Haywood I think is a very available option and it would definitely improve the Spurs if they only had to give up a combination of Bonner/Finley/Mason. He is a great defensive presence and a good rebounder, something we're lacking.

This article basically puts mason, bonner and fin on the block.I do believe since mason has seen limited minutes he is on his way out.he has value around the league.I hope the spurs use this trade wisely to try to get a a bigman in the paint.Also i dont think we need bonner anyore.we were fine without him.Fin hasnt played and the team doesnt seem to be missing anything.Maybe all 3 will get traded for a a legit big man like camby.Haywood so a good rebounder and blocker but his D in the paint is average.camby or beidrens would be alot better.the spurs also have splitters rights and Mahimi to include.

i agree with trying to trade mase for a big. hopefully we can maybe package something like a mase,ian, for haywood or mase,fin,ian for someone.
IMO, I feel that bonner is still a player that can do good here having spot minutes off the bench. The way he stretches the floor really makes it easier on a lot of our guys (which is the reason his +/- is so high at times) that being said i have no desire seeing him in the starting lineup again.
Raja bel is available and the spurs wanted to trade for hima while back.remember we got bruce when he was over 30 and only then he started beasting.I think bell would be an upgrade over bogans.if the team can trade fin and bogans, mahimi for bell i would do it.I dont wanna see mason go though.
Why would Washington trade one expiring contract for three throwaway expirings?
is bell playing right now, or is he still hurt.
is bell still injured? haywood would add size but there are problems on the perimeter as well. bogans or hill starting probably won't cut it.
The OP is a horrible defensive evaluator..
His thread about the Spurs D in the other thread is full of inaccurate evaluations, and he follows it very well in this thread..
Haywood is one of the best 1 on 1 post defenders in the NBA, he has been for a few years, his size allows him to bang in the post with legit Cs while still having the length to go along with it..so you said he isn't good, and then you said CAMBY AND BIEDRINS are good?! LOL..2 guys that are criticized for their post D due to their small size and weak positioning in the defensive post, and they're both liabilities at defending the p&r as well..
bell started working out and should be back march 1st.dont know if the spurs will go for him if he wont start till then.maybe we can get him without losing much.

Raja Bell isn't an answer on the perimeter..he looked poor defensively to end last year and he didn't look good earlier this year..
I agree that we need help to defend the perimeter, but Raja Bell isn't the answer..
loool.Haywod is an average defender no more.where do you get he is one of the best 1 on 1 defenders? he is better than any other big we have but he average.Camby IMO is better and so is biedrens when healthy.The only reason people like you think he is not as good is because the warriors play small ball and he has to help alot like tim.
What else have I said that is wrong?that parker sucks on D?every1 is en led to his opinion.
if bell was healthy he wouldnt be a bad option. hes def an upgrade over what we have now.
haywood would def be a man that could help anchor the paint, especially when tim gets his breaks. i just dont know why the wizards would trade an expiring contract for other expirings.
Camby is a better off the ball defender, weakside defender no doubt. haywood is stronger and bigger which would help against guys like gasol bynum ect.
Camby's been such an overrated defender for years. People love the blocked shot statistic....
our perimeter is fine...what we need is either a defensive big (we have 3 already but stubborn Pop only plays one) or a true playmaking pg
Some people don't know how to evaluate .
Our perimeter D is very weak.we can stop anyone then tim has to help which leave the paint wide open. i think ratliff can still play but pop doesnt want him in the game.Mahimi can block shots but I guess he hasnt shown promise in practice.
#1 I see that Mason didn't really get anytime last game. Him or Ian so I think they just mite be on the trading block. But I don't like to get my hopes up. I check on here hoping I see that a trade has been made but all I ever read is trade speculation. I wish you'll would chill with the wishful thinking an just post what you know for sure.
The only reason why I would even speculate any trades is when there are rumors popping out. It is not like I am just throwing names out there. Guys like Iggy, Dalembert, Haywood are surrounded by trade rumors, that is for sure.
the main problem though is there being NO ONE but tim to defend the rim... we've been getting slaughtered in the paint which is unacceptable. you can live with a loss if guys are just hitting all their outside shots; but letting guys run layup drills on you all night long will translate to zero wins.
Our perimeter D can improve, but it's not as abysmal as you think it is, IMO. The thing is, you won't see perimeter D like 3 or more years ago simply because the rules have been made so it's pretty difficult to prevent penetration from the perimeter. That's why size is so coveted. At this point, you have to meet people at the rim. Tim has always been pretty exceptional at that, but he's not what he used to be and he's been needing help since Horry declined, pretty much. You look at top defensive teams out there and you're lookig at a good tandem of bigs, like Gasol/Bynum or Garnett/Perkins...
Obviously, these bigs need to be able to play offense too, because you won't be taking advantage of the perimeter rules with them...
exactly.
I wish Shane Battier was available...
Our perimeter is fine? Who is playing D out there sides Hill? The rest just get blown by out there and get to the rack
Big man that will play please
