I think the deal, if it happens, will be S&T Nazr and Barry to the Hornets for J.R. Smith, Arvydas Macijauskas, and a newly signed Speedy Claxton.
According to this, Speedy does have interest on returning to the Spurs.
Speedy Claxton would be a good fit in Dallas and it's a possibility, but he's expressed some interest in returning to San Antonio.

so, how bout this.
Know since one of the hold ups on the trade with JR Smith trade was the Hornets traded for Jackson first and he took up the salary cap room that was left, which would've absorb the difference between Barry's and Smith. Now their salary's don't match up.
Hornets sign and trade Speedy + Smith for Barry and Beno. Speedy will still have a good salary, so that shouldn't hold him back from coming. Hornets get two shooters they covert, plus a young pg to replace the depature of Speedy.
What do you think, we don't have to use are MLE on a pg and can still use it for a long 3 or basically anyone that comes about.
Parker - Speedy
Manu - JR Smith
Bowen - Finley - Williams
TD - Bonner - Horry
Oberto - RJ - ???

The 5 spot is still a toss up on who will start, will know more when we sign and trade Nazr (hopefully).
My guess is Bonner starts at 5, but plays the 4.
I'd take it. Sounds pretty good in all cases. I'm a bit reluctant to see Barry go if we get Claxton, due to injury concerns. But in all cases it seems to work.
Which is why I doubt we'll be trading Beno.
They do need a center, but I doubt they're salaries match.
Barry and Nazr together would be around 10 mil and JR, Arvydas and Speedy wouldn't match that.
Unless its Barry and Nazr for PJ, SPeedy and JR.
I would do that.
But thats were RC Burford said they'll be looking into a yound 3rd sting pg. I doubt they're counting on Beno being the backup pg.
The Hornets want to select higher in the draft and are trying to package JR Smith with their picks for a higher pick.
pj brown tell them you want to play for a contender
spurs could fill the hole for one year with pj brown and then hope their young guns will be ready the next year
Salaries don't have to match, Hornets are under the cap.
True, but if no one bites. They're down in the high teens. All the good prospects are in the single digits. I doubt anybody trades with them.
Hornets have a lot of cap room. They want to get a shooter, PG, and a center. They have a lot of holes to fill and probably enough money to do it.
They aren't in the high teens. They have two picks - 12 and 15.
Are they? They were over when they traded for Jackson. With Speedy off the books, they went under that much??
i dont think the hornets are goin to depart with JR, since they seen whats his been doin lately, hittin the gym
so one is low, i think 15 is high teens, well almost![]()
I don't know that they were over the cap. And they have a lot of players off the books - Speedy, AWilliams, Lynch, Anderson, etc. They only have $32M in committed salary.

The Hornets don't want JR Smith. They will send him off if the right deal comes along. I know there is a team out there that has something the Hornets want and that team will probably take a chance on JR Smith.
he is the best option out there
also he has one year on his contract
hopefully by then the spurs will have their euro bigs ready to be starters
Are they that much under? I don't keep up with other teams salary cap situation, but they must have a lot of player coming off the books to be way under.
Trade sounds great, maybe if we could lie to the Hornets as well and tell them David West isnt good they would trade him to us for Nazr. And Bonner better not start
Look above. They are way under.
Wow, Desmond Mason is making 8 mil this yr. I doubt they pick Moochie 4 mil. They are way under. And no one making over 8.
