It's to make sure they have the body in the playoffs that can give help and hit jumpers in case Horry doesn't snap into his "All I do is win championships" mode.
I dont like the trade they do get some benefit from it. Barry is a really good shooter to have around duncan and elson is a decent big body but yeah thomas is better. Spurs should of kept the rights to scola. I dont think it is that big of a deal but we will see if it changes anything.
EXCELLENT trade. Elson was doing almost nothing. And Barry was very streaky with his 3 point shot. He also would force his offense whenever he got on the floor. Now they have someone to help with Shaq and the Laker bigs. But remember, this is not necessarily in repsonse to the Shaq trade....they've tried to get Thomas before with no results. It's just that now is the best time with the West getting bigger.
