NBA Trade Deadline 2019

It’s unlikely but I saw some articles saying Aaron Gordon is being shopped around, id love to see him traded to the spurs

get him. I just don't see the Spurs having anything of value except for the Raptors pick. What would the package be? Pau, Forbes and the Raptors pick? That doesn't sound like a good deal at all.

But then again, what exactly is Orlando looking for? I mean it seems like they try to trade everybody and cap space doesn't help them cause no big time free agent wants to sign with the Magic

Orlando is a mess. They historically don't develop players very well-- guys like Oladipo & Tobias Harris improved dramatically after leaving. They don't draft well, and haven't hit a home run in the draft in over a decade of mostly lottery picks.

The only guy that seems to have actually developed into something is Vucevic, who is a legit all star this year, and now it looks like they're on the fence about keeping him. All of Vucevic's numbers this year are incredible-- traditional stats, advanced stats, +/-, etc... My bet is they don't trade him, and he leaves this summer in free agency as the best under-the-radar non-max contract move for some team.

Zach Lowe hinted that the spurs might go after Gordon but, he didn't explain how. I think that's where the gordon stuff is coming from.

im not sure what we’d offer but say the spurs did offer both first round picks that would be really valuable to them, 1st round picks are worth a hell of a lot to teams, Throw in pau too.magic get 2 picks and save some money. I doubt it happens though, I sense the spurs wanna hold onto their picks

I do think pau + both picks + filler would get it done. I'm not sure I'd pay that but I might...

[TDMVPDPOY]

spurs need to dump dd, mills, paus contract...

Mavs will probably unload Barnes and go hard after Vuc. They have zero rebounding.

Doncic
Hardaway
Finney-Smith
Porzingis
Vucevic

[cd021]

2 picks for Aaron Gordon is way too much tbh. 2 firsts (especially ones that are so close to the actual draft where it is clearer where those picks might land) are too valuable in today's NBA.

I think the Spurs might be interested but more in the window shopping kinda way.

[RC_Drunkford]

I 'd rather offer Toronto pick and Spurs 2020 pick. I mean if we draft a SF this year we'd have Murray, White, Walker, 2019 pick, Poeltl, Metu, Bertans and Gordon is only 23. That would actually make ton of sense and Gordon's salary actually goes down for the next 4 seasons.

This board is full of a bunch of dried up pussys. We don’t need two low end picks right now. These low picks are not NBA ready and have to be developed over years. Demar and LMA got maybe two prime years left. Not a fan of Aaron Gordon, but the idea of trading our garbage contract Gasol with two low end picks is not ludicrous. Spurs won’t do it because Gasol’s f’ing feeling may be hurt. They’ll waive and stretch him per the original plan from two years ago.

[vavvi]

Toronto pick, a 2nd, an exciting young cheap starter of a western playoff team named Bryn Forbes and Pau’s contract. That’s a solid offer if you’re dealing with a franchise like Magic.

2 first rounders is way too much

[Degoat]

I wouldn't offer that. Maybe Toronto pick and Spurs 2020 pick. I mean if we draft a SF this year we'd have Murray, White, Walker, 2019 pick, Poeltl, Metu, Bertans and Gordon is only 23. I could see that

That would be pretty sweet to have a line up of Murray white, DeMar, Gordon, LA. With Rudy, Davis, and walker subbing in

[Leetonidas]

Gordon sucks. He's soft and inconsistent. I don't think we need an overpaid PF that doesn't play defense. His raw numbers are nothing eye popping, which is even more disappointing because he plays on a bad team and has the greenlight, and his advanced stats are pretty unflattering. Not a great shooter, not great at the line, ok rebounder for his position. He does pass decently but it's not enough. Hard pass.

ST always has an infatuation with names over actual fit and need. I mean wtf do we need PGs or PFs for? Spurs need SFs period.

So he can’t play wing?
fuck him then ))) I’m calling the cheap exciting starter of western playoff team named Forbes offer off the table

[vavvi]

Orlando is one of the most unwatchable franchises through the last 5 years or so. Kudos to those who watched a lot of Gordon

Gordon is a SF. SF and PF there's not a big difference right now between the 2. He's mobile enough to play the 3. The guy is only 23 and is locked up for 4 years with decreasing salary. In 21/22 he'll earn 16 million. Playing for the Spurs would do wonders for his development and he fits the timeline of our young core while also filling a need right now

[DPG21920]

Truth bomb. I'd rather bring Simmons back.

FKLA - Simmons sucks bro. It truly was an amazing story and he had a lot of good moments. But he’s a below average player and has no place in SA lineup.

