Would you trade Tim Duncan for Lebron James

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I would be interested in trading Duncan for Howard...but not this year. Maybe 3 years or so. But today Duncan and a bunch of other players are a lot better than Howard. LeBron is the only player I would take Duncan for if we had to do the trade today.

But you have TP and Manu. Why get a similar player?

Aslo, 3 years down the line...the deal might not even be accepted by Orlando. You have to look ahead a little now, of course it's easy to say "in 3 years when Howards a stud and Duncan is just above average I would do the deal".

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Tim's too iconic. I also believe in storied franchises, legacies and all that stuff. You retire Tim a Spurs like you did Robinson. Same goes for Ginobili and Parker. They are Spurs for life, just as you are a fan for life. Do or die.

Btw, I'm thinking of starting a Spurs fan "firm" to get some hooliganism going. Yes, I'm watching the World Cup these days.

I can see Tim, Manu, David...those kinds of guys being Spurs for life.

For some reason I have a feeling TP would bolt if the situation was right.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

As for loyalty...

Where was the loyalty when Tim toy'd with our emotions for the whole Orlando summer? I'm not saying he doesn't love the city and pour his guts out for this team...but it's a business. I would like to keep him. I would love to keep him. But if the right deal comes along you can't say no.

[rascal]

...and it took him 3 seasons...IN THE EAST. Yeah, he's dominant, all right.

LeBron doesn't have much in his teammates. And don't tell me Illgauskas or Larry Hughes. He is a dominate force already.

[rascal]

Cleveland wouldn't even trade LeBron for Duncan.

[exstatic]

rascal, you'd trade your mother for a cookie, and then complain for the next 10 years.

[Horry For 3!]

I like LeBron but I would never trade Timmy. If it was anyone else, then yes.

[Horry For 3!]

I'd trade Manu and Tony if necessary to win le, but just not Tim for anything in the world. It would be like Chicago trading Jordan, Boston trading Bird, or LA trading Shaq.

Shaq was traded from the Magic then Lakers

[ChumpDumper]

He wasn't traded from the Magic, and, seeing as he lives in LA, I'm sure that was a dig at the Busses.

[Holmes_Fans]

Yeah, TD looked old and decrepit in the postseason. Are Mavs fans just naturally dumb or is it alcohol induced?

I never said he looked old in the post season, I quoted someone saying how well he did in the postseason and said there is no way he can play like that all season long. I acknowledged how well he played in the postseason. Can all spurs fans not read? Listen to clubalien, he can comprehend simple messages.


and any spurs fan who would really want to trade TD for Lebron if the situation came up should be shot. Even if Duncan has to pace himself during the season, still is the reason the spurs won 3 rings.

[pjjrfan]

Tim is not that old, he still has 3 or more years of some great ball, nagging injuries have really hobbled him the last two years but this last playoff run Tim showed how much he still has in the tank. He also showed how much we need another athletic big or a versatile player who can play the 3, 4 and on occasion the 5. A Malik type player, a younger Horry.

[ChumpDumper]

I quoted someone saying how well he did in the postseason and said there is no way he can play like that all season long.

Trying to blame someone else for a dumbass statement is lame.

[Axl Van Dam]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Holmes_Fans]

Trying to blame someone else for a dumbass statement is lame.

How is that a dumbass statement? and how was I blaming someone else, I am agreeing with them, you are an idiot.

Do you really think Duncan can play 41 minutes ,shoot .584, and score 32.3 a night the entire season including the playoffs? You are just a dumbass if you think he can play the way he did in round 2 for and entire season. He is in the same boat with shaq, he will have to pace himself during the season and wait till the playoffs to put up huge numbers.

[bonzi_isaspurskiller]

i hate the asshole but spurs fan who RIGHT NOW would not trade duncan for james is either a re or a goddamn liar. lebron is a piece of to me but you dont flinch on that deal. anyone saying otherwise only wishes they had the chance to make it happen. bet that.

[MissAllThat]

This is a tough one. I love Lebron, but I love Duncan also. At this point in their careers, I'm not sure. But in a year or two, if we had some sort of replacement for Duncan, then yes. And by replacement, I just mean someone to play the position, because Horry can't cut it for a whole season. Just a young guy, doesn't have to be great.

[word]

Yes or no?

I'd trade Ginobili AND Duncan for Lebron James.

[dbreiden83080]

Don't be so sure.

Jeter was more sacred than he is now. I think he's lost some of his...what's the word...zest? No that's not it. Allure? Man it's hiding in the back of my head, what's the ing word.

I am a yankees fan and i can assure you Jeter is as sacred now in NY as he ever was, why do you think A-Rod takes so much in NY because everyone compares him to Jeter that is why. Jeter will always be the king of NY and Timmy will always be the man in SA.

[abelle23]

...not gonna happen...timmy all the way

[ducks]

I'd trade Ginobili AND Duncan for Lebron James.

[DarrinS]

I'd trade Nick Van Exel for Lebron, straight up.

[Leetonidas]

I'd trade Nick Van Exel for Lebron, straight up.

, I'd trade Nick Van Exel for LeBron Johnson.

You're on my list, spurskiller.

No way would I trade Tim for Lebron, not now anyway. So we go from a legitimate le contender to a possible playoff team? No thanks.

We already have one developing player in Tony Parker. Plenty of time to get Lebron later anyway, as long as we are dreaming...
