Elson?
If LJ Ellis is willing to work cheaper than RC Buford, he might become the next Spurs GM.
Chucky isn't a good defender and is a chucker (low FG%). However, he is still better than Vaughn and better than the actual Beno. Unless Beno turns the corner before the trade deadline (it's less and less likely), I'll trade Beno for him.
I don't think Spurs should trade a lot to get him, Beno+late second round pick is the most I think they should offer to get him. I wouldn't trade the Bucks second round pick for him.
43% fg is still way better than what Beno shoots
I agree, but the key phrase is "if the Grizz were interested."
I think Beno still has potential and his psyche isn't irrepairably damaged, but it will take a change of scenery. In that way, it's like the JR Smith deal. In the end he was gotten for peanuts (Eisley's expiring contract? CMON!), but he just needed a change of scenery. IMO, Beno will be had for peanuts and will end up a decent backup PG in this league.
Bottom Line: Atkins > Peanuts = no deal
Yeah, I don't know if it's a good sign if SpursTalk is ahead of the Spurs' front office. I've been targeting Chucky Atkins as of late, but more out of knowing what the Spurs would look for rather than his skill level.
Atkins is a player on an expiring contract on a bad team that probably doesn't plan on re-signing him. If that is the case, the Grizzlies might as well get something for him instead of just letting him walk at the end of the season.
But yeah, as Bruno said, he isn't a player you give up much for. The trade I like is Eric Williams, Beno Udrih and a 2nd round pick for Chucky Atkins and Jake Tsakalidis. Tsakalidis is another expiring contract and he's a big body the Spurs could use to throw again Shaq or Yao.
^^I like that trade, works for both teams. I wanted the Spurs to sign this guy in the offseason and we ended up with Vaughn, your right though, if a trade goes down that we have been talking about for awhile, thats a little scary
I like it...
I haven't been watching any Grizz games this year so I'm asking what their stance is with Stromile Swift. I know he's been out lately with back spasms but if I recall they didn't really want him back when they traded for Rudy Gay.
I was thinking about Stro Show too, but I think he might have a huge contract, and Im not sure if we need another big who cant rebound
I know he's got 2 years left on his contract but don't know how much he's really getting paid. I just like the idea of getting a long athletic big man. Just a thought.
I could see Udrih shooting himself out of his slump and not having Pop-demon in his head. He could be decent for the run 'n' gun Grizz.
He would be a good fit for the Spurs.
A good thought, Ive always liked Stro Show, he just never seems to want to work hard
Another thing to think about is Jerry West is a big Fabricio Oberto fan. I wouldn't trade Oberto in a package just to get Atkins, but perhaps if they want to throw in one of their athletes (Dahntay Jones, Alexander Johnson, etc.) something can be done.
God, have we really fallen as far as to want Jake Tsakalidis?
Sigh...
I wouldn't trade for Atkins...
Back up PG is not going to be the difference in our season...SF is. Save Beno for that trade.
Besides, Atkins has a history of cancerous actions...our team has enough chemistry issues right now, for the first time in a long time, and Atkins sure as isn't going to fix that issue.
I say we kick Finley's ass to the curb and give his spot to Williams...he's an uptight player and the Spurs have taken on his uptight demeanor. That'll do more to improve our immediate championship prospects than trading for big mouthed chucker like Crapkins.
Holt has made Spurs fans lust after Chucky Atkins.
Anyway they would give up Warrick instead of Atkins
Backup point guard is far more important than you're thinking. I honestly think having any type of scoring in that spot when Tony leaves the court is really important.
I would love Chucky Atkins.
BTW, I think its far more likely Peter V is getting his info from this board than that the Spurs are actually in the process of doing this. LJ is his source.
Surely the Grizzlies can do better than Beno Freaking Udrih for Atkins' expiring contract...
As bad as the backup swingmen have been, I think it's pretty easy to argue that backup PG spot is even more of a need right now. Beno is playing at an amazingly low level right now.
I'd be all for moving Beno in a trade to get a decent small forward ... problem is there is no one out there outside of Maggette that would make much of a difference this year. I've looked and haven't found a small forward that would help the Spurs and would be available for what the Spurs have to offer.
Any ideas?
The Spurs need a spark off the bench to provide some quick points. A PG like Chucky Atkins is the place to fill that need.
I was thinking Jarvis Hayes from the Wiz, he doesnt get many minutes, is young and athletic. I atotally agree with the backup pg spot to, the dropoff when Tony comes out is gigantic, someone who can score in that spot would help immensly
