Insider: Spurs making a move to acquire David West

[ducks]

if mason plays no minutes you might know something is up

[Libri]

So who would be the Hornets starting PF? Bonner? Songaila?

The Hornets have a tough schedule, especially in February and March. Maybe they have already decided that it's going to be difficult to make the playoffs and would rather get a high draft pick.

I come away for an hour and this thread has got 8 pages. Say it ain't so...

R U kidding? This is like the NFL draft, you go for value not for posi ion.

In the NBA, if you can get a 29 year old all-star (and big man) for two 29-year old role players (one injured) and a player ready to retire, then you do that in a heartbeat.

We can find another three point shooting role player later, if necessary, they are a dime a dozen. You don't worry about like this when you can get a steal. Sort of like nabbing a rook for a pawn or two in chess. West is a good jump shooter anyway.

He is only as good as he is because he plays with Paul. He is not a good defender and his rebounding numbers aren't that good for someone that is playing 35 MPG. Once you decrease his minutes on our front line and get him away from a PG that is constantly setting him up he doesn't become much more effective than Matt Bonner in our system...and he surely won't equal the production of Bonner and Mason in a 20 MPG role. Not to mention he has well chronicled at ude problems.

Sorry, I just don't see it being a good fit.

David West's D isn't worse than either Bonner's, Mason's or Finley's so they cancel each other out.

I agree With You 100% .... Was Just sayin that Coming To A contender Doesnt necessarily Motivate all guys To Play out of Character....

Chris Paul would immediately request a TRADE CALL BS

[lurker23]

4 TEAM BLOCKBUSTER TRADE

Spurs Recieve
- Marcus Camby
- Marcus Landry (Filler)

Clippers Receive
- Al Harrington
- Nate Robinson
- Marcus Haislip (Filler)

Rockets Receive
- Eddy Curry
- Michael Finley
- Ian Mahinmi

Knicks Receive
- Tracy McGrady
- Matt Bonner
- Ricky Davis

Rockets want to get rid of Tracy and the Knicks want to get rid of Nate Robinson. Here is how you do it! Already checked it out on the ESPN Trade Machine, it works. The best part of this deal is that every single player involved is on the last year of their contract, except Marcus Haislip, who has two years.

Go ahead, check it out on the ESPN Trade Machine. GET IT DONE R.C! GET CAMBY!

Why would the Rockets trade McGrady's expiring contract for Eddy Curry's albatross of a contract? I know they want rid of him, but I think they'd much rather just let him sit out the year than take on longer, useless contracts.

None of this explains the odd message on the ESPN TV scroll. Or the other trade rumors. Or CIA Pop. Or the trade machine data.

ESPN's interns googled it, returned a couple of hits and started to 'scroll' it before they realized that their "source" was a bunch of jerkoffs on two boards. They then pulled it from the scroll (if it was ever there in the first place)

[Xylus]

David West to the Spurs would sure as amp up the Spurs-Mavs rivalry.

They then pulled it from the scroll (if it was ever there in the first place)

It's been there for at least two hours.

Told you Murph,..

See all BSPN did was fleeced their pay access " Insiders ". By fabricating a false story both off of and after I'd stated what the Spurs need by position.

Here's what they embellished,. http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142505

No?,..look at the team, skills set position and time frame.

Galileo, you can find that same news article I posted atop the mavs fan forum.

Don't you think that the timing of this trade thread and this article are a little too coincidental?

If you read that post, their are just too many similarities.

Espn didn't fabricate the story, a mav's troll made it up. I never saw what Galileo was referring to on the tv scroll. I suspect it was nothing more than a prop for tonights tilt between the heat and the spurs on TNT.

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

sons a positive note about West is that he has owned Dirk head to head in the last couple of years. Dirk is still scared less of him ever since he punked him out for the he is ...
