Spurs Not Finished Making Moves

[Cane]

I'd imagine the Nuggets would want Splitter in a Melo deal but I don't see that happening for either team.

I do agree that the Spurs probably aren't done making moves since there's still a lot of time in the offseason and the backup SF spot consists of a rookie from college, rookie from the d-league, and SG's.

I'd give up Blair AND Hill (and an expiring like Dyess) if we can get Melo in return. Yes, it depletes the youth on the team, but it loads us up for one last run with Tim. If Parker is involved in the trade, you package Blair with him and a guy like Dyess to make the numbers work.

I like our chances with Parker, Manu, Melo, Duncan, Splitter
or even
Hill, Manu, Melo, Duncan, Splitter is an upgrade over the current roster

Agree, a Melo trade for rookies and a vet. would be a good.

And yes, I'd be willing to part with DeJuan Blair, Tony Parker, and Antonio McDyess to get Carmelo Anthony in return, but I still don't know if they'd go for that. It'd take a future 1st for sure. That would be sick though, I just don't see it happening.

George Hill
Manu Ginobili | James Anderson | Gary Neal
Carmelo Anthony | Richard Jefferson
Tim Duncan
Tiago Splitter | Matt Bonner

I don't know, that's still tough. You've got your front three just about set, although you need a backup PG, but what would worry me is the big man depth. Duncan and Splitter are great and all, but Bonner'd be the only guy coming off the bench. If we could get Melo it would have made a lot more sense to go after Shaq.

Damn... I might do that for Durant, but Carmello? s no.

Exactly, I'll watch as many 76ers games as I can. I'll go to as many home Spurs games as possible and regardless of match ups I will enjoy every game. Understand this, I am a basketball fan first, a 76ers fan second and a Spurs fan third. Being a basketball fan means that I don't dislike any team, I might pull for the Spurs or 76ers to win a certain match up, but in no way would I want a team to do poorly like some Spurs fans feel about the Mavs or Lakers.

It goes on and on. I love the game and my opinions might sound crazy, but whatever I say in one statement can be expressed and explained in several pages of deep thought. Unless of course I am being sarcastic. I personally will not read extremely long posts, so why should I expect any of you to spend your time reading my long posts (this, btw, does not count as a long post. Long posts go on to where you can't see the next 3 posts after yours)?

Anyhow, I have rambled on too much. Good night.

i actually read everyones post even if theyre long and stupid you never know what you may pick up instead of reading certain things that pass your filter. that wasnt a long post that was a healthy one hahaha

I didn't mean that as a finalized roster lol, obviously if we made those moves we'd have to sign a couple of bigs to fit in the rotation as well as a back up point guard, I was just pointing out what we'd have with our team as it is right now.

[Leonard Curse]

yall are giving way too much for melo!! this is a guy who gives up when his team is down this is a guy demanding trades to newyork!

first never and i mean never come to san antonio, second the only young superstar that would fit here is durant/wade other than that it wouldnt fit with our style and culture here, oh and of course my fav point guard D.Rose, but theyre never leaving their teams so i say brewer too but hasnt that guy been injured 2/3rd of his career ??

i mean thats alot of faith n some very brittle ankles i agree though he is amazing but if you look at his legs theyre more brittle than ian's lol

[howbouthemspurs]

they are done till midseason

Everytime I've watched Melo play, he plays with maximum effort and isn't afraid to play in the post (excellent small ball option with Tim at Center) and be aggressive. Yeah, he's hot-headed, but the failure of his team is due more to guys like JR Smith and Kenyon Martin melting down in the clutch. Anthony wants to win andw ould be surrounded by guys he can trust in the clutch with Duncan and Manu (and Parker if he isn't included in a hypothetical trade package).

As for him not coming to SA, he wouldn't have a choice if traded. Obviously the Spurs would want him re-signed to an extension before the trade goes down, but I think they could sell him on a 2-3 year extension so he can play with Manu and Tim and them move on if he doesn't like the direction the team is going post-Duncan.

As of right now, I'm all for sacrificing the future (Blair and Hill) for one last le run for Tim. Blair and Hill are not gonna the next STARS (good players, but not STARS) that lead us to a championship after Tim retires, but Carmelo MIGHT BE.

good point on the future of our stars, however i give blair 2yrs and hill another year to determine whether or not they can become something special. thats why i say we at least have to see what anderson can bring you never know we got ourselves a high draft pick. i think melo is great dnt get me wrong hes an amazing player but i see him as soft esp n the defensive end, i think if our players knew their roles they would play alot better but last year pop had everyone all over the place it was ridiculous, so w/parker back and healthy and rj having a better understanding of his role i think just that alone can make us very solid, not to mention the addition of TIago its going to be huge for us

Kirk Penney's having a good campaign in Turkey. Haven't the Spurs brought him in for workouts in the last few years?

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Tony Parker and Antonio McDyess for Chauncey Billups and Birdman.

Yeah that wouldn't be a stupid trade for the Spurs or anything.

[IknowU]

Trade McDyess and someone for Anderson Varejao

I wrecken sideshow flopper would fit perfectly in the spurs system?
