The only problem that comes to mind with Udrih is his ability to bring the ball up against pressure. Other than that, I was quite impressed with him last season.
Personally, I want Beno to remain a Spur. But I'm hearing a lot of talking indicating that the Spurs would be willing to deal Beno. Perhaps the coaching staff soured on him at some point. Who knows?
If they do, what are some trades that you'd accept for Beno? Most likely, the Spurs would be getting a veteran PG in return.
Here are some trades that would deal Udrih and bring back a more veteran point guard:
Beno Udrih + Linton Johnson for Anthony Johnson.
The Pacers really wanted Beno in the draft last season. He was the player they targeted with the last pick in the first round. With the addition of Sarunas Jasikevicius, the Pacers need to move a point guard. Perhaps they'd want to bring in Beno as a young prospect for the future. Johnson is 31 years old and is coming off of his best season. He averaged 8.4 points, 4.8 assists and was 13th in the league in assists to turnovers.
Beno Udrih + Fillers (or Devin Brown) for Speedy Claxton
Claxton is in the last year of his deal. Spurs fans know what he can do. If the Hornets want to open the door for Chris Paul, trading Speedy makes sense.
Beno Udrih + Luis Scola for Jameer Nelson
The Spurs wanted Nelson in the draft last summer. They almost traded up to get him. If he would have fallen one more pick, he would have been a Spur. With the Magic signing Keyon Dooling and saying they aren't going to trade Francis, perhaps that makes Nelson expendable. The Magic also have another forward playing in the Spanish league, so getting Scola would just add to their collection.
Beno Udrih + Devin Brown for Chucky Atkins and a first round pick
This is more of a reach. Atkins has one more year left on his contract and could be a decent backup. It'd be giving away a lot but the Wizards are interested in Devin and don't have a backup point guard (depending on how they use AD). The Spurs would do it to get a good first round pick and a player who can fill in at point for a year.
The only problem that comes to mind with Udrih is his ability to bring the ball up against pressure. Other than that, I was quite impressed with him last season.
Beno Udrih + Luis Scola for Jameer Nelson
I like deal if he would be ok with 10-12 minutes a game
i would trade him but not any of those trades
oh ust relieased filler OR devin it wasn't devin
yeah i woudl do
beno for speedy claxton and throw in a 2nbd round pick
also i think snow might be a good vetran point gaurd to look at
I'm suprised that the Spurs would be willing to deal him. Granted he looked like a rookie during the playoffs, but he really surprised me during the regular season. The Jameer Nelson deal sounds interesting but otherwise I'd rather see him still in a Spurs jersey. I've never really liked Chucky Atkins, and I don't know much about Johnson. Claxton basically left the Spurs in search of more money and minutes? Would he be willing to come back in and do essentially what he was doing the first time around?
speedy can not hit a three
atleast with beno you can count on that
speedy was needed when facing marbarry but that happens 2 times now a year
Maybe Nelson and not for two players, but otherwise none of those other scenarios appeal to me.
I'm all for keeping Beno, but I've now heard three credible trades that have been shot down involving him. Perhaps the Spurs are trying to trade him.
Perhaps not.
Linton Johnson has a team option and basically the spurs have boughten more time with him but ludden says he is history
obviously there was to much fan confusion over who was nazr and who was linton
i wouldn't trade him, i really like him
Beno needs more experience. He is a decent PG back-up. I would not trade him.
of those options speedy is clearly the best
first and foremost he knows the org, the pressure, the most important players, and best of all, pop and his system (argue however you like what that system is).
and on top of that his contract is up at the end of the year. if he is going to be playing second fiddle on a bad team during a contract year, wouldnt he rather do it winning a championship?
I like beno's offensive game, but I dont think he is well rounded enough to be truly special. and if he really is worth keeping the spurs probably wouldnt be able to afford him. so might as well make a trade while his stock is high and give yourself flexibility. I'd do a speedy for beno+brown trade (and maybe try to get them to throw in a second round pick).
this guy hits the three which i like but pop letting him get trapped multiple teams in playoffs was stupid
Get Devin Harris! Beno and LJIII for Harris!
Harris will be a star!
Harris is a bust. He sucked last year and sucked in summer league. Sorry, mang.
But that's what happens when the Mavs tried to draft "the American Tony Parker".
Oops.
nash was my favorite mav
That would be a really good trade for the Spurs but personally I would like to see Beno back next year.Beno Udrih + Luis Scola for Jameer Nelson
The Spurs wanted Nelson in the draft last summer. They almost traded up to get him. If he would have fallen one more pick, he would have been a Spur. With the Magic signing Keyon Dooling and saying they aren't going to trade Francis, perhaps that makes Nelson expendable. The Magic also have another forward playing in the Spanish league, so getting Scola would just add to their collection.
I heard of the rumor of Beno for Jarrett Jack. What other trade proposals were made?
I don't like any of those trades. The Udrih + Scola for Jameer Nelson looks especially avoidable. I'm not sure Nelson's better than either one of them.
The rest all involve guards not as talented or having as much potential as Udrih. I'm going on the books as a Beno supporter. He needs to figure out how to handle it against quick, pestering guards, otherwise he has a fine package of skills. He has a very nice mid-range shot, already hits the long ball well, has the balls to drive against tough compe ion, and has a great court sense as well as having the mentality of a quarterback-type point guard. In addition, he has good size and has shown to be a pretty good defender already.
No sweat. This guy will have lots of fans by the end of next season. Our guards are going to kill. (Also, increasingly, Pop will recognize this team needs to run more.)
LJ, what are the other deals?
Jameer is the only one I'd take of those you listed up above.
I don't know why we'd want to trade for Speedy, he'd just up and leave again in pursuit of that mythical starting job he wanted back in '03.
Id trade for Speedy, and I think the losing seasons have humbled him.
Second trade I would do would be for Jameer Nelson.
Nelson will be a stud.
I think Beno has too much potential for us to be trading him (and an additional player) for only a backup point guard. If we're dealing with pressure situations and Pop doesn't feel comfortable with Beno, then Barry and Manu make a decent ball-handling backcourt. Give Beno a couple years. Jameer Nelson is the only player listed I might want, and I think what we'd be giving up in that trade is too much.
One year and you are already callin him a bust?! We shall see!!
