Official Trade Deadline Speculation Thread

Can we trade Jefferson& Finely for Peja

**Blackjack** · 02-10-2010

I'm pretty sure we can't trade our 2010 first rounder because we already traded away our 2009 first rounder; you can't trade consecutive 1st round picks.

The "Ted Stepien Rule":

Teams are restricted from trading away future first round draft picks in consecutive years.

The Stepien rule applies only to future first round picks. For example, if this is the 2005-06 season, then a team can trade its 2006 first round pick without regard to whether they had traded their 2005 pick, since their 2005 pick is no longer a future pick. But they can't trade away both their 2006 and 2007 picks, since both are future picks. Teams sometimes work around this rule by trading first round picks in alternate years.

Looks doable to me...

guess i was wrong about the picks.

**DPG21920** · 02-10-2010

Do any of you honestly see the Spurs making a deal like the ones being discussed? I see them just trying to play the year out as is and evaluate things in the off season.

**Juanobili** · 02-10-2010

The sad truth is RJ is here to stay. No team wants him and his contract.

**HarlemHeat37** · 02-10-2010

I don't really care anymore about a deal TBH..I'm just waiting until the Summer, with RJ's expiring contract and Splitter potentially joining the team, we have upside..

I would still like to see a deal for Thomas, but I won't be upset it nothing happens..

**Blackjack** · 02-10-2010

When do the Spurs ever make a deal we discuss?

This is for entertainment purposes (and the ability to tell the Spurs' front office what kind of morons they were for not heeding our "expert" advice to save their "franchise"; okay, so quotes on the franchise was uncalled for and, really. . . didn't make much sense. It felt right at the time?

).

**DPG21920** · 02-10-2010

I just meant in general. Not necessarily an actual trade we have discussed, but one with similar logic (or not). March on.

**5in10** · 02-10-2010

It would be so funny to see the spurs pull one of the outlandish trades discussed here.

Not that it matters who it came from. But a lot of us can come up with scenario's that I guarantee Spurs FO is interested in.

**Blackjack** · 02-10-2010

I think a move will be made, actually.

To the extent of which, I'm not quite certain. But the words of Pop and the general malaise that's set over this team, leads me to believe they'll look for something, even if to just get a little fresh air into the locker room; they could just move RJ's home, with him in it, to a very clandestine locale...

Ya know, I thought of you and the RJ trade the minute I posted that.

I wasn't trying to point that out. My point is there is a lot of knowledgeable posters like yourself, that come up with realistic proposals that the Spurs and their trading partner(s) would really consider.

At the same time, there's proposals from some posters that don't make any sense.

Anything can happen and most likely will at the deadline as teams try to milk every ounce of value in the offers they receive til the last day.

Nah, I got you, man.

I just remembered giving credit to Bruno for the RJ proposal and thinking the response it garnered from you was some kind of joke; I failed to view the OP (you'll see if you read the thread...)

My mind's a steel trap, son.

**lefty** · 02-10-2010

Pop walked in the Spurs locker room

"We are not going to make any trade before the deadline; the savior is in this room "

Then everybody laughed

**MaNu4Tres** · 02-10-2010

I really think standing pat would be the absolute worst decision this front office can make.

There's several proposals that make sense that would upgrade the quality of our roster 8-10.

If we don't make a move to upgrade the quality of our players 8-10, then the Spurs should just rebuild and put Manu, McDyess, Mason, Bonner on the market to contenders and see if we can get picks and young prospects in return.imo Then next year do the same with Jefferson and possibly Parker.

For some odd reason, I have a feeling Houston will outbid Spurs for Manu if we were to stand pat. Leaving us with less assets to rebuild off of. ( It's Manu's last lucrative contract, money will matter. Just about half the league will be under the cap and only a handful of max first-tier free agents. Money will be there for Manu.)

**ElNono** · 02-10-2010

Do not underestimate the FO.

This is a FO/coaching staff that believe that Michael Finley not only has something left in the tank, he has enough to give us 15 mins a game over guys like Mason/Hairston/Ian...

haha so he's the genius that brought in rj?!

**RodNIc91** · 02-10-2010

Timvp:

How do you know randolph has the potential you are saying? What is his game like I havent seen much of him even before the injury

**ChumpDumper** · 02-10-2010

So it's been a week since this started.

Looks like we were not really close to a deal.

**HarlemHeat37** · 02-10-2010

I guess Sacramento's announcer was playing with our emotions..

**MaNu4Tres** · 02-10-2010

I guess we all just wasted a lot of our valuable time...

**HarlemHeat37** · 02-10-2010

True..instead of discussing a trade in this thread, we could have had more traffic in one of the other threads!..

**Blackjack** · 02-10-2010

Yeah, this thread's lame.

I suggest we start another one where we can discuss it's lameness and morph into more trade speculation; or maybe we should start two separate threads for that?

I think I'll start a thread with a poll to find out which way to go...
