Smith just isn't motivated! People forget Smith was guarding opposing teams best man also when the Knicks was winning an Shumpurt was hurt! Smith by creating his own shot would open oup sooooo much. All that standing an waitibg for Tony to kick it to you that grewn does. He sucks! Can dribble to save his life or creates a shot. Green aint even near a motivated Smith's level. How quickly some of you dump fucks forget!

If Smith isn't motivated after 9 seasons in the NBA and nearly being out of the league all together nothing will. Watching the Mavs @ Spurs game George Karl was asked about Smith and he (sugar coating it) called him immature. He coached him for much of his time in the NBA. Green is a far superior defender and shooter.

Smith needs the ball to score. Its a completely different mentality from having the ball in ones hand to waiting on the wing for someone to pass to. I don't think he would be better than Green was.

Green is one of the 5 most accurate (active) 3pt in the NBA for his career. He shot 43% (nearly 10 percent better than the league average) and made 177 3's (7th in the NBA). He was big reason why the Parker-Green-Leonard-Splitter-Duncan lineups worked so well.

Smith is a volume shooter and continues to make mistakes on and off the court.

I can't think of a single rational reason why the Spurs would want this overrated chucker JR Smith. And even Shumpert. He is a typical New-York-overrated type of a player. Just remember Steve Novak, Landy Fields.. Where are they at now, huh?

I literally forgot Landry Fields was still in the league.

Pop is his love with him, value is low as hell, Bonner + 2nd imo should be enough. It's definitely intriguing... And like Jermaine said he can really play D if he feels like it... It's kind of a no brainer... As far as potential upside goes, it's as good as it gets...

his play alone makes him undesirable, let alone his contract. Manu, Marco, Leonard, and Green are going to combine for less than 17 million next year. any minutes that smith gets will come out of these guys' minutes, and he'll be making good money while doing so. no thanks

Jeff Green would be a decent upgrade. He doesn't really do anything for the Celtics and will probably never live up to his original hype. He's just an above average player. But for the Spurs, they get someone athletic who is desperately needed against the younger and more athletic teams like the Thunder and Warriors.

Kevin Garnett last season said that Jeff Green is going to be one of the greatest players in the game/ever. I'm not sure of the quote word for word, but I thought it's one of the dumbest things I've heard. Green is good, but he ain't that good. I still think that he's an above average starter and nothing more. I have no freaking idea what KG was on about, or what he was basing his opinion on.

Jeff Green has no place in a healthy Spurs rotation. He's not starting at the three unless Leonard moves to the two. And he hates playing the four full-time, since that's what he did in OKC. So he'd be a bench combo-forward, and not even in the sixth-man role. That's too small of a role for him to make that kind of money in.

The team may as well try to get a pick for taking on Gerald Wallace's albatross.

The difference between 3 and 13 in the East isn't that big. Philadelphia is 13th this morning and they're only 7 games back of the 3 seed. New York (having won 6 of its last 7) and Brooklyn (having won 5 of its last 6) are tied for 8th and are each only 4.5 games out of the 3 seed (and the Atlantic Division lead) after their horrendous starts.

Parker was asked about these rumors on his radio show and he said that he heard nothing about it, that Spurs like stability and don't do trades unless it makes them better. He said at the same time that he wouldn't be surprised if Spurs do a trade since they are trying to win it all and that the window is closing. Parker also said that there is a meeting every season before the trade deadline between Pop, Timmy, Manu and him to talk about it but that it hasn't happened for the moment this year.

Hoops Czar

01-14-2014, 07:13 PM

Bass and Bradley??? LMFAO. I thought the Spurs were trying to improve. What a joke.

If you don't see Bradley as an upgrade over Green, you're stuck in parallel universe. Green has been mostly dysfunctional this year. Teams are playing him tight, not allowing him to get clean looks at the basket. His handles are terrible and when he tries to create, he looks like Splitter 2.0. His defense is so grossly overrated that most of the time, posters have to revert back to last year's postseason to remember Green's lockdown moments. he's had a couple of decent games defensively this year but then again, it could have been an off shooting night by the opposing player. Last year,s Green was more of an aberration and not the norm. It's probably already too late to sell high on Green.

As it is, the Spurs have no assets other than a bunch of useless expirings that won't net much in returns. If you think other teams are lining up to take the Spurs junk in return for quality players, then, the joke is on you. if you want something of value, you'd better be willing to part with someone that has value.

I'm not really for Spurs doing a big trade for a player like Jeff Green or Thadeus Young where they would have to give up first round pick and/or 2015 cap space.

