Brevin Knight on the block?

[E20]

Also, Brevin Knight could probably better iniate the offense unlike Vaughn and IMO is a better overall PG than Beno. He looks bright, so he might be able to pick up the Spurs philosphy on D without any problems.

Knight could be a great addition. But Spurs don't have anything to offer.

[Phenomanul]

Isn't Brevin Knight a steals machine as well?

Defensively Knight is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beno

[yavozerb]

If knight is healthy enough to play in 2nd half of season:
Beno+Williams for Knight +Harrington

according to Pop we will not see any trades and this is the final Spurs roster for 06-07.

yes, Pop is well known to always announce upcomming trades and well known to never ever blow out some smoke screens.

and this is what he exactly said:

http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/b...k.21404a0.html
Popovich did leave himself some wiggle room, but not much.

"We might throw a peripheral player for a (draft pick) or trade a peripheral player for a peripheral player, but we're not going to trade our top 10, 11, 12 guys," Popovich said. "Nothing of significance. In other words, the top six, seven, eight, nine players aren't going anywhere. That's what I mean by no trade."

so, if you take him at his word, this would mean: when he talks about the top 12, it still leaves Williams, Butler, White + picks and rights for a possible package.
if I remember right, the most trade proposals on this board were based on packages with the expiring contract of Williams for the numbers and sweeteners like picks and rights (Scola, Mahinmi) for the talent value.

and if you take the next sentence, when Pop is talking about the top 9 players aren't going anywhere, it would mean that also Bonner, Beno and Vaughn could be part of a trade.
does this mean that we won't see any trades? not at all.
we all know, that Spurs can't get premium players with their trade assets. but it is definitly possible to get a good role player from a rebuilding team, if you can offer expiring contracts and some picks (or rights)

and btw:
Dumars traded Chucky Atkins, Lindsey Hunter, a first-round pick and cash to Boston and Bob Sura with Zeljko Rebraca to Atlanta for Mike James from Boston and Rasheed Wallace from Atlanta.

I would think the package of Atkins, Hunter, Sura and Rebraca (+ the pick, which was a late first rounder) wasn't more attractive than what the Spurs could assemble right now and it landed them an all-star in Wallace + a quality player in James. (and resulted in the le in 2004)

or to use the Pop's words: the Pistons traded their no. 7, 8, 9, and 10 player for Wallace + James.

yes, I know that this trade was a genious move you don't see every week and that it also takes a lot of luck to be just in the right place at the right time, but it proves that a smart management can trade some bench warmers for quality players.

Spurs fans just don't realize that a deal is supposed to work for ALL teams.

[RC's Boss]

Injured Brevin Knight > Beno

[dg7md]

Spurs will get even older.

[timvp]

I'd rather have a scoring point guard like Atkins than a passing point guard like Knight. Knight is like a Jacque Vaughn who has gotten to play a lot of minutes on an expansion team. Even Jason Hart put up good numbers on Charlotte ... and Hart may be the second worst PG in the league.

[RC's Boss]

Yeah, our bench sucks so much at least he does score.
