I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine...(cough cough SCOLA)

They already scratched our backs (cough cough **get rid of Butler's stupid contract**; although retrospectively, we should have gotten rid of Elson then and there, but who knew he wasn't gonna improve).

I wish the deadline would get here already. While I don't think the Spurs make a move I still hold out hope until the last minute. I believe the Spurs are looking at every option but don't have much faith in something getting done. Even a salary dump move.

That would be a good trade. Being how the Spurs usually trade their first rounders away for nothing.

Sam Smith: Spurs are looking to keep Tim Duncan.

This one works...and I think the most probable of the proposals since it involves player playing almost the same positions. This could be done.

This one works even without including the first and second round draft pick ... but I guess it's required to lure the Bulls to make this crazy trade. The spurs, though, won't likely to do this since it has to dispense of the opportunity to get younger. I don't think tyrus thomas would be the one they're expecting to be a franchise player.

This doesn't work either...Seattle won't deal away Thomas for Elson nor Barry. He's fitting well in seattle. We just hope that, their impending transfer out of seattle might change their minds.

That would pare payroll for the Bulls and give them a couple of picks. If they have soured on Thomas now might be the time to take him off their hands.

Bad trades happen in the NBA. Especially when teams want to pare down payroll for cap, luxury tax, and operational reasons.

but i dont see that as the case in almost any of the trades you have posted. they only conceivable one ive seen posted would be the haslem/blount trade, and thats only if you took out the miami pick, or added a pick on the spurs side.

How so? Take a look at Blount's contract. That deal reduces payroll by $12 mil for the Heat this summer. Otherwise they are stuck with Blount until 2010 at close to $8 mil per.

yes, i know everyones contract statis. they are that high on haslem. haslem is the bait to move blount. they arent including further incentive, especially when they arent even getting all expirings. if it was, then maybe, but its not.
