Spurs should try to get Haslem

[pad300]

I don't think the deal could be made without including Barry's contract.

It could be done

Haslem's currently being paid $6,050,000. The Spurs would have to send out at least $4,760,000 and no more than $7,662,500...

Spurs salary combo's that work

Barry

2 of (Bonner, Elson, Horry, Finley, Oberto)

Bowen + (Vaughn or Udoka)

Barry + (Vaughn or Udoka or Mahinmi)

The most mutually acceptable would probably be Elson + ?Horry?. This also saves us roughly 500,000 from the payroll, probably getting us out of Luxury tax. We might have to send a pick to miami say:

Spurs 08 First + Raptors 08 Second + Elson + Horry
for
Miami 08 Second + Haslem


PS. As SS9182V6 suggests, some sort of a buyout sidedeal might be reached between the Spurs and Horry.

If Miami would take Elson and Bonner, then send them both off. I don't know why people want to trade Horry.

No . Three threads about Haslem? He still has multiple years on his contract and is one of the building blocks for Miami. Why do people keep hopping on this pipe dream? Might as well snag Yao Ming while we're at it.

He's not available. Build a bridge and get over it.

The guy thats been reported to being available is akin to a franchise player?

Cool.

Replace with him with Udoka in the hypothetical situation. In fact, the Spurs probably have to plan on Udoka playing a role from now on. The chances of Barry either getting traded or not being able to recover from his calf injury are probably around 75%. I don't know of many 36-year-old guards who have bounced back from a torn calf muscle followed by a strained calf muscle. Sounds more like the tagging type injury that usually ends an old player's career, sadly enough.

Read the article again, it says nothing about him being available. It's just the writer speculating about possibilities. It's not a trade rumor of any sort.
