Insider: Spurs making a move to acquire David West

[HoopsCzar]

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.

Possibly,..

I don't watch ESPN unless they're broadcasting a live game I want to see or I'm catching late night highlights if something spectacular was alleged to have happened on a game I wasn't watching live.

But make no doubt about it they have been known to trek in the manner I stated,..

[Chieflion]

I don't buy this. I don't think a firesale of this proportion would happen. Collusion is only possible for the Lakers.

[BRHornet45]

sons I'm not a fan of West, but to say that he is "only a jump shooter" is stupid. Offensively he is well above average and can create his own shot. Its his selfishness and lack of defense that worries me.

Son we don't need offense, defense is where it's at and this sissy cuck doesn't play D.

According to this "insider", we are giving up players who don't play defense or are just average or mediocre.

[BRHornet45]

Son we don't need offense, defense is where it's at and this sissy cuck doesn't play D.

please take him

[Chieflion]

please take him

Son, why are you acting like a pimp? David West must be a gigolo then.

[ffadicted]

Son we don't need offense, defense is where it's at and this sissy cuck doesn't play D.

You do realize the big man we're giving up is Bonner, right...?

[Muser]

Talking to the right team, wrong player.

[Muser]

You do realize the big man we're giving up is Bonner, right...?

Yes, but Bonner could be part of a package for a defensive big.

[Galileo]

well, if I'm wrong, I hope we all had fun. Please enjoy tonight's game.

Don't buy it.

He's a quality player,..

West isn't selfish and his D is only hampered by his almost always losing the height advantage on matchups to he reaches a lot.

The only success the Hornets have ever had was pretty much from CP3 and West playing a 2 man game. Players like Posey, Peja and Ely helped but CP3 and Capn West knew if they didn't produce the team didn't have a chance.

So like CP3 so too was / is West forced to take the floor knowing he better do any and all he can to put up numbers or there was no need for Hornets to even play the game,..fault that ownership not that player for that.

Makes no sense, ESPN and TNT are not owned by the same corporation. This is not a ABC/ESPN tie in.

Why not prop some of the bowl games, they get higher TV ratings than NBA regular season games between the Spurs and Heat.

No NBA basketball at all, yet the "Spurs are looking to stay hot vs Heat".

Maybe a trade for West?

That would be the best.

Spurs play things close to the vest.

Keeping up with this thread all along just for "Galileo" if iam wrong enjoy tonights game

Very true...

West could contribute more to a team if he was the 3rd scoring option. He tries to do way too much.

Wow, galileo, with all the hoopla, I forgot all about Oklahoma, thanks for the update.

I would be very happy to be proven otherwise. There is no doubt he has the Skills of an All-Star, however he seems to lack way to much character to wield those skills. Hmmm kind of like his current PG. lol

Honestly though, I can't even think that Spurs FO would be talking about this guy. He is the complete opposite of Spurs Character.

Who knows, maybe Timmy and Pop could set him strait and kill all the bad habits he has learned on the NO Hornets squad, and turn him into a real player.

[ducks]

spurs went and got sj
west has better at ude then sj

[BRHornet45]

sons its amazing to me how some 18 year old kid can think up his own trade scenario in his parents basement claiming that he has a "inside source", post it on a message board, and cause 9 pages worth of replies.

I agree! Lets get todays games started allready!!! lol

Don't buy it.

No,..

What I'm telling you is BSPN is a syndicate of opportunists that play to fantasy land sensationalism.

They prey upon the fan bases of teams with either a high expectancy, marquee player or strong history as previous winners.

All you hear from them is Kobe, Nash, LeBron, Dirk, D. Wade and every now and again you'll hear Timmy D's name brought back up. They'll always keep the Knicks in the conversation in spite of them sucking. But the Knicks is NY market so they play to that crowd to embellish them,..in spite of any stretch of championship perspective and winning basketball fans interests the Knicks aren't even an afterthought.

Where being such name flailer's BSPN play head hunter and with the Spurs -vs- Heat being the biggest name game of the night. It's not out of character nor uncommon for such an outfit to try to gin up a story,..check ball.

See knowing the Spurs fans are looking for answers it's pretty much prime time to link them with some fantasy farce trade of landing a big name to draw fans interests,..and they have a rumor mill they fleece fans to pay to read a bevy of fabricated lies.
