Last week we asked, “Who should the Spurs trade?”
The responses were interesting. Everyone on the roster got at least one vote, except Manu Ginobili. Out of 78 votes cast, the leading vote getters were: Michael Finley (11), Beno Udrih (10), Eric Williams, Robert Horry and Jackie Butler (9).
Apparently the Spurs won’t be trading anyone, given the latest rumours from San Antonio.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who has the final say on his team’s personnel decisions, recently told his players there won’t be a trade involving his rotation before the February 22 deadline. With such a glaring need for athleticism in San Antonio’s effort to keep up with the Suns and Mavericks in the West, it is difficult to believe the Spurs would bypass an opportunity to upgrade.
I’m surprised by this news, and left wondering, what does Pop know about his team, or the Mavericks and Suns, that no one else knows? Don’t be surprised if the Spurs make a trade anyway. Stay tuned.
