    As long as we are talking about things that are "widely considered", isn't it pretty much conventional wisdom that Boston's trade doesn't help them win this year?

    The Spurs don't really have any tradeable contracts right now, I messed around with the ESPN Trade Machine and couldn't really do much, that was fair and realistic at least..

    This post is just BS... Why dont you post the many possibilities or upgrades the Spurs could get with the contracts they have???

    All of those possible moves have been discussed in other threads.. and it would take ripping apart half of the team to get anything decent..


    Besides most of the trades by good seeded teams were done because of salary dump or they had many players at that position.

    The perkins move was because the celtics expect the oneals to contribute something in the playoffs and Davis is playing pretty solid.


    So dont just about it, stop acting like congress and give a constructive opinion... maybe the spurs front office can take your advice.

    What does Boston not standing pat have to do with anything? Did every past champion not stand pat during the trade deadline? I don't understand what you are implying... Boston is clearly better because they made a move at the deadline?
    Do you realize what thread this is? It is about le contenders standing pat. I don't give a crap about it. I was making a point that Boston is someone "who has balls" based on the context of the OP.

    I actually specifically said "whether or not it makes them better is to be determined...".

    Yes.

    ehh I was more under the impression of you criticizing the Spurs for standing pat and praising BOS for not doing so.

    He also looks like the lovechild of Paul Giamatti and Bilbo Baggins.
    That love combo should never be allowed to conceive.

    Carter has had a better NBA career than Manu.
    Stats wise, certainly, team wise, not in the same league.

    i was hoping the spurs would have flipped blair for a better big. but looking at the bigs that were traded, there weren't many good ones. no way the celtics trade perkins to the spurs.

    Year after year its the same old tired story. Outside of the Jefferson trade the Spurs have been too afraid to pull the trigger on big trades.

    Team wise takes into account teammates. Carter was on weaker teams where he was the top option most of his younger days. No way Manu can handle being the top option for long and put up the stats that Carter did.

    Someone's sad that another trade deadline has passed and Manu Ginobili is still a Spur.

    and year after year we have had 50+ game winning seasons. 14 now to be exact. Big trades? What do you want them to do?

    This year they should have added another big good enough to get into the rotation. It should have been done last summer or even the summer before.
    It doesn't seem to be a priority for the spurs to get stronger on the frontline.

    In years past Sprewell, Carter and r Wallace were all available on the cheap and the Spurs passed. Detroit got Wallace and they went on to win the le. Had the spurs took the chance to get him they win that year.

    The spurs will never break up the big 3. The spurs will never win another le with those 3 being the top 3 best players on the team.

    Trying to add another big is a different story and they obviously did that with Splitter. Being scared to make a big trade is what you said... lol What "Big Trade" are you talking about? and why would we want to pull a trigger on something big.

    Manu should have been traded after their last le. No way did I think he was going to be traded so no I am not sad he is not traded, I didn't expect it.

    You sure will be sad when the spurs fall short.

    I will be sad if they fall short.... But not because they did not trade ginobili this season or last season... In fact if they even get close part of it is because of him.

    Rings is a team accomplishment. How many times you morons have to be told that. Carter has had the better career stats and he has had the better clutch game winning shots. Someone posted the clutch players and no where is Manu even on that list. Manu being some sensational clutch player is a figment of your imagination. He has made as many clumsy plays at the end of games as he has hit game winning shots.

    Just the last game he heaves up an out of control backwards shot that has no shot of going in and bounces off the backboard that parker saves the day for him on.

    You've said this over and over for years, but never bother to make the case. There's a simple reason for that. It's impossible. If it wasn't, you would be able to show, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, how it could have been done. Pure BS.

    You really are broken up that Manu will retire as a Spur.
