Just look at yesterday's trade and you will realize how any trade can happen.
I'd rather have Beno back.

sad to say but beside those 3 above, rest of them did not worth much![]()
Yes, but it won't. Spurs aren't prone to making big, reactive decisions. They'll most likely make a trade because they're over the lux tax threshold as of now, but there's a FAR better chance that it will be a strict salary-cutting move than a move that improves the team...though those two are not mutually exclusive.
Ideally, the Spurs move a player for less salary and get back a player that can make a potential impact....but again, the priority in any trade will be to cut salary, IMO.
Spurs FO just too cheap.. and even worse is they are proud of being cheap![]()

I'd be happy too if I can win championships and be a cheapskate at the same time.
duncan228, it's a pleasure to be back. Thanks.
Look, we all know the risk that omes with Artest, but sometimes you need to gamble a little when you don't have a lot of options.
Maybe the Kings will take some future picks and our expiring contracts?
I bet Pop and Co. could control Artest.
Spurs need to keep up with the Joneses.
They're probably in the bottom three NBA markets, yet they are in the top 10 in payroll. That's right, the top 10. Come with facts next time. You only look stupid when you don't.
Only chemicals can control Ron Artest.
It's like the Chris Rock bit about "going tiger". Tiger's don't go crazy and attack people, they go tiger, and do what tigers do. Ron would just be "going Artest". It's what he does. It doesn't matter what locker room he's in, or what team he's on.
Artest in a Spurs uniform?!? Didn't we learn anything from the Dennis Rodman fiasco years ago?
The fans apparently haven't, but I'll bet Pop has.![]()
Exactly! I'm glad someone else understands mental illness when they see it.
Artest would be a disaster.
Oh yeah, we need this guy...![]()
Let Nuggets have Artest!
Artest, Thuglife, AI, JR Smith, Nene and 3-23 all on the same team! Just watching this team play would almost be as fun as to watch the Spurs win le #5.
Almost.
I actually think Artest would WORK for the first time in my life...
Dude. Ron Artest doesn't need guidance. He doesn't need a strong locker room. He needs ing Thorazine. He is do entedly mentally ill.
Dude, the Spurs ARE the ing Joneses.
The Drunk me says go for it!
I can't remember tje sober me right now, so I'm not sure what it would say.
Not a bad take, but he seems to have your textbook "daddy issues" and need for acceptance. Someone who plays as hard as he does for a team he's miserable on? WHAT IF THE THORAZINE WAS IN THE FORM OF Greg Popovich and Tim Duncan...a Dad and a brother?
I think it could work. It's a long shot, but I'd go all in on that bet.
Artest is a ticking time bomb. Let him go and blow up someone else's team.
The Kings are probably looking for help to shore up their frontcourt.
Nene at Denver is the probable most wanted choice, but Najera and someone might work for them.
I don't see any of our bigs that we could trade to them that would fit, given the salaries and their needs. Factor that in to his character/temperment issues and this is a 'no deal' situation
Do we really want to see Ron ing Artest win a championship ring with the Spurs???
I'm usually all for shaking up the roster with trades but I don't like Artest.
