Would you rather the Spurs end up with Kidd or O'Neal?

    Just a question I wanted to throw out there for everyone to ponder.

    It is more than likely the Spurs will end up with one of these two great players.

    Which acquisition makes it tougher for the Rockets to beat the Spurs and advance?

    O'Neal would give us more problems.

    I would rather see Jkidd in this state...then if he hits his wife again...he's history...off to florida with him. Oneal...in Tx?!

    The spurs seem to be good enough, to not need to pay for Jkid's contract...come on...they just won the NBA finals...

    They should take O'Neal. His skills are more redundant with Duncan's. If they get Kidd...can you say dynasty.

    Kidd should go to some crap team like Golden State or just retire...otherwise, I think, he will give us some trouble during the next years!

    I would rather have the Spurs with Kidd. Duncan and O'neal would be a nightmare to defend against!

    However, I firmly believe that the Spurs will get NEITHER!

    There is all this HUGE talk about the Spurs getting one big star player but I bet the Spurs end up with someone like Brad Miller or Rasho Nesterovic paired with a Corey Meggettee. I think the Spurs will use their money on two solid guys versus one superstar. And I feel it will be because the superstars will stick with their teams and thus force the Spurs to look elsewhere. I feel Kidd will stay in NJ and ONeal will stay in Indiana.

    Neither.

    but if I had to, O'Neal.

    Kidd is a superstar, O'Neal is one of many good Power Forwards in the West (I know, he can play C, but I think he is a natural PF) for a team that has the best PF ever already.

    Kidd and Duncan together scares me.

    What does it matter? Without David Robinson, the Spurs haven't got a chance of sucking.

    I think you are probably right. The franchise guys don't up and move that much. The best job I can remember anyone with cap room doing was Orlando getting Hill and McGrady. They did a great job getting some stars (too bad Hill was so injured), but their #1 guy, Duncan, didn't move. And, McGrady was practically begging to be let in before the free agent period even opened. Will San Antonio pitch better than Orlando did?

    This seems like a difficult question but my money is on Kidd.

    O'neal who has shown signs of superstardom but failed to get his team out of the first round of the Leastern Conference against a weak Celtics team.

    The bigger question is, are the Spurs even interested in Kidd?
