Spurs/Sonics Collusion

[tuncaboylu]

Wasn't responding to CoachPop, was talking in general from earlier in this thread and your forum in general. However it is cocky to think that you deserve Kurt and Brent because you have won every championship and every game that has mattered in the whole existence of the NBA for the last 100 years.

I don't know how oftern you visit our Realgm forum, but there is no more than 10 guys there. You can't specify all the Spurs fans cocky by looking 10 guys' comments.

And about Kurt Thomas. If you think that Kurt Thomas is so valuable player, why did your GM sent him by putting 2 first rounders next to him?

You even didn't use him except Spurs series last year. Bot now some of you're comparing this trade with Gasol trade and some of you claims we didn't deserve him.

Ok then I will say the 10 guys there are cocky. I respect the Spurs team, but not its fans. Unlike say the Green Bay Packers where I respect their team and their fans. You guys respect yourselves and thats about it.

I don't think Kurt Thomas is that valuable. I would have rather kept Q-Rich (yes he was hurt, but hes on the Knicks so who knows what hurt means). However your team did pull a fast one though, not because it was Kurt Thomas, but because of how it happened. Dallas didn't get away with it, but you guys sure did.

I think its worse than the Gasol trade. That was a trade at least and not a back door deal. I think the Gasol trade is hyped too much anyway. It looks like a steal cause he goes from playing with spare parts to a legit team, where he does not have to be the 1 or 2 option.

How do you know what has been spoken behind the doors during Gasol trade? Giving Gasol up for his brother Marc, the worst 1st pick of the history Kwame and 2 late first rounders? Does he really worth that? Why didn't they wait till trade deadline and see what the other teams' offering?

Dallas was going to make similar trade with Nets, if only Stackhouse could learn to shut up. But he said that he's going to leave Nets and join to Dallas 30 days later; so Kidd trade was delayed.

Anyway. Spurs gave up enough materials for Kurt Thomas. There's no one sided deal in table. Maybe Spurs talked to Seattle about waiving Barry, I dont know. But it's not a problem also. Barry was useless for Seattle already.
