Make me the GM of the San Antonio Spurs...

[Kewni Leonard]

Did you even ask them to hire you?

Yes, in this thread.

Yes, in this thread.

Then you're doing it wrong.

Care to give a better trade idea?

For this year?...it be the one that doesn't happen.

Right, so you think we're equipped to handle LeBron James and Dwyane Wade attacking the rim if we get that far?

A good GM would get both of those players on the Spurs.

Make you a GM and the Spurs would not have sniffed a championship. Also, you are judging Cory Joseph on a handful of mins with no real training camp. Now that's funny. I'll take Pops and Buford's record over drafting players than most GM's in the league. That's not to say they have not made mistakes but show me a GM that hasn't.

I've got some really old news for you: the only reason Pop and RC ever even sniffed the NBA finals is because they won the Tim Duncan lottery.

TD turned as much of their into gold as was humanly possible

Yea really great coaches never actually get to coach great players. Phil Jackson ringing, despite having to coach Jordan, Pippen and then Shaq and Kobe, was one of the best coaching jobs ever, imo, fwiw, ftr, etc....

Yep

For Lebron and Wade you need at least 3 good perimeter defenders. The Mavs had Marion, Stevenson, and Kidd. We have Leonard, Green, and Manu.

Given that the Bobcats are doing so poorly they might consider this one:

Spurs do it because this would probably benefit them more than using their amnesty on RJ. They also get 2 veterans that could work themselves into the rotation. Bobcats can't trust Maggette with his injuries - say what you want about RJ (there's a lot to say) but he's remained healthy.

Bobcats have almost given up on Thomas and his contract is almost a wash with RJ's in total $ amount. Thomas is only 25 and a dissapointment so far, but you can't teach talent (though you can teach discipline).
