Money Mase for Marc Gasol. I have started fasting.
Thank you blackjack
It is a pipedream to an extent, but for Bruno to say " It makes no sense at all" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Mason wants out.
Ford had this in his chat today about OKC:
Mason + Bonner for Nick Collison + 1st.Take Nick Collison off their hands for an expiring contract and get one of their first round picks.
Mason & Bonner are both out of town then plus a first. Plus Collison is just the kind of stiff that would be a mistake that Pop, the FO, and a lot of Spurs fans are in love with, plus his contract only runs one more year. Plus this deal gets the Spurs slightly cheaper luxury tax obligations.
To adjust Manu4Tres's trade a bit

Add $3 million from SAS to GSW. Ad 2010 1st from SAS to GSW (or Splitter, but not both).
Mahinmi goes to GSW instead; CHI doesn't want/need his salary for the rest of the year, and the associated cap hold. CHI moves both Thomas and Salmons for expirings (basically what they want).
Spurs FO loves it. Saves 2.6 Million in Lux tax and prorated same in Salary. That's where the $3Million to GSW comes from.
GSW gets 2 prospects (Mahinmi, 2010 pick), moves one they have issues with (Randolph), and switches Maggette's long deal for the shorter Jefferson deal. Costs them about 1.8 Million in lux tax and the pro-rated salary, but that's what the $3 Million is for...

Y! sources: Spurs trying to trade Antonio McDyess as prelude to making deal for Chicago's Tyrus Thomas:
The Spurs paying $3 million to anyone would be a sign of the end-times.
I know they went 'all-in' with Jefferson . . . but they've never even bought a draft pick. The only time I can think of when the Spurs paid money to another team was with the Beno deal and only because that saved them more money off the tax.
Holt was going to let Parker walk over $2 million until shamed into paying publicly.
$3 million can't be realistic can it? For any deal?
Don't know. The proposal on the table saves them that money from the current salary structure...Given that they are already committed to spending that money, they might.
The San Antonio Spurs are trying to unload Antonio McDyess(notes) and the remaining $7.5 million owed him after this season to possibly clear a way to make a trade for Chicago Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas(notes), league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Spurs have been searching for expiring deals to move McDyess, who will make $4.9 million next season and is guaranteed about $2.6 million in 2011-12. Trading McDyess would free minutes and give them greater flexibility to re-sign Thomas this summer if they want. Thomas would give the Spurs a younger, more athletic complement to Tim Duncan(notes), and could be part of a future frontline with former first-round pick Tiago Splitter(notes) and rookie DeJuan Blair(notes).
The Spurs are shopping Roger Mason(notes), who is in the final season of his contract, with the help of Mason’s agent. In addition to Mason, they have a number of other expiring contracts – Michael Finley(notes), Matt Bonner(notes), Ian Mahinmi(notes) among them – to possibly offer the Bulls.
The Denver Nuggets could be a match for McDyess, who played six seasons there. Nevertheless, it’s less likely the Spurs would want to do that deal with another Western Conference contender. The Bulls have been shopping Thomas, and are trying to get expiring contracts and a good first-round pick for him.
New York still has interest in a deal for Thomas that would include Al Harrington(notes), but doesn’t have a 2010 first-round pick to give them. And one of the Knicks future first-round picks could be on its way to Houston in the deal they’re discussing for Tracy McGrady(notes) and his expiring contract.
The Spurs are 30-21 and are tied for fifth place in the Western Conference. They traded for Richard Jefferson(notes), who they also have tried to trade, and signed McDyess last summer to increase their payroll to about $80 million in hopes of chasing their fifth championship.

The Spurs should go after Gortat (just my two cents). I think he's more of an answer than Thomas.
best thing i have read all day
ESPN has a new page that is supposed to collect all of their rumors and news:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/s...lkRoundup-2010
Also double the price..no thanks
Good looking out, objective.
I don't see why dyess has to be sacrificed for this half brained twit Thomas....
It will be interesting to see if anyone who has been mentioned in all these trade speculations sits out during tonights games.
Come on. You don't have to like it to know why they'd do it.

If Drew Gooden is bought out by Washington would you want to sign him?
I would do that. Another 1st round pick would be great for the Spurs future, plus you get another guy with an expiring contract for next year.
no way, plus I think he would return to the mavericks before he would return to the Spurs.
yeah but no spurs game tonight
I was talking about players from other teams that have been talked about in this thread. Tomorrow night will be more than interesting.
Does Sacramento play tonight?
Maybe their announcer will have more scoops!
Oh how far this thread has come.Does Sacramento play tonight?
Maybe their announcer will have more scoops!
Lol the next move for this thread should be to make it the trade deadline BLOG for all of tommorow until the deadline ends.
