Beno and Barry for S Jackson?

[ducks]

28 year old swingman who can score and defend. Not afraid of crunchtime. His contract has 4 years and $27.3 mil left on his contract. Not that cheap, but for someone who can score and play like he can that's reasonable. Considering that the Spurs would be hard pressed to land a similiar talent for less than $50 mil it's not that bad.

Spurs fans act like the perimeter rotation is just fine. Bowen, Finley, and Barry are well into their 30s. Manu is best when not counted on to play heavy minutes. If you bring Jack to SA then he gives you plenty of minutes and scoring and defense.

spurs need to get some youth but this year they need to address their bigmen first

[strangeweather]

what need does jackson solve
the only might be youth
but spurs did not lose because they were old

I don't think he fills a huge need, and if it's a choice between Jack and a hardcore need like a mobile, rebounding PF, it's a no brainer which to choose.

But if no better deals materialize, trading up from Barry to Jackson would be a step in the right direction, and could help to keep the minutes down for Manu and Bowen.

[SPARKY]

barry shots better then him
if barry played the way he did after he was almost traded
we would not be talking about this
however he did not

stephen jackson is not going to take bowen's place
will he come off the bench
will manu be ok permantly coming off the bench?

Ugh. Are Bowen and Manu never going to leave the starting lineup? Are they never going to see their minutes decrease? It's this type of thinking which will F the Spurs over in a year or two.

When the best available bigman is Scot Pollard can the Spurs actually add some talent to the team?

God, no.

No more youth...add vets who can help you win now while our window is open. In my opinion that's the next 4-5 years. We could have a fistfull of rings by the end of that...and ten we'll still have tony/manu to build off of.


Stop trying to get young players!

stephen jackson will be 30 in 2 years when he is starting then
then you have to find someone to replace him then

get someone younger......

[ducks]

mike,manu and bowen are going to fine for 2 years

if you get a younger player now

you would be fine in 2 years

or you can hope that spurs sign that vet to a min deal for a chance at the le

which is possible or use the mle on them

He'd still be younger than every current Spurs' swingman today save for Manu. Try again.

[ducks]

and he would be on the block every year like barry to try to improve the team
would that be ok with you?

[SPARKY]

Spurs fans seem to think that every player wants to play in SA. They don't. SA may hold an allure for players at the end of their careers looking for a ring but otherwise it's sharing the spotlight in a small market and you already have TD, TP, and Manu getting theirs. If you can get the talent in a trade, you do it and you don't complain.

Having assets is a good thing, guy.

[SPARKY]

Doubtful.

[zeleni]

Not a bad trade for the Spurs. Problem is this works for 2 years and then managment will look for replacements

Finley, Bowen, 2nd PG, and a reliable SG (Manu injured or something)

I would look for so many players to replace. Spurs were looking for 2 years just to come up with Finley. Beno fell from the sky.

So I'd say no one goes until we get a decent PG differing to TP.

[SPARKY]

Hey, it's 2006. Let's give TD the best supporting cast now.

[Slinkyman]

God, no.

MORE YOUTH? what youth do we have now? NONE! Matt Bonner and Beno are the only guys on our bench UNDER 30! WE NEED YOUTH! Right now our average team age is 66

[ducks]

spurs will draft there guy next year to replace manu
WATCH

[Slinkyman]

Let's trade for Sjax and start him at PF

I meant young players we would have to develop.

If it's "youth" who can come in and contribute, go for it. But don't with our window of opportunity right now with Duncan/Manu.

stephen jackson is not a big assest

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Let's trade for Sjax and start him at PF

SJax at PF > Finley at PF

[Please_dont_ban_me]

stephen jackson is not a big assest

...and Beno Udrih is?

did you forget tp

[Slinkyman]

SJax at PF > Finley at PF

Bonner at PF> SJax at PF

[ducks]

...and Beno Udrih is?

manu is a better assest then either of those players

[SPARKY]

stephen jackson is not a big assest

Today, not so much. Tomorrow, after playing well and helping the Spurs win another le...

Man, the Spurs cannot be as choosy as some of you believe they can be.
