Dayum Shoog...not another reference to a CFL'er in th NBA..Cannibus Lover Forever. We might as well get Chris Andersen or Uncle Cliffy!!!
It would cost them about $1.5M and one roster spot to find out.

I'm all for a Barry/Smith trade but I won't re-do a Barry/Smith-Macijauskas. I rather trade Barry for nothing to a team under the cap than spending $3.5M for two average backup SG.
Macijauskas' contract ends next summer. You stick him on IR, and he saves you most of one year of Brent's deal by coming off the books 06/30/07.
You're a moron. Look, we are extremely capped out, we need to get players back for what tradeable assets we do have. Where do you think we're going to pick up all the players we need to fill out this roster? It's not like we have cap room to play with.I'm all for a Barry/Smith trade but I won't re-do a Barry/Smith-Macijauskas.

Our needs:
Youth at the SF and SG spots, more shooters to space the floor for TD, an athletic big man, and a backup PG.
Smith and Maci address two of our four needs this off-season.
hoopshype says he has a player option for the 07-08.
Macijauskas totally and completely sucks. He's no answer to anything excpet who to put on the reserves' list.
Thanks and it's funny because you are clueless about our needs and Salary cap/Luxury tax mecanisms.
I was going off of info on Patricia's various basketball stuff site. It's usually pretty accurate.
Hoopshype too is quite accurate.
after a quick search :

When the moratorium is lifted, perhaps late next week, Macijauskas will sign a two-year deal with the Hornets, with a player option for a third.
no love for Gwallace? how come? i absolutely love his game. the man is a great defender. he was a MONSTER for my fantasy team. BUT he will want a HUGE contract, starting minutes, etc. he is also VERY injury prone. he was out most of the season for me, then he was always listed as day-to-day. we cant rely on that type of player if we are aiming for a championship. if he was willing to play a backup role id be glad to have him aboard.We needs Gerald Wallace.
You just listed the very reason why Wallace won't be here. Dependability is a must; especially if he is trying to negotiate a nice contract.
yea thats why i backtracked a little towards the end there, where i said if he was willing to play a backup role id be happy to have him. you cant deny his defensive numbers and he is a LONG 3. just very injury prone.Dependability is a must
can't deny the defense but I'm a little wary on his offensive punch. It would be nice for the Spurs to get a three man that can drive to the basket, have a good mid range jumper and give some quality defense. Those type of guys, for the Spurs, are really hard to come by. Unless the Spurs find a guy like this under a rock, i really can't put my finger on exactly who would fit this team's needs RIGHT NOW.
Is there a way we could do Barry for Smith + Cash?
nbascribe, in the other thread there is talks from chicago tribune that the bulls are interested in scola. maybe a scola for luel deng trade? he fits your bill quite well. a long three with good offensive skills, decent to good defensive skills but he can learn under master bruce.
it was gonna happen that way right before the allstar break. we couldnt get the paperwork done in time. iam sure that offer will come up again in the offseason. we might even get a little more since barrys stock has gone up.Is there a way we could do Barry for Smith + Cash?
I'd do that but with Deng potentially having a long contract till 08-09, I don't know if the Spurs would be interested in such a deal. financially this is kind of irresponsible because Scola's deal would only be a three year deal and I don't think Chi-town would want to go through the hoops necessary to make this happen (buy out what the Spurs paid to get him, etc).
Keep in mind that international contract rules are real finicky for the league and that the team has to be able to fit that player under the cap 'legally' in the NBA.
Asked and answered, your honor...
Wait a minute...who let Judge Whopner in this discusion?
Yep. I'd much rather have Wallace over Smith. He provides so much more on both sides of the ball (steals, blocks, assists, defense, scoring) and would certaninly fill the need for the long-coveted "long, athletic 3-man".
However if Charlotte is " bent" on keeping Wallace (and why wouldn't they), then I'd recommend pursuing Smith.
Only if N.O. has sufficient caproom. I'm not sure they do.
Barry's stock is indeed up. We should also dangle him to other teams (Den, Min, NO) that are looking for a veteran shooter. Get the best deal possible, but get back youth, athleticism and some cap space flexibility.
They do. We wouldn 't need cash from them. The savings from getting rid of Barry pays for itself. We'd also get a trade exception, though we probably wouldn't use it.
What the ??? Barry's stock is up? How? He was a no show again in the playoffs; a time where the spurs thought he was going to be key. He's a good shooter but he's very gun shy. Pop gave him green light to shoot and he didn't take advantage of it. That's two years in a row.
One of the biggest reasons why the Spurs failed to advance was their lack of bench production. well guess who is on the bench? Brent Barry!! Where was he in the playoffs? Scared to shoot a good majority of the time.
The best thing fo the Spurs to do is to actually look AFTER the draft and see what young talent was not picked up. I made mention of this in another post: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...ius+washington
