SPURS: Spurs Obtain Mohammed And Brewer

Well, Spurs fans, we all knew it had to happen. Malik Rose has been traded. New York gets our beloved 8 season standard and we get Nazr Mohammed and Jameson Brewer. New York also gets cash and our first round draft pick but the focus today here is on Malik.
He had just opened a Philly Cheese-Steak restaurant in San Antonio's celebrated Quarry Mall and had just sunk down some roots when he was savagely ripped out and tossed away.
In all fairness though Spurs fans have been deviated over whether or not he has been bringing his A game to the court. Says one San Antonio fan: "He gets mad at something the staff or Pop [Spurs coach Greg Popovich] says and doesn't play well for three games." Others expressed a growing concern for his inside game. "After all this time with out ball club you'd think he'd have found his spot by now," said another San Antonio fan.
Still, most expressed having a fond spot for the Spurs forward. "Malik has been there with us for all the best," said one fan. "He's our old standard." Others expressed outrage and hurled curses on decision makers who approved the last minute trade. "Those bastards don't know what they're doing," said one stunned fan. "This is going to mess us up bad."
Indeed. While a shocked pall hangs over San Antonio today as the news sinks in there is a strange calm. The wondering has ended and the smoke of the trading frenzy has passed. San Antonio has not made a mid season trade since 1996 and long time fans feel that this trade would have been better left for next season. "When it counts these new guys aren't gone cut it. We're heading into the play offs. You don't want to mess with things that have been working for you."
In the end all we can say is that time will tell whether or not this was a good idea. Until then, I'm going to go get me a cheese-steak out at the Quarry Market before that too is gone over night.
