So you don't think it is possible for the spurs to be a contender next year.
Bosh will be on the market and is a player that would make the spurs a contender. Now I am not saying Manu could get Bosh straightup or even Manu + expiring contracts but Bosh is a player that could give the spurs a fighting chance against the Lakers. Camby is also a possibility and that deal would be a straitup trade that the clippers may make but not sure Camby would push the spurs past the Lakers.
The spurs are in a position that they have to make a major move to upgrade the frontline.
There are always deals that go down every year that include good frontline players and the spurs front office needs to pull something off.
I am not expecting the spurs to do much more than the usual below average role player moves and sell the idea that a healthy Manu gets them back to the top. This line of thinking will lead to another early playoff exit next year.

The only players i would trade Manu for are Kobe,LeBron,Wade,Amare or Bosh. Thats it
melo>manu
Howard, Durant, Paul, Melo, Granger, Jefferson.................
It's just not going to happen. Why would Toronto give away Bosh for a player that is just as likely to walk away? Manu has already stated that he could see himself in Houston with Scola if the Spurs don't re-sign him, so Toronto has no shot at keeping him. Camby? You are really out of touch with reality.
I agree that it is a crap shoot with Manu's health...but the odds are much better on that gamble, and you...once again...fail to suggest any scenario that would make us a championship contender if we traded him.
Really?
Is that because of age only? Those guys are not better than Manu.
Age is part of it, but not all of it. And yes, those two are better than Manu right now. Two years ago, no. Today, yes.
I don't care anymore. I guess I'm one of the few who thinks Manu will come back very healthy and have a great year. I think I'm more concerned with Tim's chronic knee condition then Manu's ankles. If it makes the Spurs better then Bye Manu and I will still enjoy watching him play but I wouldn't just trade him to get rid of him like everyone wants to do. Let's see what he can do before just getting rid of him. At least he has only one year with the Spurs before he can go anywhere he wants and he knows this so he's going to be even more motivated to play well this year. Just like Pop said most players don't stay with the same team that they started with so who knows.
Just for the record, I disagree.
I can understand having a debate about Manu versus Granger, but how can you not want to trade Manu for a 23 year old 20-10 guy like Al Jefferson? If there's ever going to be anything close to a Tim Duncan clone it's that guy.Just for the record, I disagree.
Damn CG !!
I was thinking about Richard Jefferson !!!
Al Jefferson is better. No doubt.

That would explain it. No way in I'm trading Manu for Richard Jefferson.
alot of good that did us in the playoffs.
About right, I think that is what Pop mean't by someone making a "stupid offer" for Manu.
Yea them to
Manu = Spurs T-Mac
yo why everytime you said that u weren't coming back, u came back right away
no, when was the last time you see T-mac contribute to win a championship?
They both score a lot. They both can alter another teams defense. They are both chronically injured.
This Manu injury thing is really overhyped, he'll be fine people...
calm down for COL.
Just something I randomly thought about. And throw in the 5th pick to the Raptors or something. I am helping to give lux tax relief to Washington also with the trade. Sorry my bad, update.
Raptors will be under the cap this off season. Wizards on the other hand, will be in the area of the luxury tax. Spurs want to add a player who can impact the team and for another championship.
Wizards trade Deshawn Stevenson, Antawn Jamison, Mike James and the 5th pick for Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto. By buying out Fabricio Oberto, the Wizards should get out of the lux tax.
Raptors trade Chris Bosh for Antawn Jamison, 5th pick, Mike James and Deshawn Stevenson. Chris Bosh is not signing an extension. Bryan Coangelo may be worried he flies out of Toronto, so it would be best to trade him for assets before he leaves. With them under the tax, they can afford to eat up Mike James and Stevenson while preparing themselves for the 2011 season with Marcus Banks, Reggie Evans and Deshawn Stevenson expiring. They can also get James Harden and start him at the 2 guard spot immediately.
The Spurs trade Manu Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto for Chris Bosh. For the Spurs, trading Ginobili is a huge risk, high return. The Spurs can then get Chris Bosh and form the most formidable Center-Power Forward combination in the NBA and their games mesh very well. With Tony Parker playing for the Spurs, Bosh can also focus more on defense. We have seen he is capable of that in the Olympics, and with Duncan as his mentor like what David Robinson did for him, Bosh can become the new top power forward in today's game while competing for the championship.
Does that sound fair to you guys?

the past couple years manu may have missed 80% of what tmac did, ok that's comparable. but that doesnt change that manu is a warrior that plays through injury while tmac is a pussy that sits out whenever he gets the chance
sorry I lol'd... comparing T-Mac with Manu injuries wise?
just in case..
Sounds great. Anyway to land Bosh for Manu would be good.
