CDR would reach depths of Pop's doghouse never seen before.
Dude, do really want to nuzzle my nuts over this? All I said was that I prefer Jamison over Butler. Yes, of course I have seen Jamison play and your claim that Jamison is a worse defender than Bonner is laughable and citing a Wizards fan message board as evidence is almost not worth responding to. Almost.
If the fans on a Wizards message board are half the irrational, hysterical, poor assessors of talent as the nitwits on Spurstalk are, then I will trust my own eyes and instincts on this one, thanks.
Oh, and to reiterate, I never suggested that the Spurs trade for Jamison.
Are you ready to let this one go now?
CDR would reach depths of Pop's doghouse never seen before.
Can CDR D-UP anyone? Then yes.
+1
CDR is Ron Mercer 2.0.
the article states that CDR has been running his mouth a lot, but what else would lead to him being in the doghouse, his defense, shot selection, etc
and he's a bad 3pt shooter
Twitter.
Chris Douglas-Roberts: This repuation of me being a jerk is growing so fast & it’s so false. Articles can really make a fan think a certain way.That’s sad. O well..
I haven't watched the Nets too much this year, but I followed them and went to a lot of games last year..he was very solid last year on both ends of the floor..he can't shoot, but he's a very good slasher and was a very solid passer last year..it looks like his game really regressed from last season..
Vince Carter was his mentor and Frank had him playing a different role, so I guess that could have a part in it..
He wouldn't fit here though..I'm fine with his personality, but his game wouldn't translate since he can't shoot..
According to 82games, his jump shot eFG% is .398. Yup, its pretty low.
True, until Pop signs him as a free agent about five years from now and makes him a starter.
Fixed...

It's likely nothing more than some speculation but...There are plenty of rumors being tossed around, such as Salmons to Orlando for J.J. Re and Anthony Johnson; or Salmons to San Antonio for Michael Finley and Matt Bonner.
ill take salmons for bonner and finley... lmao that would be ing money
Salmons for Finley and Bonner would be a no brainer for the Spurs.
If that played out, I would then call GS and offer Mason/Mahimni's expiring for Turiaf.
for Turkoglu then.
Damn how I wish this could happen....I wanted Bonner/Finley for Salmons last season during this time..
Unfortunately, I just read that Dunleavey, if the player(s) coming back are significant enough, won't hesitate to pull the trigger on a trade now. What this means is that the Clippers will likely use Camby's expiring contract, not for the type of assets the Spurs have to offer in return, but to add a player such as Butler.
At this point, I'd say the best that can be hoped for would be Mason, Bonner, Mahinmi (maybe a draft pick as well) for Thomas and Pargo. Even then, I'm skeptical. The Bulls can probably do better for Thomas, if not in a straight up trade, then by putting him into a package to net a significant player in return.
For the Spurs, significant improvement looks like it'll have to come in the form of Splitter, plus whatever they can acquire for Jefferson's expiring contract in the off season/before the '11 trade deadline (of course, there is the outside chance that he miraculously plays half decent in year two with the team).
I loved CDR before the draft and how he's played has proven he was worth a first round pick (though I'm happy with Hill).
BUT
As I've posted in various Mahinmi-related threads . . . CDR is a guy who is a horrible practice player. Pop would doghouse him guaranteed, even if he never opened his mouth.
SO now that stoudemire isn't going to opt out, wouldn't they save money if we traded them Jefferson? Throw in mason and the rights to splitter...
...and Stoudemire changes his mind and opts out anyway, so we lose Jefferson, Mason, and Splitter for half a season of Stoudemire. No thanks. If they'd do it without Splitter, that's something to talk about.
Yet we will be able to sign a free agent of the 2010 class...
How about Bonner/Finley for Salmons
and then we trade Roger Mason Jr/Ian Mahinimi and another filler if they want it to Washington for Haywood. Washington get back a player they like in Roger Mason Jr. and a young prospect in Mahinimi. You could even throw in Splitter too.
Spurs new starting 5:
Haywood
Duncan
RJ
Salmons
Parker
Just an example of a couple of smaller trades that can make a BIG difference. Now how do we get those teams to do it?
where is the 'jump of cliff' smilie?
I will use that if the Spurs get Haywood
Marc Stein quoting Dunleavy and the Clips' plan on Camby -
Dunleavy and Olshey have assembled a core that features young cornerstones Blake Griffin and Eric Gordon, vets Chris Kaman and Baron Davis, frontcourt project DeAndre Jordan … and significant salary-cap space this summer if they don't bring back Marcus Camby.
In an interview Thursday with ESPN Radio's L.A. tandem of John Ireland and Steve Mason, Dunleavy also suggested that the Clippers will be looking to make a trade for a top player before the Feb. 18 trading deadline as opposed to waiting for free agency.
"I think if you're given that opportunity, a bird in the hand is the way to go," Dunleavy told Mason and Ireland. "That would be my recommendation, because you just never know. There's too many variables in an offseason. … I'm a firm believer that, given the opportunity to make a good deal that is going to make your team significantly better, do it now. Do it when you can."
The Clips know first-hand how fast things can change in free agency. They won't soon forget the summer of 2008, when Davis signed on to play for his hometown team thinking he'd be teaming up with Elton Brand, only for Brand to sign with Philadelphia.
And Dunleavy's words will only encourage the various Western Conference playoff teams, such as San Antonio and Portland, that have tried without success since last season to convince the Clippers to part with Camby in trade talks.
Said Dunleavy of being restricted to front-office duties after starting the season as the NBA's third longest-tenured coach behind Utah's Jerry Sloan and San Antonio's Gregg Popovich: "The franchise has never been in a better position as far as [having] a nucleus of young talent [along with] expiring contracts coming up this summer. … I feel really good. I feel good because I know the state of the franchise. The state of the franchise is terrific."

If we were to somehow get Salmons for only Bonner/Finley would anyone be willing to include Splitter to get Haywood? I think you try and get Salmons first and then go for Haywood by including Splitter if that is what it takes.
I think that would be a deadly starting 5. Then you got Manu, Hill, Blair, McDyess off the bench.
