LA radio: Spurs/Nets talking sign and trade (with audio)

[TwoHandJam]

Actually, maybe they're thinking to clear the capspace so they also get Zo/PJ and resign Speedy. But we'd still need a good backup big....

[T Park Num 9]

ZO would be the PERFECT back up center.

Duncan
Brown
Bowen
Kidd
Ginobili

Mourning
Claxton
Jackson
Willis


Thats one of a team.....

[Guru of Nothing]

Hmmmm. ... Any possibilities which may include Zo AND PJ?

Hey 2-Hand, might be time to change the sig file. Are you keeping the faith?

[Solid D]

Nets sign and trade Kidd...
Spurs sign and trade Antonio Daniels, Amal McCaskill and Charles Smith.

Does that even out?

[mrcoon]

Why do ya'll keep putting Speedy in the equation? He's unrestricted and we don't have any indication that NJ is of his choice. I realize it's "back east" , his hometown area...but I wouldn't count on Speedy's help in this S&T .
Screw Jason Kidd. Sign some bigs. Keep our chemistry alive.

[Archie]

Speedy stays with Kidd? Can't complain.

[TwoHandJam]

Hmmmm. ... Any possibilities which may include Zo AND PJ?

Hey 2-Hand, might be time to change the sig file. Are you keeping the faith?

Sadly, you're absolutely right.

have to find a pic of Pop drawing smiley faces on the clipboard.

speedy still wants to start people

[Solid D]

Bowen and Parker only adds up to a little over $4M annual salary.

Rose and Parker only adds up to $5.5M roughly.

[Archie]

+$3.8 mil Solid D. Or a little more depending on how the minimum player charge is factored into such trades.

[ducks]

guys relax nothing is confirmed NOTHING IS CONFIRMED


also would duncan ship rose out?

duncan told pop give rose a LONG contract........

not saying duncan would nto trade a friend he has before but think about it.duncan saw what tp can do and if the sign speedy they have a good backup point. he also would like to play with kidd but he also likes what rose brings..

[picnroll]

So basically if this deal is for real the Spurs are giving NJ Parker to get rid of Malik's contract. Wonder inful.

[Solid D]

A sign and trade would need a better compensation match, would it not?

[Man in Black1]

:brotha

Its ing Bull ....Baseline should've already told you just how credible THAT HOST IS. HE HAS ED UP BEFORE and it happens quite a lot. Y'all just chill until Monday. TP & Malik are staying and Kidd will be announcing that he wants to play alongside them and the most dominant player in the league.

[ChumpDumper]

A sign and trade would need a better compensation match, would it not?

If you're talking about matching salaries, it's not necessary because the Spurs are under the cap. The difference would go to the Nets in the form of a trade exception.

speedy still wants to start people

And just who does NJ have that would start over Speedy? Their backup points SUCK.

As for "they would never trade Tim's buddy Malik!", I point to exhibit A, one Antonio Daniels. History. Malik GOT his damn long contract, anyway.

[ducks]

You have to consider the source, Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton is a legend in these parts but that doesn't mean he gets things RIGHT.
Observe, He cites the Newark Star-Ledger website, I'm there right now and I see nothing about it.
Also, the most classic case of yeah, Lee got it wrong, was way back in the day when Chargers-Raiders last played Monday Night Football. Raider Tailback Napoleon McCallum went underneath a pile of bodies and had his leg snapped like a twig at the knee. He had to have surgery and Hacksaw had it that the surgery resulted in am AMPUTATION...
DIDN'T HAPPEN, corrective surgery of both medial & anterior crucitate ligaments. His career was over but he definitely still had his leg.
THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU PANIC. Whatever happens will happen by Monday. Lets play it out.

[ducks]

I was talking about archie's comment about speedy. he said he would be happy if speedy stayed

[exstatic]

Oh, OK Ducks.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Think guys...

With Malik off the books, sign Zo to a big one year deal, then next year you can go after Brand and also got that Manu fella up for a new contract.

AHF

[ducks]

would zo sign a fat one year deal though when dallas is offering several years

also reports are out kidd has BROKEN OFF ALL TALKS TO NETS and SPURS TELL MONDAY.

[Archie]

Not enough room AHF

[TastesLikeChicken]

I'm going to take 18 zantac's...

Hopefully I'll regain consciousness around Wednesday morning and I'll get to skip 5 days of rumors.

[exstatic]

They could offer Zo a nice deal, but not enough, when you factor in filling out a roster, to have room next year for Brand. If it's Kidd/Zo, that's pretty much the end of big time FA shopping in the Duncan era.
