In the meantime, the player the Spurs acquired from Seattle in exchange for Barry is en route to San Antonio, perhaps at the very moment you are reading this. Thomas is expected to arrive in time for tonight's game against New Orleans, though he obviously won't play
Bad team for him to start playing. The Hornets have the best record in the Western Conference. We need to insert players that are familiar with the Spurs' system.
"Obviously won't play?" Why the is that obvious? We need rebounding and D out there against the Hornets.

After reading this, it seams to me he will play.
If we traded for him Wednesday, why is he just now (today) arriving in San Antonio?
pack up his stuff, say his goodbyes, pass a physical etc..
i agree, see what happened to the mavs and JKidd...at least the spurs are at home though
I just have a gut feeling he'll play.
What the takes so long to get a flight, pack some stuff, get to SA then get a damn physical?
He will play if for no other reason that to get his feet wet. If he can't play now, he never will.
Exactly! I was wondering why it's taking him so long to get here? The Western Conference is stacked this season so I would of thought that he needs to get here ASAP and start his education on the Spurs system. Taking almost a week to get here is kinda long don't you think? That said glad to have you on the team Mr Kurt Thomas.
I love Thomas is on the team, but damn, would've been the perfect team to get his feet wet vs.
Match up against David West and do his thing and help out.
SOB..
You'd think the Spurs would have paid someone to pack his stuff up for him so he could get here quicker.
Heck I would have done it. Throw some crap into a bag, get to SA and start practicing. Heck, I would have lent him my laptop and he could have watched some SA game film on the plane.
Wasn't he supposed to practice with the Spurs on Friday? That's what I read somewhere...can't find the link right now...
So now they are saying that he has yet to arrive at San Antonio?
Oh, I was really hoping to see him play today!
greens...yeah, I read that too
personal business
Shoening said he'll be in uniform
He'll be with Bill on radio in some minutes
if he's in uniform he will get in
Here we go Thomas here we go!
Not sure about Thomas, But Bonzi won't be... and that's good news for the Spurs!
HE's Playing tonight! Saw him stretching
!!!!
No...he was traded to Orlando.![]()
3. Kurt Thomas to Orlando
The Seattle SuperSonics should trade Kurt Thomas to the Orlando Magic for Keyon Dooling, James Augustine and Pat Garrity. Thomas has been a trooper in Seattle, and Ol’ Crazy Eyes is currently standing in the way of all those unproven big men like Robert Swift and Johan Petro.
This trade would open up minutes for the kids and would allow Thomas one last shot at a ring and the Sonics to keep what they crave most—a strip-mined roster full of expiring contracts (and more cap room than Thomas alone would provide).
Why this trade matters? Pairing Thomas with Dwight Howard, aka Young Thunder, could have major, major playoff implications. Remember, Thomas is a guy who can defend Tim Duncan.
Editor’s note: Thomas was traded to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday for Brent Barry, Francisco Elson and a first-round draft pick in 2009.
