cue the homerism....
its a freakin Spurs board, what do you expect?
Cue the Kobe worshippers...
even if it WERE possible...and it's not (you need learn about salary cap issues vis-a-vis trades)...I wouldn't, mainly because of the salary hit involved (not enough return for the investment).
No, and not because I think Manu is a better player than Kobe...that'd be homeristic. But because right now the Spurs have the best Big 3 in the NBA...and have had it for the last 4 or so seasons. Parker, Duncan, and Ginobili compliment eachother's games a lot. Spurs don't have a problem scoring, don't need additional leadership, or even another go-to guy. They need a complementary player to to Parker and Duncan and an X Factor who can come off the bench and be the energy guy when needed or who can do stuff when the offense and defense become stagnant.
I wouldn't trade for Kobe because he's already managed to ruin one championship program.
Manu is as much a part of Spurs Basketball as any player has ever been. The last thing this team needs is a prima donna nutcase with a penchant for ass raping the help at mountain resorts.
If they had the same contract, you'd be a fool not to.
Trade Tony for Kobe

You guys are nuts if you wouldn't trade Manu for Kobe.. let me guess you wouldn't trade Manu for Bron either.. cause Manu is a better fit cause he lives in San Antonio
I honestly wouldn't, why would I mess up what we've got going?
You think Kobe is going to sit on the bench so Barry or Finley can start because they play better as starters and the energy we get from Kobe off the bench helps the team incredibly...
Maybe, but I wouldn't count on it..
Ah no numbskull you start Kobe.. He's the best player in the nba.
Do you really think Pop is going to sit there and say " Well.. yea Kobe is at the least a top 3 player in the league.. but I just can't do the deal cause Finely and Barry need to start"?
Manu is a better player than Kobe. Maybe not as a scorer, but in almost every other aspect of the game. Exactly wtf has Kobe Bryant done in the last 5 years anyway.
How long would it be until Bryant threatened to opt out and leave if the Spurs didn't move Duncan?
Better player? Are you en re ed? I'm not the biggest Kobe fan either but I have to say that's just stupid homerism.
Have you bothered to ever take a look at the roster he's worked with the last couple of years? But to answer your question. He's lost in the conf finals, lost in the finals, and taken one of the worst rosters to the playoffs twice in the toughest division in the league.
And if you think Manu is a better player then Kobe.. your either been drinking way too much Kool-aid or you don't watch any basketball other the the spurs and have a pretty pathetic understanding of the game.
This just in, Spur fans also won't trade Manu for Dwight Howard cause Fransisco Ellison plays better when he starts.
One is a teammate, the other is a cancer. Please note the difference.
Yes.. cause Kobe was such a terrible person that when he had another star to play with he won 3 championships. Got cha.
You mean Shaq? One of the most dominant players in NBA history? The very same person that Kobe completely ran out of town so he could be "the man"?
Actually it's quite well do ented what a prick Kobe was back then. Need we bring up the hundreds of disputes, the incredible lack of chemistry that wracked the team, the Colorado situation, the number of teammates that have called Kobe out for being impossible to get along with, the recent debacle where he called one of his only young talented players trash, the complete disintegration of a team with 4 HOFs on it, the numerous altercations on the court?
Or shall we just go with Phil Jackson, a HOFer with 9 rings, who called Kobe "uncoachable"?
Gee, I dunno, what do you think? Oh. Right. My mistake. He's a model citizen.
Manu is a better player.
Dumb, trading Manu for Kobe would make the Spurs a dominant team. Not just good enough to win a Championship and every other year champs. Shaq/Kobe Lakers won 3 straight. How many times have Spurs repeated? 0You mean Shaq? One of the most dominant players in NBA history? The very same person that Kobe completely ran out of town so he could be "the man"?

Let me know when Kobe gets a heart like Manu has. Then maybe we can talk.
And how many rings has Kobe won since Shaq left? Can you say "ZERO"?
And what makes you think Kobe wouldn't ruin what the Spurs have? Would he be willing to take the 6th man role? I doubt it.