[RC_Drunkford]

Terrence Ross seems to be available for 2 2nd rounders. I'd like the Spurs to take a chance on that deal

[DPG21920]

What happened is that PFs became centers and SFs are playing PF. PFs didn't starting playing the three. You can argue that Gordon makes sense as a power-forward, but he isn't an answer at the three. I do think folks are hating on him too much and that he could be good for the Spurs. But the things that have prevented him from playing the three so far in his career are still there. Two firsts is a whole lot to give up for a guy who isn't going to be a core piece going forward.

[John B]

6’9”, 7 wingspan with 35% 3pt percentage, 16pts 8rbs. A little low on the 3pt% but has physicality to guard a LeBron/Davis. He checks out what Spurs need, young and cheap, and can still develop. I’d give Pau, 2 1st rounds to secure him. Come on RC!

Spurs have guys to guard James already, and Gordon isn't checking Davis better than Aldridge does.

[Bellboy]

Pau’s expiring contract, Milutinov rights, Toronto 2019 1st, Spurs 2019 2nd and throw in filler for Gordon and Bamba

[Leetonidas]

Ok, I said Gordon sucks but obviously I don't mean he's complete trash. He's young and does have upside but there are for more intriguing prospects to consider than an overpaid (Imo), soft, inconsistent tweener who isn't particularly good at anything besides dunking. Obviously he can always turn out better in the spurs system but still. He may be able to play at the 3 but like Rudy in today's NBA he is definitely a 4

Everybody knows that. I disagree though, Gordon has enough foot speed and a decent 3-point shot. He can easily play the 3. If you want to go smaller you slot DeRozan in at the 3 and move Gordon to the 4. People said the same shit about Demarre Carroll yet he moved well and killed us from 3 in the last game. And if you think Dante Cunningham or Rudy Gay are better options to guard LeBron you're retarded

[Leetonidas]

Pau’s expiring contract, Milutinov rights, Toronto 2019 1st, Spurs 2019 2nd and throw in filler for Gordon and Bamba

Wouldn't mind this since it nabs us a young prospect with upside in bamba but why would ORL do this trade?

[sasaint]

Pau’s expiring contract, Milutinov rights, Toronto 2019 1st, Spurs 2019 2nd and throw in filler for Gordon and Bamba

I don't think that is quite enough to get the deal done, but I like the idea of a package for both Gordon and Bamba. Both firsts this year might do it, but we still would need a legit SF. We would have to do another deal, because we would not be able to draft a SF.

[Leetonidas]

Silly me wants to raise banners in San Antonio instead of Austin. Good luck with picks 20 and 26.

Considering you're proposing trading the two picks for Aaron fucking Gordon I would assume you're more interested in being a middling treadmill team with overpaid mediocre talent, which is what we already are. Dude doesn't move the needle at all. Lol thinking Gordon is the key to raising another banner :lmao guy can barely make a decent impact on a trash team devoid of talent

[gospursgojas]

“You mean Aaron Gordon, the slam dunk guy?”

Which is basically what he is.

[Bellboy]

Wouldn't mind this since it nabs us a young prospect with upside in bamba but why would ORL do this trade?

Filler could range from Cunningham, Poindexter level to Walker, Murray and Metu level, whatever would satisfy Orlando and Spurs.


With David’s and Tim’s mentoring and having Dejuan Blair taking Bamba to every Whataburger between San Marcos to Georgetown we might develop something pretty serviceable.

[ace3g]

Taurean Prince (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2990962/taurean-prince) makes some sense; he's up for an extension this summer, and the Hawks have made him available, sources say. As a free agent non-destination, the Blazers value players whose rights they can control.But the Hawks are asking a lot so far -- a young player and a pick -- and haven't gotten much traction on Prince trades, sources say.



http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25902818/nba-trade-deadline-preview-zach-lowe-expect

[Chillen]

Yeah watched some of his highlights and seems like more of a dunker, shot blocker only and the Spurs system requires you to have a jumpshot. Has potential though. Still if it's for Gasol's expiring, Cunningham, and say a 1st round pick it might be a good deal.

[DPG21920]

“You mean Aaron Gordon, the slam dunk guy?”

Which is basically what he is.

He’s closer to the next Blake Griffin than he is to just being the dunker guy.

[HarlemHeat37]

FKLA - Simmons sucks bro. It truly was an amazing story and he had a lot of good moments. But he’s a below average player and has no place in SA lineup.

