Supposdly Spurs offered trade deal for Bosh?

[benefactor]

Splitter's rights possibly involved?

[ducks]

If I'm Toronto, I'd want Hill, Manu, Blair, and Splitter's rights.

Any spurs fan still interested? I hope not.

Those 4 will play some of the biggest roles in our teams quest for a championship this year.

As for Parker, any team trading for him would have to be guaranteed that he's gonna re-up with them. This most certainly has been pointed out by numerous posters already, sorry I'm late to the party.

I don't think Tony is looking to move to Toronto with Eva's career being in LA and her roots being in south Texas...even if it is for max money.

Other teams will come calling for Tony and dangling max money when the time is right. We'll see what he chooses to do.

Til then, get Splitter signed please.

Splitter's rights possibly involved?

I would have to think so. Getting Bosh is a pipedream if you ask me, but it would be a of a coup. Chris Bosh is an elite PF. Bosh is the type of talent who could step into Duncan's spot in 2 years and carry on the Spurs' legacy.

I don't think Bosh himself has given much thought to San Antonio. I don't know if he has much interest in coming here.

I think the deal for the Spurs starts with Splitter/Hill and a 1st rounder.

McDyess, S&T Jefferson, Splitter's rights and unguaranteeds for Bosh. Do it.

Giving up 2-3 good/very good players (on relatively low salaries) for Bosh on a max contract? I'm not sure if that's really worth it. If it would make us a lock for at least a 5th ring I could understand it, but I don't think it really does.

McDyess, S&T Jefferson, Splitter's rights and unguaranteeds for Bosh. Do it.

Don't think Jefferson fits with Hedo still there.

Since crazy trades are being thrown out everywhere, how about

Tony to NYC

David Lee, Dice and Splitter to Toronto

Bosh and Wilson Chandler to SA

[Obstructed_View]

Just getting impatient with this off season. SOMETHING HAPPEN ALREADY

Yeah, I'm with you on that.

[Shastafarian]

How about:

Toronto sends:
Chris Bosh
Jose Calderon

San Antonio sends:
Tony Parker
DeJuan Blair
Richard Jefferson

New York sends:
Wilson Chandler
Toney Douglas
Eddy Curry

Toronto gets:
Tony Parker
Eddy Curry

San Antonio gets:
Chris Bosh
Toney Douglas
Wilson Chandler

New York gets:
DeJuan Blair
Jose Calderon
Richard Jefferson

It's not one-sided at all!

Plus I'm not too sure the salaries would be close enough. It would depend on Jefferson and Bosh. Toronto would never do it unless Bosh demanded to be sent to SA.

And it looks like this 's going to be dragged out a little longer; word from ESPN is that dumb in Cleveland is going to let the NBA jerk on his meat for another five days. Could have sworn he said something about protecting the privacy of his family and only a few days ago. Idiot.

[ploto]

To equal Bosh's salary and to get any interest from Toronto, the Spurs would have to include Tony or Manu. They have no need for a S&T Jefferson or McDyess.

2 or 3 good players do not equal a superstar, heck - 10 good players do not equal 1 superstar. Superstars win championships. If the Spurs can get Bosh or another superstar without giving Tim, Tony or Manu, then that would be a no brainer decision. Unfortunately it's highly unlikely to happen.

[quentin_compson]

Yes. That is why he is probably going to sign whereever DWade or LeBron sign.

Think, man.

Probably? Well, we'll see. I'm still not sold on the notion that there will necessarily be a superstar team with Wade/LeBron + Bosh.

No offense ducks, but sometimes I think you'd be willing to trade Manu for a new coyote costume.

On paper, yes, Manu is definitely part of the package to get Bosh and it seems like a good trade for the Spurs. But that's on paper.

Bosh is a talent in Toronto, but it remains to be seen what kind of player he would be in the Spurs system.

Manu, on the other hand is the heart and soul of this team come crunch time.

You cannot underestimate the devastating impact trading Manu would have on this whole team. Not to mention, that a large part of Tiago's desire to come to the Spurs would have just been flushed down the toilet as well.

So no, no way I'd pull the trigger on a trade of Manu unless he specifically wanted it.

[wut]

Honestly Bosh is a pipe-dream guys.... he does NOT want to play here, plain and simple. He has an agent whispering into his ear Lebron or Wade combo on the eastcoast max money. Why would Bosh want in any shape or form to play in San Antonio where everyone has this weird perception that the team is about to crumble? Guys like Bosh don't want to play in Podunk San Antonio.

[ChuckD]

I don't get all of the Bosh knob-slobbering. He's an All Star, but NOT a superstar. Think about it: in a horribly weak EC, he couldn't even take a team to the playoffs. The nightmare scenario is that Tim retires, we're stuck with Bosh, and are never good enough to make the WC playoffs, never bad enough to get that top 3 pick, and cap bound by his contract. It could take you 4-5 years just to START your rebuilding process in that case.

With another capable sg now Anderson, Manu is even more expendable for an all star big . Anderson and Hill can cover the 2 guard spot and Bosh would be a big upgrade over McDyess/Bonner. The spurs are a better team replacing Manu with Bosh.

But the spurs are not trading Manu and Bosh will not be coming to the Spurs just replying on the fact that you would not make that trade.

Seems like a good trade because it would be a good trade.

He will also be a talent on the spurs.

Manu, on the other hand is the heart and soul of this team come crunch time.

Just an emotional response. Heart and soul of the team is overrating Manu.

You cannot underestimate the devastating impact trading Manu would have on this whole team. Not to mention, that a large part of Tiago's desire to come to the Spurs would have just been flushed down the toilet as well.

You are failing to also consider the impact of acquiring Bosh would do to the impact of the team. Who says Splitter's decision rests on Manu being with the team.

So no, no way I'd pull the trigger on a trade of Manu unless he specifically wanted it.

Based on 1 Nov - 15 April that might be a good trade, but Manu is a playoff stud, and Bosh is a playoff dud, when he makes it at all.

Horrible trade for a team chasing a ring.

[Mal]

Bosh sucks. Spurs aren`t going anywhere with him as leader when TD retires.
