Hey Swass, just cause I'm in a debate, doesn't mean I'm worked up. I can have a debate without getting worked up. Thanks for your high regards of me.

wake152, jt09's right. Francis is a point, but likes to shoot a lot.

jt09, I think if the Spurs go far, or if they win it all, I doubt they would deal for Kidd. It just doesn't make sense...not to me anyway.

NorCal, yeah, totally! BUT...Payton could take a low salary, like a lot of players do just to win a ring.

I actually heard that Payton wants to come play for the Blazers. Its just a rumor, but I think that would be awesome! I don't understand why the Spurs want Kidd, they have Parker and he is a pretty good point for how young he is. Plus he is just going to get better as he matures.

I don't think Payton would though. He's an outright all-star and it wouldn't say much for him to take that paycut. Payton isn't in the last year of his career, so he doesn't need to make the Richmond comprimise.

Well, a possible reason the Spurs want Kidd is that he is the best point guard in the NBA.

Jt09- how can you say Duncan needs a big man? He is a big man. They have the tools but I don't think they have the depth.

San Antonio has decent depth in my opinion. Also depth is over-rated as the Lakers have one of the worst benches in the league and were able to win some championships.

Duncan is a big man, but who else do they have? Robinson is gone after this year...not that he is any help at all to begin with. Rose is an overacheiver who has one good game out of three. Duncan is a great 4, I'd like to see a solid 5 like Olawokandi come in to help that front line. I'd even be cool with Brand coming in at the 4 and playing Duncan at the 5. I think you need 3 solid big men down low to be good. A stud, a good player and a capable sub.

SA does have decent depth but not up front. Duncan plays 39 minutes a game (too much). Robinson has been out for over a month and isn't coming back -he's only playing 27 min a game with 9 pts and 8 boards. Rose only gives them 23 min, 9.6 pts and 6.3 boards a game. A good big man would help..not a big $$$ guy, but a solid 30 min player.

The Lakers don't count when talking about conventional depth. When Shaq and Kobe are 2 of your starting 5, me, Chrissylicious and Aubs could win 60 games and get through the first round in the West. Hell, we could probably make the East Finals.

I think Ginobili and Jackson are doing OK, but Jackson has been a mullet for a couple of years before having a decent year and there have been whispers about Ginobili for ROY, but I think he is a couple of years away from being a real NBA 2. They need some wing help at the 3...amybe a combo guy like Sprewell (NOT Sprewell, but that style player who can play and guard both the 2 and 3).
