so now a trade involving Barry and Devin Brown is a blockbuster?
Nobody cares about Rasho, Bonner or Williams. I think it's 50/50 when a trade hits the media that it may happen, remember the rumors last year about Miami getting walker, then that trade became a huge deal between like 5 or 6 teams right? anyway, the deal could already be done but GS had wait until the 12th to send off Fisher so maybe other teams got in on that deal.
exactly, misleading le
I am talking about the SA media-- they never know anything.
Can't see the Spurs taking Murphy. It doesn't fit their '08 plans and I think they've learned their lesson in taking on contracts that are near impossible to move.
Well, it involves several different players from 3 teams....that's considered Blockbuster in NBA terms.
I would only want Barry to leave if involves a long three and a point guard in return because of the fact that we could use Barry as a backup PG.
At least the spurs front bureau isn't sitting on their ass watching the summer sizzle away
I heard the following:
Harrington to GS
Pietrus to SA
Eric Williams to ATL
If so, grand larceny by the Spurs
That would just be ridiculous.
Very happy if that was to happen
where on espn?
Pietrus for Williams? Holy crap.
Would that work? Good for SA and GS I don't see why Atl. would do it? To clear more cap space?
It was proposed upthread. You should look back.
To recap:
Atlanta can only receive expiring contracts as per order of the court during their ownership battle. GSW wants Harrington and will get him for more than the MLE. With expirings from the Utah trade, San Antonio joins in with Williams' contract. All the expiring contracts go to Atlanta and make up Harrington's S&T salary.
To make it easier for Atlanta to handle, some of the contracts (Devin Browns') are not fully guaranteed, so the cost of the actual contract is far less when he is waived. Money can be sent Atlanta's way to defray further costs. And then draft picks/the rights to Scola could be combined to finish it off.
It's all predicated on the Warriors sending Pietrus to SAS for the use of Eric Williams' contract. That seems a little too amazing, so unlikely, even if they do get their man Al Harrington out of it -- and they wind up upgrading from Pietrus to him and not losing any important other players.
Maybe it's doable.
I'm guessing GS would deal Murphy or Dunleavy too. They have to ease the contracts they have and Pietrus was supposedly the bait for taking Murphy earlier in the summer.
I hope this goes down. That would be awesome. We'd still keep Barry.
Not in this trade. The only reason I don't think GS does it is because Pietrus is one of their few cheap tradeable assets. They want to bundle him with a crap contract, as you say.
Murphy actually has value. Dunleavy has cost, no value.
Thanks a lot!
spurs need to be compensated for taking on troy's contract so that's why they may make out from a basketball standpoint on a trade.
You are an idiot if you ever thought they were, why do you think they call him CIA Pop?
They're not taking on Troy Murphy's contract.
This is a SpursTalk pipe dream.
The Spurs WILL NOT take on four contracts costing $10M+ a season. Not to mention Duncan's is approaching $20M.
That's about $50M per season for four players.
They would have to get rid of Parker or Ginobili in order to take on Troy Murphy.
what is pietrus' wingspan?
What? And who do the Spurs have to give up/trade? Where's Brent/Beno/Oberto in that trade?
I don't believe the Spurs are involved in this deal...
Al Harrington: Sign-and-Trade to Golden State?

Update: The Warriors appear to be close to acquiring Harrington in a sign-and-trade deal with Atlanta, the San Jose Mercury News reports. If Atlanta and Golden State do come to an agreement, the Hawks would likely acquire Troy Murphy and/or Mickael Pietrus. When asked if a deal would be done in the near future, Warriors representative Chris Mullin said, "give us a few days."
No way Spurs`s take on Murphy's contract for Pietrus. Next year Pietrus is in a`qaulifyng year so Spurs would have to renegotiate his contract. That would mean taking on Murphy's contract that runs`through 2011 for a`one year rental on Pietrus.
Atlanta would be eqaully stupid taking on Pietrus and Murphy but they've been known to be stupid before. If Atlanta takes on Murphy they should insist on Biendrins rather than Pietrus. Not as if the Hawks don't have enough swing players already.
