Top Big Men On The Trade Block

[Manufan909]

Some random thoughts:

It's interesting the comment about other GMs not wanting to work with Pritchard in Portland. I could care less about that e-mail about Miles and I wouldn't let that stand in the way of deal if a good one was to be made. If there is any truth to that, I would try and take advantage of the situation.

The Clippers have always been to Spurs fans like Lucy is to Charlie Brown holding the football for a place kick. There seems to always be some Clipper we covet and want to trade for or sign as a free agent in the off-season but they never work out.

Rasho is one of the few guys you could bring in and in theory would not be lost while they are learning the Spurs system. It seems new guys have that learning curve time with us (other than the time Nazr worked out).

The Hawks might be interested in George Hill and some filler for Marvin Williams but geez I hate to give up Hill.

Giving up Hill means JV starts playing again. no. I think all on ST can agree with that.

Guys check David Lee's statistics..he is also young. I think with 15.7 points and 11.7 rebounds this season (and average 10 points all his carreer which just started) we will beat Celtics for sure considering we got our beloved Big 3 plus Mason,Bonner and Hill played like usual. Hopefully Knicks wont match his offer considering they try to make room for Lebron.

We know he owns, the Spurs just don't have anything to offer, since they won't trade the people you mentioned(except for Bonner, and he'd probably avg more than Lee in D'Antoni's system, since he'd get to jack up 3s).

Ian's ceiling better not be seeable from Lee's, since the Spurs passed to get him.

I want Rasho back.

Awwww....

And I 2nd wanting Rasho. He seems to be one of the most realistic targets. Anyone know if he could actually deal with Bynum or Gasol effectively?

He played well against the Lakers this season.

of the bunch, David Lee and Marvin Williams are about the only guys I like. the Hawks could use a guy like Ginobili, with his championship experience and whatnot. the knicks would love Manu, his style would work well under d'antoni and his contract expires in time for LBJ

Too bad that adding any of those guys won't help us if we give Manu up.

Lee would be a great get. I remember reading that his salary is about $1.8 mil. Someone can check me on that if I'm wrong. Very affordable. Yet, Donnie Walsh ISN'T going to take back trash in exchange for a valuable, young player like Lee. I don't care if they are trying to preserve cap space for the LBJ sweepstakes. I'd be interested if the Spurs try and pursue him anyway.

I dream of Boozer going to SA, but David Lee should be fine. If we can afford Camby I bet Pop will take him since he is veteran and would love the chance to get a ring. Above all, I think Spurs should dare burn all of their salary cap for a player who can make "Celtics like change" to Spurs, I know Spurs didnt need that kind of drastic change but nowadays in NBA world you need 4 stars to secured a championship rings. Well maybe in 3 in Celtics case..

who has that? certainly not last year's champs...or the champs before that...or the champs before that...

Rasho would be a very good fit for us against the Lakers..he could guard Gasol effectively with Duncan next to him, and he's a great mid-range shooter that can take Pau out of the paint..that's part of the reason Indiana has been successful vs. LA this season, Murphy-Rasho can take their bigs out of the paint..

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think any team has 4 stars in the entire NBA lol..Boston has 3, Cleveland has 1, Orlando has 1(maybe 2), LA has 2(Bynum's consistency can make it 3..don't say Odom, please)..

Rasho actually would be a good pickup. I never thought I'd be happy to trade for Rasho back, but he would be a big improvement defensively over Bonner and Oberto.

The major problem with Rasho is his 8.4 Million dollar salary, which means to make a legal trade, we have to send at 6.64 Million dollars in salary back, which is hard to do from our spare parts. Also, the Pacers have 15 players (including Rasho) on the roster - would have to waive players to make space for whatever players are incoming beyond the first... This makes a trade economically expensive for them, and would require us to provide significant cash compensation...

Yeah, Spurs would pretty much have to trade Bowen + one of the bigs (Bonner, Oberto, or Thomas) to make that work. The Pacers would probably want a draft pick or something too since the incoming Spurs wouldn't really help their rebuilding process (maybe they'd take Splitter). Couldn't the Pacers just throw in one of their lowest paid players to avoid waiving anyone, though?

Be careful in taking Knick players stats at face value this year. With their new run and gun coach they get more shots and more rebounds.

[Manufan909]

He was doing well before, too. He'd be a duble double machine here, especially playing with the best PF in the game. But I'd settle for Rasho. Hope Pop realized from the last LA game he needs another super solid big. Bonner are all solid, but, Fab, and KT they have as much athleticism as Dwight's left shin. If he can get a Lee or Rasho level player, I hope the improvement shows in the next game againt the Lakers.

[HarlemHeat37]

you guys are hoping for way too much if you want David Lee..

[Manufan909]

It's called dreaming, don't ruin it for us.
