    What about this?

    Manu and Thomas or Oberto for Elton Brand

    The Spurs will be getting the very needed good bigman and the sixers will be getting the best player of the trade plus a solid role player.

    Besides the sixers don't have a scoring perimeter player (they don't even have a guy that shoots the 3 decently) and I think it's fair to say that Brand didn't meet the expectations in Philly

    I think that in the real life the ones that wouldn't want to do this trade are the Spurs

    Bad trade plus Elton Brand is injured. Undersized power forwards usually have a steep drop in production at age 30. Brand is 29 and his steep drop in production looks like it's happening a year early.

    I also think this is a bad trade for us but to me is the best we can get for Manu.

    Manu is my favorite player, this thread was actually a strange way of trying to stop all the ridiculous trade Manu talk.

    I'd do it:

    lets trade manu+fab for brand

    ...wait, manu isnt that redhaired big guy on our roster?!

    no, serious: as much as I love brand and as much as I think timmy and him in the frontcourt would be awsome, we just need manu what manu givs us...even with mason and hill doing so great...we cant affort to mix such big parts of the team without skrewing this season

    and after all, I dont see philly doing it!...possobply they would trade brand for some young players (think randoph+wrigh) but not a veteran SG, that may net them some more wins, but wont be able to give them future or hope for a championship right now by himself

    Trading Manu is a bad idea, he has much more value to the Spurs than to any other team in the league. The Sixers have already backourt depth and their only post up player is Brand.

    Moreover, Brand is not a good fit for the spurs, we need more a guy who can rebound and be a good defensive presence than a scorer, ideally that would be Camby but if K. Thomas can build on his lasts performances, I don't think it will be necessary.

    i dont have a problem trading manu- but for the right price. elton brand is NOT that right price.

    if spurs got rid of manu for brand there is no way they would win the same amount of games if they had not done the deal.

    But that's the point I'm trying to make, there's no reasonable trade that you could make to help the Spurs get better by trading Manu. You won't get the Lebrons, Kobes and Boshes of the world so who would you trade Manu for?

    i really don't see manu being trade for two reasons:

    1) if he gets back to his real level, you just can't trade such a good player at 10 M/year. you'll never have something as valuable in return.

    2) if he's really lost a step, why any other team would want him, considering his age ?

    and you have to add that to even consider trading manu, he really has to suck a lot because he's just a member of the core.

    if hill, bonner and mason are allowed by pop, like he said, "to play bad for 36 games" to not be used, then manu should be allowed all the time he wants to play well, considering what he brought to this team and that he's getting back after an injury.

    I don't think that work for both sides but I could see Manu eventually being shopped around especially the closer it gets for his contract to run out.

    Why would Manu even be shopped around? He was injured at the beginning of the season. It's going to take time for him to get fully back to his potential. I don't see the Spurs even considering to trade Manu. I think Tim even joked around about that last year.

    actually this year Bonner > Brand
    I agree Right now our roster is damn good..no need to trade unless its extremely beneficial move to Spurs. I hope Ian will make big nice surpise as well...Bonner,Mason and Hill did.
    but if Brand can put his Clippers days numbers if he's traded in Spurs i think its a good idea...but then Duncan have to play C. They can play batman and robin. Brand can make middle jumpers and he can put up second chance from Duncan shot or try to create his own in low post,that will relieve Duncan and when starters rest..Bonner,Mason and Hill will rock the house. but well...this is hypothetical and looking at Brand injuries, i preety much doubt it...we need Manu in playoffs
