Lakers making deals...Spurs keep Bonner

[Zelophehad]

tbh Joe Smith sucked in the 90s, all he can do is take charges and hit an occasional jumper. Big deal.

[Darkwaters]

Don't you think Bonner is more of a value to our team than bringin in someone else via trade?? Bonner is shooting well right now and the team is playing well together...No reason to change anything that is working.

I agree with that. If the Spurs are going to make any moves it needs to be with players currently outside any conceivable rotation. The only exception to that would be Udoka (but hes not tradeable for a while anyways) since hes just a stopgap fill-in anyways.

This team is jiving so well right now I wouldn't screw with it at all.

The lakers adding smith is a fianncial move and one that can spare gasol some minutes if bynum goes down again, that´s it.

I love it when ducks comments on Sequ's threads

[Vito Corleone]

i'm not...nor am i overestimating him... But this is a sequ thread. Sequ's threads are .

fify

This thread makes me want to rape a blind midget

[Cry Havoc]

Very good deal by the Lakers.

Fantastic deal by the Nets, one of the best moves for any team this season.

HORRIBLE deal for the Rockets. Wtf are they thinking?

Blah Blah Blah

[ClingingMars]

I would like to challenge Sequ to a bet. If the Spurs get past the first round, you are in self-imposed "can't start threads" mode for one year. If the Spurs fail to make the playoffs, or lose in the first round . . . name your price.

or just pink him

just do it Kori/timvp

Grey Spurs fan with yet another stellar contribution.

I think his point was that the back to back champs are doing things (whether it be for financial or basketball reasons) and are not resting. They are active.

He probably wants the same from the Spurs because there are holes that can be filled via trade and opportunities to poach some talent for cheap (although it's difficult when you are over the cap and are trying to stay under the tax line).

Sorry we have a life outside of Spurstalk.

Unlike yourself with 12,000 posts and no medal.

Get a life and get a clue.

[Solid D]

That's a great trade for Lakers but it is a financial move.
They'll save $4.6M in luxury tax and about $3.2M in salary. It's $7.8M saved at the cost of a late first round pick. Late first round pick are usually sold $3M in cash, do the math...
BB wise, Joe Smith should be at the deep end of the bench like Vujacic. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lakers adding a guard like Antonio Daniels before the playoffs because they only have 4 guards under contract.

Nets also do really well in this trade. They are a rebuilding team that got 2 first round picks without giving up a lot.

I don't get this trade for Rockets. They are just stockpiling average players without a goal and create logjams. Maybe there is a bigger picture but it seems they are lost on what they should do.

Wayyyyy too much insight into the numbers, Bruno. May I suggest you move your comments to a thread more worthy?

This thread is solely about Sequ's hormonal feelings about Matt Bonner and has nothing really to do with the Lakers.

[Cessation]

cool story bro

[ohmwrecker]

or just pink him

just do it Kori/timvp

Won't happen. For whatever reason, Sequ has carte blanche around here. I was just curious if he would stand behind his statement or if he is truly full of . I think we all know the answer.

lol DPG translating Sequ

[DPG21920]

I took a class tbh...I am bilingual.

go back to reading your newspapers solid d......

I got this...

[SequSpur]

I gotta say, I haven't even been on SpursTalk all that long, but this gimmick you got going on Sequ is getting pretty damn old. Does making threads like this all the time fufill you with some type of sense of accoplishment or something? I mean really dude?

Welcome!

[SequSpur]

so short stuff what player do you think spurs can get for booner?

really dude? booner?

[DPG21920]

Sequ, I'm going to list some posters and you tell us if they know their sh*t:

Ducks:

Solid D:

Kori:

Mouse:

[SequSpur]

Ducks: dumber than a box of rocks

Solid D: with the express news, this guy is deadly

Kori: she is the owner, so of course, she is tops.

Mouse: doesn't know much of anything unless he can photoshop it.

[DPG21920]

Good take

[arodz]

Don't underestimate Joe Smith, the guy is/has been a vital cog to a lot of great teams in the past.

Can you name any specific examples? And keep in mind...you said GREAT.

[TJastal]

Can you name any specific examples? And keep in mind...you said GREAT.

He played on some damn good timberwolves teams back in the 90's, was on the cavs team team a few years ago, also the hawks.

Okay, maybe not great, but he's been on good teams in the past.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Great, another mindless thread from Sequ.
