malik wilks scola along with the pick from pheonix plus an additional first round draft pick would be okay.....don't know how the salaries match up though....
Well, if the Spurs do trade Beno, then they better get some practice time with Barry, et al, at the point. The start of the 4th quarter, without Tony looked like the Marx brothers out there.
I wouldn't necessarily discount the trade possibility, but if you're thinking there's a deal done (or about to be done) why on Earth did Malik and/or Rasho play as much as they did last night? Wouldn't it be equally-dangerous to your trade to play those guys if they're going somewhere. Any trade of Beno would almost necessarily have to include one of those two, just to make the numbers work. I'd be more accepting of the trade idea if Beno and Malik had taken DNP-CD's last night, instead of Beno and Horry.
Frankly, I think Pop is giving Beno and Horry a chance to get some rest, but keeping them active just in case. If Horry doesn't play on Saturday, he will have gone at least two weeks without logging any time, which has to be a good thing for a broken bone and for his older body. I think the same principle applies to Beno as well. With Beno's fragility and the truth that he's a rookie, Pop seems to have had some concern about whether or not Beno has/will hit the wall. If you can give him a good long stretch of downtime, it makes sense to do that. Meanwhile, you get a chance to play Barry at the point to see if he can be productive there and you go vet-heavy against a couple of teams (Houston and maybe Memphis) that have tended to cause the Spurs some problems of late. That makes more sense to me than the possibility of a trade -- but, if they've actually managed to find a way to get Boozer, I'd be all for it.
I guess if you wanted to buy the trade talk and assumed the talk might involve Beno, here's another possibility (albeit one that wouldn't necessarily address the most pressing needs of this team):
Assuming the talk is true that Baron Davis is headed to Golden State (and assuming GS send back Dale Davis and Dunleavy), don't the Warriors have a glut of solid-to-good PG? Is it possible that the Spurs would deal Beno and something else (Scola, picks) to GS for, say, Speedy Claxton's cap-friendly contract (fairly low money and short years)? I'm completely talking out of my ass here, but there is some sense to it.
bringing Speedy Claxton back would be an absolute godsend.
I doubt however that happens.
BTW, Hey Mullin, WTF do you need 3 starting quality point guards for?!?!
God what an idiot.
beno is a much better shooter then speedy
I doubt this is even a possibility, but it would seem to make some sense.
FWIW, I read this morning that in trying to work out a deal for Davis, Mullin is actually trying to get the Hornets to take Claxton rather than Dunleavy, but that NO is holding out for Junior.
You'd think that if GS lands Baron at some point this morning or early afternoon, they'll flip either Claxton or Fisher in a quick deal -- otherwise, they're going to have an upset vet on that bench. Then again, it's not like they're going anywhere this year, so who cares if they have a monumental headache, right?
He might just be in PJ's doghouse. PJ was quoted as saying he was ashamed of the selfish play of his guards in the Rookie Challenge. This was in regards to questions on why the bigmen on his team, specifically the 1st and 2nd picks of the draft, didn't get more touches.
Beno isn't going anywherebecouse I bought he's SPURS (not GS or NO or LA...) jersey and it was expensive!
So leave him alone!!!
If there was any kind of trade it might have been for Webber.
Just a thought...
