No trades (fingers crossed!)

[King]

From number three on, I tried to factor in basketball implications along with my personal feelings.

1)Rasho Nesterovic
2)Beno Udrih
3)Robert Horry
4)Bruce Bowen
5)Brent Barry
6)Sean Marks


7)Nick Van Exel
8)Fabricio Oberto
9)Michael Finley
10)Melvin Sanders
11)Nazr Mohammed

Bowen would be right at the top - and why Marks at 6? Why Finley all the way down at 9?

[Peter]

Rasho at #1?! Goodness.

Even though one is 6 and the other is 9 they're actually a lot closer than that. I really like them both.

And as I said before, my first and foremost preference is to not part with anybody.

We must not have met.

Stick to the Club.

[Slo spurs fan]

Stick to the Club.

Stick to the bowling.

I hope they never trade anyone for Stoudemire. He's been out the entire season, and who knows if/when he'll ever really be ready to play again, with that knee surgery he had a few months ago. That would be a potential waste of a playable player.

Seeing that the Spurs are trying to cut cost a great trade for them would be :
Indiana Trade Breakdown
Outgoing
Jonathan Bender
7-0 SF from Picayune Memorial (HS)
5.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 1.0 apg in 10.5 minutes
Incoming
Beno Udrih
6-3 PG from Slovenia (Foreign)
3.1 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 1.5 apg in 6.6 minutes
Nazr Mohammed
6-10 C from Kentucky
4.7 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 0.3 apg in 13.7 minutes
Change in team outlook: +2.8 ppg, +2.9 rpg, and +0.8 apg.


San Antonio Trade Breakdown
Outgoing
Beno Udrih
6-3 PG from Slovenia (Foreign)
3.1 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 1.5 apg in 6.6 minutes
Nazr Mohammed
6-10 C from Kentucky
4.7 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 0.3 apg in 13.7 minutes
Incoming
Jonathan Bender
7-0 SF from Picayune Memorial (HS)
5.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 1.0 apg in 10.5 minutes
Change in team outlook: -2.8 ppg, -2.9 rpg, and -0.8 apg.



Successful Scenario
Due to Indiana and San Antonio being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Indiana and San Antonio had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.


Bender is about to retire which would save the Spurs about 6-9 million. Not sure how much his contract was but it was around 9 mill I think.

In the WOAI teaser, they showed a clip of Nazr.

A trade for Nasr might account for the fact that he's been getting a lot more minutes lately. Showcasing him for another team?

[wildbill2u]

How about Nazr to the Blazers for Prybilla...er...Prybzyla...er...that tall white guy?

[zeleni]

That would be too beautiful.
