I would feel very guilty.
If you could trade any Spurs player who would it be, and how guilty would you feel?

You'd feel guilty if someone offered you Kobe/LeBron for Bruce?
I'd feel guilty for trading any of the "Big 4", unless it was for better value (which is hard to find for at least TP/Manu/TD)
Roleplayers, sure - it would be bad cause most of them are good locker room guys, but as long as we are getting the good side of the trade - there would be no guilt.
I would never want a laker as a Spur. That is like a Sin that not even GOD almighty (David Stern) can forgive.
I am really talking about the top 3 Spur players.
How Guilty would you feel to Trade Tim Duncan after all he has done for San Antonio?
How Guilty would you feel to trade Manu after all he did for This City?
Don't get me wrong,I think Tony parker is 100 times better than Jason Kidd, and trading him could be devastating, and could backfire but...
he is after all a Frenchy, and he is still Le waxing some Latin girl's ass every night so I don't really feel so bad for the vato.![]()
Manu and Parker's ass stright up for CP3?
ya!........... Homie!
And I would not e..vent! lose any sleep,
pat-na!
Ditto.
But I wouldn't even contemplate trading the above - those guys should play together until 2010 at the very least. I think they have one more ring in them...
If I owned the Spurs, I'd never trade Duncan - even if he wanted to play til he was 50 and was horrible. But I'd trade anyone else for the right price - but my price is high for Tony, Manu, and even Bruce - and I'd feel very guilty.
I couldnt trade a single one of the starters (Manu being one of them)...only cause those guys are what make the team for me. I'd hate to trade IME or Barry but i could do it. I'd lose Finley, Bonner, JV...etc, in a heartbeat... for a bag of chips.
Good meat! Good curry!
trade Parker..........and hurry!
This is where the CoM comes out of hiding...and the CoT shows their lack of numbers.
I would trade Mighty Mouse and no I would feel no guilt
Trading Parker would be dumb unless you are getting a big time player back. He's still developing.
I can see the logic of trading Manu because of his age (and because people think he'll decline rapidly because of his style of play). However, I wouldn't do it. Manu has a will to win like very few players, plus he's very efficient and he's amazing to watch. So unless someone is offering a Kobe/LeBron for him (which would never happen) - I'd never even consider it.
I'm with Kori. If I got backa lot, I would trade anybody except Tim.
This is why i don't understand all the Tony hate around here. The guy is exactly what the Spurs need right now...a young, developing star. He's the only one of the big three that has A LOT left in the tank.
The "trade Tony" threads might be more absurd than a "Trade TD" thread.
i wouldn't trade anyone from the big 3
Any Spurs players? Well Bonner of course. No guilty feeling.
it should be hard for them. you know that the CoM not only loves manu, which could be understandable if it was not a blind cult, but hates tony, which is stupid.
and we had basically PO which showed that TP is one of the best PG, able to score at a good %, to defend , to be very clutch, . He was arguably our best player, showed he's now very reliable in PO and is still improving.
on the other end, manu has horrible PO and showed that he deserves his reputation of injuries prone and dumb plays specialist. it's who he is. along with his great play, his clutch play and his winning and team first mentality, we all have to see that injuries, fatigue and dumb plays (TO/bad shots/stupid fouls) are not just bad luck but are part of the streaky player that manu is.
so, frustation should be high for the CoM.
anyway, if you look at it honnestly, you probably have to say that you don't trade tim, tony, manu and bruce. great players, soul of the team and at the right price (not to say cheap). With tim and tony, considering the level/age/health aspects, being the only ones untouchables. with tim being still the one defining our franchise.
Finley for Avery Johnson!
give me a ing break! Hey, JAG, see here, THIS is where people realize that suddenly its become acceptable to piss all over Manu but a sin to say anything bad about Tony...
Now people who've been here long enough know that I really don't like the Manu nutjobs that preach hate for Tony for no logical reason, but when did it suddenly become acceptable for jackasses like kace over here to dump all over Manu? Where's Shoogar Bear's outrage at the Manu bashing by the Tony nuthuggers?
Seems to me, we went from one double standard to another. Now, I know how Spurstalk works, and normally I wouldn't say because the arguments tend to level themselves out. Its just this one's tilting way the to just one side.
P.S. By the way, with regards to who I would trade. If the price is right, I would even trade Tim. That should sum things up right there. Problem is, there is no right price for Tim. Manu and Tony are a different animal altogether. I would trade any/both of them for CP3, Kobe or LeBron. The point here is to stay compe ive for as long as Tim has any juice. , if we could get a player like D Howard, I would pull the trigger as well.

With his increasing fragility and chronic health problems, Manu is part of our past and not our future.
Why they got Horry.
Agree. Manu is the one you trade while he still has high value.
The only Spur all-time who I wouldn't trade no matter what was Robinson. Robinson bent over backwards to keep the Spurs in San Antonio numerous times. He could have easily let the Spurs die and no one would have blamed him.
I like Duncan as much as the next Spurs fan but if by trading him the Spurs can get four more guaranteed championships, I'll help him pack.
I would never trade Duncan, unless he goes for a great team and I start rooting for his new team. But I would feel guilty trading most of the other players, specially Manu, Parker, Barry and Bowen.
