Cavs beat Spurs again!

Bennie and I sat in the second row. The view of Eva Longoria was fantastic. I wonder if she knew we were sitting in her seats! I think the dude sitting next to us was a scout.

I got curious and looked at their roster, pegging Beno Udrich as a guy we might be wiling to take a flyer on at point guard. What would it cost us? Well, I thought to get a guy like Andre Miller we would for sure have to give up Varejoa. But Beno? I would hope we could get him for Sasha and Snow. It would probably be a package deal. I think they might have interest in Sasha because the Spurs really need some youth and athleticism on the wing. All this was just in my mind, of course, until I came across this little tidbit in the San Antonio Express:

"Do the Spurs look to make any type of trade before the deadline and who might they look to deal?

–Joseph Rodriguez, San Antonio

The Spurs are always looking at possible deals before the trade deadline. Finding one that works, however, is the hard part.

In the past three seasons, the Spurs have made one Deadline Day trade (Malik Rose for Nazr Mohammed) and had two others all but done before they collapsed (Rose for Kurt Thomas; Brent Barry for J.R. Smith). You can probably expect to hear three names come up in conversations this season: Eric Williams (he has an expiring contract); Jackie Butler (he’s young and not playing); and Beno Udrih (he has a cheap contract, he’s young, he’s skilled and he seems to have signed a three-year lease in Pop’s doghouse).

Barry surfaced in last week’s talks regarding Los Angeles Clippers’ swingman Corey Maggette, but the Spurs have been reluctant to move him – at least in that deal – because he’s finally playing like they hoped he would when they
signed him."

According to Bennie we were sitting next to this fellow:
