Read the latter part of your le..there's your answer..
Not that this is a bashing of the current roster. I still beleive we can win with this team. The problems are well pointed out by many of you guys in these forums, lack of execution, comunication and trust. I can't speak for Pop, so I'm not sure what goes on in his head. One can only wonder?
Just went to the ESPN trade machine for fun. Tell me what ya'll think?
IAN MAHINMI FOR COURTNEY LEE
New Jersey, of course must know that nothing significant is gonna happen to them this season other than mounting more losses. They get an expiring contract [not sure if it would be guaranteed or not], and the Spurs get a guy I beleive they wanted to draft either before or after George Hill. I would’ve given up Mason for him, but the numbers didn’t work. Seein how Mahinmi will likely never get a true shot in S.A. I'd say time to turn nothing into something!
Courtney Lee plays better defense than Mason, handles the ball better, and drives to the basket. The Magic were fools for trading a gifted young prospect to New Jersey. I know Vince Carter is good, but I really liked Lee as their pick. Seeing him go apparently upset Dwight Howard also.
MASON FOR GASOL (Marc)
I’d definitely pull the trigger on this one. As much as Bonner can be a defensive liability, Bonner hits more 3’s consistantly than Mason, so I would trade him and possibly a draft pick [2nd round] to Memphis for Marc Gasol to give Duncan a young center with a better PER than that which he's played with recently. Memphis gets an expiring contract that perhaps they can buy out [?], or if they wanted to keep him, they could.
Each of these trades I think could help this team improve instantly. Damn, anybody here got Peter Holt on speed dial?

The whole point being for your opinion my friend...

This would be the ultimate irony. Spurs beating the Lakers with a trade from Memphis for Marc Gasol
haha my dream trade...
Finley for Brook Lopez straight up!
lol it works

It'd be interesting to see him match up against his brother wearing siver and black.This would be the ultimate irony. Spurs beating the Lakers with a trade from Memphis for Marc Gasol
Yikes, you're right.
That would be sick to have Lopez next to Timmy.
lol this thread
How about Manu for Kobe and Mason for a bucketful of .
I would send TP for Lopez.
He's young and it could be a franchise player if he's not yet.Frontcourt with Lopez-Blair for the future could it be great.
But seriously what players we have to trade? None if you want some help in return.
Manu? We are not going to get players better than him for him right now.End the season,to offer him a new very low contract or let him to go.
Hill or Blair? How are we going to trade the only young players with future that we have?
Finley? Only garbage for him. Bonner? He's playin better than players we can get for him. Mason Jr?? He's near to be waived
The only players of the roster with trade value right now are TD and TP.
For me it's time to made a big move for the future.TP is the man to move even if we have to tank this season.I will fight for Bosh or Wade in 2010 too but we need space in the salary cap
We have a number of assets..20 mil $ in expiring contracts..
We are not the Lakers, you know.
Hill is not untouchable. Pop says he loves Hill. I gues that's true, maybe. If people around the league think Hill is having a breakout season, then let's get them on the phone.
I don't know. Trades help most teams, but with our byzantine system what assurance do we have those players wouldn't be worse? Not much. Other than over the hill veterans that Pop loves (and who don't actually help the team) what young player could we expect to survive in the Spurs system? They need to have a high BBIQ yet somehow still be young enough for us to roll the dice on them. Those two criterias almost never coincide.
, we supposedly got one of the better big men available in free agency in Dice. A guy who is supposed to be a perfect fit and he's totally scratching his head with our still complicated system.
There's a lot of talk of players learning the system. What about adapting the system to the players that we have? If the coming days get desperate, I'd rather hire another assistant coach to help with the offense then expect some new players to save the day.
The talent is here we just haven't tapped it yet.
I'd rather do a 3-way deal
Cavs get
- G Manu Ginobili from Spurs
- F Rashard Lewis from Magic
Magic get
- F Richard Jefferson from Spurs
- C Zydrunas Ilgauskas from Cavs
Spurs get
- 2011 unprotected first rounder from Cavs
- $3,000,000 cash from Magic
- F LeBron James from Cavs
- C Dwight Howard from Magic
I don't think the Spurs would go for that.
The Spurs would want another unprotected pick from the Magic and another 3 million dollars from the Cavs to do that deal. Besides, it would screw up team chemistry so the Spurs still may not do it.

mason for marc gasol.....lol hey give me a kilo of what ur smokin
Oh how much fun the trade machine is
People should be realistic in their hypotheticals.
Roger Mason for Marc Gasol? Please. And the sad thing is: Pop would still play Bonner more minutes than Gasol. But ST loves it if Bonner is hitting 3's!
You could make it a 4-way and get Wade in the deal too.Oh how much fun the trade machine is
My opinion of this thread is that it should be locked. Going to propose a trade, make it at least slightly possible. Otherwise, confine this bull to your fantasy team.
This would be the ultimate irony. Spurs beating the Lakers with a trade from Memphis for Marc GasolUsually I would think of the op as re ed when seeing topics like this but this is funOh how much fun the trade machine is
I have never been to the trade site but after seeing some of the possibilities, it looks like a good way to fantasize you way through boredom
Keep em coming!