Simmons is having one of the worst seasons in recent NBA history, no hyperbole:lol

It's crazy that Pop turned him into a rotation player..

[FutureMan]

I doubt the Magic give up Aaron Gordon for two crappy first round picks. It is the Magic though so you never know. Gordon did take a paycut by accepting a contract that decreases over time so they could chase bigger free agents going forward. If they were smart they would trade Ross to any team willing to take Mozgov’s contract. This would free them up to have a single max slot for next year.

[Dverde]

If you reread my original post you would see I don’t really like Gordon. This idea of pearl clutching whenever the idea of trading a draft pick for a known NBA quantity is specifically annoying to me.

[FkLA]

FKLA - Simmons sucks bro. It truly was an amazing story and he had a lot of good moments. But he’s a below average player and has no place in SA lineup.

He makes 6.0M this year and 5.7M next year. That's cheap and we need bodies on the wing. I trust Pop to get him back to what he was his last year in SA/his first year in ORL. I mean he's not my top pick for wings I'd like the Spurs to acquire but I'd take him over paying Gordon 20M for the next three seasons and still having a glaring hole at SF.

[cd021]

Spurs won’t do it because Gasol’s f’ing feeling may be hurt. They’ll waive and stretch him per the original plan from two years ago.

Low first's are still an asset lol, especially with the Spurs (Murray, White, Anderson and Hill) giving them away is exactly how a good team turn into Grizzlies with little assets and one of the bleaker teams in terms of outlook.

Gasol isn't costing this team much going forward, $6.7 million next seaso. You want to trade the 21st and 28th pick in order to save this team $7 million?

[cd021]

If you reread my original post you would see I don’t really like Gordon. This idea of pearl clutching whenever the idea of trading a draft pick for a known NBA quantity is specifically annoying to me.

Well who do you want the Spurs to ship 2 picks and Gasol to, and for whom? You can't complain that posters value first rounders too much and then not offer up a deal where it would make sense to do so.

[FkLA]

If y'all want that type of big body tweener and are willing to give up both 1st Rounders wouldn't it make sense to go after Julian Randle instead? Much friendlier deal and the better player. He'll probably get a max deal or close to it after next season though.

[Chinook]

And if you think Dante Cunningham or Rudy Gay are better options to guard LeBron you're retarded

People said Carroll couldn't guard perimeter players anymore. Last game didn't seem to prove he could. Anyway, the Spurs faced Lebron four times this season and did their jobs. Folks are crazy to act like he's been a problem for the team this year. You're apparently hoping for a LAL playoff series to justify this trade, but not only is it not even guaranteed that big, bad Lebron even makes the playoffs this year, it's also pretty apparent that Gordon really isn't a good defensive player anyway.

[R. DeMurre]

The only reason the Magic have any wins this year is because of Nikola Vucevic, who is playing like a legit all star. Vucevic averages more points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks than Aaron Gordon, with a better FG%, 3ptFG%, and FT%. I'd rather start Davis Bertans at SF than Gordon, who is vastly overpaid.

[Chinook]

If you reread my original post you would see I don’t really like Gordon. This idea of pearl clutching whenever the idea of trading a draft pick for a known NBA quantity is specifically annoying to me.

I don't think you appreciate how valuable firsts are in the NBA. 20 and 26 can get a lotto pick, so unless you also think lotto picks should be traded for just okay players, it doesn't make sense to criticize them like they're nothing. Second, how often do you think multiple firsts are actually traded? It's not that common, even for stars. George, Kawhi, Butler, Paul and Irving all went for one pick or no picks. The Mavs gave up multiple picks for Doncic and Porzingas, but the former was a trade-up in the draft and the latter was a much bigger gamble than people acknowledge.

Second, unless you think White and Murray are just blech players, it doesn't make sense to piss on the Spurs' ability to use those picks to get better than "known NBA quantities". It's not an accident that the team gets "steals" every year. If they see the forward equivalents of Murray and White (say KZ Okpala and Brandon Clarke), I'd rather let them decide how badly they want to keep their picks.

[Duncan87]

Who reported any thing on Aaron Gordon? Or just thoughts

[exstatic]

If you reread my original post you would see I don’t really like Gordon. This idea of pearl clutching whenever the idea of trading a draft pick for a known NBA quantity is specifically annoying to me.

He’s an overpaid tweener F who never developed, but he got paid anyway. If you don’t like Gordon, you’re the one pearl clutching by reflexively taking a position.

[DAF86]

Both Pelicans and Spurs.

Demar doesn't do anything for the Pels (assuming Davis and Holiday are gone) & Holiday is local, liked, and cheaper... As it stands, they are tanking again.

