Trading Manu? No way!
Brand may be available for trade. The spurs should look into getting Brand. Brand won't be cheap to get so it may take trading Manu in a package for Brand. Then get a young player like JR Smith for starting sg spot.
Trading Manu? No way!
Brand makes 15 mil.
And you would trade our highest PER player for him?
trade our bench
If thses are the players you want, you may want to change your team to the nuggets or clippers and get used to losing...
NOOOOO!!!!
stuff that, sign him next season when his a fa
Brand isn't going to happen. The Spurs don't have the salary to trade for him this year, don't have the cap space to sign him next year, and will be looking towards 2010 to sign someone younger and as good or better than Brand.
CB4 in 2010!
No. Period. Though I like Brand and think he would do well here the cost is too high. Anyway my feelings about Smith are that he is an explosive offensive player at times but his BB IQ is very low. Case in point - he meltdown agianst us in the playoffs. Pathetic. That wont work with Pop.
Trade Manu? He brings way too much off the bench for this team. He is a difference maker that can't be replaced. I just don't see this as a good trade. As ststed before - get him in the off season when he is a FA.
No ing way.
blow the team up. Do a Celtics!
2010? This is exactly what I heard before ,about signing a great free agent at a future date and the spurs ended up with Rasho Nesterovic.
Manu is not the difference maker, Duncan is.
and a le you forgot
I'll take Chris Kaman.
Nice idea, but no way. His contract prohibits this idea. He makes damn near as much as Tim. Nice try.
Your idea sounds good. To be honest, it is worth to trade Manu/Parker to get a quality big man like Brand. Another set of twin towers. Trading Manu makes more sense to SA as he is little old but other teams would want younger TP. One of the problems is that most of the bigs are injury prone and plus we do not know how good Tiago is going to be...If Tiago is really good, then we will have redundant resources and this trade might not look good 2 to 3 years from now.
Salary might not be a problem as some of the contracts will be off the books soon.. Even we can convince players to come to TX where there is no state tax and expect them to give little discount.
And where do you suppose we get scoring from if we trade Manu or Parker?
He's going to be good enough to have a spot in the rotation immediately. And we also have Ian, btw.
Thats IF Tiago is really good. There is no such thing as a redundancy at c/pf because you can always trade away quality big men.
He takes hold of the game and completely controls it down the stretch just as frequently as Duncan does.
I'd pass on Brand unless he wants a ring and not money.
Where do the points come from if you give up TP and MG? I don't think Brand can average 40 points a night.
If we want another big bruiser, I suggest maybe go after Curry. At 285 (listed weight?) he could bang with the Yaos and Shaqs in the league at just a tad more than half the cost of Brand. Maybe he wouldn't have a huge night every night scoring, but at least you get to keep Tony and Manu. Or maybe Tyson Chandler. A little taller but gives up 50 lbs to Curry and would cost about a mil and half more.
I too would like another bruiser to put in with Tim, but no way do I want to see either Tony or Manu go to do it.
Elson, Manu and Barry for Brand worked on realgm trade tracker so it is possible but not probable. Sterling is willing to shake up the team but he views Brand as his franchise player.
He likely wouldn't take Manu for him and most here still would not trade Ginobili for Brand. There would have to be another move to add a starting sg but adding a sg is easier than adding a quality big man.
No doubt he did not mean both Manu and Parker.
Maybe we should trade for someone who would be able to play this season. Brand isn't even allowed to run or jump yet.
Trade Ginobili?
Uh no. I don't know what the you got against Manu Rascal, but the damn insanity with that BS needs to quit.
