Sprewell doesn't want that. I'll take a good locker room guy who can shoot the three over sprewell any day.
- Sign and trade: Barry for Sprewell
- Sign McKie for remainder of MLE or full LLE
- Sign Evans or Jones for remainder of MLE or full LLE
Then the Spurs' perimeter would look like:
Starters
1 Parker
2 Ginobili
3 Bowen
Bench
1 Udrih
2/3 Brown
2/3 McKie
2/3 Sprewell
IR
1 vet point
2/3 Evans or Jones
Minutes breakdown:
1 Parker 34
1 Udrih 14
2 Ginobili 30
2 Sprewell 10
2 Brown 8
3 Bowen 28
3 McKie 10
3 Sprewell 8
3 Brown 2
This would give the Spurs an experienced, defensive-oriented perimeter. They would lose a little in the 'pure shooter' department with the departure of Barry, but this would be a group that fits Spurs Basketball to a T. If the Spurs offer McKie the remainder of the MLE then they would be able to offer the same level of contract that the Lakers have reportedly offered McKie. Defense Wins Championships plus I think Sprewell's scoring ability would help out significantly coming off the bench.
Sprewell is dumped on a little too much in the forum. As a starter logging 30+ minutes a night, yes, makes Sprewell unattractive. But coming off the bench for under 20 minutes a night would make him a great fit in SA. He's a great athlete.
Brown's minutes would be reduced, but his options are limited thanks to his restricted free agent status. Overall, this would give the Spurs a great swingman rotation and it would stay true to the Spurs' philosophy moreso than retaining Barry.

No way I'd trade Devin Brown for an aging, washed-up piece of .
The Spurs need good 3-point shooting to keep defenses from collapsing on TD in the post and TP and Manu driving into the lane. The Spurs should keep Brent.
I prefer having Brent in case we need him to play the point for whatever reason. I'm interested to see how he looks in the first few months of the season.
That's why I'd trade Barry for him.
Sprewell isn't as bad as some of you think, especially when compared to Barry.
Utterly stupid. Barry is far more versatile than Spreewell is and I, along with many here, expect a larger role for him next year. He needs the ball in his hands to start an offense, and I think Pop recognizes that. Watch Udrih slide more into a SG role in some sets. Barry gives the second string some real dynamism on offense.
Spreewell you can sign outright. Why the would you trade a valuable, great locker room guy with some talent for him? Utterly, utterly brainless.
Barry's basquetball IQ is way over Spree's
Roster spots 11 and 12 left:
resign devin/sign Maurice Evans
sign James Jones
I doubt the Spurs will carry extras on IR with the tax situation being what it is.
Excellent. Then when he craters in the postseason again he'll hurt the team even more. ing awesome idea.
Awesome. He needs the ball more to be effective. Giving an ineffective player more touches. If there is a better way to reduce the efficiency of the offense I've yet to see it.He needs the ball in his hands to start an offense, and I think Pop recognizes that.
Too bad Barry decided not to display that in the postseason. What is stupid is holding out hope for regular season wonders to perform when it is winning time.Watch Udrih slide more into a SG role in some sets. Barry gives the second string some real dynamism on offense.
Not necessarily, considering the limited cap flexibility the Spurs have left.Spreewell you can sign outright.
"Brainless" is thinking that Barry is that valuable. Even you can't possibly be that ing stupid. Think Pop would think twice about dumping Barry for Spree? Get some ing idea of Barry's true worth.Why the would you trade a valuable, great locker room guy with some talent for him? Utterly, utterly brainless.
Yeah, those negroes don't know how to think.
Um, I dont know what post season you watched, but Barry did not crater. He played better in the post season.
Trading Barry for Spree is a step backwards.
Barry sucked hard in the playoffs. Only a homer would think otherwise. Pop had to yank his ass early in a couple of games.
Well, I guess only a homer who looks at the stats and notices a markable increase across the board woudl think he cratered in the playoffs. Call me a homer!
No one said he played awesome in every game, but he played well in the playoffs and very well in the last game of the year.
Congratulations for the most worthless comment of the month, MB. You're getting pissy because universally people are condemning your ideas as idiotic. Barry played well in the playoffs, better as they went along. His percentages all went up in the playoffs. His ballhandling was timely against Detroit.

What the is this ? The Spurs main problem the past few years has been shooting and people not being able to make their shots. Then you wanna trade somebody who is a shooter? Give me a break.
Lose a little in shooting? the Spurs have never had shooting. Losing any shooting is a huge step backwards.
Yeah, I suppose I'm catching up with you in that department. If Barry's skin color was a darker shade none of these people would give two flips about his allegedly wonderful game.
If you can't stand my tone, tone down yours. And offer an idea for a change. But I guess that's hard seeing as how you're perpetually out of them.
Where was Barry's great shooting in the Seattle series? In the Pistons series he got so scared Pop had to take him off the floor.
Your racism is really tiresome, especially trotting out that kind of stupid statement when your argument holds no water at all. It's not productive and it amounts to an ad hominum attack on the entire board. I wonder you don't get a reprimand. I know I don't appreciate it.
I'm not offering an idea here because I'm busy - along with everyone else - with ripping yours down. There is no one on the planet with the exception of you and maybe Spreewell who would make that trade. It's plain idiocy. Barry is a more versatile player than Spreewell, who was a good scorer in this league, though his production is dropping.
Tone down the racism. It's making a complete and utter tool out of you.
Brent Barry trade?
You're ing high as usual.
I thought Barry was pretty useful as a pawn for Pop to tinker with. Place him in starter's role for Manu to explode off the bench then have him try a little too much against Seattle (Horry vs. Lakers style) then he was big against Phoenix and routinely handled the rock against Detroit rather than Udrih and at times Parker.
Why throw a first year Spur under the bus so fast for playing pretty well in his first Finals ever?? Barry's like a fine wine baby, only gonna get better with age.
You know i dindt mean that,
barry is sg/pg, his passing is way better and his desition making in court because thats job
Guys, you are all getting angry with hypotheticals. Calm down. It's not like any of what Marcus said is going to happen. We all know Sprewell isn't coming here. We all know Barry isn't going anywhere, unless he really screws up this season, but that is a long time from now. So everybody just relax and take a chill pill! Life is good. We are the world champions!
Where was Sprewell's clutch playoff......oh wait he was trying to feed his family.....and he never made the playoffs, in fact he hurt a championship contender just from just the year before.
He is a cancer.....not a team player, Brent is...that is what makes him a better fit for the Spurs.
Your racial comments need to be halted.
TD is a smarter B-Ball player....and his is black......preferring Brent over Spree is better.
tH: We all know nobody would trade Barry for Sprewell. That's not the issue. The issue is that some guy on this board basically says he would make this trade in the ungodly instance he somehow got a hold of the GM phones. The rest of us, terrified that he might be so unhinged to actually steal Pop or Buford's cell phone and/or email account access and bust this trade through, want to make it abundantly clear what an awful, ridiculously awful idea this is. We're sticking red flags around the mound of .
