No ! I doubt another west team makes a trade w/ us anyway. I may be wrong, but it's always been an east team the past few years.
You thought THAT was out of left field.You know, I personally never saw a hint that the Spurs were going to trade for Ely. Same thing last year w/ Barry for J.R. Smith. We knew Barry was being shopped, but to who was all speculation. It seems once these rumors hit ESPN.com or this forum, the FO nixes the deal. If Beno is traded, you can bank on it that it'll be a scenario none of us had any idea about.
What about Danny Ferry for Hedo Turkoglu and Ron Mercer.

Like Ive said before.
No team wants to help em.
They take the at ude, if they want this guy, he must be good, or, we could get more from someelse so why help.
I have for brains because I never saw the Spurs and their first rounder connected? Give me a ing break Mr. I need buyouts explained to me. Do you really want to check the post record to see who out of the 2 of us has for brains? Don't act exasperated with me when 1) you have no evidence and 2) you've been the one to continously miss simple ing points and misevaluate players. Thats some bull if I've ever seen it.
So yeah, when you find me a link to anywhere the Spurs turned down any deal with the Clippers for a 1st round pick (or ANY reason for that matter) I would LOVE to see it.
for brains indeed, dip .
this is a veritable conundrum.
I laughed so hard after reading that I think I just sharted!
Manny is on a tear lately. Of course, it's easy when your counterpoint is presented by Mr. Nobody.
The only guy Spurs should trade is one and only Mr.POPE!
Last year in playoffs he played with 7 players, in some games 8! So why he need more players on roster, to sit on bench! If Beno had more minutes on court he would be able to show that he is good player, with all respect to Spurs roster, thare are missing better backups for Bowen, Duncan, not talking about center position!
And comparing Jacque and Beno, please check stats http://www.nba.com/spurs/stats/ !!!!!!
Who's Mr. Pope?
Pop said he wouldn't make any major trades. If he did make one, it would involve the end of the bench. That's exactly what Erik Williams is.Another naif that believes in POP's word
I guess Mr. Pope is a Dallas fan anyhow.
Awesome post RADECK!! Looking forward to more........now answer Kori's question Mr. Pope.

Trades That Should Happen: Maggette to the Spurs
With the NBA trade deadline looming, the FanHouse looks at potential trades out there that would make the NBA a better, brighter, place.
Word on the street is that Donald Sterling is the only person in the Clippers organization that wants to keep Maggette around. The other players are tired of his complaining, the coaches don't particularly like his at ude, and he can't grab spot in the starting line-up. Said Maggette recently about his lack of playing time:
"I don't get it, I really don't. It's crazy. I put in work. I deserve to play. It's totally mind-boggling to me. [It's] unbelievable that I couldn't help this team tonight. Why? Why?"
The Clippers even signed Doug Christie recently. Doug Christie. Cut him loose, Clippers. Maggette has a skill set that could be used somewhere else.
Namely, with the San Antonio Spurs. San Antone could use an upgrade in athleticism, and it would be nice to have someone who could come off the bench and score quickly in a variety of ways. Maggette's rebounding ability would also help the Spurs fill a need.
It's true that Maggette's not much of a defender, and it's true that he's got a reputation as a bit of a knucklehead. But it's impossible to act a fool in San Antonio. Greg Popovich won't allow it, neither will the team's leadership. His defense would improve simply by virtue of being a Spur, and if you need a stopper on the floor, then hey, that's what Bruce Bowen's for.
Brent Barry along with one or more from the group of Matt Bonner, Jackie Bulter, Francisco Elson, Fabricio Oberto, Beno Udrih, Jacques Vaughn, and James White, and draft picks could work under the cap.
Barry + Oberto + Beno for Maggette
Barry + Oberto + Beno + 2nd rnd pick for Maggette (if the first one doesn't work)
What about Barry + Butler + Pick for Maggette? That one works too.
David Aldridge, speaking on TNT Tuesday night, reported that he thinks the Clippers will take "one last look" at a Maggette deal before the deadline. This is despite the denials by GM Elgin Baylor. He went onto say that the Clips are still entertaining the possibilities of acquiring JKidd or Vince Carter. Be assured that any such deal would likely include Maggette as a trade chip.
Personally, I still think Maggette can be had by the Spurs if any of those scenarios fail and it gets to the wire. Judging from their pitiful performance versus the Suns at home, the Clips have clearly cratered for the season. They have "0" team chemistry and it seems to me that they absolutely MUST move Maggette to improve it.
As I've said before, but it bears repeating, I don't think the Spurs want Corey Maggette. They considered it but have moved on.
Could be. I hope not because I believe he fits a lot fo what the Spurs need at that position.
If not him, I hope they've got their sights set on another swingman of similar skill set.
Why do I get the feeling someone is just hoping that Maggette doesn't come here so that he can spew out "I told you so!!" after the trade deadline.
I actually think Vince Carter will be traded for Maggette.
no deals needed for Spurs.
Putting Cory, Vince and Richard Jefferson on the same squad?
I continue to believe that the sticking point is that extra year on his contract.
Sorry reg, but this article says nothing. Of course the Clippers "should" trade Maggette...dude is a malcontent in their locker room, an underperforming thorn in the coaches' sides. But that doesn't increase the likelihood that a trade WILL happen.
Maybe the Clips do get desperate before the deadline tomorrow and maybe he does get moved, but if he is in LA after tomorrow I won't be suprised.
Don't get me wrong, I am one of the biggest proponents of him coming to the Spurs, but I'm just skeptical about the chances a deal gets done....
POP-POPE!-answer to Kori's question!!
And something for mountainballer, you representing sick mentality of USA people!
Maybe my daughter knows more about basketball than you! OK?
And maybe european thinking is too much for you
This is where I disagree.
I think the coaches and even GM would move Maggette for a package of Barry + Beno/Butler/Oberto/Bonner/etc....
But the owner seems resolute in keeping Maggette as a member of the Clips squad for everything short of an all-star (think he'd consent if Maggette was a key piece in a megadeal for Kidd, etc.).
I don't think Sterling feels any pressure to make a deal and I doubt that one more loss before the deadline changes his mind. That means the deal doesn't go through because he's final authority on the issue...
