Why is everyone falling for this bull ? Or are you just going around posting this on everyone's board?
It could also have been a ploy to get Denver to bid against itself and eliminate its depth in an effort to add a volatile part to that club. It could also be that Sacramento was willing to help float the story if it aided the bargaining with the Nuggets.
Misdirection seems quite plausible, though.

The San Antonio Spurs have reached agreement with the SuperSonics that will bring them center Kurt Thomas in exchange for guard Brent Barry, center Francisco Elson and a 2009 first-round draft pick, league sources said Wednesday.
The teams are in the process of finalizing the deal with league officials.
By acquiring Thomas, the Spurs get some needed size to help them counter Phoenix’s Shaquille O’Neal and Houston’s Yao Ming. 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.
While Barry has been sidelined with a calf injury, Ime Udoka has taken his place in the rotation and proven to be a dependable contributor with his defense and 3-point shooting. Elson’s inconsistency limited his role with the Spurs this season.
The Sonics, who also considered an offer from the Orlando Magic for Thomas, have now generated three first-round draft picks from Rashard Lewis’ sign-and-trade deal last summer.

According to Sam Amick's blog on the Sacramento Bee's website, there is every reason to believe that someone in the Spurs organization has been suggesting that they're making a deal that the Kings have no interest in taking.
No news. All speculation.
go ahead and check Yahoo sports. Tim Thomas is now a Spur.
Kurt Thomas isn't too shabby! I like the way things turned out
Well, getting Thomas is great but compared to Artest, it is a letdown...
Artest was your classic CIA smokescreen. Well executed, Pop![]()
Is there any chance that the Spurs still trade for Artest?
