I bet Holt feels the same way, I mean since the last big contract he took on in a trade did so well.
Then again, maybe he's okay with getting rid of the 2 big offseason acquisitions that haven't amounted to but a hole in his pocket.
Where are the it's only January people? notice they havent shown up in a while. some of them keep claiming the spurs will pick it up the next game, but the spurs end up losing. no more excuses.

Bring the towers back. Bosh for any/everybody with the exception of TD & G Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd offer 76ers Jefferson Bonner Mason 1st rounder and Splitter for Dalembert and Iggy right now.
Well its a trade I would agree to, certainly.
If it would work out or not is still anybody's guess...just don't know about this team anymore.
Luv my Spurs all all my Spurs fans, but honestly we've been in this situation several times only to be let down @ the end of Feb. Pop WILL NOT make any changes or trades. Sad but true! I've never seen a coach get overly content w/ playing his pet scrubs...
Your overrating Iggy and at the same time Brand has perhaps the worst trade value in the league. If 76ers were to trade Brand and Iggy to the Spurs for what you suggest, Spurs would demand a first round pick and probably another from them as well due to Brand's contract.
I don't see Brand being wanted by anyone even if Iggy is included.
This is not going to happen. It really makes no sense for the Spurs and I am sure the 76ers could get more young talent.
How about Amare for RJ and bonner?
Sign me to a 10 day contract! I want to sit on the bench too!
Which trade would you do?
With Philly:

With Clips:

Clips by a mile. Philly deal will never happen. I have been saying they should go after kaman all along now.
No to the Philly deal, simply because I wouldn't trade Manu for anybody. He deserves to finish his career a spur.
Yes to the Kaman trade, but he wouldn't get under Pop's pre-game limbo.
But neither Philly or LA are doing either of those.
Wolves trade?

Minnesota would reject that.
Oh, concerning that Bass for Bonner trade idea, I bet SVG would go for it if the spurs added their 2011 1st round pick. The magic need to draft a few young poing guards to refresh the stable and adding that pick just might get it done.
At this point, its a gamble whether that pick would be useful, and I'm betting it certainly
(98% chance) wouldn't net a player better than Bass. So why not use it.
What does Bass do that Blair doesn't?
Glad you asked.
At first glance they may appear similar but if you really look deeper they are totally different players Blair is a wide body with little athleticism who relies on great timing and long arms to corral rebounds. He has a weak lower base (probably due to not having ACL's) which makes it hard for him to guard stronger players. And he can't guard taller players either. He's pretty much a defensive liability out there.
Bass otoh.
1. Has 5 years of NBA experience playing at a high level. Mavs surely wouldn't have let him go had they realized they weren't getting Gortat. People forget that.
2. Can shoot free throws at +80%, has a GREAT midrange J as well.... Blair doesn't have a perimeter shot to speak of, and his free throw shooting is atrocious.
3. Can finish around the rim with authority. 90% of the time anything he catches in the paint will be dunked with authority. None of this tap-miss-tap-miss-tap-miss .
4. Has tree trunks for legs, and isn't moved very easily. Where Blair relies on weight, Bass uses muscle AND weight. This makes his post defense much better.
Has a couple inches of height over Dejuan which defenitely makes a difference too.
Pretty much all of Blair's weaknesses right now are Bass' strengths. The spurs need a starting quality big man and Bass could be that man.
Anything that involves trading TP is not a solution.
Here you guys go, I think you'll like this one:

point guard- Tony, Hill
shooting guard-Manu, Sam Young, bogans
small forward- RJ, Finley
power forward -Tim, Blair
center-Haywood, Theo, Thabeet
I would do this trade in a heartbeat.
what do y'all think?
