Insider: Spurs making a move to acquire David West

[anonoftheinternets]

lol BUMP left...

[jrmp317]

if the Hornets make this move, Chris Paul demands a trade and effectively kills basketball in New Orleans. No way this move happens, even with how bad they are hurting financially.

[BUMP]

I'll admit i'm a little worried about this if it falls through.

West competely owns the Mavs on the offensive side, but the Spurs still have to many weapons on the offensive end. Who's gonna take the shots?

[phyzik]

I dont want this trade to happen but those who are saying its impossible and no way the Hornets would do it need to take a real good look at the situation in NO. They are strapped for cash big time and are desperately trying to free up some space on the books.

cmon dude we all know its your troll .. quit it already you look silly

[Muser]

Thank god this is a troll.

[superbigtime]

Hmm interesting. It would put Blair in the cold though. And Mason has been playing really well lately. But I sure don't mind losing Finley and Bonner. Basically just sacrificing Mason who probably is not a long term prospect.

The only problem I have with this trade is that it is depleting SA of their best 3 pt shooters..

[lotr1trekkie]

Trade would be an upgrade on the first unit if West were playing the #3 and Jefferson moved to the bench with Manu, Dice, and George. I really don't understand how it makes sense to add more O unless you have another move in mind. Tim needs another BIG to help like Rasho did. Big body and 5 fouls to give.

Maybe but Bonner is useless, and Hill needs to be playing more and more and Mason only takes away from that scenario. Finley is Finley and is not in anybody's future plans.

If this deal falls through then I expect the Hornets to waive him outright

lol bump stop it you look desperate to keep this thread going. Youve been called out jus man up and try another day.

[spectator]

alright, this deal prob wont happen; but if it does and the spurs bring splitter next year, can you imagine our frontline: Duncan/West | Splitter/McDyess

on a scale from 1 to tiger woods # of mistresses

this would be awesome! come on!!!

I thought today was December 31st not April 1st.

[mexicanjunior]

I'm sure this thread is bogus but I would be all for this trade...

[Ginobili2Duncan]

The Spurs do not need another scorer they need another big man who can take pressure off of TD defending the opposition's best post player, and another bigman besides Duncan who can block and alter shots in the lane, West doesn't do any of this. Like someone else said I would much rather have Okafor.

[DesignatedT]

gimme gimme gimme

[eisfeld]

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

Anyone claiming to be an insider and not finishing his posts with "Chow Jonathan" can't be taken seriously. Sorry...

[Libri]

IIRC, West was having problems with his back.

[sonic21]

overrated.
Black hole in offense.
No D
Soft

no thanks

[Spursmania]

West's D sucks and he's lazy. But put him on a contender team and I bet he changes his at ude on D real quick.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Replace Mason with Bogans and Ian and I would do it.

[rascal]

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.

Unbelievable people still would not make this trade. What do you want? Good players for nothing!!
