The problem with the Spurs is that they are just not as good as Dallas.
Their defense is not as good.
Their offense is not as good.
Duncan is declining, there is no arguing that.
Pop is outcoached by AJ and Cuban is a mastermind.
Basically, Dallas > SA
Sa needs a trade but in the end will it make THAT much of a difference?
The only thing that bothers me is that everytime there were big articles about the Spurs making a trade, it almost never happend. The most trades came out of nowhere. I really hope this changes this time. I would really like this trade and I hope it goes down asap...
A cool thing is that I will be able to watch the game tonight an tomorrow is my birthday, so I hope the Spurs win and get "me" Maggette as a birthday present...
theres a reason hes where hes at....
So they don't need a trade.Sa needs a trade but in the end will it make THAT much of a difference?
You mean Houston?
Sure, he's a good rebounder.
exactly
a trade is only good for a few more wins in the regular season and false hope.
Well I'm glad you set that straight. You can go now.
Stop trolling.
Thanks.
come on doll, i just wanna chat hoops with you.
speculation :
They have signed Luke Jackson for the monday game against Hornets : with injured players and players not ready to play because of a trade, they will be shorthanded for this game.
W-90-85
W-95-92
L-97-91
The Mavs are just slightly better than SA and if SA does make a trade, unless its for an All Star, they will still lose in the playoffs.
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag.A cool thing is that I will be able to watch the game tonight an tomorrow is my birthday, so I hope the Spurs win and get "me" Maggette as a birthday present...
Makes sense.
That's why Bruno gets paid the big bucks.
P.S.
And if you are going to trade Maggette and Singleton, signing a swingman instead of a guard would make sense.
The only shake-up Spurs need, is firing Pop.
Bring on Maggette!
If we can Singleton too, it will be a dream trade. To me, he is one of the best candidate for the famous long 3.
Even if we can't get Maggette, I'd like to get him.
Well Luke Jackson was realy good but I think his time has passed. we need some fresh blood. Luke is 66 right now
If the Spurs ever landed Maggette, that would be sick. He would be pretty helpful to this aging Spurs team. , I'd even consider having him replace Bowen in the starting lineup (transitionally of course). I'm sure that's outrageous to some, but I think it would make the Spurs much tougher to contain, and in turn, tougher to beat. It would be a sort of "help Maggette help the Spurs" move. I'm sure he's leaving LA because he wants to start, or at the very least wants starter minutes. Why not give it to him? Something like: Elson (C), Duncan (PF), Maggette (SF), Ginobili (SG), Parker (PG), Bowen (6th Man)... As much as Bowen is a premier defender, he's offense is not very great. The top notch players that guard him for his 30 mpg don't exactly have much to guard. It's 4 on 5 out there. He isn't really getting any younger either. Who knows, a role as a defensive specialist off the bench could maximize his talent, while not wearing him out. If he came off the bench, it'd be a big contrast to Fin and Barry coming off the bench. Instead of the defense sacrificing, it would improve for once.
There's something I can't get in all the "duncan declining" posts/issue.
6 months ago, the guy was a monster against in the mavs series, playing MVP like and then 1st of january 2007, at 30, he would be declining, too old, have nothing left ?
can you really imagine that type of player, any player, could decline that fast ?
he may have problems/concerns and get rough a hard phase but declining ??
Take some perspective, duncan has still plenty to give and will be decisive in the future. I can put all my bookie cash on it.
Well, maybe I'll save 5 or 10 $ just in case
Let's wait and see if Brent will play today
no. They can have Barry and Udrih or whatever. If I'm the Spurs, I DO NOT part with Bonner.
That is something that you shouldn't need to coach. A player should know that. If not, then Pop is a dumb-ass for not imploring Duncan to go for the "kill shot" foul to get Dirk out of the game.
Never heard of him, but he sounds very tempting. That would be a great trade.Actually, a throw in I'd actually like is James Singleton. He's a 6-foot-8, 230 pound small forward who can jump out of the gym. He can rebound and defend. Doesn't have much of a jumper but he's a hustle guy who can fly.
Barry and Beno for Maggette and Singleton would be the trade of the decade. The Spurs would go from an aging team to a highly athletic team in one trade.
And if you want to pull out your tin hats, Singleton didn't play against the Hawks despite playing in 5 of their last 6 games. And that was with Maggette and Cassell out of the lineup.
Interesting.
Originally, I was thinking that, assuming the Spurs part with Beno, they would want to get a backup PG in return - a la Daniel Ewing, perhaps.
