    This thread is meaningless until Johnny Ludden has something to say.


    No doubt he's the best and I'd give it much more credence if this was Wojo reporting, but we don't usually here from Ludden before the fact. I think that's why he allows Wojo to report the legitimate rumblings more often -- Johnny's smart about not alienating his sources.

    Why the would the Spurs draft a big man when they have Splitter and Blair? God damn Chad Ford is stupid.
    Blair's undersized and the Spurs still don't have an athletic shotblocker. Spurs seem to have no real answer for guys like Odom and Amar'e with that roster.

    One, you can never have enough big men, especially against the Lakers (ask Boston).

    Two, big men get you better players in trades because quality big men are harder to get.

    You can definitely have too many big men when you're the Spurs and you can't spread the floor to save your life.

    Have people already forgotten the phoenix series?

    Right. But I think the Spurs logic is that Manu can run the team better on offense and Hill can guard point guards better on defense.

    Sure I'd hate to see TP, one of if not the best scorers in the paint, but if they could land another young big that could become a star (even if not a superstar), then I think they could get by with what they have at point.

    Maybe the Spurs are convinced you don't need a great PG to win a le.

    Listening to the ESPN radio show right now and they just re-mentioned Ford saying that the Spurs are shipping out Hill or Parker. The hosts are saying that they're not sure they believe Ford because its the CIA Spurs we're talking about; "you just never know with the SA Spurs". "Did you see George Hill coming; a guy that wasn't in the national draft guide? Or DeJuan Blair?"

    "Expect the unexpected. The Spurs aren't going to tip their hand."

    Just because Parker is the most likely of the Spurs' main players to be traded, doesn't mean he will be. I put the odds of this happening at less than 10%.

    would spurs really need a big if they got splitter
    Yes the spurs need to add two players on the frontline and get rid of Bonner and push McDyess to the 4th big.

    Man I hope this isn't true. Hill has become one of my favorite players on the roster, and Parker is one of the premier PG's in the league. The Spurs' FO obviously knows more than I do, so if they think it is better for the team to have one of the 2 guards then I'm behind them 100%. But, I would rather keep them both.

    I guess you could look at the Lakers. Fisher is a shooting guard in a point guard's body. Kobe handled the ball and basically ran the point in the triangle offense. It was enough to win a le, albeit barely.

    Everyone has been speculating that the Spurs could possibly trade up to 2, 3, or 10, but I think the Kings pick at 5 and the Warriors at 6 could make sense if the draft were to turn out a certain way and they wanted out.

    If the spurs really are looking for a big man you would have to think they are looking for more of an upgrade rather than just having a roster full of big men. Maybe a deal not only involving just Hill/Parker, but also adding Blair/Mcdyess for a big man the spurs believe is better.

    I think the spurs understand the key to the West is to have enough big men to compete with the Lakers. Duncan/Splitter plus a young athletic big is a good start.

    the spurs would be only offering tp for one of the top 3 in the draft


    spurs should have offered manu for 2 years to a team in the top 3 slots

    well where would be if we did not get the gratuitous ducks "get rid of manu" post ?

    I would rather keep Hill than Parker at this point. Parker is potential all star player but we just need to shake things up to be frank. We had our run with him at the point and hes never been a dominant PG, like DWILL or CP3 so now I think its time to try things different.

    Look at the Lakers. They dont have a dominant PG but they were able to win a championship. If you can get a team together who can space the floor and players who can contribute at a high level than you have a chance at a le. Manu is like the Spurs PG in alot of ways already and George can hit the 3 on a consistent basis. Something Parker hasnt been able to develop. Im all for trading Parker if we can get equal talent in return.

    Agreed. I hope it takes a "knock your socks off" offer. For me, that is only a top 3 pick. You won't get there with Indiana's package. Maybe if there is a three way deal.

    Yea, not to mention that the Spurs most impressive run in the regular season was with Ginobili, Hill, and Temple running the point (Parker injured) when they went on that crazy schedule and won against the top teams of the league.

    That probably helped open up their potential trading outlooks.

    That a big if. I haven't seen one rumor giving us back equal talent. Tony is vastly underrated by spurs fans.

    Parker is more likely to be traded than any of the top 4 Spurs (Duncan/Parker/Hill/Manu).

    Reasons: Hill is younger and making the minimum next season. Tony is close to his 30s and will want a lot of money, pushing the Spurs into the luxury tax. It comes down to money I think. I would love to see a well rested Parker in his contract season play for the Spurs, but Im seeing TP gone as well.
    I agree Phila,

    If this rumor does have legs, I see Parker being the one traded for the reasons you mentioned.
