Imaginary trade

[DAF86]

I know this won't happen but just go with it and play along.

Pelicans get Lamarcus Aldridge and David West

Spurs get Ryan Anderson and Omer Asik.

Who gets better? Who gets worse? Could it work both ways?

[RD2191]

:corn:

[testies]

Spurs get Belinelli and Splitter

Spurs get much better and you know it..

[K...]

do you hate defense?

[Robz4000]

Spurs become first round fodder immediately.

Why? Could you provide some sort of analysis?

Both Asik and Anderson are notorious playoff chokers. Anderson had one good game in his postseason career (Game 3 last year iirc) and otherwise has been Bonner-like with the Magic and Pels. Asik's defense has fallen off a cliff since he joined NOLA and has no offensive game to speak of; Splitter was an elite PnR player, passer, and screen setter which allowed him to thrive with Manu, Tony, and even Tim.

So I'm thinking that means you're negative on the whole trade thing?

LOL. With all the goofy shit that gets (seriously) posted here, I can understand why you missed what I was saying. PM sent. No harm, no foul.

The fact that someone proposed this trade, and was serious about it? I just don't have the words.

[r0drig0lac]

It is on Kawhi for Beal and Ariza?

[Kikoluna]

Wow..I post my my kobe to spurs idea and get killed. ..yet, this guy goes without a scratch. Wtf

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Tyson Chandler, Teletovic, and the rights to Bogdan.

[nowitzkikopf]

I know this won't happen but just go with it and play along.

Lakers get Kawhi Leonard

Spurs get Kobe Bryant (he still retires)

Who gets better? Who gets worse? Could it work both ways?

[Cry Havoc]

[Darius Bieber]

Should at least get Anthony Davis tbh

[Fireball]

OP deserves :nutkick:

You started a Top 5 worst thread tbh

The fuck???????!!!

That is because this trade idea is just terrible. Your thread made us want to vomit.

[Seventyniner]

It might make Kawhi a top-2 fantasy player so there's that.

[AFMadison]

Let's trade you for a quality poster

And that would make us bad enough to not be able to beat even a team like the Jazz (or something along those lines)?

[lilbthebasedgod]

Imaginary Trade three way trade
Matt Bonner and Ray McCallum for Lebron James and Steph Curry

[Robz4000]

And that would make us bad enough to not be able to beat even a team like the Jazz (or something along those lines)?

Obviously they'd drop to a lower seed and play OKC/LAC or some such team. The defense would slip to average immediately after the trade and the offense would improve marginally.

[DAF86]

I'm pulling for LMA to do well and I think he will eventually find a way to fit but I don't know why folks are acting like this would be such a terrible trade for the Spurs.

Anderson fits the Spurs like a glove: He is one of the best stretch 4's out there (if not the best), rebounds the ball well and is used to play off other people, he doesn't need to get post ups to be effective (although he can do it if you need him to) and Asik fits the second unit pretty damn well too: a defensive minded seven footer (no more turd towers) that knows how to play the pick and roll. They are also much younger than LMA and West too.

Tony, Green, Leonard, Anderson, Duncan.
Mills, Ginobili, Kyle, Diaw, Asik.

Fits better than what we have right now, tbh.

Look, I wouldn't do the trade either (mainly 'cause you can't trade folks that left a lot of millions on the table to play with your team) but don't act like this was some absurd trade idea that makes no sense at all. :lol

[jag]

I say we trade Manu to the Westchester Knicks for Jimmer.

[DAF86]

Obviously they'd drop to a lower seed and play OKC/LAC or some such team. The defense would slip to average immediately after the trade and the offense would improve marginally.

Trading Anderson for LMA would make the defense go from the best of the league to average? OK, I didn't know LMA was the second coming of Dikembe Mutombo and Ryan Anderson was the James Harden of PFs.:lol Besides, you are not counting the defensive improvement of getting a legit seven footer to prevent us from the turd towers of the bench.

Aaaand, nobody is taking the 2nd seed out of the Spurs, no matter what happens.

[Mel_13]

Not an act. Absurd trade idea. Aldridge is, by far, the best player in that trade. In almost every significant trade, the team that winds up with the best player wins the trade. Plus Asik is just a lesser version of Splitter and Anderson is a more expensive version of 2009 Bonner.

[DAF86]

Who wins?

Surely not me 'cause I'm already thin, losing weight wouldn't suit me, and having two brains would be almost as freakish as getting fat deformed hands, tbh.

[SpursIndonesia]

Well, you have to consider that the Spurs focus is the post season, and in that round of competition, STAR POWER matters a lot. We are lucky enough that we actually can have two, in prime superstar playing for us in this occasion. I would put a lot more chance of being successful in the playoff with the 110% effort & fully incorporated LMA & DWest playing for us rather than having a more rounded team powered by role players (albeit high quality ones) around Kawhi Leonard.

God damn your post reeks of gnsf tbh. We're 20 games into the season; seeding is far from determined at this point. Have you seen either play the past two seasons? Both were turnstiles on defense last night alone, and Asik offers nothing on offense to offset how far his D has fallen. Anderson is literally prime Bonner with a bit of a quicker (albeit less accurate) release, which is worse than being the "James Harden of PFs".

Saying Anderson is literally prime Bonner makes you sound ignorant son. Don't do it. Anderson isn't a one trick pony. In fact, he is one of the most well rounded PFs on offense. He shoots the three, he has a mid-range game, can post up, can put the ball on the floor and finishes well at the rim. And he's far from a liability on defense. Seriously, your "prime Bonner" comparisson makes me think you haven't watched much of Ryan Anderson, tbh.

You're calling him one of the most well-rounded PFs while the Spurs have a superior offensive PF on their roster you want to trade. Not only that, you want to include David West for another inferior player in Asik.

He hasn't proved that with the Spurs yet, tbh. The team is still trying to figure out how to best utilize him without fucking up and the ball movement. i'm not saying Anderson is better offensively than LMA but he could be a better fit, tbh. Mainly because he knows how to be effective within the rythm of an offense and playing off other people.

This is probably the dumbest thread I've come across on this forum, it even trumps the stuff thread put out.
