Well, they'd have to waive someone if that deal went trough then. They'd probably make us eat Ewing's contract or something like that.
From what I've read, they still like Korolev. And from seeing him play, they can keep him.
Supposedly the reason they didn't pick up his option was because they think they can sign him for cheaper.

Ewing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Udrih

I'd rather call up Will Conroy or Randy Livingston at this point.

Im with you on Conroy, but the Spurs I don't think trust guys from the NBDL like that.I'd rather call up Will Conroy or Randy Livingston at this point.
Hence the Livingston option. I'd even work out Penny after that trade.
Ive said since that article came out, Id give Penny a workout.
Its the minimum, what would it hurt...
Those guys are pretty good, but kinda Jacque Vaughn clones. I'd prefer a scorer as a backup point ... even if they aren't much a creator.
Like TJ Thompson or Pooh Jeter. And heck, Jeff McInnis wouldn't have been a downgrade.
And speaking of the NBDL, Eddie Robinson is still playing down there. 6-foot-9 small forward who is working the minor leagues to get another shot. Could be worth the call up if the Spurs make any 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 trades.
Doubtfull the Spurs call him up, but it wouldn't hurt.
He IMO is just another James white, just older and a of alot of miles.
I was hoping New Jersey would just buy Jeff out. As for the others, I was putting a premium on taking care of the ball more than anything. Livingston has surprised me with his outside shooting this season.
I'd actually prefer to have Jamar back. ERob didn't play when his team was in Austin, but his rebounding numbers have been awful.And speaking of the NBDL, Eddie Robinson is still playing down there. 6-foot-9 small forward who is working the minor leagues to get another shot.

New article just surfaced nothing new to really report in it except that writers for Houston's Chronical suck.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/4452315.htmlSpurs ready to deal?
The Spurs have been reluctant to go with their annual one big move but could be getting closer to shaking things up after Friday's loss to the Mavericks.
A three-game losing streak is really not cause to panic. But for the Spurs, it's the longest since late in the 2004-05 season, a commentary on how consistent they have been.
The Spurs have been knocked back a bit by the virus that went through the team, and coach Gregg Popovich has backed off the "pathetic" and "worst defensive squad in seven, eight years" descriptions of his team's defense.
On Friday, when the Mavericks completed their first regular-season sweep of games in San Antonio in 11 years, the Spurs' offense fell apart in the second half.
All that could be enough for the Spurs to jump back in the talks for Corey Maggette.
Maggette-Artest deal off
Speaking of Corey Maggette, the Clippers backed away from talks with the Kings when Sacramento kept insisting on more than just Maggette for Ron Artest.
That deal seemed to make sense for both teams and could come back to life if both slide. But Kings guard Mike Bibby has insisted lately that he and Artest are just fine and that talk of a rift was a media fabrication.
The Kings have been better lately, winning four of five before the overtime loss to the Lakers on Thursday.
Looks like the Spurs are really working to get Maggette now.
Great article.
Well overdue.
Make something happen, Maggette or someone else that is out there, I really dont care.
I agree.
Yeah, lets go ahead and add older guys to the squad.
I looked at the stats and just fully realized how bad of a shooting team the Clippers are. I knew they were bad ... but I didn't realize how horrible they were.
They by far have made the fewest three pointers in the league (94). They shoot a horrible percentage (30%). They have one good three-point shooter in Cuttino Mobley and if you take him out, they are shooting closer to 25% from beyond the arc.
Barry alone has hit 52 three-pointers. Bonner is shooting 45.2% from beyond the arc. I can see why these type of players would really interest the Clippers. You can't be a team built around two bigmen and not be able to shoot the ball. They won't make the playoffs unless they get a couple players who can knock down shots.
Barry and Bonner would make a whole lot of sense for them. Hopefully the Spurs can just offer Barry and Beno.
But if the Clippers are going to trade Maggette, their number one need is three-point shooting. And luckily, the Spurs lead the league in three-point percentage and have three-point shooters to spare.
You just copied the same article that's in the original post of this thread??
OMG I just came back to the forum and saw this article and thread. This is awesome. It's the main positive that I thought would come from the bad loss last night. This is hope for the rest of the season right here.
It makes a lot of sense for them. They're also cheap, with Barry's contract one year less than Maggette's, and with Cassell on his last legs, some ball-handling is in order. They're both fairly durable and Barry especially has glowing credentials as a chemistry guy. Udrih is still a young player who can catch on in a new situation.
Meanwhile Clippers fans seem to think they can get Mike Miller.
Call me crazy but I still think Horry has one last huge shot left in his bag of tricks.
I woder how many Moves will Tim Duncan pass just because the spurs won't have any 3 point shooter. (double teams)
