Trade Deadline Thread

[Mel_13]

wish spurs at least traded our dead weights for some picks...

Why would a team give up picks for dead weight?

[timtonymanu]

I wouldn't care so much about standing pat if we didn't waste money on Jeff Errors in the offseason.

[Robz4000]

I wouldn't care so much about standing pat if we didn't waste money on Jeff Errors in the offseason.

[Ditty]

I guess with the Spurs being a few seconds within the championship, and making the WCF the year before that, they believe whatever they are doing is working. Last years Spurs team was special, and even the year before that was pretty special if they didn't have a mental collapse it seems after they lost game 3 vs the Thunder...I don't know if they can put a repeat performance this year as Thunder and possibly Miami if Oden works out have got better.

[yavozerb]

Caron and MWP are both shitty this year but either is better than standing pat. Doubt the Spurs go after Artest after S-Jack tbh.

Spurfan better pray that Timmy/Diaw/Splitter stay healthy because they don't have an NBA level 4th big on the roster.

Neither does OKC,Miami,and many other teams..You dont have to have a stock pile of bigs to win in the NBA.

Knicks & Clippers, I'm told, have re-ignited serious discussions late this afternoon on deal headlined Shumpert/Collison. Talks as we speak

[objective]

... the front office needs to prepare for their length on the perimeter, Kawhi and Green aren't enough, tbh..

don't worry, they won't.

[ace3g]

Canada just won Gold

[Clipper Nation]

Shumpert is an average player, at best, tbh..he hasn't been a good defender since tearing his ACL, and he can't create for himself..with that being said, if OKC acquires him, it's a good move, it's better than not doing anything, tbh..
From what Knicks fans have said, Woodson's basically ruined Shump's confidence and marginalized him, tbh.... maybe a switch to a winning environment could get him going again....

OKC, Miami and Indy are all much more top heavy with talent at this point than the Spurs tbh. They can compensate by relying on the Top 5 players they have on their team whereas the Spurs are done with any injuries to their frontline.

Do you really think okc can win it all without westbrook, or miami can win without dwade, or indy can without george or hibbert. Injuries to key players for any team means there championship is over.

I didn't mention injuries to top guys. I'm just saying those teams can survive injuries to their 3rd big and still be good enough to win it all while the Spurs don't have that luxury. No need to hijack the thread over it tbh.

[slick'81]

Boooooo lol

[loveforthegame]

Come on RC ... let's hear how you tried.

[timtonymanu]

Good news: No contenders made trades (other than the Rockets), we still got the waiver deadline

Bad news: Still no backup SF/lack of another perimeter defender

[Mugen]

I'll pretend we just traded for Kawhi tomorrow tbh.

[Robz4000]

If OKC didn't do anything its all good. Houston got better tho (and became a worse matchup for the Spurs if that's possible).

[cd98]

Hard to bag on R.C. when your trade chips are Bonner and De Colo. If he was able to trade those two for a back up small forward, he would truly be on another level.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Thats all.

[timtonymanu]

If OKC didn't do anything its all good. Houston got better tho (and became a worse matchup for the Spurs if that's possible).

Seriously. We have to hope the Rockets choke in the 1st round because I'm not confident in a series with them.

[cd98]

Some trades that were called in may still trickle in. That said, I'm sure the Spurs are not in that group.

[ElNono]

I'm glad we didn't trade Paul George, tbh...

[loveforthegame]

I guess those expiring contracts weren't so valuable trade chips after all.

[mienhmario]

Dang it...no chance this year. 100% sure we won't be back in the finals this year with the same group we have. The same teams we struggled last year got deeper and stronger.

#TruthHurts

[HarlemHeat37]

Well, at least none of the other contenders improved, outside of Houston making a minor move, tbh..

Just have to hope Parker comes back rejuvenated and that Leonard maximizes his increased role with Tony sitting out..

[DPG21920]

With the picture becoming 66% complete (Off Season/Trade Deadline Passed & Buyout Candidates left), the Spurs really have seemingly done a poor job this year to help themselves. A questionable off season has become a very questionable off season with the appearance no trade was done to fill the glaring holes on the roster.

If the buyout season does not produce any fruit, the Spurs should have only themselves to blame for not doing a good job to maximize their chances at winning.

[rjv]

the obvious is the obvious. there was no one worth trading for for what we would realistically offer. ergo, why would anyone have expected a trade?

