You can when they are the present and future of your franchise.
Depends on if they trade Bonner and Finley, but I think they'll evaluate the abilities of the rookies and the results will dictate what they will target with a trade. but who knows

Duncan is not likely to be the present of the franchise in 2012 and worth $21 million. Oh well, at least we don't have another 2-3 years of paying him $20 million after that, like Shaq keeps getting. Will be interesting to see how much longer Shaq sticks around, and for what kind of pay. Veteran's min for Shaq anyone?
TP won't get 20 million. The only reason Duncan can get it is that his contract is an extension of one under the previous CBA. Also, TP's contract won't be under the current CBA, rather there will be a new CBA negotiated by then. Manu's expiring (after this season) will likely be the last major contract the Spurs negotiate under the current CBA.
NO!!!!! time too let Bowen GO........... RIP BOWEN..... You dont have to go home but you cant stay here!!!
Anyone know whats up with the Ime Udoka drama is he on his way or or stayin put...
Lucky for us, that may enable a long and bright future for TP with the Spurs!
The league does need to lower the max salary, there is too much disparity, IMO. The rich are getting too rich at the expense of some other solid team players without the big name recognition. Then you have those contracts like Finley's, where the player ends up being worth 50% or less the last couple of years of the deal. I think the league has already put in some kind of "over 35" rule to prevent that from happening much in the future.
What if!! and this is a big What if, there was a trade that would involve Bonner, Finley and Ime Udoka for Tmac would anyone do this trade.
Dont crucify me just thinking of ways for us to get TMAC here....
Problem is TMac made $20 million last I checked. Salaries would then be too far off to even consider. No brainer other than that little detail that is a deal breaker.
what about stackhouse
Could be an ironic move by the Spurs? Get Stack on the cheap, trade Fin and Bonner...Who knows this summer is full of surprises
Grizzlies waived Stackhouse.

I guess that means the Lakers will sign him for the minimum...
These days Jerry Stackhouse is nothing more than Michael Finley with a worse 3 point stroke and a bad at ude.
mase can shoot from inside the arc...what he is not good at is driving to the hoop
I really don't get the Mason hate that goes on here. He's a shooter. If he were a shooter, a slasher, a point guard, a defender and whatever else people are ing about him not being he wouldn't be here. He'd be off somewhere else making $10 mil a year. Yes, he had an awful playoff series against Dallas. But for crying out loud, who in the NBA was under more pressure than he was last postseason? He comes here to be a role player and then all of a sudden he finds all of the Spurs playoff hopes depending on him being able to become Manu Ginobili. He wasn't up to the task of becoming Manu and now people hate him for it. That's pretty unfair.
/end rant
Agree: Mason will be much better this year in his proper role.
He was asked to do too much last year, and he did a pretty admirable throughout the season.
I'd love to have Nocioni. He's such a great player. He's being wasted in bad taems.
Yep, Noc would be great on the bench.
Pop and RC had at one time deeply coveted John Salmons as the long athletic 2/3 who is prolific scorer averaging 18.3 pts last year, but just as importantly he is well known as a more then capable defensive player not your Kobe stopper but then again there aren't many of those.
His salary is 5.1 mill per year but what may make this unworkable is that he has a 15% trade clause that would cost the acquiring team $2mill as a bonus for Salmons.
Back in Feb, the Spurs were offering Bruce and Udoka to the Kings before Chicago snatched him.
I don't know if a trade for him now would be feasible with the usual cast of characters mentioned in this thread, but if not would getting Nocioni be feasible? That would complete an awesome off season for the Spurs.
He'll stay in Chicago especially after losing Ben Gordon.
You have to be kidding. You give up 2 Bigs a 1st round pick and Finley for 1 player ? Give the Clippers a call. They could always use another GM.
That's how glad I'd be to be to get a perimeter defender for the likes of Kobe, Pierce, Lebron, etc.
Remember, the Spurs are in win now mode.
And Splitter might never come over, or come over and be terrible.
I'd offer Finley+Bonner and maybe a 2nd round pick and i'd throw in some cash for Battier. Houston is in full rebuild mode and would take the 7 million extra in cap space next season. You don't give 2 first rounders away for shane battier.
