Would you do this deal?

SAS: Jacque Vaughen, Brent Barry, Francisco Elson, Ian Mahinmi, Ime Udoka, Rights to every foriegn product (including Tiago), two first round picks

SAC: Mikki Moore, Ron Artest, Beno Urdih.

SAS gets a defensive prescence, great player and good backup.

SAC gets young talent, expirings, two picks, and a lot of upside with the foriegn guys.

[J~Rush]

No way.

let's assume artest is automatically resigned at the end of the season to a 5 year deal.

not a chance...

I would do the deal without Splitter but I can't see Pop ok'ing the deal. Beno has found a nice little niche with the Kings and I think the Kings can get a better deal for Artest. Common... they just need to all the Knicks and they will send their 1st round unprotected pick for him.

[CoachPop]

No to giving up everything listed after Elson. Otherwise I like the deal.

I also think we can't trade for Beno again within the same year.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Is this trade scenario supposed to be taken seriously?

Nah... we know we won't trade a good part of our roster.

Pass on the deal. Why go for Udrih when he was traded out from the Spurs a few months ago. Also the Spurs lose depth with this deal.

Don't you think that maybe a massive deal with our bench might be in order? I am not really a big fan of making a big change but what if we just don't have it to really repeat? You know We made that trade line deal with Nazr and it was the difference due to his rebounding vs certain teams.

A couple of changes need to be done for this team, but to say massive changes...... I won't go too far in saying a massive change is a big neccessary. In the case of the Rose and 2 first round picks to NYK for Mohammed and Brewer. It was a neccessary trade to do since it appear that Rose was showing signs of being worn down from playing at a position that is demanding for a player that was under height(6'7 245-250lbs). The two picks were going to be late 1st round pics anyways so the Spurs had reasons to gamble on that at the time.

To your second question. If the Spurs make those minor trade deals and still come up short. Then I would look for them to address their bench on making improvements in the offseason.

[Ballings7]

Well, changes to the bench are coming regardless of winning the title or not. Because of the situations with Barry (if still on the team), Finley, Elson (if he's still on the team), Horry, and Splitter/Mahinmi moving in, and possibly the draft pick. With one of Splitter/Mahinmi being in the rotation to a certain extent.

we dont want beno back