[Robz4000]

The worst player on the Toronto Raptors who played 33 minutes this season for a PER of 2.5.

Can there be a more meh trade?

And folks were expecting Thad Young :)

[cd98]

Great, even though Austin Daye sucks, he's at least a sucky small forward instead of a sucky backup shooting guard/point guard or whatever position De Colo plays.

[crc21209]

Austin Daye for De Colo? Wow! Talk about a win. I'll take it! Daye looked like he had some potential in Detroit, but Detroit is Detroit and I'm not surprised he didnt succeed there. Maybe with the right coach (Pop) and players around him (Tim, Tony, Manu) he can finally blossom...

[DPG21920]

There we go. I imagine this is more to accommodate De Colo than anything. Good luck, Nando.

[DPG21920]

Nando > Daye. Nando really isn't in a better situation either. They have Lowry and Vasquez. Just an all around disappointing move & disappointing off season/trade deadline. I don't get the Spurs thinking (with what info is available) that they felt they should do nothing.

There were plenty of guys available for very cheap that could have helped with depth (Hawes).

[ElNono]

:lol Took a quick shower and a trade happens.

Happy for Nando. Hope he gets more playing time with the Raptors tbh. Daye is meh at best at this point.

[DPG21920]

Nando was not a scrub. He was up and down some because of his role and learning, but he has showed way more promise than Daye IMO. No doubt about it, Nando is the better player. Now, it won't hurt the Spurs losing him, but they got nothing of value in return. This was simply to save a little cash.

[Blizzardwizard]

Everyone clambers for a trade.

[cd98]

de Colo is a better small forward than daye.

Daye makes Stephon Curry look like the hulk. For a guy playing against other bigs, he's not no weight behind him. He gets pushed around and he isn't fast enough to get around bigs.

[Ditty]

at least he had a nice dunk that was set up from Bynum I believe :lol

nZVIf3zMNzE

Lets give the kid a chance he is 6'11 25 year old guy that can hit the three, and can put the ball on the floor.

Nando may have brought a little more to the team, but there wasn't a need for him on this team unless he was 6'7 or taller.

[cjw]

Nando had zero chance to play any meaningful minutes this year. With Brown in the fold until Parker returns, and with two other guys to play PG and three SGs, there's simply nowhere for him to play.

Let's see what Daye can bring to the table. He went in the first round in the same draft where Ayres, Green, De Colo and Blair went in round 2.

[yavozerb]

Daye has been on some awful teams..Could suprise some of us with his play by being surrounded by solid players..

[PingPong]

Ayers, Daye...

[SpurPadre]

Bonner is better than Daye. Way better.

No way. If you give Daye the minutes Bonner's had throughout his Spurs career, he'd outperform him. It's not saying much, but yes, Bonner is a putrid player who has no business on a Championship-caliber team, let alone a Bucks team.

No way. If you give Daye the minutes Bonner's had throughout his Spurs career, he'd outperform him. It's not saying much, but yes, Bonner is a putrid player who has no business on a Championship-caliber team, let alone a Bucks team.

Daye is on his 4th team and counting. Bonner, while he is not a great player, is very good at what he does. Yes, he's limited, but he shoots threes and he tries on defense. We don't need him all the time, but in spots, he can be effective. Daye couldn't get himself into the rotation on the Raptors, habitually one of the worst teams in the NBA.

[Chinook]

Clark and Turner may get bought out. Clark's more likely.

[objective]

Daye has 250k guaranteed for next season.

[ajballer4]

What are the chances Daye doesnt even stay around?

[Ditty]

Daye has been on some awful teams..Could suprise some of us with his play by being surrounded by solid players..

Agree there is no huge risk being involved as his salary is very little. De Colo was gone this summer anyways, and wasn't going to get any playing time with the way Mills has been playing. Spurs had more of a need for a player above 6'3 even if he isn't one of the best in the league. Maybe a change in scenery can be for the better.

[cd98]

anyone think shannon brown stays with the team?

No. I think they go after a buyout player with his spot. With Manu, Green, and Marco, he is not needed.

Not sure who Indiana gets in return. Probably second round picks. But I'm sure they are trying to get rid of the salary, and the 76ers need someone who can score. Granger is still working his way back, but I'm sure 76ers are counting on him being a double digit scorer by season's end.

Yup and outside of Lance, he's probably their best ball handler now.

