Would you “sell high” on Forbes?

[Dverde]

Assuming Spurs have a losing record around the trading deadline would you “sell high” on Forbes? My thought is PATFO are never trading Patty Mills. I wish they would, but they probably won’t. With DJ coming back and Marco, Lonnie Walker and DeRozan at SG next year. Forbes has played better this season and may be able to retrieve a draft pick or a player who can actually play defense.

[pad300]

If I could get a good offer, I would bite. I am not a fan of undersized SG's. Just like I, although apparently not the PATFO, would trade Mills for the right offer...

[Raven]

yes. but i would also get rid of cancernelli

[Russ]

If you want to sell Forbes high, no need to panic -- just wait.

[vavvi]

Nobody would trade for Forbes

[Fusternino]

I'm on the record already saying to move Forbes and both picks for the highest pick we get offered.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I would trade Marco first. Maybe to LA bc they need some shooting. Or send him back to Philly

[MultiTroll]

Yes.
He's made some good shots.
His D appears like he will never be NBA level.
Unless he goes Curry lite (he won't) his O is always going to be canceled out by his D.

Simply another pick that shouldn't have been.
Popped probably liked his political views or some other shit.

[TheGreatYacht]

Marco is definitely the kind of guy LeGM trades for midseason :lol

[SpurSpike]

I would sell high one of either Mills, Forbes, or Belinelli since they are largely redundant.

[cd021]

After this season, I think he'd be a prime candidate to be traded depending on the number of the Spurs pick.

Something like the 16th pick + plus Forbes to move up a few spots would make sense and also allow for us to keep the Raps pick.

[cd021]

If Walker looks half decent, then I would hope that it would be at least considered. Beli has been trash this season. It's hard to play worse than he has thus far.

[r0drig0lac]

What does it mean to "sell high" a player like Bryn Forbes?

[Leetonidas]

Yes, despite what posters think he is one of our more valuable trade chips because he is a dead eye shooter on a cheap contract. Spurs can probably get something decent in return by pairing him with Gasol and pick.

That being said I would rather just keep him unless a really good offer comes along. He is worth more to SA because of his cheap deal and being one of the only reliable shooters we have. Plus he plays well next to Demar

[Chinook]

Depends on what "high" means. He's cheap enough to hold onto in my "power tank into immediate retool" idea. He pairs well with Murray, White and DeRozan. He has value to the organization and is young enough to be around for a long time.

One of the biggest myths in the NBA is that point guards play defense.

[slick'81]

He hardly makes anything what could we get in return?

[sasaint]

I don't think Philly is a realistic destination, but yeah, move Marco first.

[sasaint]

Yes.

Forbes was a FA, not a pick.

[SpurPadre]

Gary Payton says hi.

[sasaint]

Exactly. He is probably our 4th best player and is dirt cheap. Much better value than any heads-up trade that you could make. I would much rather move Marco first.

[SpurPadre]

It's like asking what kind of car you can buy for a hundred bucks, tbh.

[Darius Bieber]

Sell high? So we’d get a 2nd round pick instead of a GLeague Draft Pick for him?

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes (because of his contract) and Bertans would be the only shooters I would keep on the team, I would like to trade Marco, Mills, Gasol, Pond and the 2nd round to 2 nba level wings, sign Huestis (?) and I'd be fine with this

[Dverde]

Sell high means to sell something when it is most valuable. Does your mom still dress you in the morning?

[tmtcsc]

I recorded the game but didn't watch it. I'm guessing Marco was trash again. Hoisting up off-balance, ill-timed shots and not defending worth a shit.

[Spurs da champs]

Gary Payton says hi.
Dejounte Murray says high, he's out & Forbes/Fatty are getting lit up by PGs on the daily.

[Spurtacular]

I would be a motivated seller.

Precisely

[gambit1990]

definately.

[Truth4sale$]

Forbes is on a 2 year deal worth 6 million. That's 3 million a year. Starting by default, the 4th leading scorer but probably the most consistent player on the team and leading the team in 3pt percentage. He is doing more than his job. This is GREAT value. He hustles hard, working to continously improve his game. He is great value for the cap and still has youth and upside. In 2 years, somebody will pay him 6-7 million a year. Much better value than either Bertans, and Marco. Nobody would want Bertans, but Marco possibly by reputation, but you wont get much.

