So he's on the Clippers,..
It's noted you're totally evading offering any reasonable offer the Spurs could make to the Clippers to pull it off,..
I can see that happening since defense wins games. If it can help to stretch the lead than by all means.

the third team involved better be handing us a perimeter shooter. And then the spurs can sign melvin ely and morris almond. We would be unstoppable.
What third team?
From all indications and factors this trade is a hoax that ain't gonna happen,..
Eh, I'll believe it when I see it.
Hoax.
I used to be a believer in camby. But he's too fragile. He's hurt way too much.
One of the 3 lead stories on the ESPN TV scroll said; "Spurs look to stay hot versus Heat."
This is very odd, not one of the three biggest sports stories of the day. I saw this earlier and thought I missed something like a trade. But no, that's all it said.
So maybe the trade is done but the scroller had to wait?
Yeah, your probably right. Sounds to good to be true. Besides, the spurs would lose a lot of perimeter fire power.
*sigh*
They look to stay hot because they've won 3 in a row.
Overrated David Westette ??????
no.......
Jump shooter
Jump Shooter
Sometimes he drives to the basket, but that's because 85% of NBA power forwards are ty defenders
Misleading thread... I don't understand how anyone believes this is even something that both sides would do.
Lots of NBA teams win 3 in a row. This is nowhere near the top 3 sports stories of the day. How about Tiger losing a sponsorship and the Leach case. Or the Sun Bowl and the other bowl games. Or Wisconsin vs Ohio State in college basketball.
This is not even a top 3 NBA story. It is on TNT that's it. They televise games all the time.
I am talking about "The Lead".
Do you guys remember David West quitting against the Spurs in the playoffs? He let Janero Pargo carry the load while he sulked.
West has some at ude problems. Probably not Spurs material.
The spurs like to do everything behind closed doors. They wouldn't let a story like this leak out.
Kind of off topic here, but a couple of the comments about Ratliff in this thread are pretty odd. I agree with Phila_Chamberlain: I would've thought that anyone who has seen Theo play this year, plus taken into account Pop's defensive and personnel strategies, would have easily put two and two together and seen that Ratliff is going to be a pretty big part of what the Spurs are doing come late March through the playoffs. (Barring a trade that brings in another defensive-minded big man.)
Theo and Bogans in the starting line-up in the playoffs though? They'd be too much of an offensive liability if you ask me. Only way I'd see that happening is if Pop decides to also move Mase/Manu in place of Bogans.
Look at the schedule, genius. It's a slow NBA day -- the Spurs' streak is the biggest story for all the teams playing.
What does this have to do with a trade for David West?
the Spurs can't be dumb enough to do this lol
Now the lead is down to two top stories in all of sports today:
1) Tiger getting dumped by AT & T.
2) "Spurs try to stay hot versus Heat"
There must be a trade! West is coming to town!!
West is an all-star with a jump shot! A big man who can battle the Fakers front line!
Duncan/West/Blair/Dice upfront w/ Rat in reserve.
Parker/Hill at Point.
Swing men:
Jefferson/Manu/Bogans/Hairston/Haislip
# 5 for Tim and CIA Pop!!!!!
It looks like the lead scroll had a line before it about a big trade. They took off the trade part and left the part about playing the Heat.
West is undoubtedly a very talented offensive player, who is in his prime. However, he's a piece of on the defensive end and has a quirky, egotistical at ude that wouldn't fly here. And I do remember him quitting on his team a few times in the past. From that standpoint, I just don't think he's a good fit.
I do understand the need to upgrade the PF position, but the Spurs could use those trade assets for something else.
