Who would you trade Manu for?

[Cherry]

Manu next to Kobe would be great ...

Kobe next to Spurs organization...mmm... no, thanks.

[RC's Boss]

Kobe, Wade, Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson, Lebron, JHo, and DHo.

So basically every trade that's been mentioned in this thread can't be done.

we're not precisely talking about a real one... this is more of heart value we're talking about... any ideas for an actual good deal? like.. Barbosa and Bell for Manu? would that be possible?

Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Vince, T-Mac, KG, Amare, Dirk (make fun of him all you want, but that's a trade you make), Dwight Howard, Paul Pierce, Yao Ming.

There are other players that I'd probably trade him for as well, but those are players I definitely would trade Manu for. Other players like Gasol, Oden, Bosh, Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson I'd probably make the trade for as well, but it's arguable.

None of them come at the bargain price of Manu!

Man RC'sBoss....change that sig....that is some ugly stuff...put a woman on there at least.

Trading Manu for anyone would be a bad move. Manu is an integral part of a multiple Championship team and has been nothing but the perfect team player.

There are players out there who would make this team better in the short run, but trading Manu for, say, Kobe, would send a message to the league that the Spurs are not as loyal to their players as once thought. Given the troubles we already have attracting free agents, we don't need to damage that reputation.

The Spurs have a perfect mix of personality and talent with their key players right now. You don't mess with that unless you have to.

Ideally, I'd like to see him retire a Spur, but I won't begrudge him leaving if someone overpays to lure him away in the twilight of his career (in 3-4 years).

I have never seen a thread about this before . . .

The point is, when you'd only consider trading a player for superstars that make twice as much as he does or for multiple players at his pay level, that says something about his performance and contribution to the team.
