if hariston is traded it will be a huge mistake
Deng never even crossed my mind. I thought immediately of the 3-way trade the Spurs got in on for Hedo and I'd guess -- as you suggest -- they're looking to do something simliar with those non-guaranteed contracts.
Which leads me to what I first posted about ...
The Blazers were interested in RJ before the Spurs landed him, so that's a tie. The Spurs went after Pryzbilla a few years back, that's a tie (but a shaky one when you consider he's now an expiring contract after the injury and not an on-court acquisition at this point), and then there's of course Nico. Mr. Batum -- we all know about those ties.
The Blazers just gave up Martell Webster (please get him in a Spurs uni) to get the rights to Babbitt. If the Blazers acquired Deng, that 3 spot gets a little more crowded (not that that's anything new up in Portland -- a team with often too much talent) and then you've got to take into consideration where Batum was last we checked: coming off a pretty serious shoulder injury that has had some concerned about him moving forward.
Pritchard's out, Batum's health is a bit of a question mark and Portland could possibly be all set at the 3.
Could the Spurs finally get a hold of their man?
Nah, they'll probably end up with Pargo.

Sorry, still typing
Too late. I've moved on.
I agree. I threw out Batum for Blair and a 1st in the other thread, but I prefaced it by saying "I can't see it happening". Just thinking that the Spurs like Batum, Trail Blazers want a backup PF like Blair and if they acquire Deng, where would Batum fit in?
Parker's not Paul, but the Trail Blazers supposedly still want a PG, so would they take Parker, would the Spurs be desperate enough for Batum to give up Parker and would the Trail Blazers give up Batum in a deal for Parker?
Well if something is going to happen it will happen soon because it sounds like the bulls are scrambling to get rid of Deng.
For the team that gets him? He would get cut anyway and if the Spurs were that high on him they could just go back and resign him a little later.
I love Spurs fans.
Batum for Parker is a no-brainer for the Blazers. The Spurs would have to get a lot more to make it a fair deal on their end.
Your hate is bountiful.
Bountiful ... it's a word.
Didn't Parker say the Spurs had been trying to trade him to Portland?
Oh, we'll get Dre Miller. It'll be great.
hey can we still do a sign n trade mason to either team?
LOL Batum for Parker? WTF man.
You add Aldridge to Batum then I will start thinking about it.
WHY are most Spurs fan undervaluing TP?
Batum and Bayless?
They'd have to be considering taking on Miller, right?
I believe he said that Portland had been interested in trading for him (and that the Spurs turned it down), not that the Spurs were trying to trade him to Portland.
Aldridge + Batum...now we're getting closer. Still not good enough, IMO; there are very few players I'd be willing to trade Parker for, and none of the Blazers (other than Roy) are on that list.
Maybe its for Oden
Bayless is a tiny two guard. He's even less of a point guard than Hill. I don't see how he helps the Spurs much at all.
Then again, Bayless destroyed the Spurs in that game last year and the Spurs always overvalue players who play well against them so who knows . . .
Any Portland deal for Parker would have to include Miller - We would need a starting PG back. Such a deal would of course require further sweetening from the Blazers.
Parker for Miller, Oden
would pretty much be the minimum, IMO
If the Spurs trade TP to the Blazers, Miller would almost have to be involved if for not other reason to match salaries.
But Miller can't shoot and can't defend so I can't image Pop would be too thrilled to add him.
whats millers contract obligations atm? didnt he sign some extention 2 seasons ago?
Not straight up, I just meant as part of a package. I assume the Spurs would get Bayless in the deal as well, with probably other moving parts.
Like I said, not straight up, but in a package deal. But it would be based around those two (and Deng, but I'm talking from a Spurs perspective).
Just thinking out loud, not saying any of this makes sense even. I'd have to take the time to think about it and see the totality of the deal. I'm just piecing some facts together and trying to come up with something that might happen.
Aldridge and Batum for Parker and you're laughing at me?
