Rumor: Manu for KG

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Oberto for Wallace. Straight Up.

[J.T.]

I would become a Mav Fan if that happened. F that trade idea.

[Buddy Holly]

That's odd.

Manu and Barry combine for over 13M. You should just have to get to 15M to make the trade work. That's within 25% of Garnett's 20M.

I thought it was 20%. Also, KG is making 21 million I believe.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Not that there's a snowball's chance in of this trade happening, but...

KG: 21 million

Manu: 8.25 million
Barry: 5.2 million
E. Williams: 4.3 million
=================
17.7 million

17.7 million * 125% = 22.1 million, so the trade would go through.

Throw in a couple of draft picks, the rights to Scola, and maybe McHale would go Isiah Thomas on us.

[Slinkyman]

I'd rather give up Parker then Manu and i think Parker's value is higher, but it would have to be for a stud PF that could play next to Tim. KG fits the bill but is too old and makes too much.

[ducks]

tp has a longer career ahead of him then manu

[picnroll]

The lack of Spurs' front office activity has obviously caused some to go over the edge.

[Slinkyman]

tp has a longer career ahead of him then manu

But IMO he'll never be as good as Manu. He's a good scorer but to me he'll never be much more then that.

[ducks]

both were allstars

[ducks]

who is going to give kg and duncan the ball?

[Slinkyman]

who is going to give kg and duncan the ball?

Parker has a hard enough time getting Duncan the ball, we're not getting KG so i'm not even going to worry about it though.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

who is going to give kg and duncan the ball?

Make the trade and sign Marcus Banks with the MLE.

Why are we talking about it though? Our front office doesn't have the balls to do a deal like this, and I doubt McHale is dumb enough. Maybe if Isiah was in charge, but not Kevin.

[ducks]

so ahf would you give up manu and parker?
and then sign banks

[Kori Ellis]

I thought it was 20%. Also, KG is making 21 million I believe.

It's 25%. If it's 21M then Manu+Barry+Horry is about 200K short of working.

[Kori Ellis]

Where did this rumor come from anyway? This is the second thread about Manu for KG in the last few days.

[baseline bum]

That's odd.

Manu and Barry combine for over 13M. You should just have to get to 15M to make the trade work. That's within 25% of Garnett's 20M.

I thought it had to be 15% + $150,000

ie,

KG = $21,000,000


for

Manu = $8,250,000
Barry = $5,117,880
Williams = $4,296,000
+ $150,000
+ rights to Scola
+ 5000 lb red-hair
+ plane ticket for McHale to flee to Cuba

We'd still need to fit in an extra $36K in salary. Perhaps Udrih, Melvin Sanders, Oberto...


Was 25% something included under the newest CBA, because I'm almost certain it used to be 15%?

[Kori Ellis]

I thought it had to be 15% + $150,000

No, it changed last year.
It's 25% plus $100K now.

[Slinkyman]

You're overrating McHale, he's the guy that gave Wally his crazy deal. He also tried paying Joe Smith under the table and i'm sure there more i just can't think of right now.

[IcemanCometh]

Where did this rumor come from anyway?

A little bird told me. I don't believe in it, but weirder things have happened. Who expected Shaq for Grant+ Odom?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

so ahf would you give up manu and parker?
and then sign banks

Both, no. It would suck to see Manu leave but we'd create the penultimate Twin Towers tandem of all time with that dela.

Manu
Barry
Eric Williams
Rights to Scola
2-3 draft picks in the coming years

Traded Cassell for Marko Jaric, signed Kandi Man, signed Hassell to a laughable contract...

[spurschick]

I'd want some serious first round picks for this to happen. KG just turned 30, which doesn't put us in any better position in terms of youth. Plus, who would be our starting 2... Finley? With Brent as backup? IMO, it's like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

[Slinkyman]

gave mark madsen a five year deal

[baseline bum]

McHale is far and away the worst GM in the NBA. Marco Jaric has to be the worst signing I've ever seen. Everyone knew this guy was crap. I watched him all the time as a Clipper and hated him. I can't believe he has a job.

[gregpschneid]

I also heard they might trade the whole spurs team for the whole Heat team. What a Joke.
