Again, you want the Spurs to hold a gun to these teams heads if they turn down the Spurs offers?
Im curious to as why people think making trades are so easy.
Well, if thats true, all the teams that surround the Spurs seem to be getting stronger and we seem to be stuck in neutral. In a couple weeks, we could be on the outside looking in.

LOL Rockets apparently gave up Landry..
Martin looks horrible this year and he's a defensive liability..they're gonna be banking heavy on him returning to form..
...and the worst season in Duncan era gets more f'ed up by the hour.
But don't worry, Eric B still thinks we got a shot.
Tyrus Thomas for that piece of crap Al Harrington? Seriously? WTF?!?!?
Harrington with 27 pts. tonight against Bulls probably sealed it.
No, I don't blame any team for turning down the Spurs offer; They have to offer. However, If they didn't have RJ's contract to worry about, a trade would have been much easier to procure. As things stand right now, the spurs can't do anything but go bargain hunting. The problem is regardless of any trade the Spurs manage to pull off, it won't make them a contender.
That's a good move by the Kings. Build around Tyreke Evans. Get under the cap to allow you to make a splash in free agency by selling the young core to free agents. Plus you add Carl Landry (who is a beast) to a young core of Evans/Casspi/Hawes/Thompson.
Kevin Martin makes sense if Yao Ming can get healthy. But right now? Kevin Martin + Aaron Brooks + Trevor Ariza...that's going to get ugly with only one ball to go around.
That guys been traded more than anyone over the past couple years (besides Drew Gooden).
Wow, watching Hibbert once again dominate the interior on the spurs wouldn't it be nice if the spurs could phanagle a trade w/ him.
Mavs played surprisingly good w/ two new guys in the starting lineup. That's scary.
...and watch Pop give him a seat on the bench next to Ian in favor of small ball? No thanks.
nah i'd take hibbert any day
I'm surprised that Bulls have been able to dump Salmons for expiring. He is a good player but I thought that Bulls wouldn't be able to trade him that easily.
I'm not sure if the Salmons trade is a good or bad news for Spurs.
If Spurs plan was to low ball Bulls to get Salmons+Thomas for expiring, then it's a bad news.
If Salmons was a true deal breaker, then it's a good news. Spurs can now talk with Bulls about Thomas without Salmons being included.
It looks like now that it appears that the Bulls aren't involved in the T-Mac deal, that the Thomas' deal might come down to the Knicks and Spurs, at least according to the rumors..a package involving Harrington-TT and Jerome James or maybe Mason-1st pick for Thomas?..
I guess it could be possible that the Lakers might still try to get a 3-way done for Hinrich and Thomas might be involved by going to another team..
My guess is that if the Spurs want Thomas, he can be had..the Bulls desperately need a wing right now, and Roger Mason would fit that role for them..he's obviously not a star or anything, but he would be a good stop-gap for the Bulls right now..
good news would be, if the Knicks pull the trigger on a big trade with the Kings without involving the Bulls.
but my guess is, they still work on something along this line.
however, the Bulls are now very very thin in the back court, but I assume they still want to make the PO.
(they should also because any superstar FA will be more interested in joining a PO team).
so good news is, the Bulls lack something the Spurs can offer.
I'm sure the Bulls will wait till last second, before they decide about TT.
the price will still be a 1st rounder. Spurs could still make an offer.
Dallas, Portland, Houston just upgraded. Spurs should do something.
From the trade speculation thread [Objective]
The Bulls weren't desperate to dump Tyrus, they can renounce him this summer to get more cap room if the want. He was just supposed to be the bait to get someone to take Salmons off their hands.
Now that the Bucks did them a favor, there's no good reason to dump him unless they want picks.
All indications here in NY are that they desperately want to get in on the McGrady deal, obviously for good reason..
Also, there have been reports that they want Thomas because D'Antoni apparently likes him, but everybody here knows that D'Antoni and Harrington don't get a long at all, so it's more than likely a move just so they can get rid of Harrington..so I don't think they want Thomas that badly, but I obviously could be wrong..
So as mountainballer said, we should be hoping that the Knicks get in on the McGrady deal..
Source of your rumors? Espn and yahoo have both said knicks will try to get in on the deal to take tmac..
EDIT: my bad, thought you said the Knicks aren't involved!
Also, sources said harrington would not be part of the deal.. it would be jeffries, hughes and maybe hill and some pick..
me and hh37 have different gueses, true. Doesn't mean I'm right, I thought there was no way Bonner would ever start another game without injuries to others.
Tomorrow will clear up who's where.
That's what I just said..the Knicks really want McGrady..
Now ESPN is saying that Sacramento wants Hinrich from Chicago in the McGrady deal..
This is all getting confusing now..I guess we're just gonna have to wait until it's all official..
Harrington is the proposed deal for Tyrus Thomas according to all the rumors, which is what I just said..
For some reason, I believe Pop when he said we're not trading. I hope he's lying or wrong, cuz i think TT will be a big upgrade here. However, doesn't really seem like anything is happening.
Again, hope im wrong!
Made my EDIT above.. thought you said Knicks weren't involded buddy.. No worries
Seeing as how the asset value the Bulls got in return for Salmons was basically nothing more than expiring contracts (Alexander+Warrick), it's hard to understand WHY the Spurs and Bulls couldn't strike a deal.
Could it be the Spurs were trying to low-ball the Bulls?
This is just speculation, but knowing the Spurs were also in talks with the Heat on a possible trade, maybe the Spurs felt they had an inside track on dumping their player (Mason) in exchange for a trade exception? In essence, they were trying to simply sell one of their own players for cash, without having to take back a player at all.
Either way, it sucks!