There is no fit with SAS, as this makes their roster overload at the 1 - 2 even worse, while making 3 a bigger hole... SAS isn't in Lux tax trouble if they keep Demar, so there is very little point to such a trade.

Meh, Holiday would do a better job guarding opposing SF's than DeRozan, so I don't see this whole "hole at SF" thing.

I would do Holiday for DeRozan in a heartbeat, tbh. But I'm sure neither Pop nor NOLA would even consider the possibility.

[Degoat]

Who reported any thing on Aaron Gordon? Or just thoughts

I think zach Lowe mentioned the spurs being interested in an article, I think it was pure speculation on his part and no actual source of knowledge

[DAF86]

Spurs have guys to guard James already, and Gordon isn't checking Davis better than Aldridge does.

Like who? Gay? And please, don't say Cunningham.

[Chinook]

Like who? Gay? And please, don't say Cunningham.

Cun, Gay and DeRozan. It's like no one watched the games this year. No one's gonna shut down Lebron, and no defensive gameplan should be based on doing so. But someone can play their assignment, make James go where the D wants him to and come down with the rebounds. That's more than someone like Carroll has been able to do, and you don't give up two picks and pay $80 Million hoping that Gordon can learn to do it.

I'm not advocating for Gordon specifically, tbh. And I know nobody is going to completely stop Lebron but it would nice to have somebody that would be able to limit him to less than 37 ppg on 60% shooting, tbh.

[Chinook]

I'm not advocating for Gordon specifically, tbh. And I know nobody is going to completely stop Lebron but it would nice to have somebody that would be able to limit him to less than 37 ppg on 60% shooting, tbh.

For his career, James has averaged 28ppg on 51-percent shooting against the Spurs. Last year, he went for 31 on 50-percent shooting. This year, he got 36 on 53-percent shooting. The Spurs have gotten him for a game or two, but it's not like he's consistently been held down by the team over the years. He had that one game where he went full video game to beat the Spurs. Otherwise, the team worked their game plan really well this year.

[Spurch]

I'm not so sure holiday or mirotic will work, a much better fit is vucevic from Orlando magic, he is a free agent this summer.

[FkLA]

Honestly, who cares about LeGOAT this season. The main worry (if contending is the goal) should be who to throw at Curry-Thompson-Durbeta. White-Green-Nephew would've been the absolute perfect trio to defend them but that autistic faggot had to go and fuck it all up. Fucking piece of shit.

[FkLA]

You should make the thread title longer. It's too short.

[Ron Swanson]

You should make the thread title longer. It's too short.

It's kinda vague, too.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I'm pretty confused about what your saying. I think you should add more info in the thread title to fix the problem

[Spurch]

Sorry this was supposed to be a reply to another thread. I'm new here so I'm still making mistakes using the forum lol

[Play Boban]

He’s going to Dallas tbqh.

[DAF86]

No, Vucevic isn't a better fit than Holiday or Mirotic. Not with Aldridge on the team.

[Dverde]

Yes, I can complain, this is what we do on Spurstalk. I have no problem trading a pick or two if it helps us this year and next. Are you saying you wouldn’t?

[Dverde]

He’s an overpaid tweener F who never developed, but he got paid anyway. If you don’t like Gordon, you’re the one pearl clutching by reflexively taking a position.

You busted me. I’m the pearl clutcher. Well played!

[R to the P McMurphy]

If the Spurs could get Gordon for their 2 in the 20s first rounders, plus someone to match contracts, you do that shit. Watched a ton of Gordon in college and he was a beastly defender back then. He's long, athletic, his 3 pt shot has increased every damn year on the shit magic, and he's still only 23 or so. If Pop/spurs got a hold of gordon and worked their developmental magic, my god, it gives me wood thinking about what he could become.

[phxspurfan]

So the Spurs should go for the old Twin Towers system again, in the age of the 6'5" tweener?

[cjw]

Stop it with this Simmons love. He doesn’t belong in the NBA. He had a nice run a few years ago in the playoffs, but there are way better options out there that don’t have any money attached to them next season.


I doubt the Magic give up Aaron Gordon for two crappy first round picks. It is the Magic though so you never know. Gordon did take a paycut by accepting a contract that decreases over time so they could chase bigger free agents going forward. If they were smart they would trade Ross to any team willing to take Mozgov’s contract. This would free them up to have a single max slot for next year.

They did trade Oladipo for a 28 going on 40 year old Serge Ibaka.

