We Trade Mobley, Cato and Mo taylor and get TIM DUNCAN and a pick a backup C in the draft. WOW!! who will stop us? Starters: C Yao G Francis G Moochie F Duncan F Posey I don't see any team that will be better than ours if our line up is like this.
When you get off that crack, let me know. There is no way that the Spurs are going to trade Duncan unless we give up Ming and #1. That's their cornerstone a.k.a Francis, Garnett, etc.
I think the only way the Spurs will consider trading Tim Duncan is if he tell them that he will not resign next year. And btw, I wouldn't trade Yao for Tim Duncan either. We already see what Tim can do (an MVP all star type) but Yao potentially can turn out just as good or even better. Plus Yao is 5 or 6 years younger than Tim.
It would be better if we traded Pete Mickeal and Colin Pine for Duncan -- an invisible man and an interpreter would be pretty easy to replace. Think the Spurs would go for that? Hell, let's throw in Bill Worrell to sweeten the pot.
