Reasonable trade ideas

[pad300]

A couple of fine tuning trades...

1) Objective : Backup SF for Bowen & Small ball PF.
Suggested Solution : James Singleton, LAC
Core Deal - Singleton for James White or Beno Udrih
Initial Offer : White/Udrih for Singleton
Willing to Pay : Up to White + Beno or Udrih/White + 2nd round pick

2) 4/5 reinforcement and a more reliable backup PG

Suggested Solution: Trade with the Phillies for Kevin Ollie & Steven Hunter
Basic Deal - Hunter, Ollie for Eric Williams, Butler
Initial Offer - Butler & Williams + 2nd round pick for Hunter, Ollie
Willing to Pay: Butler, Williams, Spurs 1st/rights to Scola for Hunter, Ollie, Philly 2nd.

or Alternative larger deal

Basic Deal
Hunter, Ollie, Joe Smith for Williams, Butler, Bonner, Finley
Willing to Pay : Butler, Williams, Bonner, Finley, Spurs 1st/Rights to Scola for Hunter, Ollie, Joe Smith, Philly 2nd

Note : The larger deal may be much more attractive for Philly - it makes a significant saving in lux tax for them this year ( and the next 2 years, as Webbers contract comes off the books). However, it forces the Spurs into Lux tax territory this year. On the other hand, Smith's expiring contract is larger than that of Bonner and Williams combined.

Najera would be a VERY GOOD addition as he can play hard-nosed defence against Josh Howard and even Dirk Nowitzki. He can also rebound and is an all-around winner/hustle player. Foster is a great offensive rebounder and is also a perfect fit for Spurs.

We need to address rebounding and small forward deficit so between the two, Najera is probably a better fit as he can play different roles whereas Foster is strictly a garbage pick-up guy with great rebounding skills.

I like Najera,good D,big heart.

I´d do Finley for Najera stright up

Vasquez looks like a solid pick despite the fact that he has been unwilling to come over to the NBA. Before the team makes any trades to bring over an international player they need to have some discussions with the guy to ensure that he will be in uniform.

Apparently, Vasquez turned down the spot on the magic because he didn't want to be "Dwight Howard's career backup". Surely he wouldn't want to be behind Duncan either then. Do we think he could be a starting center-type of guy?

Howard is the franchise cornerstone at 21 years old and has potentially 15 more years with the organization. Duncan is not Vasquez' peer in any way and has probably 5 or 6 years left in the black and silver. There's a difference...

Read a little more into the Magic trade rumors and apparently they're looking for inside help....so here's one more.

Barry + Butler (+ pick?) for Arroyo + Trevor Ariza + Rights to Fran Vasquez

The Magic get a shooter and another inside presence....

The Spurs get the backup PG, the long three, and a replacement for Butler in the long-term.

, throw in rights to scola as well!!

[ArgSpursFan]

yeah,and throw Duncan in there too.....

The larger Philly deal is horrible for the Spurs..& we throw in Scolas rights?
No thanks.

The two players the Magic have said are untouchable, are Howard & Ariza. I wouldn't mind getting the rights to Vasquez, if the price wasn't too high..He might be good insurance in 4 or 5 years.

Damn right

[yavozerb]

Barry and Beno- Duhon and Khrypa

[ChumpDumper]

Barry and Beno- Duhon and Khrypa

Why would Chicago do that?

[yavozerb]

dixon-oulaw- beno, williams, scola rights

[Chris Childs]

Why would Chicago do that?

Thats actually good trade for the spurs!
I will get that done in a heartbeat!

[yavozerb]

Why would Chicago do that?

Why not!!
I think barry would be great for that team and krypa barely get PT..

[ChumpDumper]

Why not!!

Because they are looking for a post scoring big man!!

[Mr. Body]

I could see Chicago post that trade if it included Scola, but not until this summer.

I forget who originally suggested it on this board -- Scola+Barry or Scola+Williams/Udrih for Duhon+Khryapa.

What's wrong with Scola?

[yavozerb]

Because they are looking for a post scoring big man!!

Thats why scola is included in the deal and could help bulls possible as early as next year for alot less $ than a FA signing..

[ArgSpursFan]

What's wrong with Scola?

I don´t lnow man,they just don´t see the whole picture

[ChumpDumper]

They want help now.

for alot less $ than a FA signing..

Negative. If Scola was going to go for alot less than a FA signing, he'd already be a Spur.

[Mr. Body]

FWIU, Scola could have been had at $3M/per. That's very cheap for a (potentially) good inside scorer.

[yavozerb]

They want help now.Negative. If Scola was going to go for alot less than a FA signing, he'd already be a Spur.

Ok how about this then..
Duhon, Kryhpa, Sefolosha, 2nd round pick -Beno, barry, butler, Scola rights
better or worse??

[ChumpDumper]

I think you haven't seen Bulter "play basketball" this season.

[yavozerb]

Maybe the bulls havn't either.

[ChumpDumper]

I think if the Sonics let Andre Brown go, the Bulls could pick him up and be ready for a post season run without trading for any of our detritus.

[yavozerb]

Andre brown, are you kidding me!!If that is all their missing for a deep run into the playoffs then they probably should do their shopping in the NBDL!!
