interesting trade rumor (actually makes sense!)

[Agloco]

I've never seen so many bull trade rumors on here before. It's worse than last year, and we haven't even seen the draft yet.

Sense?

I came across this trade rumor in the "comments" section of the OKC Thunder's TrueHoop blog. (I'm from Oklahoma and was a Spurs fan long before we got our own team, so now I try to keep up with both...) Could be a bunch of crap, but it sounded so legit compared to some of the trade's I've seen on here that I thought I'd throw it out there for discussion if nothing else. I would probably accept this trade, but I guess it depends on what you think of Speights and who's available at #12.

Here's the exact post:

Take this with a grain of salt…no real source:

“RUMORS out of Philadelphia…Sixers, Spurs and Jazz about to announce a three team trade.

Sixers send Andre Iguodala to Utah for the #3 Pick in this years draft. Sixers also get Memet Okur and R. Bell.

The spurs then send Tony Parker to Utah for the #12 Pick, Utahs 2nd round pick next year and Devin Harris and the Sixers M Speights”

Again, it's not likely to happen, but I've heard far more ridiculous scenarios than this one!

So the spurs get a "poor man" Tony Parker, the 12th pick of a poor draft and next year 2nd round pick?

Are you insane or what????

Touche, you're certainly en led to it.



Change simply for the sake of change is quite dangerous. This is a business in the end. It's about putting a profitable, compe ive product on the floor.

I simply don't see how adding Devin Harris, Marcus (Mareese...whatever) Speights and the 12th from a weak draft pool help to accomplish that.

I agree with you on that, it would definitely be a gamble. And by no means am I saying that if we made that trade we'd win it all next year or anything. At best, the talent swap would come out even. (Although, I'm apparently the only one who sees it working out that way!) But maybe just having some new faces would change the atmosphere a little. Or maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic after watching the finals game from Manu's rookie year, but I just want some players in here who are "hungry" again. Do Harris, Speights, and #12 fit that description? I honestly can't say, but I do know a few players on the current team definitely do not.

Pick should be higher.

I'm so sure the 6ers and Spurs are going to help Utah out THAT much by giving them TP AND Iggy? I don't think so.....

If you insert george hill where it says tony parker I'd do this in a NY second. Now that's a deal
