Here's a "big trade" the Spurs could easily make.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm fine with making a good trade, but so what?

[Holt's Cat]

Hardee-har-har, guys.

So if I get this right, you all are in favor of doing exactly [I]nothing[?i] to imporve the team.

Stay pat, let the team get older

Your solution is to move their youngest star.

, and pray for a good free agent signing in the future.

But I thought you don't trust the front office to bring anyone god in via free agency?

You want the Spurs to enter the free agent market earlier in a less attractive year.

[Holt's Cat]

Calderon is averaging 7 points less a night and giving up TP for him would be dumb.

[Ghost Writer]

Look at percentages, 3s made, rebounds, steals, assists.

Trust me, the 12 I listed are are aggregately better.

Scoring average isn't the only criteria Holt's Cat.





The point is that Parker is not a franchise player, but in your trade proposal, you can get a dutiful replacement in Kidd for 2 years and then bring in a bonafide stud in 2009 0r 2010.

Not really. Well, perhaps all 12 combined...

Scoring average isn't the only criteria Holt's Cat.

Parker averages more points and assists per game than Ellis, first off. What's more important for a scoring point guard? I'm not going to bother looking at the stats of the rest after that. In any event there's maybe 2 other players you can argue for Parker when you look at their age and what they've accomplished in the league.

What franchise player are the Spurs supposed to land in 2009 via free agency? The Spurs couldn't land a franchise player via free agency in 2003 despite offering a 27 year old Tim Duncan to play with for the next 7 seasons and max money. Of course, you do realize that when trying to land another team's max free agent the player's own team holds a significant advantage with the amount of guaranteed $ they can offer, no?

You are simply incapable of ascertaining the fact that Parker is that "bonafide stud".

[Ghost Writer]

6-1 without Parker and journeyman D. Stoudamire on the Spurs

Yeah, Parker is indispensible.

[Holt's Cat]

Great. When are we moving him for LeBron?

[Ghost Writer]

Parker gets his because other teams are more concerned about Duncan and Manu.

6 wins
1 loss

7-2 overall without Parker

Yet this is who you want to build the franchise around.

[Holt's Cat]

Last night they would have been dropped had they not been playing a cellar team from the East. But since they ed around and found a way to beat the Bobcats the Spurs need to trade their 25 year old rising star point guard just so they can make a big trade and make some gimp happy.

[Ghost Writer]

7-2

I thought the Spurs held the 'Cats to 65 points.

I must've seen a different game.

7-2

[Extra Stout]

2003 called. It wants its thread back.

Well, as long as the Spurs are playing a Suns team without Shaq and the Wizards with nobody and the Knicks, Bobcats, and Pacers they can win in the postseason without Parker. But lookout for those Celtics without Garnett or those mighty Sonics.

Parameters are different 5 years later if you bothered to read.

[Holt's Cat]

Parameters are different 5 years later if you bothered to read.

Yeah, the Spurs won 3 les during that time doing exactly the opposite of what you argued for.

[Ghost Writer]

Should've been more.

Definitely could've been more.



P.S.

You were the biggest advocate for Kidd in 2003, while I smartly lobbied for Brand.

[Holt's Cat]

They tried Brand too. He wouldn't come to SA because it was a small market.

Should've been more? Yeah, they had a shot at 5 in a row, doing precisely the opposite of what you said they should have done.

The Spurs are wasting Tim Duncan's prime by not making bold, risky moves. Tony Parker is not a championship-caliber point guard.

The Spurs not only can a championship with Tony Parker, they can knock on the door of a dynasty with him.

My theory is that somehow Ghost Writer was accelerated very close to the speed of light, such that what we perceive to be five years to him has been two weeks.

This confirms you are ed in the head.

What would I have done besides trade for talent?

[ElNono]

He's still in the island...

[Ghost Writer]

ElNono translated from Hispanic means "The Void."

[misterx91578]

ok let's trade because they can never go wrong

[Ghost Writer]

Wow.

You're brave.
