Post #1 » by **UCF** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 11:20 pm

Not saying this is absolutly a done deal.... But I am watching Espn and they just had a news flash that Kurt Thomas is on his way to the Spurs. They are making the trade call now.

Interesting note in the Yahoo article:

"The Sonics, who also considered an offer from the Orlando Magic for Thomas, have now generated three first-round draft picks from Rashard Lewis

Thomas to me is a clone of something we already have in Battie. I can see why we didn't make the deal, and honestly I don't think Thomas is worth a first round pick.

Thomas has more junk yard dog in him, has a better knack for rebounding and plays a more classic style of ball, which may or may not include dirty fouls if those types of things exist...

Yeah no point giving up a first round pick for a 3 month rental until Battie gets back... so looks like we got out bid.

It was always going to be hard to trade with them unless we wanted to take one of their overpaid PG's...

theTHIEF · Post #15 » by **theTHIEF** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 11:27 pm

nope i think it's a 2009 first rounder...

Optimus_Steel · Post #16 » by **Optimus_Steel** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 11:28 pm

Some people are saying first rounder, others 2nd rounder. So which is it?
