Id love to have Diop. His length and strentgh give Bynum problems big time. id give up Mahinmi and Udoka for him. Not sure though if MJ wants to do it that way.....
I've seen this "Diop" idea thrown around. I think he has the size, length, and defense to make a big impact down low. What are we willing to give up? What would it take to get him?

Diop would fit perfectly on the Spurs system. But the problem is that he also fits perfect on Larry Brown's system so there is no way the Bobcats will give him
I don't think Diop is available to be traded until mid-March (since he was just traded) - which would mean that if we traded for him then, he wouldn't be able to play for us in the playoffs. Obviously, if that is the case we wouldn't be interested in trading for him this season.
Please feel free to correct me if this information is incorrect. Thanks.
Diop is due ~$27 million over the next four years.
Pass.
That's correct. Any player involved in a trade, cannot be traded again for 60 days.
Next best, realistic option out there (assuming RC realizes that we have a problem with the frontcourt)??????
Wilcox???
I haven't done my hw like some on here, but IIRC he is on the Warriors. He might be lax on D there, but Pop would trim him into shape.
And all the Spurs have to offer is Fab/KT/Vaughn/Ime/Bonner, which won't get much, except maybe Bonner. Damn, I hope Wilcox is actually on the Warriorsl, cuz a shooting big would do wonders for them!!!
EDIT: My bad, he is on OKC, hope they would like some expiring contracts. Where is Isiah when you need him?
Samuel Dalembert ht - 6-11 / age - 28 YOUNG ATHLETIC center
5.8 pts / 8.4 rbs / 1.7 blks
Andris Biedrins ht - 6-11 / age - 22 YOUNG ATHLETIC center
13.5 pts / 12.1 rbs / 1.7 blks / 1.2 stls
Chris Andersen ht - 6-10 / young 30 / ATHLETIC center
5.8 pts / 5.5 rbs / 2.0 blks in 19 mins a game
Those are the kind of players needed in the spurs frontcourt. Timmy wont have to block every shot or get every rebound. When timmy goes to the bench, you wont have opposing players getting layups/dunks or big men ( Oberto, Thomas, Bonner ) trying to take charges instead of blocking shots and putting the fear of god into little guys, like when #50 or Rasho nesterovic.
God, there's no hope if these are what's left. Its gonna take any of these guys a while to catch on to anything we in SA.
Dalembert for Oberto, Udoka, Vaughn, any kind of package like that.
Can you imagine a lineup of
PG- Parker
SG- Mason
SF- Finley
PF- Duncan
C- Dalembert
and off the bench
PG- Hill
SG- Ginobili
SF- Bowen
PF- Bonner
C- Thomas
Thing is, how long before Dalembert cracks Pop's lineup. He doesn't strike me as having a great basketball IQ. I could be wrong though. Haven't seen a whole lot of him lately.
All im sayin is we need a young athletic big man. you notice that other teams are getting layups. theres 2 reasons for that. 1 - obviously no big man, when duncan takes one step out the paint, its open game for any little guy to run in there untouched. 2 - pop obviously realizes reason 1 so he puts guys like 6-5 udoka as a power forward to stop penetration. but then udoka gets posted up and tim comes over and then were back to reason 1 arent we?
No, you're right. The options just ain't that great.
What's the deal with Marcus Camby? Not exactly my favorite but a nice upgrade still.
now your talkin, totally forgot about him. perfect fit. probably wants to get out of LA really bad right now. can you think of any deals?
I have no idea how much money he makes. I think he has a pretty big contract. Anyone can help out there?
Attention...all of you are needed at this thread to prepare for your exit. Thank you for your cooperation.
It's amazing how many ways our fans can try to think of to make worthless assets:
(Udoka Vaughn Finley Bonner Oberto Ian Tiago)
into something valuable:
(Diop Dalembert Biedrins Brand Wallace Kaman etc etc).
The real question should be:
Which one of our marquee players would you part with to make a big man happen in SA?
Manu, Tony, Hill, Mason, Bowen
That is what it would take.
It depends on who the big is now....bottom line is, we cannot win the West without acquriting a long athletic center. I'm not sure I can say we cannot win the West without (hill, mason, bowen) although i love these guys.
How serious are we about winning this year?
Ike Diogu.
Our last, best hope for a new big man who won't be able to learn the system or contribute in time for the playoffs.
Some Camby conversation here:

As serious as always.
Do we have the pieces to make a meaningful trade? No. Are there any FAs that can help us? Yet to find one.
Prepare yourself for Pop's "going with what we've got" speech, 'cause it's a comin'...
SOUTHSIDE SPURS FAN is right. we have valuable assets on our team but we have to give them up to get something good.
tony, manu, bowen, mason , hill those are the guys we have to get rid of to get something of equal or greater value.
