Kurt Thomas for the #25?
An excerpt from yesterday's NBA Draft Round-Up at DX:
Let the speculation begin.A number of teams are already reportedly sending out feelers indicating that they would like to acquire a pick in the late first round—including the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Toronto Raptors. A few teams that are rumored to be looking to trade or sell their picks are the Oklahoma City Thunder (#25), Minnesota Timberwolves (#28) and New Orleans Hornets (#21).
Kurt Thomas for the #25?
What do we have that could be traded for picks?
Yes, the Spurs have always shown a great desire for late 1st round picks.
If this is true, I like the sense of urgency. Wonder who they are targeting?

Expiring contracts, cash considerations, rights to players (Splitter, Javtokas, etc.)
If this is true, I think it centers around Casspi.
oberta for a first round pick
Priceless.
Used it last year, didn't we? And the year before.
And we often used it well. We've drafted Parker, Beno(not bad), Splitter(If he comes), and Hill and Ian need to prove themselves the next season.
A few teams would be willing to deal their 1st round pick this year to get one next year to try to have more 2010 cap space.
As long as Presti is running the show in OKC anytime they are looking to do anything people will assume some level of Spurs interest.
OKC would want future picks or draft rights to a player and cash.
Hornets would want a trade exception to take off salary from their roster and cash.
TWolves might want the same as the Hornets.
so now we are in desperation mode to try to get young players, while we had 2-3 earlier in the year that we simply waived in favor of keeping useless players around. spurs organization has shot themselves in the foot with their stupid ass decisions lately.
bruce or oberto and one of our second round picks
Yeah a 1st round pick so that Pop will let him on the bench !
Not if it's someone they have confidence in that has already played at a high level. Say like, Euroleague?
good one
This draft isn't worth trading up in..unless it's the top 5. This draft year is horrible.
Youth does not always imply usefulness. Other than Hairston, who else am I supposed to be mourning?
us trading for pick 25 would be beyond hilarious.
Maybe they're looking at Casspi? Who knows though, it's impossible to say with the Spurs.
Matt Bonner.
If some team would be re ed enough to take him.
A 2010 pick will still count against the 2010 cap.