[BWS-1994]

It’s a probably a long shot, but if they’re after a Magic player, I think Jonathan Isaac will be better.

[Chinook]

White was actually the guy I wanted to start at PG going into last season. I just thought he fit best with that unit as a scorer who could take the play-making burden from Leonard but also defend his position. This White for sure would have completed that unit.

I don’t care what he did or looked like in college. He’s not in college anymore. He’s on his second contract in the NBA, a contract that pays him 8 figures every year. His game hasn’t really improved, and frankly, what incentive does he have to work on it? He’s in the NBA, and got his big contract. The problem with high draft picks that don’t shine is that their teams hang onto them WAY too long, and by the time they are ready to move on, they’re overpaid and under developed. Smart teams don’t give up multiple first rounders and pay like 4/$80M hoping that he develops. That’s the recipe to become the Knicks.

[RodNIc91]

Everybody knows that. I disagree though, Gordon has enough foot speed and a decent 3-point shot. He can easily play the 3. If you want to go smaller you slot DeRozan in at the 3 and move Gordon to the 4. People said the same shit about Demarre Carroll yet he moved well and killed us from 3 in the last game. And if you think Dante Cunningham or Rudy Gay are better options to guard LeBron you're retarded


Great post. I've always wanted Gordon, though it seems he has hit his ceiling already.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not a fan of Gordon, but it's moreso due to his soft demeanor(typical light skinned) and tendency to disappear throughout games..

I wouldn't write him off yet, though..post-SVG Orlando is where talent is wasted..very poorly constructed team and questionable direction, they're still letting a scrub like Fournier use way too many possessions..

Burks and Hood weird for Spurs maybe for Cunningham and Qpon to get waived

[RC_Drunkford]

It's save to say the Spurs are trying to move Pau. Burks and Hood for Pau works. The question is why would you give up a first rounder for 2 expiring contracts?

[RC_Drunkford]

People said Carroll couldn't guard perimeter players anymore. Last game didn't seem to prove he could. Anyway, the Spurs faced Lebron four times this season and did their jobs. Folks are crazy to act like he's been a problem for the team this year. You're apparently hoping for a LAL playoff series to justify this trade, but not only is it not even guaranteed that big, bad Lebron even makes the playoffs this year, it's also pretty apparent that Gordon really isn't a good defensive player anyway.

Nah I actually hope the Lakers don't make the playoffs at all. Gordon might not be a good defender for the Magic, but if he plays for Pop that will change. Pop made David Lee, DeRozan and other players who were known to be bad on D play decent defense, it's almost a given he would make Gordon a solid defender. And he's 23, he didn't hit his ceiling yet.

People here want Otto Porter and his bad contract, but when you compare his numbers to Gordon, Gordon is actually ahead in points, boards and assists while only being 2.8% worse from 3. Gordon is also 2 years younger and on a way better contract than Porter and has a better defensive rating

That's the big question. Many players out there have expiring contracts and if last year was any indicator, you can acquire these players on the cheap in the offseason.

But Burks and Hood are both SFs.... so maybe they can do better than Cunningham and Pondexter.

they are actually SGs. Would like to have a little more size at the 3, but they can play it and are good 3-point shooters. Would improve the team this year, I just wouldn't like to give up a first rounder for them.

[cd021]

Yes, I can complain, this is what we do on Spurstalk. I have no problem trading a pick or two if it helps us this year and next. Are you saying you wouldn’t?

I have no problem trading one of the two picks but only if it makes sense so long as the player fits. Giving up two is silly because it is almost certainly a drastic overpay unless it's for a very good player on a multi year deal.

Being loose with draft assets is how Memphis got into trouble, Spurs historically have done an excellent job of making the most of low first's, giving them two cracks at finding another steal sounds much better than many of the trade options I have seen.

I would actually prefer to move the Toronto pick IF we could acquire a good player on a multi-year deal. We have an unusually high number of young players (that I like); adding two more young prospects to develop doesn't sound like the Spurs - and for good reason. Too many young guys is not optimal roster construction. A good young veteran would be preferable to another young prospect. My second preference would be to trade both firsts to move into the lottery - assuming there is a targeted player available.

[CGD]

I’m inclined to stand pat. The calculus has changed: this is about bringing in young cost controlled talent during these transition years and less about making a move to beef up a roster for championship run now.

I don’t know enough about Gordon (Orlando seems like a painful team to watch). But that seems like the TYPE of move that could make sense: a misfit/reclamation project that the team sees something in, who is in his early 20s to match the White-Murray core, and has some level of cost control.

