Williams has no Potential whatsoever
This kid is a keeper. Come on Holt Cat, pony up mofo.
Williams has no Potential whatsoever
keep williams waive beno or trade for a trade exception
yeah lets keep Beno...
They won't keep 4 PGs, and Williams may be cut anyway. The only way that might work is if Washington's a Toro all year.
It's much easier for Holt to eat Williams partially guranteed deal then Beno's final year.
I agree, can't see them keeping 4 points. They've got to clear a roster spot, so it's either cut Williams and his non-guaranteed contract or waive/trade Beno.
Whatever they do, they better do it fast.
Yeah, but that may be the plan already. Just because they might cut Williams doesn't mean they'll fill that 15th spot.
Yeah trading Beno is the best option... can they find a taker though?
1. If we must get rid of Beno to get Washington, then yes to the 1000th.
2. If we must get rid of Marcus, then no.

^^ Yeah you're right.
Waive Beno!!!!!!!!
maybe since everyone wants to waive beno they can email the front office...............
The third option is that we could trade Barry and his expiring deal (or Barry and Beno together). With Brent gunning like crazy this preseason, and with his deal only running through this season, some team with a need for shooters (ahem, the Clippers) might have interest.
Trade Barry for what....
I'm just creating more topics for conversation. Everyone is focusing on "Waive Williams" or "Trade Beno" but we could also look to Trade Barry. Or Trade Barry AND Beno together.
Would we consider the Beno/Barry for Maggette discussion again? We'd be REALLY full at the wings then, but it'd be a great value.
Interesting point. With Shaun Livingston out, the Clips may be in need of a backup PG behind Cassell.
More importantly, the Clippers are a team in dire need of 3 point shooting. Barry has been on fire all preseason. The tandem of Beno and Barry would give them a couple more ball handlers as well as a deep threat....and both on expiring deals. It sounds like a match made in heaven for the Clippers. Now the only problem is "what do they have that we want?"
The Clips did go out this offseason and sign a few spare PGs (Dan au, Brevin Knight) so Udrih might simply be redundant. But surely Barry could fill a role on that team quite quickly. And with the signing of Ruben Patterson and the drafting of Al Thornton it looks like Maggette's future is uncertain.

Barry is about to retire. He's only going to be good to another team at the trading deadline for his contract. I think we should keep him for his last year. To trade him away now seems very uncool. Also he's more productive than Finley and I think we'll need him this year.
I like the deal in theory, but from the Spurs vantage point, Maggette doesn't shoot as well or from as deep as Barry. Therefore, he doesn't open up the floor for Tim. It seems Pop really likes having Barry and his 3-pt arsenal at his disposal. Barry opens up the floor for Tim - big time.
I don't know how Maggette would fit in minutes-wise with Finley, Manu, and Bowen taking a lot of minutes - plus they deserve a lot of minutes since it will take time for Maggette to figure the Spurs system out. I guess Maggette might be willing to take one for the team, lower his minutes, not complain, concentrate on defense, because he would have a good shot at winning a Championship. I doubt he exercises his player option for 2008-2009, but if the Spurs would get any of his Birds rights - he might give the spurs some sign-and-trade options next offseason. That would be fun. Probably your standard .00001% of happening, but it's fun to talk about it, I suppose.
I just don't see Barry getting traded at this point. The team may be sentimental about it, but they're going to let him retire as a Spur.
The easiest solution would seem to be to waive Williams and keep Washington. At this rate, by the time Williams realizes any potential he may have, it will likely be with another team anyway. Meantime, the Spurs have to eat his roster spot. Not a good tradeoff for the Spurs.
That's one possible solution, but you're asking R.C. to "burn one of his picks" in favor of keeping 4 PGs. Don't see that happening.
