    I would love Pietrus backing up RJ but its not gonna happen unless the spurs plan to ship Bonner out + probably Anderson, which I don't see Pop going for.

    Personally, I would pull the trigger on a deal similar to that, though. Because it would mean no more Bonner, plenty of time for Splitter to get comfortable and become a force in the 2nd unit, and Pietrus would really help the spurs to matchup to teams with superior athleticism on the wing. Not to mention he has a history of being a big time clutch shooter in playoff games, unlike the big red headed doof.
    The Suns wouldn't, in no small part for the reasons you stated.

    Spurs have a great record, they are under the luxury tax and their team will be well balanced when Anderson will be back. They have no reason to do a trade before the deadline. If there is a no brainer deal, they will of course do it but this kind of deal rarely happen so expect a quiet trade deadline for Spurs.

    I would doubt phoenix would want to help us at all, and take on Jefferson's contract also imo but pietrus would be a nice option but not for Jefferson who is a better slasher but Pietrus more of streaky shooter plus his defense is overrated was schooled many times by lebron,pierce and kobe
    Everyone in the league has been schooled many times by the three you mentioned.

    We know you would trade Bonner for an basketball autographed by Sleepy Floyd. What's new?

    There are so many posters here who push their ing agenda in every post. You are one of them. It's annoying. Get over it. There's no rationale in your posts. Just agenda.

    You and guy ude should be relegated to your own forum so you can invite Ducks, where you three can say the same over and over, except guy would be waxing philosophical about the finer points of the zone and his 15 years of in depth study on the Bell Curve.

    I agree with this 100%.
    Search me why so many are always wanting a trade, especially when the Spurs are doing so well. It makes no sense whatsoever!
    Are people bored now with the winning?

    Great idea, you can put us right next to the pollyanna poppers, and we can all meet at a steak place and shoot straw wrappers at each other.

    I aint seeing any players to be traded. Splitter- too early to count him out,Udoka- Improved defense in the last games, Bonner- Pop won't do it trust me, Dice - we need his bball IQ and experience especially in the PO, Quinn - a good back up pg when he is on the court he is decent, the other players that are not on my list I think I don't have to explain it

    The team's gonna stand pat. Pop is not dumb enough to up the chemistry by adding a rotation player this late. Unless that guy is Carmelo, we won't be trading anybody this year.

    What is with this Bonner in the playoffs thing? Sure Bonner didn't perform too well in last season's playoffs, but he's becoming a more well-rounded player this year, and is even confident to try and drive it home. So don't act as if you know it's a certainty that Bonner will ruin EVERYTHING in the playoffs, that is moronic.

    Spurs don't need to do a trade at deadline.
    this is often the best position to do a trade.
    deadline 2005 the Spurs had the best record in the league (and likely the best Spurs team in history) when they pulled the trigger on the Malik for Nazr trade. that trade was evaluated crucial for eventually winning the 2005 le.
    (to counter the size and physicality of the Pistons)
    so, never say never.

    I think they'll definitely be looking and judging the market, and if an offer is on the table that'd improve the team, they should still take it. I think our pick is definitely up for grabs, and could be used in a trade for a final piece/Security(Improving 3rd PG spot from Quinn, adding a solid Center, getting a project player the Spurs could use next year(If they like that person more than people likely to be there at 30)). Definitely dealing from a position of strength though, which is a good thing.

    Who knows what the FO will do, are you 100% certain they wont do anything?
    The only reason I picked RJ is they have enough scorers already and they need a good strong defender for Melo, Dirk, LBJ and Durant.

    Im not a talent scout so pardon me if my unreal choice of Pietrus sounds idiotic.
    We may have scorers but if 1 of the big 3 go down RJ can step up and will he did it while Tony was out at the end of last season.
    We are lucky to have him playing well doing what Pop wants him to, but yet if needed can take more scoring load.

    Plus he has done a reasonable job on some of those names you listed, I thought he did great on Durant.

    He shot 43% FGS and 37% 3GS. Not exactly a choke.

    The spurs need to add another quality big. This record will mislead people into believing they don't need to make any changes or upgrades. The spurs are not deep enough on the frontline.
    Broken record . . .

    I think it's safe to offer congrats to Chris Quinn and Ime Udoka for surviving long enough to have their contracts guaranteed for the remainder of the season. The Spurs have until close of business tomorrow to submit waiver requests on either one, but I very much doubt that they would bring the players on the road trip just to have them available for the Knick game.

    yeah the flaws in the front court are going to cause some issues, but the coaching staff looks like they have learned to focus the defense more out on the perimeter and playing the passing lanes more with the depth we have in our back court. The defense is still there. And has the potential to improve more. Especially when you have someone like Blair adapting more and more and utilizing his skill sets against starting bigs. Fighting them out of position and pestering them before they're set with his wingspan. Man has been able to manipulate bigger post players this way and generate a lot of strips and steals.

    I think our front has it's flaws, but there is nothing that the spurs could pull in that would help the front court albeit some miraculous trade that brought in a 6ft 10 rebounding beast like Love.

    Unless there's a win-win situation where a trade is too good to be refused, we don't need to make any moves.

    Guaranteed money: It appears Chris Quinn and Ime Udoka will remain with the Spurs for the remainder of the season. Both players were still on the roster as of tip-off in New York, ensuring their veteran minimum contracts will become fully guaranteed on Jan. 10.

    Tuesday was the last day teams could waive players in time to clear waivers before the deadline.

    In recent days, coach Gregg Popovich has praised both players for filling veteran roles at the end of his bench.
