    I don't understand how that's bad considering we wouldn't play our draft pick for 3 or 4 years

    I'm sad to see Barry go though

    Yeah giving up the first rounder is pretty tough. A second or multiple seconds sounds like a fair deal.

    I also hope Thomas is used off the bench and not in place of Oberto. Duncan + Thomas = too immobile.

    Wow Barry gets thrown under the bus for getting injured. After everything he's given the Spurs organization he is tossed out like a piece of trash.

    As far as the trade goes, it was a great pickup. Every team could use a Kurt Thomas like guy.

    The Spurs have been trying to trade him for years.

    Don't on our parade.

    Interesting. KT is a nice piece for you guys. But giving up Barry? He's been crucial in many clutch moments for you guys. Don't know if replacing that is smart.

    But KT is a nice player...

    The only reason I think the spurs gave the 2009 pick is because most roster spots should be taken from this coming summer's FA market.

    They've tried to trade him last year when he wasn't injured too, so "being thrown under the bus" isn't relevant to his injury.

    Maybe Seattle will buyout Barry's contract, and Barry will sit around for 30 days, and sign back with the Spurs. He won't open his big mouth like Stack did.

    Who knows if Barry will even be healthy at all this year.

    Can the spurs fill the extra roster spot without going back into the luxury tax?

    This much is true. Still, I'd be a little uncomfortable giving up a guy like that. At this point I'd sooner give up Horry.

    They also are expected to drop under the luxury-tax threshold, possibly saving them about $2 million. In exchange, San Antonio will send the Sonics a portion of the savings.

    Ah yes. Now it really makes sense.

    Don't know if I would've given up that 1st round draft choice, though.

    If we're lucky, it will be the 32nd pick in the draft.

    They traded him before for JR Smith and the trade just didn't go through because the paperwork was late to the league. So, everyone has understood that Barry has been on the block for a long time.

    Good news indeed. Experience and knowledge at the center position, at this late stage of the season is exactly what we need. Young and athletic would be nice...but, would take too long to learn the system. I don't think we'll have those problems with Kurt. Purfect, imho.

    I woulda preferred not to lose Barry tho. If there's any chance of getting him back...

    1st round draft pick in 2009? eh...

    Who we gonna get with the last pick anyway? Kurt helps us now. I like this move a lot. Exactly what we needed.

    Rumor has it that Dallas was very interested in KT.

    I have a dream.
