The laughter you hear is all in your head.
The funny thing is that you keep making the case against yourself and don't realize it. Actually, it's rather sad.
You just keep believing that and we'll just keep right on laughing at you.

We'll huh? Meaning you and someone else?![]()
Gortat wasn't worth a first rounder when he was traded:

Hey Mel_13 looks like the peanut gallery has arrived to back up your asinine claims.![]()
Still laughing alone, I see.
So sad.
Is there a definiton or word, for this strange fetish of tjastal, to get ted on daily on a sports forum?![]()
It's called getting tjastal...

Peanut gallery hard at work I see. Well, looks like you're not alone in this, Mel13. They also wouldn't dare trade away a late 1st round pick for a Marcin Gortat or Robin Lopez. Not when there's a chance of getting a Cory Joseph type player. No way!
Mel - a few games back you reminded me not to get into a ridiculous argument with a pinhead in the game thread. I hope I'm not too late to return the favor.
Continuing to make the case against yourself.
Really, really sad.
No, its really not hard at all.![]()
Sound advice, I must admit.
I expect for R. Lopez to not be a Phoenix Sun next year and I think we have a chance to snatch him up at a low cost. I still don't know if a 1st rounder is worth it. Isn't he on the last year of his rookie scale contract and he will probably want a pay increase next year. He hasn't played to his potential yet but think a change in scenery would do well for his game.
If not R. Lopez than who?? I looked around the league for possible trade deals and this was the only plausible move that made sense for both teams. We better do something otherwise it's Blair/Bonner against the top PF's in the playoffs. I wouldn't be pressing for a trade so much if Tiago started and played 30min plus. Unfortunately, the turd ball continues under Pop.
, might as well include him for TJ.

Tjastal just got tjastaled on.
I did a look at the possible trade targets/buyout candidates among the league's bottom dwellers. The only other trade target that seemed the least bit realistic from both sides was Johan Petro from the Nets. Kind of depressing.
As for buyout candidates after the March 15th deadline, these may be some possible late season additions:
Diaw
Najera
Turiaf
Kaman
Carl Landry
Ben Wallace
Okur
Humphries
Magloire
Lopez is the exact type of big the Spurs don't need and clearly have no interest in. They don't want a center, who can't defend power fowards or shoot, because they essentially view Splitter as that type of player and realize he's better than any other big of that ilk that they could get.
What they need and want, is basically an athletic version of McDyess. Someone who can shoot, defend power forwards and hold their own on the glass.
If Diaw get's bought out, he's someone the Spurs would definitely pursue and probably get. He's unmotivated and soft, but because him and Parker are best friends and they're a team trying to contend, they probably feel like they could coax him into caring for a few months (and they'd probably be right). When he's in shape and the spirit moves him, he can do virtually everything at least adequately, save for rebounding.
Gortat was playing this minutes behind Dwight Howard. Robin Lopez is playing ty minute behind Marcin Gortat. Enough said
Getting Lopez would allow Tiago to start. Lopez takes his place on the bench.
I like all except for Wallace and Magloire. Not sure how many will actually be available for the Spurs to make a serious run.
Remind me how this guy is an upgrade over Blair if you would. Oh that's right, he's 7 feet tall. And at 7 feet he averages a grand total of 4 points a game, a whopping 3 rebounds a game, and less than a block a game. But wait, wait, he is only playing 13 minutes a game, double that those minutes, then double his stats, 8 points a game, 6 boards, and a block and a half. I sure can't wait to get this guy!!! Would be such an asset because......he's taller than Blair. Blair on the other hand is doing just about what this guy would be doing in 26 minutes, but Blair is doing it in 22 minutes. Pass.
Yeah, but I don't think they want Splitter to start, because they don't seem to view him as someone who can consistently guard power forwards. If they can't rectify the big situation either at the deadline or after the buyout period post deadline, then I could see them eventually going to this as a last resort. Either post deadline or when they're in desperation mode in the playoffs. Like last season, when it took until game four for Splitter to replace Blair in the rotation.
