The only weird thing is that Devin can't be involved in a package deal for 2 more months, right?
Odd.
Interesting, but odd.
That is what KSAT is reporting. Simmons said that the Spurs could be working on a large multi-team trade with the Golden State Warriors involving Devin Brown ... but Devin wouldn't be coming to the Spurs.
I wouldn't put much stock in a KSAT rumor but Devin very well could have tipped them off because he's a frequent guest on Instant Replay (the station's Sunday sports show). Plus it was too specific for Simmons to just pull out of his azz.
We've been hearing that Barry is a player that Golden State has wanted for a while. I'm not sure what the Spurs could be getting. Troy Murphy? Mickaël Pietrus? Perhaps it could be the third team who is supplying the player.
Hmmm...

When could the trade go through the earliest? Devin just got traded so it would take at least 2 months if he is a part of a package, right?
GS is rumored to land Harrington, so it might be Atlanta, GS and SA? Would be nice if a player like Murphy, Childress or even Josh Smith (which is impossible I think) ends up in SA...
Devin has not been traded for the moment.
His trade will happen on July 12st, so GS can turn the Utah/GS trade as a part of a bigger deal.
Jason Richardson
Hmmmm, Warriors have a lot of pieces. They have a large 3 in Dunleavy with an awful contract. A nice 4 in Murphy with a bad contract. Pietrus would work out with the Spurs.
Interesting.
Good point mentioned above, Atlanta have an abundance of large young SF's.
No way they give away Josh Smith though, 15PPG 8RPG 4APG after the All-Star breeak whilst blocking shots. They would be nuts to rid themselves of him.
only pietrus, childress, marvin williams. josh smith is the player i would like don the spurs jersey,
only way hawks can accept a deal is players on 1 year contracts or expiring, so bye bye barry, horry, orb, beno,
Yeah I can't figure it out. If Devin is involved, that's the only player that the Warriors can be sending out.
Maybe something like:
Warriors get Al Harrington
Spurs get Mike Pietrus
Hawks get Devin Brown, Eric Williams, a Warriors first rounder, cash from the Warriors and Luis Scola
Hawks could then waive Devin (his contract is mostly unguaranteed), use the cash in the trade to waive Williams and then just go with the pick and Scola as compensation for doing the sign-and-trade.
If its 3 way between GS, ATL and SA, then it may not be the Spurs player going to Atlanta.only way hawks can accept a deal is players on 1 year contracts or expiring, so bye bye barry, horry, orb, beno,
This all seems unrealistic, but it is fun to speculate never the less.
They can for players with 1-year contracts only.
Dunleavy Junior would probably be who we end up with.
I thought they were restricted to signing new free agents to one year contracts, but were allowed to sign-and-trade Harrington for players with multi-year contracts since he was once already under contract with them. Am I wrong?
Okay, this is pretty complicated but it works.
Warriors get Al Harrington
Spurs get Mickael Pietrus
Jazz get Derek Fisher
Hawks get Eric Williams, Devin Brown, Andre Owens, Keith McLeod, Luis Scola, 1st Round Pick and Cash
Hawks get four players in the last year of their contracts. Everyone else gets who they wanted.
Seems like wishful thinking to me...why would the Warriors give us a player that doesn't really suck?
It'll somehow be for Dunleavy...doesn't his contract expire after this year?
How I understand it ... They can sign-and-trade Harrington but only take back players on a one-year deal, unless they were already in the midst of the specific trade talks when the ruling happened.
His contract is huge and ends like in 2020.
He can play SF...
Ok well good then...because I don't want ing Dunleavy. And neither should anyone else...including Golden State and the Hawks...
Edit: What's funny is that I didn't want Dunleavy even before I knew he had a ty contract...
Wow, I finish watching the Cards Astros replay and I come to this?
Quite interesting.
Although getting Pietrus IMO wouldn't be "blockbuster"
I guess the "size" of the trade would make it one.
Hopefully this doesn't involve Cleveland and Tony Parker.
He signed a five year extension last fall.
The only reason the trade makes sense is if the Hawks covet Scola. Perhaps they do since I've noticed that they've drafted for overseas players a couple times in the last few years.
It's a stretch but it's as good a guess as I can make on what could be happening. Perhaps Brent Barry is involved and the trade is even bigger and more complicated.
Hawks are under the cap so they can take back more contracts then they send out (as long as they are one year contracts). They need players to fill out their roster.
Steve Smith
And Bruce is going to be 80 years old next year.
Brown and Owens are unguaranteed. Williams could be waived with the cash involved in the trade. McLeod they could keep and use a backup point.
That's too complicated for KSAT News. Pietrus is a Spurs wet dream.
