He's making 12M. Not possible without giving up major pieces of the current team.

The Pistons are already receiving calls about Troy Murphy as if the proposed 3-way trade between the Nuggets, Pistons, and Nets are a done deal. One of the teams interested in acquiring Troy Murphy includes San Antontio. Question is, who would we give up with Troy Murphy's contract and how much would it improve this team?
I for one think it would help tremendously, but have no clue who Spurs would give up to get him.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it's going to take at least one other team and a deep knowledge of cap-onomics.
I'll have to edit my first post to change "with" to "without".
Givin up on splitter already...
i think its dice trade and release
need alot more than dice...
Yep. Dice and at least two of Splitter/Bonner/Anderson.
There's no way that the Spurs trade for Murphy on his current contract. Now if he gets bought out after he's traded from New Jersey, then the Spurs would likely be among several contenders interested in his services.
not interested
We need our youth and He isn't the type of player that can put us over the top.
Yet another example of how the media always says that the Spurs are interested in a free agent/trade target regardless of actual validity to the claim.
Maybe they were interested over the summer before Jefferson signed.
But just imagine what Troy Murphy will provide: the 3 point shooting from a big man that Pop drools over AND the abililty to grab rebounds that we need. IMO this would be an awesome trade, especially if we don't have to give a lot to get him.
The only thing that makes it fishy is that he's going to be a RFA this summer, which leads to the fact that Spurs will have to either give him up or sign him to another contract to lock him up.
We would have to give up a lot to get him and he'll be a UFA this summer.
been injured all season, but if he gets bought out and wants to win a championship, he'd be stupid to not come to the spurs. But he'll probably go to the lakers for nothing
Why would the Spurs give up major pieces when they are 1st and haven't even tapped the potential of the current squad? If you trade for someone, it'll take 2+ years to incorporate them into the team. By then, Duncan will be gone.
You are rolling right now. Go with what you have imo
The question is, do you believe we have what it takes to win the finals playing like this? The rebounds can certainly help the team in Troy Murphy while shooting 3's, something Matt Bonner was originally supposed to do.
However, you may be right about the team chemistry, he might end up taking a season or even longer to get acquainted with the system.
At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure it's all a pipe dream.
sexinthatsx, I don't think you really fully understand the CBA. Unless the guy is bought out and signed on for minimum wage the Spurs MUST give up a ton to get him just to make the salaries match. Spurs don't have a big bad contract that they can just dump to get him.
Why would they?
Don't even think about it til the offseason.
Incase no one's noticed, Troy has been playing like utter for the past two seasons.
I really dont see this happening. Unless we want to give up a big part of our team, which i doubt because we never make major midseason trades even when we dont have the best record in the league. I dont know why we would do it when we do. McDyess has had a pretty good year considering how old he is, unless we get offered some ridiculous deal, I stay put. Unless Pop and RC think that these regular season wins dont mean in a 7 game series against the lakers, mavs, or celtics, i dontt think we dont do . Go Spurs Go
We actually have a cap hold for Robert Horry at $7.2 million. Resign him with only $100,000 guaranteed, throw in Splitter and you are set. If you really wanted to.
garbage. one of the most overpaid players in the league.
As a Pacers fan, I would tell you that he plays decently, shoots well, rebounds well.
But he doesn't defend well. He looks like he doesn't have a lot of defensive ability. But he tries hard and plays well in a team scheme, but just isn't good defensively.
Most Pacer fans will tell you he plays matador defense and sucks and is terrible.
I personally think he's ok, can play well in a defensive scheme, can make good offense reads and passes, and will give good effort.
Personally I think he could work on the Spurs.
Only if he will be buy out.
i hate that guy...he always shoots the ball even when he is tightly defended instead of passing it to me in 2k11
So...he's a rich man's Matt Bonner?
