If there is a trade, it could very well be a very small one like Mahinmi for a 3rd string PG and a 3rd string PF.

^^^ why do it then?
TJ Ford is on the trade block.
Get Ford for backup pg move Hill to Manu's minutes at the 2, trade manu for a big in another deal.
Bonner for Omri Casspi
Anybody think we might be doing a one for two trade, if this rumor has any merit? Like one of our high dollar players (Manu, Tony, or RJ). Otherwise, why'd we free up that 15th spot by waiving Haslip? Because he could've been used for trade fodder at some point.
TJ Ford is horrible.
You've basically liked Manu since . . . never
If there is a trade, it could very will be one of many options.
why do so many people think a trade for a PG doesn't make sense?
in fact this is the trade that makes as much sense as any move.
(I don't say a trade for a defensive big isn't a need either)
what's the situation?
our starting PG suffers from plantar fasciitis, also suffers from fatigue because of to much summer play and he just suffers from his 2nd minor injury this season.
if Pop wants to have him at least almost 100% for the PO, he must handle his minutes in the remaining 36 games very very carefully. but he also needs to take care for the regular season record, because Spurs are far from a sure fire PO team this year, with this super tough 2nd half schedule.
and as we know, all options for the PG spot outside Tony are far from a great solution.
bottom line:
considering the current situation, a quality PG, good enough to start some games and good enough to play a lot of back up minutes might have an even bigger effect for the Spurs PO hopes, than a big man.
and yes, I know either Hill, Manu or Mason could be used at PG, but we all know that either player is better used in a different role.
considering that Hill plays a lot of SG minutes and can defend most SGs, to trade Mason for this PG seems to make the most sense. so, whoever this player is, he would need to be at least a decent 3pt shooter.
someone mentioned Pargo. if he hadn't been that bad and inconsistent with his shot this year, he might really be a nice option and we know the Spurs already wanted him 2008.
of course it's also not easy for him to get some minutes behind Rose and Hinrich. maybe some more constant PT would get him back on track?
however, also the options for a "forward" from the Bulls look like a realistic possibility. maybe they rank Salmons as a forward, in this case it could be him. Spurs wanted him at last deadline, so there is a point for him.
and TT would cover the need for an athletic PF, who could defend the more mobile PFs and tweener very well. of course he doesn't look like Spurs material on first sight.
Pargo plus Salmons for Mason+Fin+Ian works.
Pargo plus TT for Mason+Fin or Bonner also works. (1st rounder as teaser?)
so or so, quite some options for medium size trades there. and sounds more like a typical Spurs move, than a midseason blockbuster would.
Congrats on the win against Charlotte last night!
I'm surprised no other news outlet picked up on this yet... unless the deal fell off...
I could live with Tyler Hansbrough and Earl Watson for Mase and Ian. Bit of lateral move for Indy (assuming they can resolve their TJ Ford issue), but they save some money next season and open up 2 slots.
So it must be a deal with the Kings right? Why would a kings announcer know of a deal between two different franchises?
The Spurs scouted Casspi a lot in the years before the draft and he was supposed to be high on their draft list, but I think he was taken before the Spurs picked.
He's still very young although he's been playing pro for several years.
I don't know it the Bonner/Casspi trade straight up would be appealing to the Kings.
Pretty sure he was kidding. No way does Sac trade away part of their burgeoning core for a specialty player like Bonner.
personally i dont see any likelihood the Spurs could get Kevin Martin except whom no other King roster acquirable may bring instant help to the Spurs, given that Evans is indispensable for the kings.
Kevin Martin? Urgh no thanks. Spencer Hawes seems pretty good, he can block shots and score at the rim. Don't want back either.
did you see Casspi play?
he is top five in most rookie rankings.
Kings wouldn't even consider a Hill or Blair offer. they meanwhile see Casspi as a huge steal and cornerstone of their future and they have reasons to do so.
Bonner for Casspi is absurd.
I'd rather have Bonner, Mason, Jefferson and McDyess
Casspi is great, but no way the kings would trade him now, especially not for Bonner.
unless a trade involves moving Manu, it ain't going to help this team.
and LOL @ Manu "haters" being called Laker fans, when it is the CoM that would actually become a fan of the Lakers or any other team if they acquired Manu.
Moving Bonner would help...
Extremely sig-worthy for the lols.unless a trade involves moving Manu, it ain't going to help this team.

I was at the Mavs game an they didn't play the white guy much (The center). The Spurs gonna get Batum an Blake from Portland for Mason,Bonner,an Ian. The Spurs was waiting for Batum to come from his injury. That would make me very happy. I seen him covering Dirk an he was like Bruce with length.
