You want to trade Duncan?

[admiralfats]

i just want to add my name to the list of people who thinks this is a really stupid idea.

[Gutter92]

Yea, we get 6.5 years younger in the PF position but about 15 years younger in the Brain position.

Ban this motherhumper!

The Spurs would not trade Duncan for either LBJ or Howard

Why do you think that? You do not even think they would consider it?

No. Why would they?

trading tim duncan? there goes 99% of spurs fans.....

[rasho8]

Is there anybody in the River City that has enough guts to back a Duncan trade?

Duncan for Amare and Dudley works number wise.

The spurs save 3 million per year. They get 6.5 years younger at the position as well as more athletic plus they get a really bright young guy that they can use now (in place of Finley)

Think about it, the Spurs would be a force in the West for 7-8 more years with Amare.

or is the Sacred Cow just to sacred?

Umm.. lets see...you have Dirt right? mYeah copared to Duncan he sucks... and you wont trade him.

So why the would we treade a perrenial AllStar with 4 championships who is the heart and soul of this team and sets the tone for the selfless w3ay this team preforms?

Youre an idiot.

[mathbzh]

I didn't check the numbers but Duncan+Oberto for Eddy Curry+Jerome James+Malik Rose should work

It works

I thought this idea was from a troll. Then I saw it was a Mavs fan, and now i understand. This is the kind of move Cuban would make and then a year later fire his coach for not getting them a championship.

Just stupid.

I would rather cheer for a championship caliber team for two or three years than just a good one for 7.

Actually I think there goes 99% of our championship hopes but in terms of fans I think the we'd lose more if the one that gets traded is Manu.

[DPG21920]

No. Why would they?

If you are looking to get value, have a chance to win now and for the future they would do it.

Lebron and Dwight are going to be the best players in the league for many years. They are true franchise players that do not come around very often.

Maybe, but the ATT would burn down after that.

"Amare is a great defensive presence that could anchor any defense."

TD>S.T.A.T.

[ClingingMars]

i think it's funny only dumbass mav fans are proposing TD trades and trying to tell us how "bad" the spurs are or will be... worry about your own ty team before you look at our championship caliber team!

[SpursDynasty]

Duncan is untouchable until he retires or seriously declines. He's one of only two 20/10 players in the league. A 20/10 player in his 12th season, we'll keep him.

I would be willing to move Manu or Parker for a big.

Tony vs. Manu, who would you rather trade?

[DPG21920]

This is just interesting conversation, there is no way the Cavs or the Magic would ever offer that. Do you really think fans would be that upset if they traded Duncan and landed Lebron or Dwight?

This year, I would take Manu and trade Parker (I have no opinion towards either one). overall I keep Parker but that's a different story.

A shooting guard with the court vision, off the dribble ability and intensity of Manu is a lot harder to come by than a combo guard who has average court vision and is good largely due to the pick and roll with Duncan.

When the game is on the line, Manu gets the ball. Not Parker.

Yes I do and here is why. The Spurs owe Tim any cent of loyalty you can think of. And I agree that the Cavs or Magic would be stupid to offer the trade, I just think the Spurs would be dumber to agree.

they already have value and they already have a real chance to win a championship for the next 4-5 years, so no they would not.

Lebron and Dwight are going to be the best players in the league for many years. They are true franchise players that do not come around very often.

a trade for LeBron blows up the team because the team would have to trade Manu or Tony to get some front line help and the Spurs become the Cavs-West which so far means squat.

Not to mention the off the court drama that comes with LBJ. We'd never know if he really would want to stay in small market SA or head to NY.

a trade for Howard lessens the Spurs chances of winning rings for the next few years and the payoff you are talking about wouldn't come until probably until 2013 when Tim finally starts declining.

You are looking too much into it. Big Z and Anderson are not that great of a front line anyways and the Cavs still have a great record. Big Z, Anderson and Wallace aren't that much better then KT, Oberto and Bonner. So if you give Lebron about = value in the front court but get to pair him with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and Mason, that is wayyy better than the Cavs team he has now.

I somewhat agree with your "4-5" year window with Duncan, but that is you predicting no decline. How do you know this for sure? You know Dwight and Lebron are getting better and despite what you say about Dwight, the Spurs could win now with him as well. He is a different player obviously, but if Dwight was here right now instead of Duncan, the Spurs would still be in contention.
