Official: Spurs Trade Williams for Ely

[leemajors]

i reckon we couldve got a sweeter deal with the bobcats

maybe acquired okafor or felton or wallace for our n bench

and how do you figure that?

Thats what I was thinking. The spurs can move one of their bigs for a backup pg now. Arroyo would be nice or take a chance with Telfair.

Telfair would be considered more of a project than Beno I think, and it would be a big pill to swallow if Telfair is traded for less than another decent young prospect or a proven veteran. I know his trade value isn't that high, but Ainge traded away the #7 pick to get him, so he'll probably be jonesing for alot more than Oberto/Elson. Butler maybe?

Butler + pick for Telfair

I think the chances of landing Arroyo diminshed greatly when the Spurs traded Williams (Magic looking for more cap space to go after big FA this summer). I do like the chances of the Spurs snagging a guy like Diener....

Diener for White?

telfairs game is like marbury, no thanks

dude was so overhyped with the shoe deal even b4 he got drafted into the nba

i dont want him anywhere near this spurs team...if he didnt do well in portland, even in boston, i prefer to take rondo or west over him.

West is their starting PG, has the versatility to play SG, and is the heart and soul of Boston's young players (no it's not Jefferson). The only way West is moved is if it's for a bigger fish.

Agree that Telfair is overhyped, but his game to me is as raw as Tony's was when he came into the league. He has good speed, bulk, vision, and most importantly the time to grow (still only 21). He has sorely lacked the mentoring needed for him to take the next step as he has been on largely youth-run teams (case-in-point, he has been anointed the starter at each stop without earning it first).

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's a perfect fit and the answer for backup PG but I think SA would provide the humbling experience he needs (small market with no guaranteed minutes on a veteran team).

Again, that's assuming he's available for a reasonable price...which is highly unlikely as Danny Ainge surrendured a top 10 pick for him less than 12 months ago (pride will get in his way).
