Bonner is here to stay.
A good trade for us would be Elson and Bonner for a 2nd round pick. Then we would have people taking shots that they can actually make.
Bonner is here to stay.
Spurs usually don't make big splashes when they acquire players in-season, so Elson's salary ($3M...and expiring) actually fits pretty well.
With that $3M the Spurs could get a number of younger players still on their rookie salaries that have fallen out of favor with their respective teams. Guys like Mickael Pietrus and JR Smith come to mind.
And there are actually a fair number of "role players" making in the area of $2-4M that the Spurs could trade for as well. Guys like Rasual Butler or Tyrron Lue.
Bottom Line: For what the Spurs are likely to do, trade one peripheral player for another, Elson's salary actually works quite well.
Spurs will make a trade, they understand beating the Bobcats means nothing
Completely agree. I think the tell of whether or not this happens is if we see Duncan start many more games at center with a small ball line-up. In that scenario, the Spurs will move Elson for either a another point or big. They'll roll with the swings they currently have, possibly including Richardson.
In addition the players listed above, I'd include Flip Murray, Juan Dixon, and Channing Frye to the list of candidates, amongst others.
And they still have a trade exception to play with...
Channing Frye is the most intriguing name on that list, but I also think that you sell short the possibility of the Spurs adding a swingman in the trade for Elson and bouncing Richardson.
From today I think Pop was trying to gauge a couple things. One, can the small-ball lineup be viable for LONG stretches and two, is Richardson the wing player that they want to carry in the playoffs for those potential situations.
I think your scenario is entirely possible, but I don't think you should discount the idea that the Spurs would move for another option at the wing. Guys like Pietrus, Smith, and Butler seem ripe for the picking...
The Spurs could still get Chris Whitney without having to make a trade.
he's probably off limits, but just out of curiosity, what do you guys think of philly's louis williams??
Fair enough. But Udoka is playing well enough that the Spurs have enough wings even without Richardson.
Perhaps Elson and a #1 could land someone decent.
If they do trade Elson's expiring contract, they'll probably have take back someone's salaray, which, depending on the player, could be an issue. Frye has a modest rookie deal with only a year left. Or they'll trade big for small(er) expiring deals.
Chris Sheridan is talking up Maurice Baker. Can anyone speak to him? He's an unknown to me.
We should try to trade for CP3. Why and how?
Simply, give them Tony and whoever except TD and Manu, of course...
Why? Because Tony isn't franchise player. We will need someone who will be able to take care when TD retire. Someone to lead the team, someone strong enough to make us not fall like bulls after 98'... CP3
Point guard for the D-League's Dakota Wizards.
Averaging 18.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in about 41 minutes.
If Tony isn't a franchise player, but Paul is, why on Earth would the Hornets be willing to trade Paul for Parker?
Let me ask the Maurice Baker question in a different way: The Spurs know of Baker, and no doubt have for sometime. What keeps them from calling his agent--no need for a pg; character issues; is his recent play something of a fluke?
Montengrino is a silly misguided Parker hater.
Plain and simple.
You know.
The guy that is Chris Whitney > Tony Parker
Wow! Definitely better than Vaughn. But Cassell's act was good umm in 1994-1995.SequSpur, you suck.
Cassell has scored 32, 16 and 22 in his last three games.
He could help.
Next.
If you unload Elson and Bonner for some practice players or D leaguers, I don't think you lose anything. You may actually improve something.
i love tony but i think i would be ok with that
how bout elson for biedrins
Wally sczcerbiak? Are you Sh*tting me??? Dude we might as well sign Percy Miller...

If Paul is such a "Franchise player", why didn't the Hornets even make the playoffs last year?
I'd do it but I doubt Golden State would. Maybe if we gave them Bonner too....
Tony Parker and Bonner for Boobie Gibson.
2008 free agents Manu for Josh Smith at the end of the year. sign and trade and sign ?
