Darkwater,
What firepower do you think the Spur's have that the Sun's would be interested in?
Yep,
Watson would be fine but wouldn't represent a dramatic boost.
That'sI dont' see the FO "sacrifying" those $ on that kind of contract considering all they did to save some, the past years.
Darkwater,
What firepower do you think the Spur's have that the Sun's would be interested in?
Guarantee they'd take Barry for Banks in a heartbeat. Same type of money for 3 less years...and he'd actually play. Banks is in the doghouse bigtime...but that might be because he was never really that good, just played over his head for the time he was with the T-Wolves.
This trade worked on realgm;
San Antonio Trade Breakdown

Michael Finley
6-7 SG from Wisconsin
7.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 1.2 apg in 20.9 minutes
Beno Udrih
6-3 PG from Slovenia (Foreign)

Jumaine Jones
6-8 SF from Georgia
2.7 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 0.0 apg in 8.0 minutes
Trade ID: 3608184
Jumaine Jones was one of the SF I wanted the spurs to sign during the offseason, he is a 6'8 SF who shoots the 3 well, rebounds, and plays defense
Not bad....
One thought against....they signed an aged veteran swingman in Jalen Rose and he rides the pine...I'm not sure they'd want Finley or Barry and I'm not sure they're in salary dump mode before the season ends...maybe off-season.
Yes I know I'm reversing course from my Barry statment...had a second to re-think.
^^Glad you came to your senses!![]()
Glad I could bring joy to your day by saying something so funny...I guess
More Kirilenko talk...owner spoke out publicly against him.
What does it take to get him?
Whatever happened to SPEEDY CLAXTON....Wasn't he a FA this past off-season?
I'd kill for a Barry/Bobby Jackson trade. They make about the same this year. Bobby's a dynamic PG...CLUTCH
^^Speedy plays for the Hawks and is constantly injured. You guy's sure are reaching!Someone in another thread mentioned Francis, now Watson and finally Speedy. Oh, also Banks. You don't want Banks, he has no clue on how to run an offense as the Suns have found out. One of the biggest mistakes so far this year for the Suns.

Mr. Chug, I believe Bobby Jackson has cracked ribs if I remember correctly. Don't think he would help much.
For the backup PG spot, Brevin Knight is maybe the best solution among players available for cheap without a bad contract.
If we can bring gelabale in a deal for a sonic, it could be a steal for the long term
BJ got HUGELY overpaid in a long-term deal with the Hornets this off-season, is old, and injury prone. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole.
Whoever mentioned Speedy....he makes like $7M a year and is probably worth $3M
sorry that I have to correct you sir.
just some tips, how you can avoid to be misunderstood:
first: if you refer to someone, don't quote another posters statemant.
(as you did, just go back and check, before discrediting someone else. it is on page 2 of this thread. it wouldn't have taken you much time to do this and for sure less time than you used for abusing me)
well, I would just use the same words for you, since you were the one who obviously mixed up the quotes.
if you had checked, you would have noticed. your behaviour is just laughable and childish.
Another possibility for the backup PG spot is Carlos Arroyo. He is now the 3rd PG in Orlando behind Nelson and Diener. I'm not a big fan of him (too inconsistant) but he has some qualities and his contract isn't bad.
They also have Dooling right? Which one (Dooling, Diener, Arroyo) is best and available?
Not bad,I like the guy,I remember him from the Pistons,where he was doing good,I donīt know how he got to the Magics.
Dooling plays SG for them and AFAIK isn't on the block. Diener isn't a good BB player.
From today newspaper :

If Arroyo continue to be the 3rd string backup PG behing Nelson and Diener, he will be in the trading block.Some of you asked about Carlos Arroyo. I wondered the same thing. One of the Orlando writers told me that Brian Hill has lost all confidence in Arroyo and he's buried in the rotation.
Magic are in the same case than Spurs : they have a talented backup PG (Beno/Arroyo) who is talented but inconsistent as and a solid 3rd stringer who is solid but limited (Vaughn/Diener).
Brian Hill is trying to do the same thing with Arroyo than Pop has done with Beno : puting him in the doghouse for one/few games to try to motivate him.
Let's try a different direction. Not who we'd like to get--but who we need to shop. Does Bowen have any trade potential?
He's old but still guards everyone's top scorer on the perimeter. Can shoot a little in streaks. Not a rebounder. Perrenially one of the top defenders in the league. Not too expensive a contract. Knows his role and isn't a locker room cancer.
Is there a team out there who would take him, figuring they need defensive help for a couple of years? As the lead player packaged with Beno, he'd certainly be a better trade bait than Barry.
Bruce won't be traded because he is way more valuable to Spurs than his market value. forget it.
Ironic that his value to the Spurs is so high if it isn't transferable to another team.
So you're saying we can't begin to get something of equal value for a perrenial all defensive team player.
i don't think the spurs will trade or even try to trade bowen. I'm sure this as something to do with being "fair" with him for what he brought to the spurs. This kind of think have nothing to do with the way a professionnal team should be driven.
