As you can see, the Spurs have quite a few expiring contracts in Roger Mason Jr., Theo Ratliff, Micheal Finley, Ian (team option), and Matt Bonner. That's about 11 million dollars worth of trade value. I just read an article by Tim Varner, http://www.48minutesofhell.com/2009/07/31/a-night-of-ugh/#more-3782, where he writes that if the Lakers prove to have too much talent, the Spurs might try to move these guys to acuire another player. Do you think that the Spurs will move any of these guys for an athletic 5 or a long defensive 3 (to guard the likes of Odom)?
