Buyout Watch...

**SAGirl** · 12-23-2016

Shuffling this deck isn't going to fix the fact that an ace is missing.

Good point....in a few words.
We have Pointe this out when indicating trading any if the guys at the end of the rotation, the very end, doesn't change the fact that the ones higher up are not good enough. The guys at the end are fine for their roles. And some of them in other teams could be playing more right now. It's probably in your guys 1-8 where you are likely to have dead weight on any given night.

An old, worn out bag.

So there's hope.

I realize this is just another ignorant ass troll attempt from the 100 alt group, but the Spurs struggle to put points on the board with Bogut. They get better defensively though. He looked better than he was in GS because of his moving screens and having two sharp shooters roaming the perimeter, he was often wide open for the PnR.

If Bogut get's bought out he will go to one of Cleveland (they lost Mozgov), Spurs, Bulls, Rockets, or Clippers. As for the Mavs, time to blow it up and rebuild.

Hey, you never know. Boris was a pretty good find in 2012.

You're a Chicago fan. What are the chances of the Bulls wanting a trade to get Pau back? How about Taj Gibson plus some signed Jordan memorabilia to balance the money?

Bogut sucks at PnR defense but he can sag & protect the rim rather than being a statue like Pau.

Nope, i actually value Aldrdge, but if he is not working out as we expect him, we better move on now, Bogut is a good replacement for this season alone.

I would trade Pau, not LMA

**tbdog** · 12-23-2016

Leppo and Forbes are a waste of space this season. Neither will get playoff minutes and I am unsure Pop will trust Bertans either. The question is though, is there any player out there that will beat out Manu, Simmons, Anderson, Lee, Dedmon, and Parker/Mills for rotation minutes? If there isn't, there is no point signing a player and letting go Leppo or Forbes. You just don't do that if you are not going to give playoff minutes to any of your recent signies, like the Miller's last year. Should have just kept Butler.

True but Bogut is injury prone.....

Candidates: Humphries, Splitter, Foye, Scola, Bogut, Williams, Miller, Varejao, Seraphin, Calderon, Novak, Payne, Meeks, Tucker, Casspi, Thornton.

Bogut, Williams (most likely to stay put, but Cavaliers could interest him) Tucker and Casspi, should be able to fetch something via trade. If they get bought out though, Spurs would probably have most interest in and best chance at Casspi.

You could make the case for another wing shooter or big, but no one in particular jumps out.

Spurs have to feel more comfortable in the front court than they do at the wing, especially with Manu needing to be coddled. For as solid as Simmons has been lately, when Golden State or Houston goes small, Spurs desperately need another two way wing. PJ Tucker or Casspi can help a lot more than any big that might be on the market.

Agreed. A legit rotation player, that could fill a need, makes more sense than balancing out the roster. In the absence of that though, balancing out the roster (preferably with a young player that they could work with through the summer) wouldn't be a bad idea, especially with a roster spot now open.

PJ Tucker,

39.4fg%, 34.2 3P%

"3&D guy"

Putting up 6 & 5 in 27 minutes

.060 WS/48

He's a worse player than Kyle. That should tell you all you need to know.

Another casualty of his own inflated ego. One of these days some of these MacDonalds All-Americans will realize that they would be much better off if they went someplace other than Kentucky and stayed for more than one year.
