    This article says shop him to see what value he has, not trade him. Why are all of you so paranoid?
    But you have to admit, this is a re ed idea. Shop him to see his value. How exactly are you supposed to gauge someones value by doing this?

    By looking at the average offer. And if someone is stupid enough to offer something like Greg Oden (starting to live up to expectations) + Martell Webster (damn good at shooting) + Jerryd Bayless (this guy is good) + 1st round pick 2010 unprotected, you take it and run.

    Well sure, if you want to increase Portland's chances of winning the NBA le in 2010 while decreasing the Spurs chances of winning the same.
    I said if Oden lives up to expectations. Which is supposed to be Dwight Howard second season-like. And Bayless and lock down a PG if he wanted to.

    So.......

    "if someone is stupid enough to offer something like Greg Oden (starting to live up to expectations) + Martell Webster (damn good at shooting) + Jerryd Bayless (this guy is good) + 1st round pick 2010 unprotected"

    you actually would not "take it and run"

    Got it

    Too scared to admit Oden may just become a great center of this generation and deleted your previous post. Got it.

    I quoted the wrong post and moved the comments to respond to your post. I stand by my remarks. You were the one who said you would "take it and run" and then changed it to "if Oden improves".

    Trading Parker for the package you suggested lessens the Spurs chances in 2010 and improves the Blazers.

    I would not make the trade today.

    Would you?

    These are the dumbest threads. Why would they trade a top 3 pg who gives your team the best chance to win it all next season? Just use your brain.

    It would only even start to make sense if the Spurs had no chance to win a le any more. As of now, they do. If that changes drastically, then you may consider it if you get a no brainer.

    Devin Harris of the Nets was my initial thought, but that wouldn’t make much sense because in all honesty, I’d take Harris over Parker if I were starting a team today
    This sentence alone discredits any opinion the guy has. One is a really good PG who's lightening fast. The other is a Top 3 PG, who's lightening fast, and is a Finals MVP.

    Why would you choose Harris over Parker? There is no rational reason why someone would choose Harris over Parker in any sense.

    Yea if you get a deal like that you take it and run. But again, is that realistic? Because there is a good chance we won't get a deal like that and a good chance that you'll create a distraction to the team. The Cons outweight the Pros mang.

    The only way I would trade Parker is for someone like Brook Lopez.

    What a terrible uninformed atricle! Even Portnoy, or whatever his name was, knows more about the CBA than this guy.

    anyway, anyone who wants to make an article about the spurs and the strategy they should use should at least know how to spell the name of one of their best player. G.I.N.O.B.I.L.I and not Ginobli as he wrote the whole article.

    I am confused. Brook Lopez is a good center but is racking up stats on a weak team where he is the 3rd option. On the other hand, Oden is in a position where his PER 36 is higher than Lopez's and is number 1 in the league in the Spurs' weakest department, offensive rebounding.

    Link for the blog in your OP:
    http://butthegameison.com/blog/12174...g-tony-parker/

    The blogger in question believes that if the Spurs trade two players that make a combined $13.6M for four players that make a combined $11M the result will be a $10M reduction in payroll. On a positive note, his math skills exceed his abilities to analyze NBA basketball.


    It only makes sense he's a Lakers fan.

    it lets trade Duncan too
    I bet we could get Mutumbo and McGrady from Houston!

    He's a Texas Tech student and self-proclaimed fan of the Hornets.

    http://butthegameison.com/blog/about/

    His words, not mine:

    Mark also won a Twitter contest when met up with Andre Iguodala and Rudy Gay at a Cheesecake Factory in Las Vegas, after both players summoned their followers to hunt them down.

    Mark plans on using this blog as a spring board to launch his journalism career after he graduates from college.
