Would have been nice to trade for Ronnie Brewer, assuming he could have been had with just a draft pick. He's a solid, young, swingman who gets lots of steals. Memphis has it pretty good with Brewer and Sam Young, if Rudy Gay decides to leave.
This thread has clearly devolved into a pissing match between Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber. It started out full of FAIL to begin with . . . Lock it up!

yeah if it only took a draft pick to take Brewer I would have gone for him, even if it was for a draft pick and mason. He is on my fantasy team and puts up good numbers in both rebounds, steals, blocks.
Would have been a good defensive player to put in the starting lineup, he was the starting SG for the Jazz, would have provided good length on the perimeter.
I think that is one of the main problems for the Spurs, they don't have enough speed, length, defense on the perimeter to keep players out of the paint. Reason I wanted Salmons because he is a decent defender on the perimeter.
It took a draft pick and the Memphis TE that saves the Jazz money to get Brewer, We couldn't have gotten him unless Memphis wanted Mason for Arthur/Carroll, Then we traded that TE and a pick to Utah to get him. I'd rather keep the pick.
I'da sent a usual Spurs-level draft pick for him. Far better than Bogans, definitely.
Spurs FO is boring.
I have said all along, a move did not seem likely. Nothing added up to making a move. I just hope the FO has not given up on trying to help Duncan get another ring. They know they can't do it as is, but without making a move, what does that tell Duncan? What is their plan for his last 2 years. Sucks, because he and Manu are just one year older.
Why re-sign Manu as well? If the Spurs are not contenders, no use in having him.
Anybody figure out who was the team making a last minute push to pick up Amare??? Chad Ford announced it on twitter, but the team was never revealed..
a lot of deals have been on the table the Spurs likely could have pulled to improve this team if they wanted. this years trade market was bigger than ever, asking prices were lower than ever. what hurts IMO: some pretty young players with great potential were on the market for an obviously resonable asking price. (TT, Brewer, D. Wright, Warrick, Alexander, Augustine, McGuire)
at least they could have done something for the future. f*ck RC!
It really is puzzling..I have no idea what they're thinking right now..
A lot of good players were moved the last few days and the spurs again could not do anything to improve the team.
Monroe is a liar!
Mcdonald doesn't know !
CIA Pop is lying, their up to something!
The fact of the matter was spurs fans just didn't want to hear the god awful truth!
The truth about what exactly?..we were obviously hopeful for a trade, it only made sense with the expiring contracts and cheap assets that were being dangled by other teams..
I know what you mean, but obviously it's better to be hopeful when it comes to something like this..the FO is ass right now..
I am a little curious what we could've offered Chicago that is worse than Acie Law and Flip Murray . . .
They're thinking they made their investments in the offseason. That was their trade deadline deal. It was a plan that blew up in their face. This season has sucked the wind out of the Spurs sails. Maybe if they were one player away, you would of seen a move, but cleary, they need more than a defensive big to fill the paint. Their going to wing it the remainder of the season and pray Jefferson comes into his own, Blair matures at light speed and Mcdyess has a strong second half. But, without a miraculous turnaround, don't expect another trip into luxury tax anytime soon.
Like mountainballer said though, it didn't have to be a move that made the Spurs into contenders..most of us knew that the Spurs weren't going to be contenders, it was obvious well before the deadline..there were plenty of young/interesting players that were acquired for almost nothing or that were apparently on the table for nothing..
Obviously I realize that the FO probably felt like there's no point of acquiring a player like that, but that ties into the whole mentality of this current Spurs franchise that seems to have very little willingness to try to develop any young talent..
Told you the Spurs reached menopause.
What young players were had for next to nothing? Perhaps i'm missing something but young players were only to be had if we were...
A. Willing to take on a longer term contract.
B. Trade them a draft pick thusly defeating the purpose of acquiring said young player unless you can be reasonably sure this player is better then anything that you will draft.
I'm disappointed as well that the FO wasn't able to get anything done since this year is turning out so lousy but I understand that trades are difficult to make and even more difficult to make work.
ratliff to bobcats awaiting nba approval according to express news...
Nice speculation.
Hope he passes his physical
they didn't want RJ's ty contract
I would like to know the poor souls that the Spurs tried to dump RJ's contract on?
they would have to be rich not poor
I don't think they would want to embarress the spurs...then again we are the laughing stock of nba just behind the nets probably....
