The Rockets are asking for a heck of a lot to basically eat Jared Jeffries' contract.
If the Spurs want to cull the herd while adding a lottery talent, something like Jeffries, Jordan Hill and cash for RMJ, Bonner and Finley could work.
Steve Kyler of Hoopsworld:
"Hearing San Antonio is being aggressive… willing to move Roger Mason Jr., Antonio McDyess and Richard Jefferson for the right parts. Finding limited interest, but League sources say they expect the Spurs to trigger at least one deal and could get involved with some of the deals being kicked around if a nice spare piece can fall their way…"

what would it take to get these guys via trade with expirings
al jefferson
hakim warrick
tyrus thomas/salmons
david west
amare
beasley
jamison
I'm thinking right now of a trade that I think is reasonable and maybe could happen if the FO try it.
It's this:
Spurs acquire:
Jax
Salmons
Ty Thomas
Chicago acquire
Jefferson
Felton
Flip Murray
Charlotte acquire
Kirk Hinrich
Mason
Bonner
maybe the hardest part would be to convince the cats, but chicago is shopping all those players
Good lord why would Charlotte do that?
Wojnarowski of Yahoo just now:
"Around the NBA, some team officials are privately wondering: After listening to San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich disparage them over Pau Gasol’s trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, would the Memphis Grizzlies be hesitant on making a deal with the Spurs?
After all, veteran shooter Roger Mason is available in San Antonio and Memphis needs some scoring off its bench. Yes, sources say, the Grizzlies do have an interest with Mason and have the cap space to absorb much of his $3.7 million salary. But a league source says Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace still needs the OK from owner Michael Heisley to take on the contract.
Mason has fallen out of the Spurs’ rotation and the organization is working with his agent, Mark Bartelstein, to find a trade."

Trades That Should Be Made
… but GMs won’t do, of course.
Ginobili-Jefferson-Hill/Hinrich-Thomas/John Salmons trade
The Specifics: The Bulls get George Hill, Richard Jefferson, Manu Ginobili and Ryan Gomes; the Spurs get Tyrus Thomas, Kirk Hinrich, Jerome James and Damien Wilkins; and the Timberwolves get John Salmons.
Why It Works:
• For the Bulls: One major thing is that Chicago would finally be able to stop from having Thomas to repeatedly jerk around and he them. Getting Hill to pair as a combo guard with Derrick Rose would be a threatening backcourt of speed and strength, while Manu would give Chicago another threat to score and distribute for a short amount with his expiring contract, giving the Bulls more flexibility in the summer and a good look at whether Manu can do damage for them in seasons to come. R.J. could get the chance to blossom with a less systematic offense and provide the Bulls the slashing scorer that they’ve thought Luol Deng would be become. Ryan Gomes would be comp for Deng and James Johnson to step on the perimeter and low-post.
• For the Spurs: San Antonio gets much-needed shot-blocking and athleticism from Thomas, but Thomas gets a franchise mature enough to grow him up as a still-young 23-year-old, next to the immortal Tim Duncan; paired with DeJuan Blair, the duo could be an elite rebounding frontcourt. Getting Hinrich would give San Antone a reliable backcourt threat with Tony Parker or behind him. James would likely just sit on the bench, as the Spurs would wait for his contract to expire, and Wilkins could provide some good minutes as a defender and spot-up shooter.
• For the T’wolves: Minnesota would be able to get an adequate rotation player and scorer in Salmons, while putting pressure on some of the team’s young wings to develop and flourish as well. Letting go of Ryan Gomes would relieve some of the pressure in the stacked frontcourt as well.
Wheres the puke icon for Damien Wilkens.....
to help us
larry brown and pop are friends, they are not going to win it all this year, so they help us now and maybe we can return the favor in the near future
Yuck, that's terrible. The Spurs got worse in almost every position. RJ is sucking it up but not that much.
Where's the puke icon for that entire trade.
^ horrible trade idea
The trade suggestions from fans and bloggers alike keep getting worse and worse. Must take a shot and keep telling myself, "Less than 24 hours left..."

They are trying to make the playoffs.
Charlotte has zero reason to help the Spurs.
Please, use your noggin.
The Grizzlies aren't winning it all this year, and they're getting one year closer to having to pay Gasol big money to keep him. By the time they build their team up to contention status, they'll be forced to start paying their expiring rookie deal players big money.
I wonder what it would take to pry Gasol away from them, in addition to Splitter. We need a good center now, they need one later. The fact that Gasol is really proving himself and Splitter is unproven (in the NBA) might make a trade more difficult. I wonder if Mason, Ian and Splitter's rights would be enough? Maybe a 1st rounder and cash also.
This trade would also help the Grizzlies tank to get a better pick this year.
That trade sucks so much ass its incredible.............RJ, Manu and Hill? WTF????
ban that writer for that article
Drew Gooden's expiring deal, WTF?
Why dont we just toss in Timmy for heavens sake............
Jerome James
Will you pray with me son? I have already begun to fast.
Jerome James after the Sonics beat the Spurs in Game 3 or 4 of the 05' 2nd Round: "I don't give em' no respect! None!"Jerome James
lets be real nothing is going down
