Denver Fans want Manu....

PrintAnd they want to give us Kenyon Martin in return! I know, it's a deal that we as Spurs fans could hardly pass up. I think this is something the Spurs should seriously consider. Thanks to LAX Inc. for the find. Here is the article and comments about what these savvy Nuggets fans are willing to give us for the barely worth a 6th man spot Manu Ginobili.
I know Kenyon Martin would do wonders for the Spurs. We could always use guys who can't hit a shot outside of 6 feet and that are defensive liability can dunk and scream like crazy. I know this would dramatically increase the Spurs popularity amongst the thug population. It's really a win win move for the Spurs. Get an athlete and get rid of some cheap foreign guy.
I know I can't wait to see that "lip" tattoo all season long and deep into the playoffs!
We don't need this lame guy anymore.
It's time for the Great K-Mart to take us to the promised land.

Wow...
Now this was funny! Thanks for posting this. I checked out the article and laughed my ass off.

Hilarious. Just goes to show, aaaaaaalllllllllllllll these people HATE Manu soooooooo much; but then would be willing to do anything to get him if they thought the option was there. Always cracked me up about fans.

The salaries dont exactly, uh…. match up. Now, if they were saying Nene, it would at least be a technically sound idea. It would still be stupid from the Spurs’ perspective, but at least the salaries would make sense. I coutered them with Finley for Balkman, haha.

That’s awesome. To really put this in perspective for them, we should have offered Bonner for Chauncey or Melo.

No reason to go over there and be an ass. You can’t mock people on their on site for being delusional. I’d get mocked off my own site. Seriously, who buys a George Hill jersey.

To be clear, I’m not saying anybody WAS being an ass over there. I just didn’t want us starting a stampede of mockery.

And really, it’s beneath PtR. Seriously? Trolling a DENVER THUGGETS blog??! Did that site even exist previous to April? Let ‘em go, fellas. We’re better than even giving comments like that credibility by responding to them.
If anything, we should be anonymously feeding the national media “credible” rumors of this deal so that the people of Colorado get all excited and delusional, only to have their hopes and dreams come crashing embarrassingly down when Manu himself is forced to respond to the stories and publicly laughs hysterically.

Yes, it may be hard to believe, but there have been Nuggets fans around since before their run to the WCFs this season!!! haha
I don’t think there is a Nuggets fan alive who actually would look at the post with anything but sarcasm like y’all (Texas inspired!) have done.
Even the author himself was being sarcastic. It’s fun to have a nice laugh over the summer and throw out random ideas …

All in fun
Random ideas? Hmmm … we might have one or two of those.
Thanks for stopping by. Looks like we could have used the reality check earlier in the day.
I want my Manu!
I apologize to you and the other six nuggets fans who have followed the team previous to April whom my comment might have offended. Thanks for dropping in though; truly, you do good work over at the Axe.
No worries, deep within my cynical skeptical bitter dark and morbid heart, I suspected/hoped that the poster was being facetious. We had a post awhile back about trading Tony Parker that was also written with the same jest and frivolity.

Other 6???? Ouch! haha.
I hope that Manu (even though I can’t stand him b/c he’s murdered the Nuggets twice in the playoffs) comes back as close to 100% as he can.
It’s not the same Spurs team without him (obviously) and I know how much it sucks not having your best players on the floor.
Very interested to see what the Spurs do this offseason.

If this happened… and I was forced by circumstance to start watching the Nuggets more often, and maybe even (gasp) root for them when they’re not playing against the Spurs…
…
Seppuku might be the only option.

Who ordered up the stupid?
Time to put on my Bill Simmons hat. “I can’t come up with a reason why Denver wouldn’t do this trade. They’d have to be idiots to say no to that. I mean its Ginobili, they could use an all-star player, who can create his own shot, is one of the game’s best closers and can hit the open three and defend. And all they’d have to give up is K Mart. Clearly that means that this trade should and will happen. Case closed. Bill, me, has spoken. I am so smart. Never has there been a more well-defended or sound argument about basketball than the one I just wrote. Go Celtics!!” -BS

Not if you have a tatoo of a lip, it doesn’t.

maybe Duncan should a bad ass looking wizard tattooed on his arm.

Supposedly worst tattoos in the NBA. What he writes about Duncan’s is stupid.

Wait… this is a joke?… we’re not really getting hot lips?
This was the only trade that made sense to me. OMG, I can’t even write that without throwing up in my mouth.
Forgive me for the joke, your Manuness.

Oops
I guess my fanpost has upset some of the Denver fans sensibilities and finely tuned class-o-meters. They’re starting to get restless over there.
Too bad that JR Smith trade fell through a few years ago
That wouldve been amazing
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
I know personally I couldn’t be more excited about acquiring a guy who shot 3-23 in Game 6 of the 2003 Finals in exchange for a washed up has-been whitebread Euro flopper.
Give a man a chicken and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to chicken and he'll call you crazy and question your command of the English language.
i love the crazy trade ideas. especially when it’s spurs fans.

Derogatory Comments
I noticed that the Denver fanpage has a thing saying that if you make derogatory comments about anyone on the team that you will be kicked out. Is that true for here too?
Like if I say, “Jacque Vaughn is poopy,” does that get me site banned? Jacque Vaughn is poopy.

We kinda use the Momma rule here. We can talk about our Momma, but someone outside of the family will be dealt with the Sopranos way. Capice?
JK, We all do a pretty good job of policing ourselves.
