All the Spurs playing today pretty much means no trade is imminent, right?
Except Parker. I can't imagine they'd trade him yet.
Spurs are about to get Maggette just as much as the Mavs were about to get AI.

Well KG and JO are on the block.... just saying
Yeah, I would guess it means no deal is going down Monday. If a trade was a done deal, the players involved wouldn't be playing.
Mo Pete played for Toronto today, for what it's worth. Looks like maybe Maggette is really hurt and/or intends to not push it for the Clips anymore.
Maybe Tony?
Actually I could easily see Beno playing so much today being a showcase for him and the Clips.
Romo?? Naw that dude can't handle a pass
Maybe Tony?
I think he's actually hurt. It was an in-game injury that everyone saw happen against the Magic. To what extent he's hurt, who knows. I just hope it's not a reccurence of his past problem with that foot.
But he played two games since then! For something like 39 and 28 minutes a piece.
True, he may have exacerbated it, but it looks like he doesn't want to push it in any way and it's not serious.
Nobody wants to take damaged goods in a trade. Maggette is healing up for his benefit and the Clippers'.
Yeah hopefully it's not serious. It just worries me because it's the same foot.
On that note, seeing as how all trades must have league approval and assuming the league's offices are closed over the weekend, are NBA trades limited to simply weekdays or can they go down (w/approval) over the weekend?
Bump. See? Today's game is exactly why I prefer Finley over Barry.
He doesn't. He solves the scoring and 2/3 rebounding problem that the Spurs have....and those are big ones.
The Spurs still have Williams' expiring contract and a couple other trade chips to resolve the issues you mentioned.

Still not good enough to rotate the ball fast!
If Maggette doesn't come then who does? We definitely need to trade Beno and Barry, but who will the Spurs then look to get? Morris Peterson is just like Barry, and Krhyapa wouldn't be as much a plus than Maggette, and we need the kind of plus Maggette brings. And then we need another point guard for when we get rid of Beno, because we can't give all the backup time to Vaughn. Until we get a big time backup point guard, we should keep it as a 3-PG rotation.
We call big time backup point guards "starters."
You were right. One game against a bad team playing for an interim coach proves Finley is more valuable to this team against a team like Dallas than BarryBump. See? Today's game is exactly why I prefer Finley over Barry.
Unless there's some trade out there that we haven't heard about, the Maggette trade is the only deal that's out there that could help us this year and put us over the top against a Dallas.
I'm sure the majority of the trade possibilities we haven't heard about. When did a Spurs trade ever happen that was in the press before it happened?
Why do we "definitly" need to trade Barry? He's leading the league in 3's & his scoring is going to be invaluable during the palyoffs...obviously the FO see's it the same way or they would have already pulled the trigger on that trade. If we trade Beno, who is this "big time" backup PG you speak of? If we did trade Beno & didn't get a PG back, we are going to go with Parker & Vaughn? Ya..that will work out well. I'm not saying that Beno is the best backup PG ever, but I dont really see anyone who is going to come in here & solve our backup PG problems. Everyone talks about players like Earl Watson being the answer to our problems, but they dont look at the money these guys are being paid & for how long they are under contract. For the money Beno is better than just about anyone we would be able to get
IMO the Spurs will probably shake up the playing time of players if anything. If we could get Maggette for EWill & picks/cash(not gonna happen) then I would understand making the trade. We should probably see what we can get for EWill(& maybe Scola) towards the trading deadline & if there is anyone out there that can help, make a move then. It's funny what a 3 or 4 game losing streak will do...people are saying "trade TD, trade Bowen, trade Barry, fire Pop..etc...its pretty funny actually when you have people saying "lets trade TD, who is arguably the best big man in the league, so we can make a run at the championship" Who are we going to get that is going to make this team any better than what TD does? Nobody. Once we get back on track & start winning 4 out of every 5 games, people will realize how irrational all this talk is.
obviously the talk of trading any of the big 3 is completely ridiculous but trading barry who is a streaky shooter and has proven that he cannot keep up this 50% pace doesn't seem like a bad idea. after all, we have other guys who can hit from long range and adding someone who can go 15 and 6 nightly sure isn't going to hurt anything out here in spurs land. the main problem, as i see it, is that we need another scoring option because the big 3 cannot play together for the entire game. that option was supposed to be michael finley but he's on his way out. adding someone to either start or bring off the bench if we need a spark is exactly what we need. granted, i'd rather bring in a big who can can 2 and 20 (tyson chandler) but thats way out of the question.
In that case, point guards who are a reliable backup, but not a reliable starter.
I agree. That's probably the most disappointing thing about this trade already being in the press. Given the Spurs and their history with trades, this one seems very unlikely.
Is that a rule?