I think Spurs should target a smaller trade for a SF or mobile PF where they won't have to give up too much. Players like Mike Dunleavy, Brandon Bass, Marvin Williams or Tayshaun Prince are all good targets for me. It will allow Spurs to improve the end of their rotation without giving up too much to do so.

The only way Spurs should consider JR Smith is if agree to decline his 2015-2016 player option before being traded. It would first be a sign he is willing to salvage his career and, for Spurs, JR Smith without his 15-16 salary is a considerable lower risk than with his current contract.

01-14-2014, 09:01 PM

We've seen how clowns play out in the Spurs system with the SJax fiasco. Pop is too stubborn to let any players ego outweigh the game or the system. For that reason alone, I don't think there's a chance in hell that they trade for him.

Though NY could use a playmaker like Nando and giving a Miami competitor a leg up might be strategically sound, we have enough shooters and I don't know that Smith brings anything else to the table.

Utah might be interested in Joseph or De Colo and saving a little money is always nice. Now, I'm not saying they will do it and that's why I've given multiple names (there might also be other interesting target, the list isn't exhaustive). Among all these players, one might be available for a package that doesn't include a first round pick or the rights to Bertans or Jean-Charles.

Berger did say the Spurs were being "unusually aggressive." In my mind that means they might be willing to give up a bit more in a trade than you're suggesting, but only if it brings back the right player, I suppose. An end of the rotation player certainly seems more likely.

JR Smith can turn us into the best smallball team in the league imo.

Its not like we are that far off. Houston, OKC and GSW probably all have better small ball rotations but were are certainly still a better team than two of those.

Smith would be like RJ. An athletic scorer who struggles to fit in with out the ball. Manu & Parker have the ball with Duncan getting touches in the post. If he can't shoot from outside (he can't seem to hit anything, anywhere this season) then he will struggle more so in San Antonio than in New York.

If this trade goes down for JR Smith, which is still unlikely, the Spurs will keep trucking along. There is no room for headcases on the team and they don't tolerate nonsense as we saw with Jax getting cut last year. Pop has liked Smith for sometime but contract wise never was feasible. We have a lot of dead space with our rotation, bench guys who only get burn in Austin. I can see a trade happening for Smith as a wild card, see if he falls in line and if he is willing to forego his player option than by all means.

Some good teams really start to have a a lot of speed, scoring and dynamism in their backcourt. Spurs guards better step up defensively to counter that.

Bruno

01-15-2014, 12:23 PM

Joel Anthony going to Boston is a sign that they aren't interested in opening cap space for this summer. It makes a potential trade for Green or Bass, in which Spurs main asset would be their expiring contracts, more unlikely.

Anthony gone also open the door at Bynum to Miami.

Golden State seems like a better team to me than OKC.

I would LOVE to see those guys meet in the 2nd round. Curry and Russell would drop 40 a game on each other. It would go 7 and we'd be waiting for the tired victor.

OKC-GS in the same bracket opposite Spurs would be the best case scenario. Throw Houston or Portland over there too.

Yeah, that's the hope. We're probably going to have to play one of those four teams in the 2nd round. Something like this though:

1. Spurs
2. OKC
3. Warriors
4. Portland
5. Houston

Would be nice. Let Portland and Houston's starters wear on each other for 6-7 games and then we knock off the winner, then hopefully the Thunder and GS take each other 7.

Letting boring trolls and dumb schtick dominate the forum while alienating decent posters for using an "offensive" word (one that has been used in the past and with great frequency) is selective moderating.

I think the Spurs would take Scola in a heartbeat as long as he was fine with just being a role player. He and Manu are still besties and Pop respects productive players which Scola has been through his NBA career. Scola doesn't rely on athleticism or hops, just his footwork, shooting touch and high bbiq so his career should extend through whatever next team he plays on.

I'd take him on the spurs all day, every day as long as we weren't breaking the bank...

I just don't care for being anticipated anymore. From Spurs wanting Miller, to Salmons, to Collison, to Varejao, to Tyrus Thomas, to Paul George, to Okafor, to Al Jefferson, to Mason being traded, to Blair being traded, etc.

Hell even signings have been flat. Corey Brewer, Andray Blatche, Josh Howard, Gustavo Ayon..

However, all of the moves they DID pull (Hill for Leonard, RJ for Jax, signing Diaw) took me off-guard.

Yes but for every good one you get you get 100 others of well can we do this trade with some trade machine that they dreamt up at home or in their sleep at night or on a video game and that takes up half the thread :lol. I agree some are very legit in here and some good sources and maybe a prediction (Some have inside INFO), that part is true for the most part but most of the speculation and can we do this or that trade for whoever they want is funny at times.

