Knicks making a late surge for Tyrus, centered around Al Harrington...
To me, it's interesting you don't hear rumors from other teams pursuing our expirings. Mason is the only one you hear something about after his emo routine. I guess nobody wants Bonner, Finley... Not even for their expiring contracts?

Unless the Spurs are reluctant to move them... You know, losing more 'corporate knowledge' and what not...
TT at least would have given us something to be excited about the rest of the season.
What corporate knowledge? There is none! That left with Bowen, Horry, Barry, Oberto, etc. The Spurs are never going to get that back in the Duncan-era. The need to stop trying to force a new team into being something it's not.
Pop preaches defense, then plays ridiculous lineups that have no chance at being successful defensively. Even if they played proper lineups, they still don't have the tools to be as good defensively as he wants them to be.
As for the 'system', what system? They've devolved into most NBA teams: pick and roll. It's either that, or four-down. I've said it before and I'll say it again: whatever happened to guard-around? Wedge-roll? etc.
With the news leaked on the discussions with Miami, it's pretty clear that the Spurs are/were trying to shave off salary without taking back a player.
It's a damn shame the ed-up Knicks were allowed to swoop in and take Tyrus Thomas. Instead of aggressively upgrading the roster, it looks like Pop is willing to drag the remainder of these tired legs to the regular season finish line.
The Knicks got Thomas?
They're making a hard, late, aggressive bit - separate from the McGrady deal with Houston. Nothing is official - yet. Let's just say the Knicks look like the leaders in the clubhouse for now.
a healthy mcgrady and james,thomas
had they got nate
knicks would have had a team
F IN BULLSHYT, GO FIGURE this would happen there. What a f'ed up year.
Marc Stein's latest report is the Knicks are prepared to send Al Harrington to the Bulls in exchange for Thomas. Which, if true, doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't know Harrington's contract status (and too lazy to look it up now). I do know the Bulls have been desparately seeking expiring contracts.
10 million expiring.
Doesn't make much damn sense, but it will trump us and we won't get Thomas or anyone worth a shyt. This will happen, watch. Another huge dissapointment this year for this team, what else is new.
So it looks like the Salmons trade might be Joe Alexander + Hakim Warrick instead of Thomas-Elson..
I guess that is a little better. It was making me kinda sick to think that Salmons could have been had for a bag of chips and the Spurs didn't seem to care.
at this point, getting two, underachieving SFs for the 3 bags of nuts the Spurs have would be okay with me. If nothing else, this would allow Pop couild continue to hone his favorite on-court strategy "small-ball THE SEQUEL"
It's funny because most of the Bulls fans on RealGM would rather have Mason-1st round pick deal instead of a deal for Donatello Harrington..
I would imagine the Spurs have at least made an offer like that..well, at least I hope..
Yeah, I thought so too. Especially considering the Bulls are hurting desparately for perimeter scoring since the departure of Ben Gordon. Thought this was a slam dunk. I hope I'm proved wrong tomorrow.
Mason's struggling scoring on this team. Why'd he be any different in Chi-town?
Eh doubt it, they will settle for a deal that makes no sense at all and we will scratch our heads but we lost out on what we wanted. Maggette signed with a loaded GS team at the time and he said he wanted to win? They were loaded with guys like him already and nothing else, but he signs there and spurns us at the endGood lord it always ends like this.
Maggette signed there because they gave him big money..it was a stupid move by GS at the time, but not by Maggette..$$$ > winning..
Maybe other GMs just don't want to deal with us? Every year we come up short on trades, except for Jefferson, which happened because they got off their ass. At the same time they had to think about it forever the previous trade deadline. Anyway just curious for the reasons for our inaction. My guess - Pop gets neurotic and overanalyzes everything then waits till the last second and almost gets something done...5 minutes after the deadline.
Which is why he will never sniff the playoffs or a ring there.
So ESPN is reporting that there is a 3-way deal that is agreed in principal with Kevin Martin going to Houston and McGrady going to either Sacto or New Yiddy..
So it looks like the Bulls won't be involved in that if it's true..so the only rumored possibility for Thomas seems to be for Al Harrington now..
damn nice job Houston getting Martin.
But man, watching him tonight vs GS, he looked terrible.