Don’t see the point in going after a player who is on the DDR or LMA timeline (like Ariza) to be honest. Rather the spurs keep the picks and take the benefit of stretching Gasol. Make moves for “stars” or players to set themselves up for 2 years from now.

Cheap, no financial commitment, since he’s a UFA this summer. I’m not even sure his Bird Rights convey, since he accepted his year 5 QO. I might flip a second rounder, or wait for buyout time.

I think it’s wrong to compare us to Memphis. Most of Memphis’ mistakes were done via Free Agency. Giving out bad contracts to Chandler Parsons, Jymichael Green, Kyle Anderson. Giving the supermax to Conley. They have changed coaches three times in six seasons. We have plenty of young players right now. If we don’t have a first round pick one year the world will keep spinning. We used draft and stash draft picks all the time. Sometime you have to “overpay” to get a player you want via trade.

Nah I actually hope the Lakers don't make the playoffs at all. Gordon might not be a good defender for the Magic, but if he plays for Pop that will change.

And he's 23, he didn't hit his ceiling yet.

I don't hate Gordon as much as some folks here do. I just don't think he can play the three. Like I think a Gay, Gordon, Aldridge perimeter would struggle. The Magic have tried playing Aaron at the three his whole career and it just hasn't worked, and giving up assets and committing to a long-term deal in the hopes he can figure it out doesn't jive with me. Also, I don't think it makes sense to say Pop would make Gordon a good defender. Pop doesn't turn crap into gold. He targets players he thinks can work and adds them. In that regard, if the Spurs were to trade for Gordon, I'd be fine with it, because it would suggest they had a plan to get the best out of him. I just think that would be more as a Gay replacement at the four than it would be as a three in this current roster.

Memphis has flubbed numerous first round over the past dozen seasons that could've changed their prospect's (the Thabeet picks) as well as shipping away their 2011, 2013 and 2017 picks with not really anything to show for it other than a brief stint of Shane Battier. That doesn't even include the disastrous trade with the Celtics that will cost them a high lottery pick sooner or later.

I am not saying that not having a pick is a nightmare bit sounds like you're saying that the Spurs should just give these picks away this year but don't have a specific trade in mind.

Moving the Raptors pick may be useful but it is probably better to keep the 21st and 28th picks and try to package them for like the 14 pick and potientially grabbing a wing that could help us for a decade.

NOP turns Mirotic into a future asset, CLE tanks harder for Zion and gets a FRP and a SRP as a profit ...

You think either CLE or NOP would do it with less going to them? SAS, IMO is getting the cream of the players involved, and saving money (and future space). Would CLE do it just for the TOR pick?

I'd rather eat Gasol's money than pay a first to get rid of it. Getting out of his contract at this point isn't really incentive for me to do anything. I have no idea if Cleveland would do it for less. Maybe they'd trade Hood for a second if the Spurs just sent Cun out. As I said, Mirotic doesn't interest me at all.

[duncan2150]

I agree with chinook here, plus you could have something this summer with that gasol contract. Maybe move up in the draft if We take a bad contract from another team.

[DPG21920]

I agree with chinook here, plus you could have something this summer with that gasol contract. Maybe move up in the draft if We take a bad contract from another team.

So I’ve seen this a few times now and wanted to correct a common misconception regarding Pau’s deal. If he’s not traded at this deadline his contract loses all value.

In order for a team to take advantage of sending out equal money then waiving Pau it has to be this deadline. After that, in a trade Paus outgoing salary would be only 6.7M.

So it has to be this deadline. I’m with Chinook too. Spurs getting rid of 6.7M is not really worth much considering they likely wouldn’t be FA players even with all of Paus money gone. If they want to be FA players it would take moving Mills and Pau.

[DPG21920]

Regarding Gordon: he would absolutely be a Rudy replacement. Spurs, if trading for Gordon would basically be saying we feel paying Gordon that money is better than an aging Rudy. Rudy seems on course to cash in a 2-3 year deal for maybe 30-45M.

SA may not want to pay him that but could want to pay Gordon.

[acoelho1]

I do think the Spurs need more physicality on the wing in the playoffs. Maybe Damyean Dotson, who I believe the Spurs were interested in him earlier in the year. I definitely think he has untapped potential that the Spurs would unlock and it shouldn’t require a 1st rd pick.

[mo7888]

I'm also in the camp that says Gordon is absolutely a 4 and would take Gay's spot. I think it makes sense to send Gay out in the deal someway. If I could use Gay and Pau somehow to do a 3 team deal that resulted in Gordon and a SF I think that would be the best we can do right now. Maybe that SF is Hood as people are talking about here or maybe it's someone else but that's what I would try and construct right now.

