I wish
o all--
I am good friends with a Spurs Insider, and I have heard that San Antonio is working on a deal that would send the contracts of Roger Mason Jr, Matt Bonner, and Michael Finley to New Orleans in exchange for F David West.
The Spurs would acquire a guy to complement Tim Duncan on the offensive end, and the Hornets would be saving $9 million.
This deal is expected to be announced within the next few days, but there is possibility of third team involved.
Take it for what its worth
-L$
New Orleans would never go for that for an All-Star caliber player. Sounds like more wishful thinking.
I'm not that impressed by West. I don't really think he's that much better than Boozer, and I don't like Boozer at all. He also seems like a , and not Spurs material. He's not a defender or a shot blocker.
That being said, the price is right.
Trade works in the trade machine. Wouldn't be completely crazy for either team, neither. New Orleans gets a few veteran players (and more Spurs leftovers) and shakes things up a bit, Spurs get a quality bigman beside Duncan.
That being said, I don't buy it. Just can't see the Spurs parting with three of their sharp-shooters. This team is reliant upon putting shooters around Tim. While having West in the system is tempting, it's not worth getting rid of so much corporate knowledge and further draining a backcourt that is already struggling to produce.
Uh, they were hours from salary dumping Chandler last year. The team is in financial trouble, and all transactions won't necessarily be to put the best team on the floor.
I'd rather have Okafor, even if the price were higher.
There was an article in the NBA forum saying they might be forced to move David West. They are looking to take some money off the books. No one is going to take on Peja's massive contract, they will never give up CP3, everyone else on the team is something other teams dont need, that pretty much leaves David West.
Having said that, I dont think I want to give up Money Mase just yet so I hope it doesnt happen.
This doesn't help at all, we already have a load of offense.
We have a cheaper version of him in mcdyess, what we need is a shotblocking big and west just doesn't fit that need.
I heard them talking about this deal on the radio the other day.
We'd finally have somebody to matchup with Nowitski and make him work on the defensive end.
I like this deal![]()
But he slapped Nowitski, and thats always an A+ in my book.
I like it, but there is no way the Hornets are pulling this off.
Sounds good to me.
Hairston probably likes this deal.
I have two friends who work for the Spurs and have not heard this. They usually have all the gossip. I don't post it on here because I don't want to look like an idiot when it doesn't happen.
to a division rival? are you kidding me? NO would be crazy to do it; if they move west, it's going to be either to an eastern conference team or receive better talent than what the spurs have to offer.
the spurs would do this deal in a heartbeat. finley and mason are not part of their long term planning; we would lose bonner's 3 point, but west has can shoot a long 2, plus he is an athletic PF that the spurs haven't had since rose.
, I forgot about that.
OK, he gets a few more points.
cmon BUMP ..you gotta try harder than that.... youre slipping
actually youre not slipping this sounds about right for you.
youre watching the page, arent you going to come clean that this is your troll? especially since uve been called out so easily?
