Great trade, congrats!

You´re a Splitter away of have the greatest team in NBA history (at least on paper).

RJ is a streaky shooter, but hes good from the corners like bowen. Hes mainly a slash-first player though, if he sees an open lane his diving for it looking to get to the line or get the and 1. His only problem was sometimes he would stop playing defense, but i think the spurs environment will change all that, he also becomes passive sometimes so they need to run plays for him occasionally, otherwise hes looking to get his points on the fast break.

The Spurs need to sign Sheed and then bring Splitter over. Then, they'll be back to championship form.

Very good trade Spur fans. Now, the rest of the West has to be a bit worried, I know I am as a Dallas fan. RJ was just mentioned on our board by some of the posters who wanted us to make a move for him, and now today we find out you're Spurs have acquired one of the games best shooters.

Get some size inside to help Duncan, stay healthy, and the chances of you going deep into the playoffs will happen.

Nice trade for the Spurs! And a decent one for Milwaukee, if they decide to keep all 3.

Great trade for the Spurs. Who the hell is running the Bucks - LMFAO. Wow just wow. I can't describe it with words.

Spurs lost a little defense but gain a ton on offense. RJ is a warrior and should jell pretty well with Pops way of doing things.

The Bucks made the trade, so they can re-sign their free agents (Villanueva and Sessions).

Very good trade, especially if Bruce comes back. He's still got some left in the tank.

Terrible deal for the Bucks. It's time for them to rebuild.

I'm a big, big Lakers fan and I love this trade for the Spurs. Lets shoot for seven game in the western conference finals in 2010

Another wily move by a classy organization! For being the good guys, karma will pay dividends and no body in your crew will have an injury this year! We don't really love the Spurs, but we do hate the Lakers :)

Now complete the offseason with another one of your foreign acquisitions who is very-NBA ready to complete your frontcourt.

I like Bowen too, and if he does come back to San Antonio, all the better.

This is a great move for the Spurs. And well needed considering how things have been for a minute. Improving at the SF position in RJ helps the Spurs out athletically on both ends of the floor. More weapons the better for the SA Spurs. Great move.

All they need to do now is either draft a SF or sign him in FA and get a PF and C to help better their roster and the Spurs can find themselves back in the Finals albeit any injuries.

You guys .... :-?

Well, it doesn't make me happy for the Mavs, but that was a really good move. Younger legs, another scoring threat, cost you some depth but way improved the top of the rotation. You can pick up a solid big for the rotation with the MLE ... Duncan probably feels 3 years younger right about now. Which is the most important thing of all in this trade.

Nice job.

Bitter Jazz fan here. Wish the Jazz would do something cool. Only question mark is the size of the Spurs. Good on ya.
