    Memphis had a size advantage over us. It was a bad match up for us.

    Amen!

    Amen again.

    That would be the only scenario that makes sense - and it certainly would have to be a better-than-average, mid-career or younger, big man.

    The 2012 NBA draft is certainly scheduled to be one of the better ones. There will undoubtedly be some quality young bigs available to them.

    Since the Spurs are building for the future - to a degree - it would hardly make sense to give away a 1st round pick. The Spurs draft well enough to get a solid young player to build their core for the future.

    Perhaps the Spurs could build a package that includes JA to try and duplicate their strategy of last year's draft.

    Which is exactly why the FO will and should go to reasonable lengths to mitigagte that size disadvantage. If they do not, another early playoff exit will be forthcoming.

    That`s why Spurs need backup PG. Firstly to get rest to starters, then make subs in playoffs. Spurs are too old not to have quality guys on bench. With age there is better possiblity of minor injury.

    I read today that Anthony Carter has been sent back to his home in Denver by the Raptors. All indications are he may be released.

    Ok, so no one trade for him, because it is sooo unlikely. Who would ? Which team may dump player with 10 mil contract ?

    Hawks selling Smith to Bobcats ? No way
    Maybe Bucks selling Bogut ? Bargagni getting trade by Toronto ? Stephen Jackson ? There is no chance for Diaw to be traded.

    If Diaw will say he give 500k-750k on buyout, why would Bobctas not release him ?

    Late first round picks historically have a value of about $3 million. However, with the CBA now limiting the amount of money a team can include in trades per season, that value may change going forward.

    But ~$3 million is a good estimation.

    The person writing that article on Diaw was just a fan I think. A frustrated one understandably.

    That's Mike Monroe. He just makes stuff up, tbh.

    Anthony Carter as an emergency point guard wouldn't be bad. Good defender and good passer. His shot has left him but his defense is good enough that I'd be able to look past that.

    tbh I wonder if the Spurs are interested in Ramon Sessions like DPG posted earlier

    Sessions at the point would be nice but an upgrade in the frontcourt has to be a top priority....although watching the Spurs just dribble the ball up the court is a struggle

    Memphis had the size and athleticism advantage over the Spurs and will need to make more moves to contend

    Does anyone else just eager for a midseason trade, whether or not it potentially helps out the team? I was pretty stoked with the Kurt Thomas trade back in '08, I just want some trade excitement as a Spurs fan..

    If we manage to move James Anderson before the deadline, it will be a miracle and a large enough win for us.

    It doesn't make sense to trade our first for a back up point guard considering there are already some options in the free market available probably for the minimum that have the same value of what the market can offer.
    The first one is the poiunt guard of the Toros...that should be be a player with fits immediately, considering they play our system.
    Others are Patrick Mills or Earl Boykins...both are good enough to play just some minutes (considering that is Ford they're gonna replace).
