Spurs trade targets for big men

[chazley]

Let's talk about potential trades for bigs. Who's out there that can come in and fill the void left by Tiago? Kaman is an obvious answer, but his salary is too large.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Wow. What a completely new and untapped idea for a thread.

It's nice to get an official post for this new need we have.

Any chance they will give Malcolm Thomas another chance, he may finally have an opportunity to show his worth?

I think we can do better than Malcolm. I think the Spurs viewed him as a stopgap 5th big with upside, not someone who can come in and give us the 20 minutes we need from our 4th big to avoid a Bonner/Blair pairing.

Sorry, done hearing about Fesenko and Pryzbilla. Signing is not the same thing as trading.

[chazley]

No!! Read my thread.

Pryzbilla has already publicly stated he's signing with Miami or one other team I don't remember (Chicago I'm pretty sure). He's not coming to the Spurs.

Minn is a good trade target. Their roster is over loaded with bigs and need more wing players.

Fairly certain that D Howard is going to come in a trade for Bonner, Jefferson and Blair.

hmmm pipe dream time - How about a package around Manu/Splitter for D Howard and Ryan Anderson? Throw in Blair, draft rights to Lorbek, first round pick.

ANd leave Howard and Duncan as the only bigs while Tiago is hurt?

The problem with making a trade for a big is we have a bunch of near minimum level salary guys that are are the most attractive pieces to teams, and we can't throw in Bonner or Blair because we need them. If we could somehow pull off Kaman for next year first rounders and a protected 2014 first round pick, I think that would be a good trade.

Yeah, except when you're over the cap, you can't just absorb a 14M contract like that.

Yi Jianlian

[tuncaboylu]

Chris Andersen.

Chris Andersen.

Makes too much money. Don't have the right pieces to put together a deal.

[chazley]

Yi Jianlian

Yi has looked decent in extended minutes, but I'm not convinced he's a full-time big yet. We need someone who can soak up minutes at center. On top of that, it's Dallas. Snowball's chance in we make a trade with them.

[SpurNation]

Leonard and Anderson for D. Cousins.

[jermaine]

Is there anyway to get Tyrus Thomas from Jordan? What do you guys think it would take?
