TP is not being traded unless he requests it.
i would be ecstatic if we traded parker. won't hold my breath though.

Fair enough. But they still wouldn't want Monroe when they're already looking to move a big or two. Maybe they would want someone like Rudy Gay, volume scorer on a midsize contract. A move that makes lip service to winning now.
Well, yeah, the whole point was that the Spurs get Monroe. My point was that Philly would be helping someone get rid of a young big, when they are also trying to get rid of a young big. So I'm thinking that they would like to get both things done in one move, if they can get what they want. What they have wanted most for several years has been draft picks. I don't know if the Bucks would want a lower-priced young (who "fits in") as part of the return, but it makes sense to me.
Damn, I still don't see how the Spurs could get to $17M without trading Parker or Green. I don't see them trading Parker without him approving it, and I hate to think that they would trade Green for this deal - especially Green plus picks. , the first team defense would really take a hit.
I actually like the Bonner idea. Hasnt he already been renounced though?
It's a damn good idea. I don't think he's been renounced.
LOL. Could be. I can't keep up with all this anymore. I used to breathe it, but I'm just there anymore. I was just looking for any possible way of the Spurs coming up with $17M worth of assets that wouldn't crush the roster.
And the guy with the 9 TO was Simmons... Dejounte won a game he was featured in with 9 assists.
Reasons I like the Monroe potential trade
1. Gives us a young big to build with.
2. Ensures we get a quality player while staying out of the money race with other teams next year.
3. Immediately gives us a sixth man of the year potential player.
4. Can play big minutes and sub in for rest days.
5. Can play big vs the warriors at all times without taxing players with minutes.
There reasons not to want him are a real concern though, but mainly on defense. Spurs turned Aldridge into a decent defender and maybe they feel they can do the same with Monroe.
Personally, I would stay out of the Westbrook race, we would have to give up alot to get him and we would sacrifice our culture for him. I don't think patfos first option is to go after Westbrook or any other point guard if you ask me. My gut feeling is that pop wants Tony and he's old enough to not care if they win or not. He's gonna ride with his guys even if they aren't what they use to be. Manu has one year and he's done. Tony has a few more and he's done and I'm sure if pop isn't gone by then he'll go out with Tony. So my inclination is that they don't want to pursue max players next year and they are fine with Tony and letting Murray develop. After Durant pop might be done recruiting those kinds of players.
More on Monroe, you also get insurance if Pau leaves and can then go after someone like a George hill who would be a better fit.
Are you arguing something with me? I mentioned nothing about Simmons, or Dijon. Did I? ... maybe I did.
Remind me, would you?
If it costs us a chance at Chris Paul next off season then no way...
Still hopeful that the Spurs will make the sound decision of getting Thomas Robinson signed for a minimum deal...
Ok so go on the record. Do you think Murray won't be turnover prone next year if he stays on the Spurs roster?
Lol, now that I re-read the post, maybe you're agreeing with me in that there's nobody to backup Manu.
Good show! I'm Slo-Mo!
I could get behind a Murray getting major minutes this year and the next, if Pop decides it.
He put Parker there back in the day and c'mon, back then, everyone hoped about him, but nobody knew about him and Pop was initially unimpressed and had to be talked into him.
I won't commit Hari Kari (sp?) over anything the team does this year and if they go kind of crazy... Go For It!
The Times, they are a changin'!
Long winded chat, nvm i meant to reply to someone who was mentioning 9 TO in a summer league game that it was Simmons not Dijon... Dijon had a 9 assist game. If it wasn't you nvm lol
Not a worry, I was able to spin it in my head that you were on my side on whatever I was espousing about (I already forgot...).
When Parker was 19, the Spurs were starting 39 year old Terry Porter. The switch was a no brainer, Porter could barely move. But there is no reason to start Murray if Parker is on the roster bc Parker is better than Murray. And Parker was only a distributor when he came in. He hardly ever shot the ball. I don't think Murray is in that mode at all. He's shoot first. 19 year old Parker was not.
They were starting Antonio Daniels. Were you a fan then?
I want parker traded but no way would I want him traded of the plan was to give murry mpre minutes. Groce.
Murray threw away the ball a lot in summer league. So did Simmons. Not 25 year old Manu turnovers that are aggressive turnovers. Instead those two had careless turnovers. They aren't ready to run the Spurs against other teams' starting point guards.
Murray isn't a pg, which is why he TOS it with ignorance. He's an attacker that coaches told to drive to the rim and everyone else to get out of the way. His vision is terrible. I would look for him to be the manu replacement over the tony replacement.
Yes. Spurs soured on Daniels , tried Porter, and then went to Parker. He was better than the other two. Murray isn't better than Parker. He will be in two years, hopefully, but not now.
