A protected 2012 pick from the Bobcats? Hmmm ... wonder if the Bulls would be interested in a less protected 2011 pick from the Spurs.
Eh probably not.
lets go ahead & stick a fork in the trade deadline for the Spurs..game over

Eh probably not.
Why can't we offer the same and throw in an extra sweetener? I don't know, some cash?

No, a bad trade would be the worst option.
Spurs can't catch a break. So much for those expirings being of use.
Tyrus Thomas was not going to save this season.
it would have been nice to see a change, but that is all it would have been.
Possibly that means Pop would have to give up Finely? Not going to happen. It's probably the soul reason that trade talks for Thomas went sour.
I know I'm speculating but you can't help thinking about it.![]()
Wojo is also reporting Thomas to the Bobcats.
"Well, maybe we can get em next year!"
I know that is what is in the back of everyone's mind.
Nothing is going to save this season. That wasn't the objective. Acquiring Thomas was about improving the roster talent and having a player that could potentially upgrade the PF position on this team.
This team needs a spark, a trade could do that. However then again it might now because it's a gamble, but then again what we currently have going isn't looking any good either.
You've been strongly against trading first-round picks. TT had enough potential for you to make an exception?
why do we need to upgrade at PF when we have Michael Finley?
oh but seriously, TT is the kind of bonehead that Pop would put in the doghouse permanently... they might as well keep the expiring contracts and some flexibility instead of having to make a $6m offer to Thomas this off-season.
now if they could have gotten rid of McDyess's contract while getting TT, i would have done that.
I would have traded our pick for Thomas. Thomas has just as much panning out potential as anyone the Spurs would draft with that pick. If it doesn't work, they let him walk.
Still am. And I wouldn't give up a 2010 or 2011 1st rounder. However, I would certainly would offer up 2 second rounders or possibly even the 2012 1st rounder.
So, it's official. Thomas went to the Bobcats.
close this thread already.
Pretty much.
Everyone that comes to the Spurs isn't going to be finished product. They will need coaching - especially young players. Pop is experiencing his frustrations right now with some of his precious veteran players.
The day that Pop loses or realizes he doesn't have the stomach to coach young, talented players, then he should step down as head coach. That's part of the deal, dude.
The only thing Spurs will have to show for their expiring contracts this year is Matt Bonner and his new 3 year deal next year that he will get offered.
That is stupidity on the Spurs' behalf.
Manu will leave for more money and he will get offered more money.
The only way I see Spurs "taking care" of Manu and matching his biggest offer is if he leads this team to the WCF or Finals. I don't see that happening.
This current team doesn't have a chance to win, if they couldn't find moves to improve the team, they should have went the other route and tried to coral as many assets for the future as possible with the expirings.
Stupid stubbornness at its best.
Here comes mediocrity for the next 5 years. ( Yes Yes I know that may sound ungrateful of the Spurs 4 les because the past is the most important right?).
My high school buddies agree with this notion. Every time I see them all they talk about and are proud about is their glory high school years. News flash people that doesn't matter anymore. It's about now and the future.
We all know Pop most likely wouldn't play those picks they are to far on the left side of 30, and I wish I could say I was joking when saying that.![]()
Wait, can somebody explain to me how we couldn't have made a better offer with Mason + a 1st round pick for THIS season?..
Just ridiculous..
They could have. They didn't.![]()
Wojo is now saying done deal.
well, Pop is going to be here as long as Duncan is, so fans (and players) are going to have to live with whatever he does or does not realize.
