So Splitter is staying in Europe, huh?
1st move:
Sign and trade David Lee
Eddy Curry
for
Tony Parker
Richard Jefferson
Spurs get a 15 plus and 10 big men
and an expiring contract
2nd move
sign either John Salmons of Josh Howard for part of MLE.
3rd move
sign a veteran big man, and vet PG
Shaq? Dampier? Big Z?
Earl Watson? Steve Blake?
Then maybe swing the Curry contract for someone like Ben Gordon who is a great and willing 6th man.
George Hill/Steve Blake
Ginobli/Ben Gordon
Josh Howard
David Lee
Duncan/Big Z

Pass... Parker + Jefferson for Lee and Curry? I'd rather trade those two for Kaman and Baron Davis.
No way...
Parker has to stay.
The truth is that we have no other way to get better without trading away Parker. The team we have is undersized, lacks defensive quickness and 3 point shooters....you don't fill any of those needs by keeping Parker or RJ. I think Bonner is a solid backup, as is Blair....so you keep them; neither would get you anything of their value in return. Duncan, Manu, Hill are staying.
So basically you get a three-way trade that gets you back something like Bosh and a backup pg, then trade draft pick and splitter or McDyess for a solid 3 point shooting sf like Anthony Morrow.
If you never seen Morrow he is a rookie, check him out:

Guys like Morrow are who we need to go after.

TP + RJ scenario should give us sth to enhance our bench/rotation/size/open shots...
Keep Bonner? Are you kidding? Dude is non-existent every PO. For the love of god if he's a rotation guy for us next year, I'm going to lose my ing mind.
I like David Lee but he's really undersized. We need another legitimate 7 footer with good D, next to Duncan. Josh Howard? Dude is not Spurs material. I like Ben Gordon but why would the Pistons take Eddy "Underachiever" Curry for one of the best scorers/shooter in the league. This fails on so many levels.
nah
1. Sign Splitter.
2. RJ+Hill+Blair for Bosh.
I really don't understand posters here that think HIll is a PG. He isn't and is so far from being one that it isn't even worth the discussion. There are numerous posts to that effect. He's a combo at best playing very limited minutes at pg. He's a SG and that will be his focus. Temple will be given a shot at backup PG come training camp unless the Spurs make a trade during the off season and get a vet one like Blake.
And as Darkwaters stated - What about Splitter? He's coming next year from all that I've heard and needs to be plugged into the formula.
You can definitely get better without trading Tony
#1 Bring over Tiago Splitter
#2 TP returns healthy having not played in Worlds
#3 the 20th pick in the deepest draft in quite some time rather we use it or trade it - in this draft if your FO really is good at scouting it will show as there will be more contributors from 15th pick on than in quite sometime
#4 Blair and Hill will be better in 2nd and 3rd year respectively
#5 Just 1 guy from the group of Temple, Hairston, Gee, Jerrels, De Colo, Gist, etc and whoever is drafted become part of reg rotation (almost guaranteed 1 of these guys is ready and wouldn't be suprised if 2 guys become contributors)
I am sure there are others - such as RJ and McDyess having more corporate knowledge and chemistry with the guys or simply addition through subtraction (see R. Mason)
so is De Colo coming to the spurs. seems like he could be a Manu type player in a few years.
Excellent take. Couldn't agree more.
I'm glad your not GM of the spurs because you would destroy the franchise.
NIce I like just add:
#6 find a 3pt shooter in draft or a cheap veteran free agent.
hahahahahha
how much $$ do you have in your plans
.. parker is going no where ..
Morrow has already played two seasons, so he's not a rookie and he's an SG who can only play SF when matchups dictate. On top of that, the Warriors consider him to be part of their core, they'd have no use for McDyess, considering they're a re-building team and he's entering his final season and Splitter is too much to give up for Morrow. It's a lot more difficult to find a big like Splitter than it is a guard like Morrow.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs acquired a lesser version of Morrow, though, namely Cook. He can be had for virtually nothing since he fell out of favor last season and the Heat are desperate to free up as much cap space as possible. He's coming off a terrible season, but he's young, athletic and affordable at $2,169,856 for next season, with a qualifying offer for $3,126,764 the following season.
Even though the ideal thing to do would be to find a proven veteran to provide 3D, I could see the Spurs going with Cook, Hairston, their 1st round pick (I'm assuming it will be an SF) and potentially Gee. Just throwing a bunch of names into the mix and hoping to get production out of 1-2. Unless they draft James or Pondexter, who are seniors, don't look for that production to come from the draft (at least not next season). Gee is a long shot who's probably destined to spend another season in the D-League barring something unforeseen. So that leaves Cook and Hairston. Ideally, it'd be nice if these two were essentially combined into one player.
My Spurs off season plan.
1. Watch baseball
2. watch football
Stop reading at Eddy Curry, NO!
We need 3 point shooters.............
that don't choke
This is the same type of fan that was ready to trade Big Dave for Chris Webber back in the day. Hill is solid, at least on the homecourt. But he doesn't run the pick & roll, nor can he distribute. His game complements TP's, it doesn't replace it.
TP should go nowhere. You don't trade the one superstar you have that's still in his prime.
