who?
As Portland approaches Utah for Paul Milsap (to make it succesful Portland will have to spend a lot of money - 8~9 mil per year), and as Rudy Fernandez's role is clashed with Brandon Roy's, is there any chance Spurs might get this Spanish guy?
Fernandez, just like Manu, is a proven big time player, a great three point shooter, a creative passer and an athelte.
Provided Bowen returns and plays a rockdown defender role for 15 minutes a game, he and Bowen could be a final puzzle to the championship run.
What do you think?

who?
Sorry. It's Rudy Fernandez, not Fernando Martinez.
Fernando Martinez was a Spanish legend big man in the 80s.![]()

not gonna happen rudy pretty good talent but even i know pritchard would demand more than he's even worth.
But his role is clashed with Roy's, and he is not happy at all for lack of playing time.
I think Fernandez is an excellent player on a very cheap rookie contract and there's no way Portand would give him up. Further, I think Prichard would burn in before he'd ever help us out.
oh, ok. then no. we have zero chance at rudy.
I guess if Pop traded the hand of midas, we might have a shot...
Even if the Blazers wanted to get rid of him, they would make sure to get something good for him. And they live to screw us, so they're not doing us any favors.
Fernando Martinez might be willing to accept the LLE.
Blazers aren't trading Rudy. But they are over-loaded at SF with Martell Webster, Outlaw and Batum all at that position. Webster was hurt last year so it worked out. But he is expected to return and one of those 3 will be traded IMO. Spurs could use any of them.
Webster, Outlaw or Batum?????????????????
They won't offload Batum (rookie contract, high ceiling), so it's down to the other two, neither of whom is a stopper, and both of who are earning about 4mil. I don't see the fit.
You're right. Outlaw is not clutch and pretty much folded in the playoffs. Webster is mainly just a 3 pt shooter.
It depends if they want the SURE extra $7M of cap room next summer. Pryz may opt out. Then again, he may not. If they want to be sure, they take our last 3 expiring contracts (Mase, Fin, Bon) and trade us Pryz and Fernandez. He's the non-negotiable price of offloading Pryzbila.
Did I miss something about Pritchard? The Spurs gave him his start and big break, and Pop/RC always want to see guys leave and do well. Was there some sort of falling out?
He plays good, I liked his shooting accuracy and also good in making decision even though he is still a Rookie.
I would love it, but it isn't happening. He is on a rookie scale contract and makes it difficult to even match numbers.
And they'll only do that once they're more comfortable about Oden's health. Sounds like a mid-season possibility to me, which would work better for us too as it would give us a chance to trot out the young frontcourt and see who's going to work out.
Grabbing Rudy is an enticing prospect. I think he could be Manu-lite in a year or two.
Is there any chance we could land Lebron James? What are you re ed?
That was a very kind word... Thank you!
They have coveted Outlaw in the past. So might take a look at trading for him -- it wouldn't hurt to have a 6'9 SF who can score a bit.
i just dont c us getting ne1 of real value in a trade involving bonner and/or finely
Sure, just doesn't fit a need is all.
Actually, I really like Outlaw - he's long, athletic (although he doesn't maximise his use of it), sweet stroke, not afraid to take (and make) big shots. Is there any potential to develop him as a stopper? I haven't payed close attention to his D.
Not when he thinks he is Michael Jordan and starts to take a dribble , 1 step, pull up 20 footer.
