I shouldn't even post but.. I really don't give a crap about anything til it happens... which it won't.
What I want to know is......
What if the Maggette trade doesn't happen?
I mean, even if Pop pulled his head out of his ass when it came to the rotations, we all seem to agree this roster just isn't cutting it.
So if this fantasy Maggette trade fizzles out, where do we go from here?
I'm glad to see the team addressing their issues, but with so much hope placed on Maggette, what is our Plan B?
Back on ChumpDumper's thought earlier .. what picks would you give up? I think the Spurs have a first and three seconds this year. Would you give up the first and a second, if the deal was Barry+Beno+picks+cash?
If we trade Barry, the solid shooting is a bit gone
There's a whole month's worth of Sam Smith articles to come.
oops, sorry about that
If the Clippers wanted Bonner, Barry, Beno and a 2007 first round pick for Maggette, do you pull the trigger?
Question.

The offseason.
The trade would've been done yesterday.
activate Butler.
based on January and the return of the new old ball, i would pick finley. barry has 2 0 fors and a 1 for 4 since the ball returned. and the dallas game, he seemed hesitant to pull the trigger on his 3 whereas in the prior months he would have let it rip. fin may be chucking up but he's trying to make something happen. really it's like choosing between the devil and satan since they both aren't playing at a high level now
No, on the first round pick....Thats getting greedy they can have Scola or a second rounder.
Its not there with him, wtf games are you watchingIf we trade Barry, the solid shooting is a bit gone
BTW,
Yes on the first round pick.
Maggette is young, and is the elusive SF that were looking for.
I'd give up a first rounder. The top of this year's draft will be excellent, but the Spurs aren't going to be in the top 1/2 of the first round. *knocks on wood*
I understand giving it up with Malik for 05 Nazr, but without that pick, the Clips already got the better end of the deal. Take out the pick and Bonner, and add 2 our second rounders plus Scola.If the Clippers wanted Bonner, Barry, Beno and a 2007 first round pick for Maggette, do you pull the trigger?

I think another problem for Fin last night, you could tell at times he was pressing.
He wants to beat em real bad, and I felt bad for him.
He could use a couple games off, and then come back refreshed probobly.
barry though, is done, and has been done.
Luckily, the Spurs are taking steps in the right direction regardless of a trade. Settling on one of Finley or Barry will make this team better. Getting Bonner on the floor more will make this team better. More Parker and perhaps more Duncan and Manu will make this team better.
The gulf between the Spurs and the Mavs isn't so big that the Spurs MUST get help from an outside source. If they alter the rotations and the way they play, I think they can catch back up.
But they'd need to be major changes ... and this articles cites pretty major changes. Going younger (Bonner over Horry) and eliminating Finley or Barry from the rotation is a drastic step for this team.
But a good one.
i would, you get a proven commodity in maggette who can come in and contribute immediately. and 07 draft pick unless it was top 10, brings in another player to put at the end of the bench with white, and butler. if you're trying to win a few more championshipgs, before the duncan window closes, you gotta do it.If the Clippers wanted Bonner, Barry, Beno and a 2007 first round pick for Maggette, do you pull the trigger?

Bonner is a huge upgrade over getting Beno, that was their sweetener they can have a second rounder or two, but that can't have the first round.
I take Finley over Barry... At least Finley can create his own shot. Plus he played 10x's better last year in the playoffs vs. the Mavs
ABSOLUTELY NOT on the first rounder. Second rounder at the most. I don't think a first would make a huge difference in convincing them they want Barry+.
Btw, we get three second rounders only if Chicago finishes with a top-9 record.
True. They currently have the league's 10th best record.
Go Bulls Go
If I throw in a pick this year, I'd try to get a future 1st rounder out of the Clippers, lotto protected for a year or two maybe.
And get a look at Korolev. Why not?

Glad to read a positive view on the team, after last night.
