I like the trade because I don't think Thomas will go into the stands and finish a fight....oops might of jinxed myself
Sooo, what are you saying? You mean to tell me that all this traffic is because the Trade Deadline is tomorrow and NOT because of G-Dub?
Wow, he sure had me fooled for a while there!

That's true, but more teams seem to be oriented with the half-court, since the West got bigger.Kurt Thomas is a slow player. Having him will not avoid Spurs to play small ball in certain matchups.
And Spurs won't have Barry in these small ball matchups...
Spurs give up a first round pick for a trade that make them marginally better only in certain matchups. And Thomas is a short term solution.
I don't like this trade.
I can imagine New Orleans, Denver and Dallas(?) being more uptempo against us.
But we needed a Big man, more than we needed a SF this year, so it's not a bad trade IMO.
Conversely, they have no reason to keep him either since he would just take up the playing time that needs to go to their awful young players.
I hope there he is bought out and comes back to SA. I don't like the thought of his being a hired gun for a team like Denver.
Guess I need a new avatar.
You must have forgotten who Seattle's FO and coaches came from last year..
The key question for me is, can Kurt Thomas fill Barry's role in the HEB commercials?
I highly doubt it.
I'm not sure about that. I see the logic there, though. Definitely. My thinking, though, is that they're going to like to have Barry around to close out this season and hopefully gain a little momentum.
After all, he'll seriously be like...their 4th or 5th best player.
its tough to let him go...but he was having a decent season and if they wanted him it was best to let him go...but the first rounder like everyone else says is whats tough to come to terms with...
especially if spurs pick usa born players
Yeah, I don't think that matters at all, unless they care more about helping the Spurs than about their own personal success.
Good trade...but does Kurt Thomas have anything left....I saw him play when the lakers were in town, he can still his the jumper but got abused down low. Still, don't know much about the Elston guy, but you guys got older. Time to win now....
I think Spurs needed both Udoka and Barry in a small ball configuration.
i think Thomas and Duncan can definitively match up with Gasol n' Bynum. Barry was almost traded since last season... so it's not a big upset to see him go... this trade enforces us and there's still a chance that Barry gets waived and comes back with us... i like the trade... i don't like the idea of losing the first rounder though
HEB is gonna have to shoot a bunch of new commercials.
Excactly what I thought firstKurt Thomas is a slow player. Having him will not avoid Spurs to play small ball in certain matchups.

I don't like this trade.
I'm going to sleep.
Damn I trealy don't like the trade
Barry is a great & funny guy. I'd think the other guys loved having him around. You need someone like him to keep up the chemistry in the locker room.
yeah, I don't get why the ing. Ours 1st round picks are gonna be comparable to a lottery team's 2nd round pick.
im a bit bummed about this trade.... Never been a big fan of kurt thomas... and always been a HUGE fan of barry. I really hope he manages to make his way back to this team. It is sad how quickly people have forgotten what he has done for us. The fool was straight up lights out. Our offense was the best its ever been earlier this season while Barry was on a tear.
As much as I have disliked Thomas in the past... I'm gonna put it all behind me and hope for the best. Welcome to the greatest team you'll ever play for Kurt!
I hope he lives up to his reputation as a defensive G.
If he brings the nasty, then he will undoubtedly help our repeat chances.
So Long Barry... I'll miss you man.
I only consider this a one player trade and a 1st rounder. Elson just doesn't ing count. I woulda dumped him for nothing.
So Barry and a 1st rounder...and Barry's injured. Dunno how bad the injury is, or how long he's out, but the trade boils down to this:
1 injured/sidelined backup player and a very late 1st round pick...for a very experienced, knowledgeable, defensive minded center.
Absolute no brainer.
Good move.
Yeah I was totally against the idea of getting Thomas .... until the Lakers got Gasol and the Suns got Shaq. Now that the West has gotten bigger, Thomas makes more sense.Kurt Thomas is a slow player. Having him will not avoid Spurs to play small ball in certain matchups.
And Spurs won't have Barry in these small ball matchups...

I don't like this trade.
I do agree that this trade doesn't help against many teams. Who besides the Suns and the Lakers does Thomas play against? He'd get destroyed by Dirk. He can't guard David West. He can't guard Okur. He doesn't help against Houston, Denver, Portland or Golden State.
In the East, he doesn't help against the Celtics because Garnett would just take him away from the basket. Ditto with Rasheed and Detroit.
It appears as if the Spurs now see the Suns and Lakers as their two biggest threats. That's the only reason you make this trade. Against those two teams, Thomas will be useful. Against everyone else? I'd rather have Oberto out there.
so what about artest?
But But I thought everyone else was making trades to catchup with the Spurs? Now the Spurs are making trades to matchup with Gasol and Bynum? Which is it????
Like the trade very much. Really hate to lose the draft pick though.
Proof once again, that Pop and RC WILL only make acquire players who are 34 years of age and older.
FYI, whoever said Dallas fans would be mad about this--you couldn't be more wrong. We thought you were about to get Artest for those 2 guys. We would have been mad about that.
I'm happy about this--means you're not getting Artest.
