Ludden: Brent Barry almost dealt for JR Smith

[nkdlunch]

Bingo pop is a coach not a miracle worker. Lol at the ppl on this thread thinking jr on the spurs would have been a good idea

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

I wonder if this deal was completed..

[BatManu20]

Terrible bump.

[Chris]

Why bump this thread

[DJR210]

Thread and players have no relevance

[Uriel]

Why the can't Jeff MxDonald write articles like this? The only true insider left in the SA Express-Bews is Buck Harvey, and he only occasionally writes columns. McDonald, on the other hand, might as well be writing for the Associated Press.

What a strange move to pull. JR Smith was a punk by then. Strange coming from Pop.

I disagree. He was 20, and hadn't yet come under the influence of Melo. He only had one year left on his rookie deal, with a year 4 option that would have been at the Spurs disgression. It was very low risk, very high reward.

First learn to spell. But yes i think J.R. Smith sure had the talent to become an All Star. BUT, your " " is probably the dumbest NBA player to ever step on the court. And that's keeping it real.

[lefty]

Damn. That would have been sweet.

Well one day again eventually the Spurs will have an athletic, young athlete who can jump and dunk

If the spurs wanted this bad enough they wouldn't have waited to the last minutes to do it.

The spurs are not agressive at trading in general. So many big named players have switched teams the last 5 years through trades and (some were dumped for almost nothing in return) the spurs have not gotten anyone much better than a role player here or there.

They do not make improvements thru trades.

LOL rascal was still a got back then too
