Don't Be Surprised

[Ghost Writer]

If we have to get Wally to get Thomas from Seattle.

Give to get.

I remember many of us snapped when we signed Brent Barry, because his contract was somewhat expensive and long for a veteran swingman.

Same thing with Szerbiack.

His contract is tough to stomach, but you could see the Spurs front office taking a shine to him the same way they dug Barry.

I'm just saying... don't jump if Szerbiack comes in a deal for Thomas.

[Holt's Cat]

The Spurs would have to send out

Barry
Horry
Finley
Elson
Bonner

for those two. F that.

[Holt's Cat]

I don't recall anyone "snapping" when the Spurs signed Barry.

Plus Szczerbiak's salary is 3x Barry's.

lawl i dont think thats gonna happen

[Mr. Body]

Szczerbiak will not be a Spur.

[T Park]

Wally is way too expensive.

No thank you.

[Holt's Cat]

If the Spurs wanted Szczerbiak, they could acquire him for:

Barry
Elson
Bonner

That would allow the Sonics to pare down a significant amount of payroll next season. Of course, if they keep Szczerbiak then they will have his huge ass expiring contract to use next year to perhaps land someone of value. For the Spurs, at some point they will have to replace Barry and/or Finley. Still, irrespective of cap concerns, does it make sense to pay Wally Szczerbiak thirteen million dollars to be a bench player?

[ChumpDumper]

I will be VERY surprised if the Spurs execute a $20 million trade.

no.

You were not thrilled with the signing.

[Holt's Cat]

Incorrect.

[Ghost Writer]

I don't think the Spurs would trade for Wally without Thomas.

I don't think they should trade for Wally and Thomas.

I would hope they could just trade for Thomas.

But I would not be surprised.

[MoSpur]

Seattle might want to include Wally in a trade involving Thomas, but I doubt the Spurs take that on. Wally makes way too much. We're talking $13 million.

[nkdlunch]

Wally sucks. please God don't let this happen

[m33p0]

are you kidding me?

[Ghost Writer]

Read.

It's not something anyone wants to see happen.

But it could.

Sure, and Tim Duncan for Chris Bosh could happen too. BFD.

[ChumpDumper]

I thought you wanted Szczerbiak.

[Ghost Writer]

Phoooo.

You're the one -bent on K. Thomas over R. Artest, papichulo.

[picnroll]

Pop's trade committee would veto this as incomprehensible.

[ChumpDumper]

Phoooo.

Yes, you started a thread calling for a Sczcerbiak trade.

Phoooo, indeed.

[Holt's Cat]

Hey, at least Ghost has heard of Szczerbiak before, so obviously that would make this a great trade.

[ElNono]

Don't be surprised if we have to get Drew Gooden to get Lebron James.

Give to Get.

I'm just saying... don't jump if Gooden comes in a deal for James.

[Ghost Writer]

ElNon your vain attempt at humor makes absolutely no sense in this context. Lebron is a franchise player and Gooden would actually be a nice throw in, dope.

Why would Seattle just hand over Thomas without attempting to unload Szcerbiak, too?

Probably because someone doesn't have $20 mil in contracts they want to send out.

Cap, Salary. Learn it.
