    The Spurs might not have gotten a star but they may have effectively stopped any notion of the Rockets acquiring Collision. Smart, low risk move for them.

    Hopefully for the kings they put a clause in the trade forcing the spurs to tell them who to draft. Otherwise they will eff that up to.

    Classic Spurs move in that if it works it really works, and if he flops they still have Mills so no one cares.

    I don't like the Spurs at all, but I feel that they are the best NBA organization. They are a threat to knocking GSW off, and winning it all.

    Something for nothing... As always, great move Spurs. Low-risk, high reward.

    Higher chance of reward vs signing an undrafted rook. You have a player who knows the ins and outs of the NBA and isn't afraid.

    Pg: Parker/Mills/Mccolom
    SG: Green/Ginobili
    SF: Leonard/ Kyle Anderson
    PF: Aldridge/ West
    C: Duncan/ Diaw

    All they need now is a banger to someone hold his own vs the Dwight Howards of the league and maybe one more 3D wingman.

    The Spurs do such a good job either:

    1) Finding talent other clubs undervalued
    2) Developing players
    3) Finding players that fit their system

    Maybe all 3. Who may or may not end up being productive for the Spurs, but you have to trust their organization, and this is a no risk move for them.

    If the Spurs signed Royce White, half the board would soil themselves telling us what a brilliant move the genius team of Pop & RC made and how they totally just screwed the Rockets for the perfect Josh Smith replacment as part of a master 14-dimensional plan.

    Then when the Spurs don't win the title next year (and i feel very confident in saying they won't), or fall far short of the Rockets accomplishments like they did this past year, it will all be forgotten or discounted.

    Part of the excellence in this move is that, if they do fail, then it's not a big loss. that's why it "will all be forgotten" to fans/media. If they had given up a first rounder, then people would question it more and it would likely come back to haunt them later on. People wouldn't forget that. That's why Morey gets so much **** over drafting Royce and not over the second rounders he's failed with.

    Every team in the NBA makes dozens of low risk moves in the course of the season.

    But when the Spurs do it, OMG it's teh SPURS, we should have done that! :rolleyes:

    The Spurs could acquire a ham sandwich and there would be people here tripping over themselves to call it a great pick up and suggest that it spells doom for the rest of the West.

    Crazy kids these days.

    This is a trader that proved one thing and one thing only.

    If this trade will be the same player from the Spurs to the Kings for their late second round pick say via the Clippers, people will say just exactly the same thing as what a steal for the Spurs and how dumb the King is as usual.

    Why? The Kings are probably bringing back Andre Miller as the 3rd PG. They didn't need McCallum on the bench without minutes.

    But the thing is, just MAYBE the Spurs have admitted their age has caught up with them.
    Turning the team over to Aldridge reflects an admission that Duncan, Parker and Ginobli can't carry them any longer. They will be good in spurts, but I'm not seeing 55+ wins this year.

    Morey has nothing in play. He is sitting on his hands waiting for the worst of the bunch to come along. Then he will pounce.
