Tony Allen

[Andthentherewas21]

In the spirit of gnsf threads for players we have little or no chance of acquiring, I was wondering, what would people be willing to give up for Tony "Trick or Treat" Allen?

He's an expiring $3.3 million contract this season, known for his D and extremely erratic offense.

If he could be had in a S&T for Danny Green and a future pick or Blair, would it be worth it?

[jermaine]

Yes

[spursfan1000]

If it was Gary neal and pick for him then yes

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Idiot, and not very young any more.

[ElNono]

I'll take him... we have enough scoring...

I wouldn't do Danny Green for him straight up; Danny is a better fit for us. For a one year rental, I'd consider Neal + Blair for him, but it would depend on what's going on with our big men; that would have to be resolved first.

I don't know. DG got vilified for missing a couple of 3's and he probably played better defense on Chris Paul than Tony Allen.

[sananspursfan21]

No tank you...get it? If we acquired him, it would mean we are tanking! Duh-duh, tshhhhh

[sananspursfan21]

On a serious note though, the guys like 6'4, shouldnt we be adding some size to guard durants and lebrons and such?

[spursparker9]

Tony Allen is a wild card. He is good defensively but he will also make westbrook-like mistakes.

Paul was injured, Allen is hands down a top 3 perimeter defender if he can't guard a healthy CP3 how could Green?

We swept the Clippers...

I've actually been surprised at the small number of ridiculous, baseless "get this guy" threads and posts. Outside of the love affair with Batum, that kind of chatter has been minimal.

As for this one, completely baseless but not so ridiculous. I probably wouldn't do it because you'd be giving up a much better offensive player in Green and giving away Blair for no additional value.

Tony Allen would easily become the best perimeter defender the Spurs have had since Bruce Bowen. It's a no brainer to pick him up. I don't think the Spurs will be able to, but having him out on the wing would make the Spurs that much better defensively in no time.

[ElNono]

Him, Battier and Artest top 3 perimeter defenders in the league, IMO...
