Would you guys do this trade with OKC?

[KD_Stan]

Hello there honorable spurs fans,

I am an OKC fan and just wanted to know if you guys would consider this trade this summer with OKC with these being the core pieces and throwing in fillers to make salaries work if need be:

Nick Collison
Earl Watson

for

Bruce Bowen
George Hill


You guys would get a relatively young and solid PF off the bench in Collison and a solid veteran backup PG in watson who's 6 million expiring salary comes off the books next summer

For those of you that wouldn't do it, what would it take to sweeten the deal outside of durant, green, westbrook?

Thanks in advance

Pass. Watson would just be a very expensive backup to Tony Parker and a 1 year rental. Hill is locked up on the cheap for several more seasons so he's a much better value. Collison's a nice player, but the Spurs can go find someone just as good in free agency without having to give up anyone. The only guys on OKC's roster who would interest the Spurs are the guys you don't want to give up, so I don't think there's a deal to be made here.

Throw in Durant

Throw in Durant

Only if the Spurs include Bonner

No way, we had to trade our most valuable asset to get Bonner, no way we let him go that cheaply.

What was I thinking with my insulting counter-offer. Shall you forgiveth me?

I wouldn't mind Collison, but George Hill >> Earl Watson and well, Bruce Bowen is still Bruce Bowen

[Horryble]

I don't see Collison as a big upgrade of Oberto. And Watson would get limited minutes.

Bowen still offers something in the way of defense for 15-20 minutes and G Hill has a decent long term upside.

Short Answer: No

[KD_Stan]

Is there anything we could do to sweeten the deal?

Maybe include Kristic (who Pop just recently admitted he liked and considered as a signing)?

Or our late 1st rd pick?

Ironically "your" late 1st round pick is "our" late 1st round pick. But still, no, I don't think the Spurs are interested. It's not a great draft class and I doubt the Spurs will feel that anyone available late in the 1st will be worth a guaranteed contract.

Can't include Kristic because his salary, combined with Collison's & Watson's is way more than the Spurs can absorb without having to send like 8 players back just to get the salaries to match.

I'd have to say no to this deal as well, its just not enough to convince me to give up Hill.

i think these clowns should get back kurt thomas, and give back our draft picks we wasted on....
