would you trade manu for an all star that can.....

[ALVAREZ6]

Michael Redd??? Better shooter, but can't hold Manu's jockstrap as a penetrator or defender. Plus far more expensive. Nah.

Ray Allen? Love his game, would be great with Duncan, but too old and too expensive.

Carter? You gotta be kidding. He's all about VC's stat line. Major Wanker.

Melo? No way. You can just tell the kid is another VC inside his head. Nice athlete, but skull- ed.

I keep Manu all the way. He's our man, and he's not finished improving either.

***ding ding ding***
we have a winner

Hey boutons, i brought up all of the same concerns you did in my first post. But those were really just some other players I'm paritial to in this league that I could see the spurs possibly trading for.

[Dre_7]

Just kinda skimmed through this, so I dont know if its already been said, but... I would trade him for J. O'Neal for sure and MAYBE TMac.

[SequSpur]

yeah, trade him.

[SuBZer0]

Its the one right next to the President's Trophy. The one you get in hockey for finishing with the best regular season.

lol

J.O = too injury prone and he is not a swingman - we already have a power forward who is more than capable

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Guys I would trade Manu for:

Lebron
Elton Brand
Amare
Gilbert Arenas
Michael Redd
Shaq
Wade

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Michael Redd jumpstarts an offense my ass! lol lol!

I wouldnt trade Manu for anyone cept Lebron and Wade. Redd does NOT pass. neither does Melo or Kobe or TMac.

Since we talking trades why dont we do a Parker for Arenas trade? I sort of like the sound of that. Arenas has proven that he can bring it and lead. He can score 40 a night with ease. He can also not score and play well giving out high assists. He loves to set up big man and if he can give Kwame and Haywood those looks. Think of how he can help Rasho Duncan and Nazr.

Most importantly, he is more consistent than Parker and longer. Any comments?

So you're telling me that TD at center, JO at PF would not be unstopable?
Add to that frontline, Parker at PG, Barry or Brown at SG, and Bowen or GRob at SF.

NBA championship right there!

[pigknuckles]

play 40 minutes a game night end and night out?

If he can not correct his physical condition you have to think about this. Only because right now he can not even play back to back games. HE is not as old as shaq even. This could cost the spurs homecourt advantage. If he can only play every game of the season playing off the bench just maybe he should be the 6 man. If spurs do not trade him. By the way I like manu and I think he deserved to go to the allstar game. I think he has proven in the 4 quarter he can bring it. I am just trying to discuss what would be good for the OVERALL TEAM not just MANU.

That is the downside of Manu's playing style, it lends itself to injuries. I like his all out style, but he borders on being reckless. If you take away his aggressive style, you take away his asset to the team.

I don't know If you could get the same caliber of talent for 55 mil.

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

SPURS trade an all star for MANU and the all star averages 40 minutes every game I can see it now POP over played him he ran out of gas in the playoffs that is why the SPURS lost we need to fire POP.POP does not know how to handle all star player regular season minutes.fire pop threads all over the the city and radio waves.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't want Redd to jumpstart the offense. I want him to shoot wide open jump shots when Tim is double teamed.

hmmmmm...before we surrender lets see how BigDog works out this year for pocket change and an SBC parking pass..

No, not really..We'd still need a SG/SF that could score, provide energy, jumpstart the offense, slash, and have a tremendous amount of heart. Timothy would take a while to truly adjust to the 5 spot. And JO would barely play half the season - he wouldn't be able to learn the system & adjust, AND if TD played at PF during that time (Rasho would obviously play centre), then how would Tim get back into playing centre??

[Dre_7]

Timothy would take a while to truly adjust to the 5 spot.

People dont understand that Tim already plays center. Everytime there is a lineup on the floor of TD/Horry, TD/Rose, TD/Marks, he is basically playing center. If thats a prob, then they could just move ONeal to center. I think he would have been a great addition to the team. Too bad Isiah wasnt fired before free agency. Oh well, still have a great team.
