Official Trade Deadline Speculation Thread

[easy7]

I hope I am not being set up for a disappointment

[Ditty]

maybe speedy claxton and raja bell?

[TJastal]

I certainly don't think it will hurt. I don't think it is a major need, but I would not mind it.

Sorry, but I'd rather not give Pop another small ball option to try out and fiddle around with for 10+ games

[blkroadrunners]

Watch it be Jared Jeffries and Nate Robinson.

[Complainer]

kevin martin will be a spur tomorrow.

[HarlemHeat37]

I really don't want any Kings..

[DynastySpurs210]

Duncan saying o to them tonight.

By the look on Timmys face, he knows something we dont

[Ice009]

lol just read on another message board where someone said it's Beno. .

[timtonymanu]

By the look on Timmys face, he knows something we dont

Duncan: see you guys in Portland tomorrow!


yep you heard it here first. Udoka is the back-up PF while Udrih is the back-up PG. Pop wants an undersized player for PF so he just told the Kings' announcers to say the player was a power forward.

Like we need another bench warmer... Here is hoping that you are kidding.

[ElNono]

It's probably Posey + Claxton for Mahinmi and Hill...

LOL, just kidding

[EricB]

Wouldn't be 100% shocked if Beno and Nocioni were the ones heading to SA.

Doubt it though.

Doubt the Kings announcers know much however.

that's a funny picture

[Leetonidas]

He knows what Beno is hiding in his man purse

Well I just read somewhere else that it is Beno, it didn't sound like a joke, but it could be a joke.

Not sure about Beno I know he has gotten better, but not sure about it at all. It makes more sense too if it's a Sacramento player since it came from their announcers.

lolz thats funny

[timtonymanu]

Beno: Hey Timmy! If you had a choice which of us would you take back?

Timmy laughs and walks away.

[HarlemHeat37]

Beno is actually very good this season, but I just don't want him..I don't want any PG that will play real minutes, it's not a need IMO..

I want nothing to do with Nocioni at all..

[Obstructed_View]

If there is a trade in the offing, my guess is this is who the Spurs will acquire. My guess is Mason is going the other way. Here's why...

- Salaries match

- Wright is known to be available; could be the Spurs latest attempt at finding someone to guard combo forwards/face-up four's

- Heat coveted Mason in summer of '08

- Finley's back, Spurs have a glut at SG, seem committed to playing Hill more at SG and lack depth at PG

- Spurs would get a true SF and PG, two things they lack on their bench

- Heat would get a player to play in their top 8, as well as a shooter/scorer to take some of the burden off Wade

I think the Heat are trying to shave about 3m from their payroll. Unless there's a third team involved, this isn't likely IMO, as much as I'd love to have Wright.

[ElNono]

Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton are not playing for Charlotte tonight... Hmm... Are they injured? Coincidence?

[alchemist]

Beno: Hey Timmy! If you had a choice which of us would you take back?

Timmy laughs and walks away.

I don't understand this logic at all. Hill is anything but a consistent back up PG. I don't think the only way they trade for a back up or 3rd string PG is if they trade TP.

I can see them making a small deal that includes a pg of sorts and even if that player does not get a lot of minutes, does not mean the move won't make sense.

Hill is consistent and has been all year. Fans like you don't understand certain concepts of certain systems with all due respect.

What is your definition of point guard?

People want to rant and rave and compare Hill or Parker to Stockton, Kidd, Mark Jackson, Chris Paul, Nash but the fact is those players were in different systems that allowed them to ALWAYS have the ball in their hands to make plays. Fact is there has been only a handful of TRUE point guards in the history of the league. I get tired of hearing fans say " Tony isn't a true point guard."

"Hill can't create for other's that well he's not a true point guard. Spurs need a true point guard."

The Spurs point guards don't have the luxury in having opportunities to put up Kidd/ Nash/ Paul assist numbers with Tim and Manu having equal responsibility in terms of play making.

Same with the Lakers system and Derek Fisher.

Same with the Cavs system Mo Williams.

Same with the Hawks system and Mike Bibby.

Same with the Orlando Magic and Jameer Nelson.


The " point guards" on those teams have different responsibilities than your teams that had systems in which their point guard was their best play maker and had the ball in their hands most of the time.

With Tim, Manu, Tony being efficient play makers on the Spurs the past 7-8 years, Hill shouldn't be guilty of such criticism.IMO He's done a very consistent and admirable job all year whether if it was starting at the 2 or backing up Parker or filling in for Parker in the starting line up.

[exstatic]

All I know is that we better not trade Hill. Dude is an all-star in the making and he allows the Spurs to keep up that mystique attained only through the act of find good players late in the draft.

I wouldn't see George as an All Star unless he left for a big market team, but he is a guy who can play in the league for 10-12 years, and finding that deep in the draft is a gift.

Well I just read somewhere else that it is Beno, it didn't sound like a joke, but it could be a joke.

Not sure about Beno I know he has gotten better, but not sure about it at all. It makes more sense too if it's a Sacramento player since it came from their announcers.

Beno's way overpaid and he sucked ass when he was here. The SPurs paid Minnesota to take him. If Pop trades for him someone should just put him away now.