[R. DeMurre]

I just don't think Gordon is the answer. He makes triple the salary of Bertans and I doubt he even moves the goalposts for the Spurs as a team.
I'd hold out for a better fit, an actual SF, rather than paying Gordon.

Honestly, at this point I think many of the issues the Spurs have are solved by giving White and Bertans a combined extra 10-12 minutes per game, and taking away those same minutes from Forbes, DeRozan, and Gasol.

edit- I didn’t realize he’s a center, pass

[TD 21]

I've given thought to Gordon before, but he'd definitely have to be a Gay replacement. The alternative is just too expensive for what would otherwise be a somewhat awkward fit and for a team with a still sub championship ceiling.

It's not happening, but Murray, Gasol, 1st for Gordon is interesting. It would mean more significant change for probably no more than marginal improvement, but it would streamline the roster and take care of a multitude of issues . . .

- Murray's possible (probable?) awkward fit with the starters or a potential Murray/White controversy (the roster isn't set up for them to play much together going forward).
- Solves the Forbes conundrum and opens a path to a rotation spot for Walker.
- Eliminates the heavy reliance on gimpy Gay, boosts the athleticism and adds a more ideal big wing defender.




Like who? Gay? And please, don't say Cunningham.

Good thing a Lakers series is virtually impossible, because even if what he were saying was true, barring a trade it would mean Cunningham would have to be a rotation player.

Being able to do something faintly resembling a passable job on James is virtually meaningless if you're not also a threat offensively.



I'm not a fan of Gordon, but it's moreso due to his soft demeanor(typical light skinned) and tendency to disappear throughout games..


I wouldn't write him off yet, though..post-SVG Orlando is where talent is wasted..very poorly constructed team and questionable direction, they're still letting a scrub like Fournier use way too many possessions..

Woj reporting Davis has given the pels a list of teams that he'd be willing to sign long term with.

That's a bullshit list in my opinion. None of those teams have ANYTHING the Pelicans want at this point. Leach Paul wants those listed teams to put together offers for the Pelicans so it will make the Lakers offer look like they're giving away the store. Just trash antics. Stay Strong Pels! FUCK THE LA LEBRONS.

CLIPPERS
KNICKS
BUCKS
LAKERS

No mention of Celtics which is an absolute joke. Lebron and his posse are absolutely terrified of the offer Boston can put together for Davis.

[Chillen]

If the Lakers/Pelicans trade goes through wouldn't it leave the Lakers roster pretty gutted. They already are 2 games out of the playoffs and AD and James is a good duo but you still need a complete team to win a chip. Ingram, Ball, Kuzma on pretty low contracts so if a deal happens it will likely be a 3 team trade. Just saying AD/Bron is good but not if the roster is gutted I know they will sign some scrubs if a deal goes down.

I hope NO gets a better offer for AD and takes it.

Yep you get AD and Lebron, and LA is an attractive place to go play again. Lebron already moved the needle for them, AD would be huge. You swing for the fences when that kind of talent is out there, that's why Celtics, LA and 76's have egg on their faces for trying to low ball the spurs for Kawhi. Toronto now has the best chance in their history to make the finals because they were willing to take that chance.

Potential talent doesn’t win championships, proven talent does.

It doesn't matter. Those scrubs aren't taking LBJ past the Dubs and I'm sure he knows this is building for next season. If you can get AD and lebron you don't pass it up Imo especially since none of the Lakers assets have anywhere close to superstar potential

Lonzo has excluded the Lakers from his bio on twitter

The Celtics will probably take Tatum off the table once Kyrie decides to bolt so waiting for the summer to trade AD might not be the best move. Take the best package by the trade deadline and be done with it, this news is just hovering over your franchise and it's nothing but disrespect towards it.

He doesn't want to be on your team anymore, I like what the Knicks did by shipping Kristaps to Dallas fast with no drama.

I just don't know why the Spurs haven't made an offer for Davis yet, they really should.

Lakers offer isn't the best but sometimes you have to take less for a star (Kawhi deal).

[Leetonidas]

I'm sure the Spurs have made an offer. I'm sure every single team in the league has. Just because it hasn't been posted on Twitter doesn't mean teams aren't having discussions tbh

Yeah I would sure hope the Spurs made an offer for AD. I bet DeMar and LMA weren't included though, Pels quickly hung the phone up. Just speculation. I know why Irving wasn't traded to Spurs though it's because LeBron knew he was going to be a Lakers player.

