Thank God you're not RC
fellas.... as a laker fan and a strong supporter of the laker vs spurs rivalry... I would suggest the following. IF it happens
trade mcdyss, ginobili and jefferson for expirings and fillers (i.e. tracy mcgrady) and go into the running for dwade next season. If you do land wade the spurs will have the best back court in the NBA. And thats something the lakers are lacking....
with a big 3 of wade, duncan, and parker.... you can build your forwards and centers around them easily.....
just a suggestion and if I was RC im sure this would have crossed my mind... duncan and pop are not going anywhere for the next 3 years

2 shoot-first SG in PG bodies and a near-mummified 4 would be a good core to build on? Duncan has been this team's spine since he arrived... but you can't build a guy who looks to have about 3 years left in the tank.
We're not falling for this, Laker Fan.
I was thinking something of the gasol magnitude. How about mahinmi and haislip for bynum and kobe. Straight up. We can have pop and RC get your GM tipsy and have the contract right there for him to sign.A toast to that one.
with wade and parker and duncan coming off in books in 2 years after this season another free agency of centers and forwards will be available....
marc gasol, andrew bynum, pau gasol, greg oden, joakim noah, is just an expample
soo.... a fan from another team cant have a positive opinion about another fan team.... is this how it works here??? if so can i stamp HOMER across your forhead
Since you're not a Spurs fan, I'll hep you to the reality that FAs avoid SA. That's why we draft strong: we kinda have to.
also duncan is more than just a spine HE IS THE TEAM.... i can forsee him taking a David Robinson role in his twilight years
I sure hope not, because if Duncan's production drops like David's did in his last couple years, then we're really ed.
That's just it, holmes : these are his twilight years. Hence Holt's spending spree this summer.
How would this "definitely" put us over the top? You don't think a healthy Manu+RJ = Wade's production? Wade's also injury prone as well.
thats a load of .... dont pull that small market crap "no one wants to come here etc"... SA is the best city and town for certain NBA players to lead a quality life... IN peace and quiet and not all paparzzi bound like LA and NY. dont get me wrong some players are bound for that but Wade is the type of guy who likes to win and has a strong christian background who prolly wouldnt mind playing with 2 future HOF's and live comfortably in Texas nice weather....
Believe me Ive been to SA many times for work and leisure....
okay over the top might be excessive but defeinatelly in the running if land another center or PF that can take the load off of duncan....
and are you kidding me? WADE>>>>>Manu+RJ wade is injury prone becuase he is the load of that team as well..
That's great you dig SA, but I will give you that small market crap. NBA is a young man's league. Grown men appreciate it's charms, but 90% of the yoots are more interested in nightlife/culture/glamour/etc, particularly if they are even remotely of star-caliber.
he wont drop like david but his presence is a still a great impact on the game itself.... and to be honest with you David was still very productive in the 03 season. at least from a laker fan persepective... you guys beat us that year
1) This would never happen
2) Spurs fans are ridiculous if they are saying they would not do this. If the Spurs would be guaranteed Wade in FA if they did this, it would be a no brainer.
So you're suggesting we somehow cut loose of RJ's contract before this offseason. Any suggestions?
Before disparaging your fellow fans, see item 1.
I was actually just kidding, but I still don't see how this is positive, let alone possible, for the Spurs.
Wade is a of a player, but he still doesn't equal the production of three very good players. If you move Dice and Jefferson, suddenly you have huge gaps to fill in the front line, even if the Spurs did manage to land Wade.
Besides, when Ginobili is healthy and playing well, he provides Wade-esque production by himself. Pretty sure the Spurs haven't completely given up on those days yet.
Furthermore, if the Spurs drop three of their better players for filler this year, you might as well go ahead and take them out of contention. I don't think the front office is looking to sacrifice 1 of Tim Duncan's 3 years left just for a shot at landing a player they probably won't get in the first place.
But since there's absolutely no way the Spurs would be guaranteed Wade in FA, nor is there any reasonable way for us to shed RJ's contract, you're being ridiculous.
so the city of Austin 6th street, warehouse district 1604 nightlife, riverwalk, and nearby cities of Dallas and Houston are not enough party life for these young guys....LOL
Kanye West just bought a a skyscraper condo out in Austin and the city is only 60 miles away.....
i even saw Tony Parker at Howl at the Moon having with other players i knew one of em was Ronny Turiaf

Exactly how much time do you think players have to devote to commutes?
ya I know its a risk but Wade only other options are Chicago, Miami, and New York... everyone else doesnt have the pieces or is over the cap...
also Ginobili and Dyss for Tmacgrady is an option the spurs might want to think about you can still court Wade if RC pulls the trigger on that
really what is jefferson PER this season.... is that really wirth 14 million over two years....
15.3 for those of you dont know... even at this point Ginobili has a better PER
