Why do you think Barry is a stupid player?
Why not?You just said why, its inter conference.
Aint happening, Spurs don't want him, and hes a stupid player.
Enough said. Done, dead.
Move on.
Why do you think Barry is a stupid player?
You would think Dermarr is San Antonio the way Buddy Holly has a hardon for him. He is a scrub, at least our scrubs already know the system.
You mean it's inter-conference like when the Spurs nearly dealt Barry to the Hornets for JR Smith? Or when the Hornets dealt Smith to ther Nuggets? That kind of inter-conference? Was that the first ever trade done by teams within the same conference.
As stupid as Jax was? Because he's a stupid player but we signed him.
I simply proposed a trade that filled one of our needs.
Fine, lets keep Beno on the bench looking through Purse's Unlimited Magazine and not aquire someone who could fill in for Bowen while he's resting and who at worst would be gone this summer.
I think the bigger note is that the Spurs are "listening" to offers for Butler (and not Barry, maybe).
If you are going to trade for someone in the middle of the season, it should be someone smart enough to actually be able to learn and pick up things. By most accounts, Dermarr is not that player. If you are going to make a "lateral move" trade, do it in July. Not in February.
I actually used to think DerMarr was a good choice for the Spurs because of his length and tools to be a good defender. I was just pointing out that the Spurs had already given him a couple looks in recent years and passed on him.
I'm not sure that Hunter was part of the (possible) package.
and I can't see the Sixers just offer old Ollie for a young center (even for a disappointing one).
I think they offered Willie Green. did anybody notice, that his minutes have been cut to almost half in February?
and I can also see, why the Spurs turned down the offer. Green fits some of the needs (athletic guard, who can defend), his selfishness and not so good shooting doesn't fit.
Green is making 2.8 million and has another 4 years on his contract. (last 2 are not guarranteed though).
Yeah I don't think Hunter was part of the package either. He's just been my choice for young big man for a couple years now.
It's worded strangely, but I don't think the article was saying the trade to Philly necessarily had to be Butler+Beno. It could have just been Butler.
Yeah that's the impression I got as well - that they weren't talking about both to the Sixers.
yes, it was just Butler mentioned. guess Beno was mentioned, b/c people can't even imagine, he might no be dealt. (including myself)
DJ is a great player. Its the coach that sucks![]()
GK is an idiot for pretty much ruining any chance DJ had of having a decent career. DJ was the starting Sg during the Nuggets 32-8 run and thats enough of a stat to tell me that he is what the Nuggets need, but GK wont play him when it counts.
Ask AI which Nugget he hates going against in practice and i bet he says DJ. He can play great D with his long arms and can shoot well. The only thing DJ lacks is confidence and GK is responsible for that
DJ would thrive in San Antonio.
To me, it's not about how good or bad Johnson is, it's a matter of team fit and duplication of talent. The Spurs already have a guy under contract, in White, who can play/defend the 2 and 3 spots, is long and athletic. He may not be 6'9, but Johnson doesn't "play" 6'9. Johnson is an athletic 2/3 that has two inches on White, but a similar game. I think the Spurs should see what they've got in White first.
Now if Johnson was more of a rebounder and could play the 4 spot....
And Finley is a wise brick wall builder, currently working in San Antonio.
Using my CIAPop decoder ring, he'll be moved, but for more than whatever Philly was offering.
Using my ST.com ring, I predict that the Spurs will make a bad trade involving Butler and the vast majority of the forum will erupt in orgasmic celebration.
Before I forget, Kevin Ollie? Have we sunk that low? The property savant needs to go beat off to pics of a new mixed-use development on the Northside.

I don't think the Spurs have sunk that low, that's why the trade was denied...
Butler in a package to get a contributor, or Butler for another prospect (preferably SF/PF) would be good though...
The Hornets swung a trade for Hunter last season for a pair of 2nd round picks. The trade was turned down later though after he failed his physical and so the team traded for Marc Jackson/Linton Johnson instead.
Hunter is likely attainable if they want him.
The Hornets didn't trade JR Smith to the Nuggets. They traded him and PJ Brown to the Bulls in exchange for Tyson Chandler. The Bulls traded him back to the west later for a pair of second round picks and a garbage player that they waived.
In other words he's an anti-Spurs player.
