No Trade Imminent

[TDMVPDPOY]

clearly his playin mind games now and something is going down

that tech foul throwout against the knicks isnt fake, he had to run back to the office for an emergency trade call....

Yeah, the trade deadline should be very quiet for Spurs. Aside of a potential financial trade with JA, nothing should happen.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if there is a trade, it better be a big

[sehui]

I think we should expect something. It's been a while since someone on SA actually demanded a trade, and SA doesn't deal with people who don't want to be here. I expect Anderson to get traded, hopefully in a good deal, but don't be too optimistic.

Also, I agree with the CIA Pop calls.
I just recently read that Kwahi article - the Spurs intentionally never directly talked to Kwahi to keep their interest on the downlow - how CIA is that ?! No scouting at all directly, just a ton of research.

Also, in fact I believe when we grabbed Kurt Thomas in that trade 4 years back there was also like barely any inkling that we'd be going for a trade, yet we pull it off hours before the deadline.

they don't need to salary dump him he's gone next year anyway

Which is why he'll be very easy to salary dump.

Besides, that didn't stop them from dumping Theo Ratliff is much the same way.

There has to be a reason Bonner and Blair didn't play a lot of minutes last night.

So...when is this deal going to happen?

Tyrus Thomas is another guy that has gone the way of Diaw with CHA. Not so much Spurs related, but wouldnt be surprised if they dump him if they can find any takers.

Interesting. I was mulling about that same thought a couple of days ago. Looked into a trade scenario. Came up with this.

Probably a meh scenario...but addresses many components of current and potential future issues regarding all teams involved in both talent and structural environment.

They're gonna bring in the ERSANITY.

[Keepin' it real]

Well, let's see, we all know Tim, Tony and Manu aren't going anywhere, and I doubt they would trade Kawhi. So based on Pop's quote from the Kawhi article ("If you're going to get something good, you're going to have to give up something good."), I think we better say our goodbyes to Mr. Clutch, Gary Neal.

The only other "good" player is Tiago, and although it makes no sense to trade him, he and Neal are the only two players who could help the Spurs get something good back in a trade.

[TimmehC]

^I can see Neal going to Utah on draft day, tbh. Not so sure whether they would move him before then.

[TJastal]

Interesting. Just a gut feeling, but that makes me think nothing is going to happen.

Pop may not be bluffing this time. Besides, every good gambler knows, you can't always bluff, gotta play it straight every once in awhile to keep your opponents off guard.

[Bruno]

So based on Pop's quote from the Kawhi article ("If you're going to get something good, you're going to have to give up something good.")

This quote was made last June just after the draft. I don't know why you wnat to base something on that.

spurs need a future crippling trade. if i still have optimism that the spurs have enough young prospects/draft picks/salary cap to survive the era after the big 3, the front office did not do a good job. i'm looking at okafor.

Resting them for the playoffs.

"It's quiet," as the cavalry whispers while riding through Indian country.

"Too quiet."

[bigfan]

Tim, Manu and Tony need to retire Spurs. Id keep Tiago and Leonard. Everyone else could be tradebait.
