Before he was traded to the Suns. The deal was Barkley for Terry Cummings and Willie Anderson. It was vetoed by the Spurs owner who didn't want to pay Barkley.
Barkley for 2 role players!
Robinson/Barkley/Elliot front line, with Avery Johnson/Dale Ellis backcourt. Could they have beaten the Bulls?

Wow. They could've had a great chance to beat them with Charles playing so good and Robinson at his best.

Re: Charles Barkley was nearly traded to the Spurs in 1992
Iverson was almost traded to the Wolves but at the last minute we refused to trade Foye (06/07 before he even played a game)
Good gosh that would of been a killer combo.
Or imagine that the Wolves never traded Allen for Marbury....Garnett + Allen both in their PRIMES
Dumbass organization. At least we got the chance to emulate all that with Wiggins and Towns.

Re: Charles Barkley was nearly traded to the Spurs in 1992
He was almost traded to the Lakers around that same time. I remember Barkley mentioning it once.

Terry Cummings was dope but he fell off right after 92 coincidently

How did I not know this? Probably for the best. Could have screwed our chances at Duncan years later.
I know he also almost went to the Blazers.

I guess that makes Jordan the unquestioned GOAT for winning six rings with a Roy Rogers and second round pick level player as his sidekick. Originally Posted by The Immortal

Re: Charles Barkley was nearly traded to the Spurs in 1992
Knowing Chuck's personality, some teams probably did not want him for his antics and seeing what the Suns gave up for him, he probably forced his way there...
Would have won at least 1 title with D-Rob in 94 IMO.

Chuck had the sickest 1st quarter in the history of the sport. Unfortunately it was against my team.

Re: Charles Barkley was nearly traded to the Spurs in 1992
Correct. Barkley had developed a reputation as a headcase and a hot head; teams were hesitant about taking a chance on him. But his talent was never in question. Originally Posted by ImKobe

In retrospect, it's a good thing this didn't happen.
