"Way out there" is an understatement for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a "Way out there" or "They just did what" analogy.
Could the Spurs ever be realistic options to land Dwight Howard? Reports are he has "preference destinations". But...
Huge what if. The Magic decide it's best to tank for draft options, Free agent pursuit, PLUS manage to create cap space next year.
Now the unthinkable. (Depending on Spurs record at the time) Spurs trade Tim Duncan and Jefferson at trade dead line for Howard and Turkoglu. Orlando would create 10 mil. under next years cap if Duncan decides to...uh hum "not resign with Orlando"? This situation keeps both the Spurs and Magic from making the playoffs and Spurs throw in a draft pick to Orlando giving them multiple picks in next years draft as well as Spurs maintaining picks as well.
Spurs have now built a front court of Howard and Splitter along with the youth they've ac ulated the past two years to compliment and establish a once again dominant team for years to come sans the normal "team in decline" routine of taking years to rebuild.
This of course if Howard "could be sold" and the Magic wanting to "restart".
And Duncan...he'll be back with the Spurs next season for another "realistic" run at a le.
I know...Way Out There.
"Way out there" is an understatement for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No chance at all ... and I am not sure I want him anyway. If we could merge his athleticism with Tiagos footwork in the post ... that would be something
the way duncan has been suckin, why would he come here
your bolded name should be revoked
yet we get made fun of because of our grey names..
but i couldn't resist:
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=7fhhg22 + all 1st/2nd rd picks
so in short... no
inb4 a 'my account got hacked' rebuttal
duncan hasn't been suckin. He's saving it for the playoffs.
You need to stop disrespecting the greatest player and human being on the planet, Tim Duncan.
Spurs best shot at getting Howard is this summer as a FA. Spurs won't be favorite to get him but they have some assets to, at least, be an intriguing choice for him.
He wants to go to a team thats already winning... he cant carry a team.
Giving Duncan this nightmare season off and then picking him up as a free agent next year would be sweet.
No, but he could be bought. Might not have enough to do so though.
Howard will follow Dwill. so no we wont get him.
lol
Need a quick explanation of how getting Dwight Howard and TurkeyGlue causes us to miss the playoffs. I don't see it.
Duncan's already repping Adidas for San Antonio, so thats another big reason why D12 wouldn't come here, Dwight's looking to get an endorsment deal like Rose's. But if Boston is on Dwight's list nowadays then the Spurs shouldn't be too far behind either
If getting him as a FA were at all a possibility, I'd send David Robinson out there first thing to appeal to him from the perspective of faith and charity work.
Dude...we couldn't even get Josh Howard on our squad....what more Dwight Howard.....?
What`s 'repping' mean ?
Moe Howard anyone?
I think to even have a chance at him this summer that we would at least have to make it to the finals and at least be compe ive in them.
We won't get him in a trade, but as a FA the teams that are able to be players becomes limited. Consider the Lakers -- if they are unable to trade for him, it's unlikely they can sign him as a FA short of them dumping large amounts of salary first. Same thing with Dallas & Clippers. The Nets become one of the few teams he'd be interested in that would be able to sign him on sheer cap space. I'm not saying the Spurs become players necessarily, but other teams are counting on a trade before the deadline or a sign and trade before he becomes unrestricted.
