Personally chandler would be a great fit ...but no way in Cuban helps there. And splitter is in the way ...What is the one big move that re-opens tha spurs window?
From ESPN's Adande:
If you love trades, you'll love the new rules. Incoming and outgoing salaries don't need to match as closely. The obscure base-year compensation rule that left many trade ideas as far from reality as a concept car at an auto show is almost gone. And even the luxury-tax teams are free to join the sign-and-trade party -- at least for the next two years.
The luxury-tax teams are precisely who you would expect to be the most active in this newly loosened free-agent market. The proposed system all but gives them a mandate: Go for it now, while you still can participate in sign-and-trade deals and before the luxury tax penalties get stiffer, at a potentially lower threshold. So it makes sense for the Lakers and Spurs and Celtics to push in all their chips, no matter the cost, and hold off on using the amnesty clause to get out of the luxury tax until a couple of years down the line.
This is my understanding of the new CBA ...but others on here have contradicted that.
Not saying we gonna get Dwight, but if we do make a move ...the time is now. Celts already tryig ...what will the Spurs do?

Winning the lottery?
Been telling them since 08 that their only chance at future relevance is to repeat the obvious 97 tank job.
Pop could easily milk one of those TP ankle sprains 50 games and just give Timmeh the Robert Horry treatment: DNP - Old.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The endless wait continues.
Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden, who last appeared in an NBA game on Dec. 5, 2009, will not be ready for the start of the 2011-2012 NBA regular season.
Portland Trail Blazers president Larry Miller made the news official while continuing to express full support for the oft-injured center during a meeting with reporters at the Rose Garden on Wednesday. Miller made it sound like Oden's return to Portland is a foregone conclusion despite the fact that he is a restricted free agent.
"Greg is a part of our Plan A," Miller said.
Back in October, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft informed fans on Facebook that he had begun running, but The Oregonian recently reported that Oden has not yet been cleared for basketball activities during his current rehabilitation from knee surgery.
Last summer, Bill Duffy, Oden's agent, said that they were targeting a potential return in January. Miller said that's still the plan.
"He won't be ready for the start of the season but we're hoping by January that he's able to play," Miller said.
A January return would come 25 months since Oden last took the court and more than 13 months since his most recent microfracture knee surgery, which occurred in Nov. 2010.
Nothing new about this. A January return is what I've long been predicting. It's perfect since the season starts on Christmas day. I was hoping for a New Year's Day start of the season, but Christmas is close enough.
Just heard a news update tonight that a piece of lint blew into Oden's knee and his whole leg fell off. News report is saying he will be out till retirement of age 48 which coincidentally is in three months.
lolHe does a masterful job...Deal with that lil homie...It's happening...big money deals necessitate big name players...you just can't duplicate that at the River Walk ...
damn, DMC drowning that Kool in some white water rafting.
excellent...
Here's an excerpt....sorry Spurs fan my last post for the night....

From CP3 to Howard then Xavier HenryLakers' standards have really fallen off in just two years.
the irony is we traded for both. Stern blocked one and Howard bolted. Heisler was correct and so was Kool.From CP3 to Howard then Xavier Henry
Incorrect
Not saying Kool was right this whole thread or about YOUR bet. Just that he called Howard and Paul to L.A. he was right ... (technically).
No he wasn't, the trade was never approved by the league. The teams had agreed on the deal, but it was never made. Chris Paul was never a Laker.
Not disputing that. he posted a rumor from a reliable Laker source. Lakers did attempt to trade for both. Completed one, and agreed in principle to the other. Sure he never was officially a Laker but imho something that seemed ridiculous (even to me) almost happened.
Not trying to get in yall pissing contest just giving my two cents on Heisler's report ...if I am wrong so be it. No big deal to me ... proceed.
duncan gets plenty of love on LG ...some hate but mostly respect.
Let me go to a Lakers forum and see how much respect I can drum up for Duncan.
This thread is sooo full of win.
My nicca DPG was right about trades and new CBA ...
DMC was butthurt ... "lakers need to be stacked" his fear was palpable ...
I thought Dwight or Paul was a pipedream ...
but tlong was awesome ... Blazers have best frontline now that oden is "back"
Epic thread...
BTW Kool was just spraying bullets like a Compton gangsta with bad aim ...
he doesn't rape or talk though
that's the one thing about you that's funny to me...you always feel the need to kiss ass or qualify a statement..if you want to dig into DPG's ass then do it...stop trying to pacify people to try and find common ground....it's ok to say: " OFF DPG" and mean it...grow a pair
It's really ty from your side of the gym, I get it. Keep digging for things more interesting than your team's roster.This thread is sooo full of win.

Dmc you are cool but you were whining like a lil . Talking about hoe Spurs scout and develop and Lakers buy talent ...wgaf?! Bottom line both bring wins. worked for us 16 times and for yall 4. But sans Timmy would be 16-0, maybe worse.
And my team is made of spare parts so what? doesn't change the fact you sounded scared. And despite the sweep I'm.still here.
As for Kool, Dpg is my nicca. I don't get in his ass for no good reason. We battle but no war like that there is mutual respect.
