By trading Beno, our backup point is a question mark. That position is important and trading a guy like Beno will make it our weakness.
How can you say no way usckk?
There's only three untradeables on this team - Tim, Manu, and Tony (and I reckon if the right deal came along either of the latter two would be gone). I might give you Barry, because of Pop's manlust for him in the off-season and the fact he took less money to come here.

Whottt I think most likely Beno came late to practice or partied a little too hard in Denver. The only other option I think is the Spurs are packaging him to Utah for Boozer.
Udrih fits in the Stockton mold that Sloan needs/wants. Pop watched Boozer play all summer and would know whether he fits on the Spurs. Larry Miller has called out Boozer for being soft. He couldn't be any softer than Rasho.
Make it happen.
Malik Rose, Beno and a 1st round pick for Boozer? does that do it?
THat would do it, but financially it doesn't benefit the Spurs.
Man, Boozer next to Duncan would be phenomanal. But it's not going to happen tomorrow. Beno has just been off the past few weeks, I think thats all it comes down too.
I think he was probably late or something.
Financially?
How about having the best front court in the NBA along with Tony and Manu for the next 5 or so years?
Who gives a crap about what the Spurs do financially........? Thats their problem. I just want to be a fan of a winning team......
Beno siad 36 you knows in the pre-game interview (no joke, I counted) which probably pissed Pop off.
No.Malik Rose, Beno and a 1st round pick for Boozer? does that do it?
HmmmI think TimVP might be on to something...
Boozer kind of looked up to Duncan in the Olympics...he was trying very hard to learn from Duncan...
Pop wanted Rasho to do that, but it hasn't worked out that way. He knows Boozer already wants to do that...
How about Beno, Scola and 1 or possibly 2 of the Spurs first round draft picks?
Beno and Scola will come fairly cheap...Utah gurantees itself a trip to the lottery, plus they get two additional 1st round picks...A PF who probably will be about what Boozer is, as well as a quality PG in Beno.
I could see Pop calling the Jazz, as soon as he heard about Utah trading Boozer to LA, and saying, "tell me what you want for Boozer, you can have whoever you want that isn't named Parker, Ginobili, or Duncan"
I could see Pop getting antsy enough over the Mourning signing to gamble on Barry as back up PG and let go of Beno...
And FWIW that would be an awesome trade.
Except...why are the Jazz trying to get rid of Boozer all of a sudden? Something is up with that guy...
Only $8 million to go....How about Beno, Scola and 1 or possibly to of the Spurs first round draft picks?
I thought Utah was under the cap...
So they could take back more salary in trade.
Not us.
Cap wise Malik and Beno isnt enough, nor is Rasho and Beno
All three however works....
Beno and Malik for Marshall and Palacio would be ridiculous. Beno and Rose for Boozer would be incredible, but that's a pipe dream. Also, I'd never trade Rasho for Boozer. Not that Boozer isn't a much better player, but he takes spots Duncan likes on the block and he can't block a shot to save his life.
no one cares what you doubt/not doubt. Its pure speculation but its going to a pretty quite forum if we dont speculate isn't it.
I could see Sloan liking Malik...Sloan likes tough players, people can bash Malik all they want, bu that mofo is tough.
But Malik doesn't put us at 8 million either...
But if Boozer comes here Scola is totally expendable...so I'd guess Scola would have to be part of the trade.
I dunno but it won't surprise me if the Spurs know some trick to get a trade done that our capologists haven't noticed...I remember no one caught the Ferry loophole.
Doesn't Malik have some kind of trade kicker as well? Would something like that put his value at 8 million?
Spur trades are never expected.
If this one is predicted correctly it will be the first.
Well since you are one with the Popsac above all others...why don't you tell us what you think...
Don't see the Spurs making a move unless they can unload Malik. How badly they want to do that will dictate the deal. We are in first place after all, and our needs are a bit specific for just making any old trade.
did you guys ever consider beno just being tired?
Tired of what?