[ajballer4]

Huge get for the Pacers. Lavoy Allen isnt half bad either

[spurraider21]

Granger used to be a really good player, and the Granger of 3 years ago would have been lethal on the Pacers. things change, and good move by them to net something out of his bloated contract

[yavozerb]

Who the hell is going to play the 4 and 5 for philly...this shit is embarassing for that organization

[timtonymanu]

Fuck! That's a great pickup for Indiana. Turner fits in over there compared to playing on the Spurs.

[Mugen]

Turner is a great addition for the Pacers especially since Granger is done at this point. Slightly helps the Spurs if it can help Indy get past the Heat tbh.

[BatManu20]

Smart move by the Pacers. Granger has been a non-factor the past 2 seasons. Turner gives them another weapon. Great trade.

Granger used to be a really good player, and the Granger of 3 years ago would have been lethal on the Pacers. things change, and good move by them to net something out of his bloated contract

His contract is not an issue. They are not in LT danger and he's off the books next year.

[HarlemHeat37]

I love what Philly is doing, tbh, great tank so far..

[SpurPadre]

Getting Turner at least doesn't improve Indy's chances if they play the Spurs, but it'll be huge against the Heat.

How does it not improve their chances against us? Sure, he's not a good three point shooter, but his athleticism has given us fits in the past. He scored 20 on us earlier this season.

[DPG21920]

Still shocking at how little value Philly has gotten. To their credit, they have a great pick coming their way and a ton of cap space. Sucks for Thad Young and I'm shocked they wouldn't take any first rounder for Thad as long as it meant not taking salary.

Spurs screwed the pooch here. With rock bottom prices, despite fit, they could have easily obtained a guy like Hawes/Evan for just expiring deals or 2nd round pick(s).

[spurraider21]

i know, but a sizable expiring can net you some assets, but its not always the case like the Lakers w/ Pau. at least the pacers got something out of granger, which is what i was referencing

You do realize turner took 21 shots to score 20 pts right?

[Spurs da champs]

Turner gives the Pacers a creator off the bench, they need that, on paper it's a good trade.

BTW where is this athleticism of Evan Turner that everyone is speaking about? He's an average athlete at best, tho given the Spur's crap athletes I can understand how one player's athleticism is thought to be more than it really is.

[Chinook]

As the first option.

Granger is/was just as athletic at a position the Spurs are weak against, and he's not that great of a defender. Indy's bench scoring is so pourus the Spurs would be able to focus more on him.

[SpurPadre]

You do realize turner took 21 shots to score 20 pts right?

You do realize he wouldn't be required to shoulder such a load now that he's on a loaded team that will give him better looks, right?

[Chinook]

Doesn't matter. He can't shoot.

[SpurPadre]

Yes, and now he'll get better looks on a loaded team.

[Mugen]

Would be funny if Granger was bought out and went to the Heat tbh.

[Robz4000]

You do realize he wouldn't be required to shoulder such a load now that he's on a loaded team that will give him better looks, right?

If anything he'll get worse looks. He just won't be a liability on D as much as he was in Philly.

[spurraider21]

he's a good rebounder and he can playmake. he'll be fine in a reserve role on a team with the amount of talent like indiana

[Robz4000]

I said in another thread I doubt he gets bought out, but holy shit if that happens :lol...

[Chinook]

It doesn't work that way for ballhogs like Turner. He sucked when Philly actually did have talent. He only became relevant when he was able to chuck with impunity.

[SpurPadre]

Doesn't matter. He can't shoot.

But he can take it to the rack and again, we struggle against athleticism.

[szkorhetz]

I truly believe Granger will be bought out.
:stirpot:

[Chinook]

In transition and rebounding. Not on penetration.

[Baam]

I think it does, Indiana basically had to play their starters 48 min last year, their awesome starting 5 had to always make up for their sucky bench, it's a bit like Portland this year (they already had great starters last year), a bit of boost off their bench could make a big impact...

[SpurPadre]

I agree. It's a good move that makes a scary team a little scarier. I have them topping the Heat now.

[yavozerb]

lol, your all over the place with your stmts. So in one stmt you like to point out how he scored 20 against the spurs (which i point out how shitty a shooting perfermance it was) and now he will be a bother to the spurs cause he will not be the #1 option. right, keep reaching..It is a good pick up without a doubt for the pacers, do not think it will make or break a series if the pacers match up against the spurs.

