Who's Stanley Johnson? Sounds like a comedian.

You don't know Stan?! Probably only the best musical comedian of our time!

I'm 2k17, he looks like defensive type guy, going by his stats. Can hit a open 3..... Greens replacement.

He can't shoot..he's worse than Simmons, overall, right now..

But his defense.... Is that any good?

Ya, he's a solid defender, but so is Simmons..

I would take Johnson on the Spurs for his potential, but it's a move that could pay off in 2-3 years IMO, not for this season..

Green took a pay cut to stay with the Spurs. What kind of message would the Spurs send if they traded him? Hey, take a pay cut so you can be a better asset if a trade opportunity comes along. Not gonna happen.

HarlemHeat37

02-15-2017, 03:08 PM

Spurs aren't going to replace any starters or key bench players..the only move they could potentially make is for a Simmons or Anderson replacement..

Parker/Green/Leonard/Aldridge/Gasol/Manu/Mills/Dedmon or Lee(depending on the matchup) with a few minutes going to Simmons/Anderson is going to be the rotation..any potential move would be for the future or to replace Simmons/Anderson as the 4th wing..

Spurs don't trade Simmons before letting him play the warriors again.

It's good to hear RC is making calls... but he's not going to part with a rotation player and that is probably the extent of the phone calls.

Don't be surprised. Anyone really think Spurs don't make calls every year to try to improve their team? PATFO are never content.. tbh... I'd be shocked if they didn't field and take calls every year. They are just more disciplined than most teams and can be because they are always right there year after year in regards to contending. Just because they don't deal often, doesn't mean they don't take and make calls.

And I'm sure Spurs have a price on every player on the roster outside of Kawhi, Tony, Manu and DeJounte ( maybe).

I am not surprised at all. It's just good to get a rumor that they have asked about guys and it's interesting to see who they have inquired about.

Because his value is a second round draft pick. The Spurs won't do better than that unless they part with rotation players.

Who would the spurs give up though?
Anderson and forbes are prob the only two id get rid of quick..
Not sure it these two are enough to pull off that trade.

Dude, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to shoot with Green in 2K17. He fucking misses everything for me, even when wide open. I think it's because of his quick, weird release. I can't tell when is the optimal time to release. The meter seems to move way faster for him, which is stupid...it should be easier to shoot with good shooters, regardless of their particular form.

Green is fine for me, the person I can't figure out is Mills. I hit like 1 in 6 with him.

On Johnson, hard for Spurs to make salaries work without moving one of Green or Mills. Could trade Lee + Anderson but don't see them doing that to a guy who signed here on a min deal.

Would suck if GM's really believed that. RC also has a tendency of getting cucked in trades. Not even going to mention Scola or Dragic.

He gave away Splitter for free, when Miles Plumlee can get you Nurkic and a first round pick in today's NBA.
He gave away NBA Champion, Dick Jefferson and a first round pick for a player that later got cut before the playoffs the next year.
He gave away Diaw for a summer league player that got cut in the summer league.

SJax was worth it, should have been a Championship year.
But yes, otherwise I agree with you.
Other then Man From Nazr acquired for Malik Rose and the resulting Championship, has there been a successful trade deadline by RC?
Last years stupid mid 30s chucking guard, that was terrible.

Yeah, and I want to say people sometimes forget Danny Green has limits, thats why he was waived by Cleveland... everything went down the toilet because he was a horrible shooter and wasnt good enough even for Cavs, Pops Chip and god knows who made a wonderful job but he is regressing to his true self.
Bon bon is also a great person according to everyone but was hurting the team, Porker is not a great person... according to everyone and is hurting the team.

No GM is going to want to deal with the Spurs when it comes to shipping off a talented young player. Even if the deal makes sense the media will destroy them.

Why? How many players have the Spurs gotten from other teams that turned out to be great? And wasn't Kawhi the guy the Spurs told the Pacers to pick?

People are overblowing this. The franchise's best players (not sure about Gervin) were all drafted by the Spurs. D-Rob, TD, Manu, TP, Kawhi (I'm pretty sure the Spurs traded for the pick and told them to select Kawhi), they were all drafted by the Spurs. They didn't steal/trade for these guys from other teams. Kawhi and TP are also two guys that may not have become the players they are if drafted by someone else. Not saying that for sure, though, as they very well could have become great no matter where they went.

If the Spurs trade for a player and he improves here, that doesn't mean the Spurs stole talent away from them, it means their player development team and coaching sucks compared to the Spurs. I don't see what other teams should be mad about. Get better coaches and player development.
