I want Nick Young and the #5 pick.

[21_Blessings]

Manu is still about 32 years old though. Ankle injuries are a tricky thing in basketball, very easily re-aggravated. Manu never being the player he once was is much more likely then him staying healthy the entire season playing like he was 28 years old.

Well there is alot of talk about the spurs possible trade to get a #5 pick. I've heard that the draft may not be very deep or whatnot. But think of the past in the draft. The spurs really haven't had very high picks. The spurs picked up unknowns like parker and ginobili who led them to championships. I don't recall what number they were picked at. But imagine if the spurs had the luxury of moving up to a 5th spot. No telling who they could pick with a pick relatively that high. I love Ginobili alot, but I think he may be on his last leg and wouldn't be too upset if he was traded as long as we got something that will help us fight for another championship. What are your guys thoughts? Sorry if this is trade thread #1042349423 too

[rayray2k8]

There is nothing in the draft for the spurs..

Sorry if this is trade thread #1042349423 too

You know this, but yet you continue to add more threads?
Still too early to be thinking about basketball.. Get another hobby.

if we get butler,young and the 5th pick for manu and oberto would be nice

make mason expandable to trade

caron butler? man, that's too good to be true. i love manu but i'd trade him for tough juice any day of the week

[Yuixafun]

so much stupid reasoning (if i can call it that) in this thread its making me lose my appe e and I have a plate of filipino home cooking in front of me.

Manu is superior to a nick young and a ing 5 pick in this draft. Trading him away will not make the Spurs better.

Last time I checked a guard over 30 with tons of mileage on his legs was hoisting up the Bill Rusell trophy, uhh..... yesterday. And a finals MVP trophy too.

Manu and Kobe possess similar drive, passion. Now both can say they won Olympic gold and the NBA Championship trophy in the same time span.

Manu at 45% with a busted ankle had the will and for ude to drop 30 on the Lakers in the WCF last year. Who else is capable of doing that? Not many...

How is it so difficult to recognize Manu is a special player. He impacts the game in ways that some sad people are incapable of seeing. In a similar fashion as Garnett amps ups Boston's defense, Manu changes the Spurs.

This years Spurs team with a supposedly better bench, than its had in recent years, failed to advance past the first round without Manu playing.

If anything, that should indicate the impact he makes, how he raises the caliber of the team from barely there playoff team, to a le contender.

You don't trade a diamond for fools gold.

Another trade Manu thread.

Expect another thousand or so before the offseason is over. It's going to be a very long offseason.

You're very optimistic.

I expect the trade Manu threads to continue up until the trade deadline. At that point, they will be replaced with the "We should have traded Manu" threads.

[SenorSpur]

The Spurs do not need a pick that high. So long as they can trade into at least the middle part of the 1st round, they should be fine. Besides the cost would be cheaper.

here's his dunk on our very own george hill.

Can we have him... please

All he needs is a good coach and players to look up to. The wizards organization is a joke. Look how roger mason flourished here.

not suprising

I hope to baby jesus this poster is sarcastic or a faker

[Bukefal]

Young is a good player, potential!

[Sissiborgo]

Get Jerrels and we are getting a good scorer and a fresh young backup player!

[robert1886]

sam young is a great player the spurs could get mid to late first round...i have no idea how they would get there just have to wait and see

First Kobe has never been season threatening injured for long periods of time, especially not of these high mile legs you are talking about.

Jordan was the best player ever to step on a basketball court, but do you think he could do the same thing if he steped on the court today? It seems some here will run Manu until his legs fall off, and even then if it does we still might get the " Manu could be healthy again next year"

Manu is a very good player but he is not inhuman like some make him out to be. He is 32 and His style of play you love (I know I do) puts major wear and tear on his body. He is now playing on 2 bum ankles, and one has been bad since his rookie year. When your young these things don't bother you much but as you get older you don't bounce back like you once could. I say this because I'm 32 now myself, and I stay fit and in shape, but I still can't get away with anything near what I could only a few years ago. Even healthy players at his age can't compete at a high level for his position.

Manu might not be completely done and could change his game and become just an outside spot up shooter where it would put less stress on his body, but would that be the Manu we love?

Honestly, how long did you truly expect Manu to play at his level of play and now especially that he has been so injured lately?

I'm a Manu fan but I'm thinking for the good of the team. Manu might not be able to help as much as he could before on the court but he still might be helpful to the team in other ways such as a trade for younger talent.

Might be. Especially if manu is in a suit around that time.

[DMX7]

Oh, how dare you suggest that an injury prone player is injured when we need him.

[Bukefal]

There are going to be many many more trade manu threads!! Damn I want the season to begin!!
