I wouldn't mind AI coming here. Tony is out of the question though.
because of salary reasons AI isnt coming here. maybe after his contract expires, we'll see if he has anything left then.
however, KG + AI will be trouble no matter how scrubby their supporting cast is. I'd like to see that happen, they are both among the hardest compe ors in the league.
If Finley's and shot is consistent as it was yesterday, this team is headed for another championship. No need for AI.
I think AI would do well in Minny. The question is, does Minny want to do well, flame out in the playoffs, and miss a chance at Oden? I see the more likely scenario is that Minny sucks and takes their chances on Oden. If they do land the pick, then they can move KG this summer after the draft, and start building the supporting cast.
no more players our team is so good
I just don't see AI fitting into the Spur's system. I love the guy's game, but AI still has issues with practice, team rules, and basically being told what to do and when to do it. Something that is going to happen once he is in a Spur's uni and Pop is the head coach. The other thing you have to give up something, Manu or Tony or both. I don't think Tim is in the running. Plus also realize that while some here hate the talk about our Spurs are an old team, losing Tony or Manu for AI will make us older, and AI is injury prone, although he bounces back quickly but those bouncing backs get tougher the older you get.
The other thing is that Tony has never been a complainer. He mouthed off once about Kidd, but everyone forgets that during that 2003 championship run Tony never once ed or whined about the courting of Kidd by the fans and the media. It was constantly thrown in his face and the Kid maintained his cool, always saying the right things and doing the right things. I remember a lot of people raked him over the coals once he did speak up during the summer. AI has no constraints, he learned from the master, Larry Brown, on how to use the press.
There are reasons why AI won't be a Spur on so many levels--age, style of play, our trade possibilities, salary cap, health, etc that I can't see why anyone still thinks this is a possibility.
But most importantly you have to think twice when a team official publicly states that the player has played his last game for the team and benches their superstar. Something is obviously wrong in the team chemistry with their superstar--and he's had a history of being a headcase. Do we need this?
I don't want to hear anyone say that the Spurs "psychological services" provided by Pop and our veterans can improve AI's mental at ude. We have a great team now with the best record in the league--let's not get distracted and get on with winning a championship.
The "big dog" was past his prime, and sitting that's why he was available and Pop probably laid it out for him in plain simple "popspeak." AI is still in his prime and his ego is even more in it's prime. AI might tow the line for a while, but the itch in his ego will eventually get to him. Of course winning can cure a lot ills, losing will bring out the monster in AI for sure.
Me too
I would gladly give the Phily Ricky (20 ppg/scorer)+Foye (potential All Star)+Hudson (bad contract but can score 10)+EG (good rebounder great shotblocker) for AI.
We could be nearly a contender again.
we would need only 1more center who can hustle,defend,and bring some energy and athleticism to the court (like Elson) a better head coach and some luck.
I don;t know why this trade poped up all of a suddent but I have seen suggestion of getting AI years ago and think giving up manu + filler but i wouldn;t give up TP since he is young.
no sprewell for tp trade though
I hear that Cuban and the Mavs are "hot on the trail" of AI, as are several other teams. The one thing the Mavs have over many of the other teams is tradeable assets. Should be interesting.
hey hey now
I can see people suggestiong trading TP for AI since AI is talanted
but the rules I heard on this or spursreport is " you never trade big for small"
and to add that IAN Mahinmi is the futre dominate return of david robinson
no way we trade our future away for AI
I wouldn't want A.I. at all.
I like Tony better in the system than Iverson. Plus Iverson is old and Tony is young. I would take a younger player than older player any day. As long they were about even in talent.
....and don't forget tremendously more expensive too.
no thank you. got to give up too much to get him. or team is just fine as is.
Why would you want to ruin your team by putting AI on your team?
tp putting up 15 assist yesterday
he is telling spurs he can score or he can put up assist
whatever they want
he is telling them no need for ai
Word from Yahoo Sports is that Dallas and Boston are currently the frontrunners. Philly wants Devin Harris - Cuban is balking.
You are dumb. Put Duncan in Philly instead of SA
Parker 0
Iverson 2+
Allen Iverson would break every bone in Parker's body by crossing him over so many times. AI>>>Tony Parker
Wouldn't do the trade though because it would take Manu and Tony. If it only involved Parker and another player that is not super important I'd would pull it off.
sixers are not going to get tp and manu offers now that ai has demanded a trade
during offseason yes not know
they will get a stud and young prospects and picks
watch
tp and david robinson would have beaten duncan and ai
I'd love to see the tug of war for shots between AI and Dirk. It could well ruin the team.
aj would earn his paychecks with coaching aj and dirk
and trying to keep howard happy with the lack of touches to if they get ai
oh I forgot he had to keep terry happy to if he is not involved in the trade
No way. Iverson is way better than TP. Whenever anyone thinks he's finished he proves them wrong. He's got the biggest heart in the game, added with his talent makes him one of the best gaurds in the history of this game. Tim Duncan is now better than David Robinson as well.
AI got to the NBA Finals with little supporting cast. Tony Parker will NEVER do that. Along with that David Robinson and Tony couldn't win a championship without Duncan. Duncan won a championship without David Robinson, and I bet you he could win another without TP.
One million dollars.