Spurs actually have a few players that can defend him unlike Granger where they'd only have Kawhi (thanks to the lack of Sf depth). Both are about even offensively with Turner being the better playmaker and Granger the superior shooter, but in the end Turner is easier for the Spurs to contain.

[spurraider21]

Brett Brown literally had the best job in the world this year :rollin

Agree. One thing it does do is legitimately allows them to play small. They didn't have a third wing before.

[HarlemHeat37]

Turner seems like a potential alternative future signing for them in case it doesn't work out with Stephenson, too..

[Spursfanfromafar]

And by the way, the Sixers get a second round pick from Indiana for their efforts.

Seriously, Once the first round of the drafts is over, its going to be a lot of exercise for the Sixers GM on draft day.

[spurraider21]

Sixers should trade all those 2nd round picks to Fredo for their lottery pick

[Chinook]

Doubt it. Turner was horrendous at the two in Philly. It's Lance or MLE.

[Chinook]

That reminds me of that NFL draft a few years ago where the Cowboys kept trading down until they only had third-day picks.

[Spursfanfromafar]

By the way, Danny Granger's trade to the Sixers, ensures that only 10 active players have played for only one team their entire life in the NBA (minimum: 10 years).

[Quote = Spurs Da champs; 7146693] Turner dá os Pacers um criador fora do banco, eles precisam que, no papel, é uma boa troca. BTW onde é este atletismo de Evan Turner que todo mundo está falando? Ele é um atleta melhor média, tho dado atletas porcaria do Spur Eu posso entender como atletismo de um jogador é pensado para ser mais do que realmente é. [/ QUOTE]

Notable that the teams that account for the top 7 players on that list also account for 13 of the 15 NBA titles since Jordan left the Bulls.

Not looking. Big Three, Dirk, Collison, Kobe, Wade, Nelson, Haslem and Varejao?

[Chinook]

Got em. Not that it's incredibly believable for me to say that now.

[ajballer4]

Bingo

[spurraider21]

I never realized Nelson had been around that long

[Seventyniner]

I got 8, missed Varejao and Nelson. I plain forgot Varejao and I thought Nelson was younger than that.

[Chinook]

I got 8, missed Varejao and Nelson. I plain forgot Varejao and I thought Nelson was younger than that.

I read an article recently about Nelson potentially getting a no-trade clause next season. Saw a Varejao vid from James' second or third year last night.

[RD2191]

Kinda feel that the Pacers did Granger dirty, unless he asked to be moved.

[Captivus]

It wad a joke. They were never going to trade him. We all knew that.

My was a joke too...:depressed

[ohmwrecker]

Kinda feel that the Pacers did Granger dirty, unless he asked to be moved.

I don't think so. He probably wants a fresh start after being replaced by George.

[FutureMan]

While I'm glad that the Pacers got Turner and can certainly beat the Heat now, it certainly looks like the Pacers could kill us in the Finals. I just can't believe that the Spurs basically did nothing. Everyone knows how hard it is to get free agents here and they had a big shot with Young and blew it. Maybe everyone has it right here about the front office….

[crc21209]

Amazing how things change so quick. Granger was once the Pacers star and was even nicknamed "Batman" and then he got hurt and replaced by George. Moral of the story...don't get hurt! :lol

[Chinook]

You're my boy, Cap. Sorry for not realizing it was a joke.

No, it's not being all over the place and it's not reaching. I believe he can make the most out of the minutes and new responsibility he now has as a Pacer.

[hsxvvd]

76's summary.
In: Granger, Mullens, Maynor, Clark and Sims (+5 2nd Round Picks)
Out:Hawes, Turner and Allen.

Brett Brown got his work cut out. Jabari Sweepstakes!

[spurraider21]

Kinda feel that the Pacers did Granger dirty, unless he asked to be moved.
wasn't he getting paid 14 million this year to do nothing? please

[hsxvvd]

I think that'll be 6 X 2nd round picks for the 76ers in 2014 now too.

Delaware 87ers getting some talent!

Indiana is a freaking beast.

Too bad we couldn't trade Boylen to the Sixers for Brett to come back.

[hsxvvd]

Indiana's Bench would just about make the playoffs in the East.

Bynum/Mahinmi
Scola
Copeland
Turner
Watson

Ken Berger @KBergCBS
(https://twitter.com/KBergCBS)In conjunction with the Danny Granger trade, the Pacers say they have waived Orlando Johnson.

I'd 10-day Johnson.