What is really :lol in this thread is the smart-asses that came here and say things like "look 23 pages". If you don't like this thread, nobody forces you to click on it and if there weren't at, every page, someone saying "look X pages", this thread wouldn't be 23 pages long.

Wow almost 24 pages of nothing.

Lol aggressively.

24 pages is more an indication of how boring the FO is than anything

Thank you. And like the amount of pages on here is indicative of what the Spurs are doing behind the scenes.

Nobody knows what they are doing behind the scenes though or what they are not doing, maybe they make a trade or maybe one falls through or on and on. Time will tell and the thread will live on to see many more days until the deadline passes. I guess it makes it interesting to speculate but who knows really?

If the thread goes on after the deadline and someone still saying hey maybe we can do this or they should have done this for such and such then it's time to worry about people :lol I can see it now, hey maybe we should trade for or what do you guys think about such and such after deadline.

I really appreciate these kind of threads. Although most are filled with self-fulfilling delusional excitement; as a Spurs fan, they're still fun to read, though.

Carry on.

If you guys haven't figured anything out yet...if a Spurs trade is talked about, it doesn't happen. It's when you don't hear anything that something just pops up.

If a trade happen it will be likely just before he trade deadline.

So, all the talks about Spurs doing nothing and this rumor being BS is premature.

Wait and see.

The Spurs aren't going to do any trade if they can't get value for what they're giving up. That makes it all the more likely that they wait until the end when teams that want or need to move an asset are more willing to do it.

Even so, Dunleavy is reportedly available. Wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs end up pursuing him.

Agreed... no one knows, but I find it hard to believe if there is a deal that makes them better and gives them another chance to get TD/Co. another ring, they wouldn't jump on it. The other side of it is finding someone who isn't a total headcase and would fit in not only their system on the court, but be a good fit in the locker room. I can't imagine in today's NBA that that is an easy thing to do.

The fact there is talks this early is a little odd (at least from what I remember) it seems you hear more near the deadline and especially in the off season when it comes to signing free agents and stuff.

:lol Bruno, you're taking this waaaaay too personally. Anybody that's been around here for any length of time knows you're nearly obsessive-compulsive (and I say this as a praise to your dedication to the matter) when it comes to trying to figure out what the FO will do next. The "Think Thank" sub-forum is nothing but a reflection of that, so I'm not surprised you find any criticism highly offensive.

Personally, I've been around these forums long enough and I'm going to disagree that this forum was ever largely spot-on on predicting FO moves (including the draft) with any precision. If we're talking about throwing all sorts of crap at the wall, then looking at what stuck once the moves are made, okay.

But what you need to realize is that if there's any mockery, it isn't on the trade talk, but on the "aggressively" rumor angle. After all, we have a full subforum, an "official" trade thread and then this thread, and this is the only one getting some slack.

IMO, anyways.

Nope, I'm not. I just find it lame and cocky to see posters, who contributes nothing to this board, coming to criticize. It's like posters saying that ST was better years ago.
Truth is this forum is as good as what people post here. If some posters would spend their time to contribute instead of whining/trolling/criticizing, this place would certainly be better.

Well, that's the reason this specific area was much more moderated. Some people just come to troll, period. Some posters were permabanned from this specific forum, while allowed to troll freely elsewhere.
Then there's just flat out bad posters, IMO... like PlayNando/apalisoc_9 :lol

I can't do fancy stuffs like pinking or banning poster from a specific forum. When it comes to posters, ban (temporary or definitive) is my only tool and I certainly don't want to overuse it.

And this kool dude certainly deserves to be banned but I refuse myself to step a foot into what happen in other sections like the NBA forum or the Club. I'm just trying to keep the Spurs section relatively civilized/readable.

Thank you for that at least. Yet those forums need it in the worst way too IMHO.

Yep, if DPG wants to be NBA's forum sheriff, he should call his uncle.

Well, if you almost all agree that he should be banned then I guess I could do it for the greater good. Start a thread about it in the NBA forum/Club.

Nah - he shouldn't be banned. Just pinked. That solves all the problems and allows us to laugh at him. Win/Win.

I've been on that site, The Club, long enough to know it needs some serious moderation, but I wouldn't want to do it. IMHO it's way out of control, and has been for some time now.
If I were moderating I'd end up banning myself. But Bruno does need some help.

Anyway, thread has reached its course and nobody is talking about Berger initial report:
- To talk about trade rumors/targets, there is the sticky thread.
- To talk about how the Club/NBA forum should be moderated, do it in these forums.

I'm closing this thread to avoid having 2 threads (this one and the sticky one) talking about the same subject at the same time.
