Trade Day Thread

Chad Ford's chat:

Chris (San Antonio): All of these teams wanting point guards and the Spurs not playing Beno Udrih at all. So far it doesn't look like it will happen, but do you think the Spurs will be able to find a taker?

SportsNation Chad Ford: (12:50 PM ET ) I think Indiana is interested though I'm not sure they'll pull off a deal. Seems like all the Spurs want is a little cap relief and a second round pick. Someone will probably make that deal. In fact, I wonder why the Hawks didn't try to get Udrih instead of Johnson.

First I had heard about Indy's being interested in Beno (but I guess it's obvious with Indy's Most Wanted getting indicted)...

I hate trade day.

It just came through:

SAN ANTONIO SPURS trade:

FUTURE LE HOPES

for

PAYROLL RELIEF

I've never heard Beno referred to as "future le hopes" before. That's rich.

Where the heck did you get that pic of Eva??? That looks rough.

Chad Ford's chat:

Beautiful. As worthless as Udrih is, capspace isn't going to do a whole of a lot more on the floor.

Fred Jones for Juan Dixon? Possibly trade #2 according to Chad Ford.

Dallas' benefits in the trade:

From ESPN.com's own Nick Silva, our cap guru: "The Hawks-Mavs trade saved Dallas 2.64M in tax for this year and 5.72M next year (2.86M salary + 2.86M tax) and they got the Hawks pick in the second round which is 37 right now and they gained a 2.64M trade exception."

Seriously...I hope to God Belkin wins the ownership battle, if for no other reason he'll fire Billy Knight's sorry ass (for siding with the other owners in the JJ debacle). THE WORST GM IN THE NBA!

Don't hear any chatter from SPURS FO on the wires. Beno might still get traded 50-50 chance.

I hate trade day.

You need to start developing emotional attachments to good players.

Hoopsworld:

Spurs Making A Deal?: The Spurs continue to be a team that needs one more player, and several teams have been calling about Beno Udrih – The Spurs have turned away suitors, but it is very likely a last minute deal peaks Greg Popovich’s interest enough to cash in his “insurance policy”.

[angel_luv]

What time is the deadline? 6 pm?

Boo Bear!

I hate trade day.

I refuse to believe any site that proclaims to be as good as Hoopsworld believes they are that can't spell Pop's name right.

I had a bad dream that the Raptors traded Rasho. I was so mad since he will be here so soon and I bought a game ticket especially to see him.
