Duncan still trade bait

["Lance Gee" <FrannieG@msn.com>]

People are giving up too early about getting Duncan.  First of all Duncan 
cannot play power forward in the NBA.  He will get pulvarized by Malone and he 
is not fast enough to get up and down the floor.  Secondly the Spurs at best 
would finish 4th behind Utah, Los Angeles, and Houston because they have no 
backcourt and no bench.  Lastly the Spurs owner Peter Holt is a cheapskate and 
will be unwilling to pay 2 franchise centers what they are worth (~20 Mill).
He wants Duncan so he can built that new arena.

MSNBC is already reporting trade rumors between Seattle - Duncan for Kemp.  
Duncan will not like playing back-up center to Robinson.  Our deal is the best 
because San Antonio can get two quality college players without messing up 
their salary cap.  They could get Mercer and Daniels, then pick up a power 
forward on the free agent market after dumping Smith.  

Lastly picking an immature high school player who has not even proven himself 
against Division 1 college players is a lot more risky than taking Foyle who 
has at least proven himself.  Let's let Pitino worry about developing him.  
Remember you can't teach height.  And one more thing...Let's reacquire 
Montross.
