if you want to Trade Parker and Ginobili for him, go ahead, personally I don't.
OK, I'll start it:
Would you want AI here? He has 3 yrs left on his contract, and will make $17.1 million with $19M and $20.8M after that. So it would take a pretty major trade (read: Manu, Tony, or both) to make it work.
Ups: League-leading scorer, tough, makes his own shot, highly competetive
Downs: 31 yrs old, often considered selfish, might not be able to blend into a team that's not all-AI-all-the-time.
Still, you gotta ask it: does Duncan+AI+ whoever the else you want = championships? Is best big man + best little man a cool idea?
if you want to Trade Parker and Ginobili for him, go ahead, personally I don't.
it's an interesting question.....would he be the same AI in PHI causing team chemistry problems or would the presence of POP & TD mellow him out? I wouldn't give up any of our big-3 for him.
He's not worth any of the big three to me. He's got some talent in him but I'd rather see the front office make moves for somebody younger.
Duncan & Iverson didn't work out well in the Olympics, It will never work out here.
Philly won't get top dollar for him, but there's nothing we could offer, or should.
If our recent history in the Olympics is how measure....SAS would be in a heap of doo doo. Remember TD couldn't do squat in international play.
I wouldn't even trade a dirty Tony Massenburg jersey for AI.
Parker > Iverson.
No thanks. We have a shoot-first point guard already except ours shoots above 42% for his career, and he doesn't often lead the league in turnovers.
Tough debate on that one. Iverson has a much more complete offensive game, and plays the passing lane well on defense....
But Tony is 7 years younger, has half the cost, and one could argue that Tony isn't averaging 30+ points a game because the offense goes primarily through Tim and not him...
I'd give the talent edge to iverson right now, but in a year or two I think you're right. Either way, it's a smart play to keep Tony for the long term, rather than going after AI because it would almost certainly be TP going out the door in a trade...
We just dont have , or would want to make, room for him. I love Iverson personally, and think that his heart and desire to win are top notch, just not a good fit for the team, even the city
I would like to see him in San Antonio but I would not give up any of our big three.
I would trade two or three player like Brent Barry, Beno Udrich, Fabrico Oberto, James White, and or the rights to Luis Scola and or draft picks.
I cant help but think that some how Allen Iverson will end up playing with Kevin Garrnet in Minnesota or in Philadelphia.
I have seen A.I. wearing spurs apparel on several tv interviews, maybe he is hinting at something.
Overall I wouldnt mind having him here but again dont touch the big three or Finely.
Maybe a three or four team trade would be better
Earn your name in the regular season, earn your fame in the playoffs.
Parker 2 rings
Iverson 0.
man touch finley all the way. if we can dump finley and add iverson in the same deal, i would rejoice like a southern baptist at KFC
iverson single-handedly took on shaq and kobe at their primes and won a finals game. i'm pretty sure we got swept that year.
I would propose the following:
1. Butler
2. Bonner
3. Rights to scola
4. Future draft pick
5. Cash--1,500
Tell Philly--take it or leave it--
Oh--one more thing--Philly--you continue to pay his contract (a la Mark Cuban).
No thanks, the Spurs don't have the salary to match unless they include Parker, Ginobili, or Duncan.
agreed....Fin is not a factor in a deal like this.
Iverson would move to SA?
If people think Tony hogs the ball, ....
I'm pretty sure Pop, Duncan and Manu might of helped
It doesn't work like that in the real world, but good try.
I'm all for the Spurs sending Parker + Manu to Philly for AI
Do all southern baptists like KFC or something?
Tony Parker is better right now than AI. He has many more years to come, AI is almost done.
Plus Parker is better financially for those spurstalk salary analysts that give a about what a player makes.
AI is cool though.
