Rumor: Spurs trying to get in on Bulls/Blazers trade

[Chieflion]

Didnt realize that Deng shot 39% for 3 last year. Is his defense bad?

Deng is a good defender, a big part of the Bulls defense.

batum and patty mills and picks for parker do it

lol. Are you a troll?

[TimDunkem]

batum and patty mills and picks for parker do it

Stupidest idea yet. That's like Bogut for Bonner.

How do you do blazer fans

Well no wonder we want him. 40% from 3, 46% from the field, 8 rpg and a + defender?

[ohmwrecker]

Stupidest idea yet. That's like Bogut for Bonner.

I'm willing to bet it will get stupider.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if we trade parker and not get a quality pg in return,

does that mean spurs are going to either sign a veteran pg or head over to europe and look for someone willing to sign for LLE?

[Ice009]

Stupidest idea yet. That's like Bogut for Bonner.

Nice. I like how u used another Australian to show how stupid that is.

No. 0% chance.

Parker won't be a part of this deal. We already turned down Portland's offers for Parker. And I'd bet nothing on the Chicago roster (other than their untradeables) would prompt Spurs to pull that trigger.

Besides, Parker will be worth way more by the trade deadline. No reason to trade him preseason.

Why go after Gibson if you have Blair?

[ohmwrecker]

Why go after Gibson if you have Blair?

Not saying it's a good reason, but isn't he 3" taller than Blair? He can play on the wing, too.

[ChuckD]

Does anyone know if the Blazers would already be able to include Ryan Gomes in a trade? Are there any restrictions involved?

Also, has that Hinrich trade gone through yet?

I think Gomes was waived already. They had to let him go by 30 June, I believe, to get the salary break.

[TimDunkem]

Not saying it's a good reason, but isn't he 3" taller than Blair?

Yeah, but their length is about the same (Blair's reach is a an inch or so shorter than Gibson's), and I'd say Blair is still the better rebounder and offensive player.

i to find him overrated man

[angelbelow]

so we are trying to end up with deng? i cant see why portland would even need deng.

[ezau]

deng. He's an injury waiting to happen

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bonner's a walking defensive turn style, but you still pine for him in a Spurs jersey...

[HarlemHeat37]

Deng's contract sucks and he's injury prone, but he would be a significant upgrade over Jefferson, no doubt about that..much better defender, better shooter, much better rebounder, much better ability to play the small-ball 4, much more valuable to his team..

[EricB]

Uh do not. But as usual you make up.

Yeah perfect fit. That's why it'll never happen...

[HarlemHeat37]

I agree, it won't happen..I doubt the Spurs even get involved in a minor way..

[Chieflion]

I have been hearing Okur for Deng too, which is weird from both sides.
