All we have to do is trade Barry to a team under the cap and our lux caps problems are solved. Just call Milwaukee.
I think he's past that.

you see what they gave Bonner and Vaughn?
I can live with them giving such a contract to a player who's a good prospect to replace Bowen as the team's primary perimeter defender and is a solid 3 point shooter.
The Spurs' defense, nay, their championship success is predicated on such a player. I could perhaps live with them thinning out some of their frontcourt prospects if they turn those savings into finding a player to take the reigns from Bowen.
Would Outlaw be a better pickup?
they gave vaughn the minimum.you see what they gave Bonner and Vaughn?
YOU CANT PAY ANYONE LESS THAN THAT!!!!!!!
He would be, but the Blazers prefer Outlaw over Udoka, so I doubt we get him.
Money being equal, I would rather the Spurs go after Pietrus than Udoka.
Even if we had to give Pietrus an extra year, I would rather have him.
Pietrus could blow up or he could flounder in the uninspiring of untapped talent for $30 mil. Meanwhile the Spurs could pick up a guy well suited for their system at less than half of the price.
Easily, but he's not in our range.
If Milwaukee doesn't sign Mo Williams first......
How much do you think Outlaw would want or get? I haven't read anything that says Outlaw will demand a lot or how much the Blazers are willing to give him.
Outlaw's too raw. With Udoka you know what you are getting and the Spurs need some kind of plan before Bowen leaves or their potential for championship success will face a marked decline.
Per his agent a WC team offered him 3 years, $12 mil.
I'd want Outlaw more. He doesn't have the smarts of Udoka, but has real talent and fills a need far better.
But for the same amount of money, the Spurs would probably take Udoka.
But I don't think we'll have either.
Which will make yesterday's trade all the more galling.
I don't know if I've ever been this demoralized as a Spurs fan.
It would be pretty ideal that the Spurs pick up Udoka and have him learn with the master. Too ideal for them to actually do it. They've likely eliminated their lux tax exposure. Time to pour the Dom.
A WC team offered that to Outlaw or Udoka? I thought it was Udoka who got offered that.
Udoka.
Nah, that's 1976-98, 2000-02, 2004, and 2006.
Maybe a sign and trade with Brent Barry to Portland for Ime Udoka would avoid salary cap implications
Portland would be getting an expiring contract
The Lakers years were crushing and the worst time I've ever had as a sports fan, but they were clearly the better team. This is demoralizing - different term - because it's such an awful basketball trade and shows the team uninterested in improving. It shows a front office egotistical, fat with success, and arrogant... and cheap. It means all the 'effort' I've put in, with others, about the draft and interest in Scola, was for naught, because almost universally the Spurs have screwed it up with bad decisions or crassly greedy reasons.
I think Portland will begin shedding contracts at some point. Not sure they want another one.
I don't see why Portland would want Barry. Better to let Udoka walk away than take on $5.5M for no reason.
Just a thought.... Good shooter, veteran leadership, championship experience, complementary player to Greg Oden (spot shooter)
