And the hits keep on coming.
I'm not sure that's true. But to read the opinions of some in this forum, one would think they should be desperate.
After all, the talking period is almost over and the Spurs haven't spent any of their MLE!!!!
And the hits keep on coming.
Anyways, things are so bad from the Spurs' perspective that they were willing to take a flier at Mourning, who is 1) old, 2) playing with a new kidney, 3) firmly established in South Florida, and 4) coming off a championship.
It's a remarkably weak free agent market (and even trade market) for centers, even with Ben Wallace and Przybilla available.
In light of that, you could argue, one supposes that the old bird in hand is worth two in the bush theory and second-guess the decisions to jettison last season's flotsom. Still, I think it was pretty clear that Radoslav and Nazr, while nice fellows who could occasionally add a bit to the Spurs' successes, were not well suited to offering much assistance against the sorts of teams the Spurs will have to beat at playoff time -- certainly not at the salaries they were commanding. I think the stronger argument, therefore, is one supporting the idea of trying to find centers who might actually be able to stay on the floor at playoff time while taking down far less salary.
You can't just make quality centers grow on trees.
I generally agree with you. The spurs will do something but don't expect any type of difference maker. They will just plug some weak role player type in and lose again.You wanna keep acting like I am the only one upset with them at the moment????Unless we ing do something, I wont stop on this . From reading all these express articles as well, it seems like we are in a real tough spot and trying to not spend much more but it doesnt deserve any criticizing??? I love this team and I wont stop being a true die hard fan of them but I will diss them when it is needed. How cant I think negative thoughts on the direction of this team with the days passing by and the smoke clearing up?? If we do something (Which believe it or not I actually am still holding out a tad of hope for despite my posts) I will gladly eat crow.
Whoever they get, this place will be excited about it but it will not make any difference in the end. The spurs don't want to make any impact moves to really land a difference maker.
What difference maker could they have gotten? Seriously.
Explore trade options Trade Manu.
several teams contacted pistons about doing a sign and trade
spurs if you believe ice are after kg
I do not think those were strong odds of happening though
their is a rumor he is being offered for kg....
who else would you trade manu for that you think they have a shot at landing?
manu for martin? NOT
manu for ?
I do not like the core of Duncan Parker with manu. Try keeping duncan and Parker but trade Manu. He would be the most tradeable asset on the spurs I would consider.
Manu and cap adjustment for garnett. Do it now. Garnett will be a difference maker and impact player. A core of Duncan, Garnett and parker is better than Duncan Manu and parker. There will be huge matchup problems for opponents with duncan and Garnett on the same team.
I have heard tp is more tradable because he is younger and has a longer career ahead of him
I would think spurs would pull the trigger if wolves would do it with manu only and crap
if you are offered the most from the wolves standpoint do you trade him to a west team that you play 4 times a year and in the playoffs though.......
Of course TP is more tradeable, he is younger and better.
I would also consider parker in a deal for Garnett but the spurs would have to somehow have something in the works to get a reliable pg, of course it would be better to keep Parker.
I would think Parker and manu and additional cap adjustments including other players could be enough to get Garnett.
I don't like trading away Parker but it may have to come to that. Getting a solid pg for the future is easier then trying to get a franchise player with Garnett's ability.
FYI, players cannot simply 'restructure' and take less. The NBA Player's Union would not allow it. If it is time for them to resign, then yes, they can opt for less. However mid-contract, a player cannot simply say, "I'll take less." Contracts are just that, contracts. Same logic applies to teams. A team cannot simply say, "I'm going to pay you less." Works both ways.
I don't know the stats, but of the two I'd go with Francisco Nelson if you want a long center who is very phyical and will alter shots. He's also a bit less of a question mark then Jackie Butler.
I didn't mean adjust contracts. I meant make the necesary throw ins (adjustments) to make the trade work out.
What kind of logic is this? Manu is 29 and can't carry an offense for an 82 game season. Why would he have additional value to other teams (over Parker) that aren't championship calibur and are just trying to add another big piece?
If anything Manu is undervalued. He is an excellent supporting player who doesn't have many excellent years left. This means he has little trading value relative to the excellent supporting play he can contribute to the Spurs for the next 2 years or so.
