Spurs interested in trading up for Beal?

[SamoanTD]

Umm, Jax + Splitter for #2 + Tyrus Thomas? Is it just me, or is that one of a steal for the Spurs? Sure, Thomas's contract sucks, but it's the damn #2 pick without giving up one of the big 3.

That would make no sense for Charlotte lol plus don't think there very fond of Jack.

Uh you're not alone.

It is being circled around the league that Char. is insisting that anyone looking to make a trade for the 2nd overall pick must be willing to take Thomas' contract as well.

A family member who works for an NBA team in the lower FO told me a few hours ago Spurs did discuss a trade with Char that would send T Thomas and the second pick to SA for Jax, Splitter and future draft picks but talks did not get far as Spurs not willing to take on Thomas contract, they believe he will be bought out.

The Spurs would obviously do that trade in half a second. Stop making stuff up. Thanks.

It's not about the player, it's about shedding TT's 3 years and taking on a player with only 1 year left. They might even try to buy Jack out.

Exactly.

Oh, and no one buys out a contract with three years left on it. If you're talking Amnesty, that's different, but that's not what you said, T2S.

Gotta love posters and their "sources".

The cousin of my step-brother who happens to work for a truck company that delivers discardable coffe cups to the Cavs FO said he overheard them talking about an offer from the Spurs (Neal+Tiago+Blair, plus the Coyote as sweetener for the #3 pick), but Cavs apparently were adamant to include Corey Joseph in the trade and that was a deal breaker for the Spurs...

Just passing it along...

seems legit.

[K-State Spur]

Jordan not looking to biuld a winning team he wants to make money so keeping salaries low does not want more rookies.

This sentence makes all kinds of sense.

[Brutalis]

I No. I saw him play in HS vs BJ Young and he is a selfish asshole. He kept checking his stats during free throws. Seriously.

[Bruno]

Blair + Neal = Beal ?



sorry.

If my calculations are correct I think Texas2Step has 874 family members working within different NBA front offices.

Call me crazy but if you think about the kind of bigman you want to put next to Duncan it is Tyrus Thomas. The best case scenario of Tyrus Thomas but still. He is a mobile althetic big who blocks shots, grabs some boards, and even has some range. Granted he is a head case but look at where he is playing. I am not saying we should be jumping for him but I don't think it is too tough to swallow if we took on his contract.

My only question is why are the Spurs so high on Beal? I am not saying he won't be a good or even great player but if we are in win now mode how does he help us? He seems as if he is a glorified spot up shooter from what I read. He doesn't address our weaknesses.

Was there any credibility to the original source of the rumour? The Beal part that is.
