Hill's defense was overrated.
huh?
a rumor that the Spurs might be in busines for a PG and the whole forum goes nuts and call such an idea a bad one? well, the game is still about defense as well and I think none can deny that the Spurs often struggle to defend the opponents PGs. when Hill was traded the Spurs lost something in this department and didn't compensate for it. of course you can argue, that Manu and Neal bring enough playmaking for the back up PG role. but do they provide enough defense, especially against the faster PGs?

Bruno, do you really think it is that difficult to find a PF that is better than Bonner/Blair? I mean, I know trades are difficult and there are a lot of unknowns, but Blair/Bonner are not anywhere close to starting caliber bigs on a playoff team.
im certain a trade is going down....
You'd think people would realize by now that whatever is printed is bull and likely not what the FO is pursuing
You'd think.
I suppose that another possibility here, giving some credence to the report, is that the Spurs believe that they have some assurance that if Diaw is bought out, he'll only have eyes for SA; assuming that's true, the trade market does become a place to shore up other concerns. I think it's possible that the basketball group believes that the Spurs would be better if Ginobili and Neal are playing primarily in the wing rotation, with Parker and the backup PG to be named handling the point.
Or maybe the Spurs want to acquire a backup PG to allow them to throw Parker into the deal to get Dwight Howard.
another year, another crushing of spursfan hopes at trade deadline
I don't know, just tell me some names of starting caliber PF Spurs can get...
Good question. Bruno, how much money will the Spurs have to work with considering TJ's injury and retirement? They can replace his salary can't they?
Spurs still have G. Hill excepction.
The best d-league pg is ... ?
Would you guys want Goran Dragic?
yes please. We'd like to trade RJ for him.
He'd be a great pick up actually. Cheap contract too, and expiring. Not sure what Houston would want for him.
How funny would it be to trade Dejuan Blair for him? Almost like we've made that trade before....
We need to focus on bigs before guards though. Way before.
I don't think a team gets any sort of automatic exception for a retired player.
My recollection is that when a player announces that he is retiring for medical reasons, the team can get an exception if the medical reasons are validated by a league doctor, but then the cap savings don't go into effect for another year. And if the player later comes back, the team that got the cap savings has whatever amount was saved applied to its cap in the year the player returns. This situation arose a few years ago with Darius Miles and it made Portland look really bad (along with costing them a lot of money).
TJ Ford has a min salary. His retirement won't really impact Spurs financial situation. He might be part of a package to help Spurs absorb a bigger salary. Spurs can too salary dump him and save about $700K in luxury tax.
No crushed hopes here-
I realize the Spurs are very limited with regards to getting a deal done.
More so now than in the past. In the TD era only one trade of any significance- Malik for Nazr.
Spurs need to initiate talks not sit by the phone sipping wine waiting for the phone to ring. We all know the kind of deals pop makes while under the influence.
The Grizzlies got M. Speights for X. Henry and on short notice. We couldn't have turned J. Anderson into a bigman? The reason we're not getting any big men is because Pop doesn't think it's fair to Bonner/Blair.
Dragic is too valuable especially with Lowry out.
And what have those two scrubs done? Pop is a idiot
Everyone's on the block except for Bonner?
What a quality poster your shaping up to be. And I'm sure JA wowed the rest of the NBA with his stellar play this season. Wouldn't be surprised that alot of teams are trying to take JA off the Spur's hands. Why just stop with a big? We should be able to land a backup pg. and a draft pick for JA.
X. Henry hasn't shown much in his NBA career either. Both guys at this point are worth more in potential than in what they've shown. Potential can be an important factor in trades.
Isn't every reasonable Front office always listening to trade offers? Seems like a silly thread le.
Spurs front office will hear but not listen.