[stnick2261]

At one point, Pop praised George Hill as his favorite player. He even said that Hill was our PG of the future and started "shopping" Parker. He did this to inflate Hill's value and was able to trade him for Leonard, Bertans, and a Euro who never came over (Lorbek?). If there is a chance to inflate Forbes value and trade him, do it.

All great points. I just don’t see the value of having both Patty and Forbes going forward. I would love to keep Forbes and trade Patty, but I don’t think they will do it. Even if they wanted to trade him, Spurs wouldn’t get anything of value back and may have to include a pick or two. Forbes has only another year left on his bargain contract. After that he may leave or require 8+ million a year to re-sign. If you want to trade him, the time to trade him is this season or the offseason.

[DAF86]

Even with a "high value" Forbes, what is the best thing you can get for him? A second rounder? Not worth it, tbh.

[NASpurs]

You package him with Pau’s expiring and that’s how you get more value. Just him by himself isn’t much.

[DPG21920]

He does not make enough money to bring back anything of value stand alone. He’s also developing nicely and great value. I mean if he helps get a deal done, ok, but they shouldn’t be looking to move him.

[phxspurfan]

Sure, but Forbes really isn't worth a whole lot. GMs know he's undersized and can't play defense. He's a Gary Neal type player at this point with only one skill, shooting. That's good for *maybe* an underperforming rookie, but probably not even worth a 2nd rounder.

[timvp]

Selling high on Forbes right now is, what, two second round picks?

[therealtruth]

Where's Gary Neal now? It seems Spurs role players lose their powers when they go to other teams.

[SpurPadre]

Sounds about right.

[024]

Rather sell high on Gay. Can Rudy even get a late first rounder?

[SpurPadre]

I think he tried asking me for some spare change yesterday but I flipped him off, took off my shoes and easily ran away from him.

About the value of Forbes, there's this:

Jeff McDonald: Pop was asked if Bryn Forbes reminds him any of Gary Neal. Pop: “No. … He reminds me of Steph Curry.”

Sounds SuperMax to me.

What team would want a decent one dimensional 2 point shooter who can only play 25 games a year on a bad Achilles? Even DeMarcus Cousins could only get vet min with a bad Achilles

[Dverde]

Now is the time to trade him. I’d prefer trading Patty, but that is not happening. DJ going to be back healthy next year. Gasol, Forbes, filler and/or one of the first round picks for what?

The dumbest thing Pop has ever said, tbh. Unless he meant Seth Curry and/or was misquoted, tbh.

[spurraider21]

now is the worst time to trade forbes. he's under contract for 2.9 mil next season.

[Dverde]

His value is plummeting now. We could have easily gotten a second rounder for him. Maybe he can get that Gattaca surgery and become two inches taller in the offseason.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Two thirds of second round picks become available pretty quick anyway.

Forbes and 70% of the Spurs bench has no trade value. It'd be like trading a bag of chips for a can of Pringles. Not moving the needle much for either party involved.

[kaji157]

Selling high for Forbes means a team accepts him as a matching salary fill in.

[Hoops Czar]

You're right. They should just buy him out.

[elbamba]

Let's hope Pop sits him for the next 10 games. Dont want that injury getting worse.

I would sell "below the sea level low" on this dude

[illusioNtEk]

2.9 million is not alot.... he's cheap... keep him

[R. DeMurre]

You never know-- I can't tell you how many times I've tried a trade on ESPN's Trade Machine and the result was something like "cut 1.2 million from outgoing trade value to make this trade successful." His $2.9 mil salary could make a difference.

[Dverde]

Trade him or pay him 10M+ per season?

[slick'81]

If patty deserves it then so does bryn and his kids

Hum, hell yes. But the time to do that was last yeah, not when he’ll be a UFA this summer

"high" :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[poopbox]

Sell high...

I'd chloroform his mouth...take him to the worst neighborhood in a 50 mile radius...leave him on a porch and never look back

[slick'81]

What would we get for a 3 mil a year guy? I guess addition by subtraction but the same could be said for patty and demar..damn this team sucks

You attach him to Demar as a sweetener in a trade.

I could easily see a desperate playoff team trading a second rounder for him. Problem is the Spurs only make trades with Eastern conference teams.

If this is true, someone in the front office is still butthurt about the Scola Rockets trade.

[r0drig0lac]

the world is watching Forbes play and how his defensive effort is completely pointless and do you believe he could give the team a playoff boost? he has no value, the only team that will pay him more than the minimum is the Spurs

[TimDunkem]

[dbestpro]

Orlando needs a 3 point shooter. Send him with DDR.