Honestly? With what LA is offering, I'd take Jaylen Brown and salary filler, plus one of Boston's two GOOD picks. That would be a good deal for Boston, and net more return than LA's dumpster fire shit sandwich package.

[DAF86]

If I were the Pelicans, I would use the Rockets' trade offer of 4 1st round picks to get Butler, a player half as good as Davis. Any team wanting AD should start with that: 4 first round picks.

Tatum, Brown and a couple good picks is an offer that blows the Lakers offer out of the water. And if I'm the Celtics, I do it in a second.

The only reason AD's camp is saying Celtics didn't make "the list" is because they want the Pelicans to trade AD before the deadline and he literally can't be traded to the Celtics until the summer. Come summertime, if AD is still on the Pelicans, the Celtics will suddenly be an approved team.

[DAF86]

Bucks are on a hard place, tbh. Logic says you do anything to get AD, but, as built right now, they have as big a chance as anyone to win the championship, and I doubt trading half their team for AD improves those chances. In fact, it will probably decrease them, at least for this season.

Giannis and AD wouldn't be one of the greatest fits either.

[Hoops Czar]

I don't think you appreciate how valuable firsts are in the NBA. 20 and 26 can get a lotto pick, so unless you also think lotto picks should be traded for just okay players, it doesn't make sense to criticize them like they're nothing. Second, how often do you think multiple firsts are actually traded? It's not that common, even for stars. George, Kawhi, Butler, Paul and Irving all went for one pick or no picks. The Mavs gave up multiple picks for Doncic and Porzingas, but the former was a trade-up in the draft and the latter was a much bigger gamble than people acknowledge.

Second, unless you think White and Murray are just blech players, it doesn't make sense to piss on the Spurs' ability to use those picks to get better than "known NBA quantities". It's not an accident that the team gets "steals" every year. If they see the forward equivalents of Murray and White (say KZ Okpala and Brandon Clarke), I'd rather let them decide how badly they want to keep their picks.

That makes two of you.

Clippers would be a better long term destination than the Lakers. Kawhi, AD and possibly Kyrie would kill it in the Western conference. When Lebron Retires/declines, the Lakers situation wouldn't be much different than the Hornet's current situation especially if they have to gut the roster for Davis.

[Leetonidas]

:spin Yesterday, you were preaching the value of first round picks. Today they are garbage if from the Lakers.

The 29th or 30th pick in two consecutive years and scrubs for a top 5 player is completely different than potentially two picks in one year from 18-28. Especially more valuable to a team that drafts and develops well like SA. For a team like NO that will be rebuilding for awhile in the lottery an extra pick at the end of the first round ain't worth it

Val is injured, but apparently means a lot to the toronto defense. Not sure where he is financially. I think would be a good trade for Toronto...

[Chillen]

People forget when Memphis made the WCF with great play from Conley and Gasol. Perhaps they are just bored in Memphis at this point, maybe a change of scenery will help their games.

Toronto should do this deal because even if Kawhi leaves they will still have a good team in the East.

Why do people like you insist on seeing trades only from a talent perspective? It's painfully obvious that not only has Memphis peaked, they're seriously beginning to slide backwards, and need to rebuild. To do that, they need to dump huge long term contracts. This trade accomplishes that. This shit has been going on since Orlando in 1999, and people still don't understand.

[Chillen]

They could probably quickly flip Lowry for picks, etc. So this trade would be a salary dump for Memphis, not a talent for talent trade. Conley and Gasol also will be in the East, so Memphis should take this deal. For Toronto this deal makes sense in case Kawhi leaves, they still have a good team.

Meh, it's not about the talent only, you're essentially saying they simply want to dump both but no team would do it for expirings so they'll have to take on Lowry's terrible deal and the possibility of Jonas opting in. With this deal they'll be just in line to gift Boston the No.1 pick in 2021.

[exstatic]

They can blow up the team a year earlier.

Conley will likely vest 2020-2021 by playing 55 games this year for the first time since his contract kicked in, so, two years. Bad timing for Memphis, but he has way too little tread left on the tires to build around, even if this health 'scare' is a mirage.

Perfect timing to blow it up - when they'll owe their pick to Boston, unprotected (unless they're decent next year).

Nope. Before you collect the young players and picks, your cap sheet has to be clean. NO ONE is trading them young players OR picks for a couple of 30-somethings that make a ton of money. When your cap sheet is clean, you rent your cap space out a year at a time for youngsters or picks. When you collect enough of both, your team will take off.
