Something must have happened with that Marc Gasol deal, perhaps maybe Spurs talking, Toronto talking. Memphis is definitely going to move him before the deadline but I don't think the Hornets trade is a done deal yet. If it was it would have been announced by now and Hornets did not sit out any key players tonight.

prince is one of my wishlist guys, but I just can’t see the spurs doing a deal at this point. I hope I’m wrong though

[HarlemHeat37]

What is it with Jordan’s obsession with white centers?

There's nothing Jordan hates more than writing cheques for Black people, tbh..

[timtonymanu]

If the Spurs don’t even reach out about Prince, they’re definitely standing pat. Get ready to see Gasol’s minutes increase after the ASB and more Forbes shooting us out of games

[Robz4000]

With White out possibly until the middle of March the Spurs basically have to make a move for a defender. If not they risk falling out of the playoffs.

Good news it appears Lakers aren’t a threat. Only have to worry about Clips and Kings.

[DPG21920]

This Laker situation was beyond botched by Magic and Co. If they don’t land AD after whiffing on Kawhi and PG while at the same time alienating and tanking their youth’s value it is so dire that again Magic should be fired.

It's especially bad because that was the only reason for hiring Magic:lol

Lakers have been an embarrassment as a franchise in the progressive, analytics era..they look so lost without being able to do what they always did, which is rely exclusively on the appeal of being a celebrity in LA..

[TD 21]

I'd imagine the Lakers make at least one other minor trade to clear up the logjam (Caldwell-Pope?), because they already had too many veteran rotation types, many of whom are volatile.


Prince sucks and I would be pretty bummed if SA traded for him tbh

Prince is closer to a slightly bigger Snell than he is a true 3 and D wing, but he's not necessarily a finished product and still easily the best realistic option.

Forbes and a 1st likely gets it done, but they don't have the balls to make that type of trade in season. Maybe in the off season, but he could be gone before then.

Think there's an outside chance they trade for Johnson, but I expect nothing as usual because they're probably too concerned with their precious culture and "system" to alter their mighty fringe playoff team.

And before you bring up the draft picks, they'll just be hoping to select someone with the profile of one of them and even if successful, by the time they get them up and running, Aldridge and Gay will more than likely be past their prime.

[Dverde]

Pat Riley about to swoop in and get AD. Whiteside and whoever else they want.

I guess retirement for Wade has to be postponed. Why the fuck he’s in the ASG then?? :lol

[Ditty]

Just keep both 1st round picks and move up more in the lottery to get someone you really like. Don’t trade a first round to get rid of Gasol’s horrible contract and trade for a player that has a been a bust so far.

[MoSpur02]

Pacers fans are the real MVP. They torched McGee at the free throw line. There's a picture of LeBron James sitting at the end of the bench separated from his teammates by two or three chairs. :lmao

Such a great teammate. The "Greatest of all time" can't be in the same camera shot as a bunch of scrubs.

[Degoat]

My thing is sure it would be sweet to keep both 1st round picks, I always love the draft and the summer league team but let’s not act like Pop will actually play who ever it is they draft. He’ll be stashed in the g-league and developed which has worked great for the spurs but we don’t have much time left with pop coaching I think.

[FireMicoHalili]

if the Lakers somehow land Davis and get Walton fired in favor of Mark Jackson (Klutch client), Klutch would have a significant hold over the Lakers' organization. In addition to LeBron and KCP, LA can land another Klutch client this summer, whether it's Leonard or Thompson. I'm not sure that's ideal for the Lakers as an organization, since Klutch clients can leverage themselves for bigger salaries or ask to be traded whenever they want to be traded. We're not even sure whether it's Maginka or Rich Paul calling the shots. I'm thrilled Demps isn't caving in to pressure but 48 hours is still a lot of time to get a deal done.

[FireMicoHalili]

if Snell is a defensive wing maybe Gasol + a 2nd for Snell and Maker would work? Or they can add the Raps' pick, though Maker isn't worth that much at this point.

id be down for that trade, but I don’t think the bucks would be unless there’s a first round pick and I doubt the spurs would do that then lol

Thats what makes it so bad. They literally had the deck completely stacked in their favor with PG, Kawhi and now AD all demanding trades to the Lakers just for the appeal of being in LA; nothing to do with merit.

So LA still has that appeal obviously and even with that built in advantage they put themselves in this situation?

[DPG21920]

Bruh, watch him play and read about him from the people that cover the team. He’s not good. I mean, he should be, on paper, but he’s not good.

I’m not giving up a first for him and Forbes is a better player too actually.

I’m not giving up a first for him and Forbes is a better player too actually.

The Snell comparison was my way of saying: He looks the part of a 3 and D wing, but he's not actually a good defender. Nonetheless, he at least has the physical tools, has shown flashes earlier in his career and is still young enough to where he could end up being neutral or slightly better if put on a team where he'd have a defined role. Combine that with his being a threat on offense and the dearth of options otherwise and he's worth it.

Or they can waste what's left of the prime of their core by hoping to get a more intriguing piece with non lottery picks . . . because solid or better 3 and D wings with size are always available around 20 and 30.

DPG wants the Spurs to trade for Otto Porter's average ass and pay him $27,000,000/per for 3 season :lol

I don’t get this mindset though. He’s not a good player. You don’t give up chances (picks) and better players (Forbes) for guys who aren’t good.

Money aside, he’s a much better player than guys who have been mentioned, so yeah.

[TheGreatYacht]

Money aside, he’s a much better player than guys who have been mentioned, so yeah.
That's a lot of money to throw aside. Much less to give up a first rounder (like you suggested you would gladly give up) for an average role player.

[TD 21]

I don’t get this mindset though. He’s not a good player. You don’t give up chances (picks) and better players (Forbes) for guys who aren’t good.

He's barely played 2+ seasons. Guess what? Forbes was a fringe NBA player until this season. He's a rotation caliber player now. Players can improve and context often plays a significant role in their success or lack thereof.

The mentality is, they tried to straddle the line between winning and re-building, so they might as well give their core a reasonable chance at a few decent playoff runs, so long as they're not mortgaging their future in the process.

[timtonymanu]

The words Forbes and better player do not go together. :lol

I get the logic, but not every player with a mold turns into gold. I think Prince sucks. I would be very pissed if SA traded a first round pick for him given that after the draft and getting actual nba tape on a player their value goes up or down (and his is down).

Right now, Forbes is better and not that much older, and is definitely a better player.

[DPG21920]

Obviously. It would be a calculated risk. If they drafted a wing with Prince's physical tools and shooting ability, this board would be thrilled. Giving up a 20ish pick, where they'd be highly unlikely to find that combination, is worth it.

Debatable, but Forbes has no place on this roster going forward. Prince would.

[Degoat]

Rockets discussing Brandon knight and a first round pick for Alec burks. I know Cavs are taking on knights salary but giving up a first round pick just for burks!! That’s crazy

[Twisted_Dawg]

There is one thing he hates more....writing checks for his gambling debts.

He’ll be stashed in the g-league and developed which has worked great for the spurs but we don’t have much time left with pop coaching I think.

With the Rap pick being very late in the draft, chances of the Spurs drafting a Euro goon to stash who will never ever make it here are high. Or, they can revert to the Peter Holt Model and trade down into the second round because they dont want to give out a guaranteed contract.
Chances of them being innovative and moving up in the draft by trading both picks to move up, or trading a pick and a player to move up are slim.

AD to the Clips!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Clippers will drop out of the playoffs race now, good for the Lakers..

[YGWHI]

I would love to see LeBron face if Clippers get AD over Lakers.

Sixers' lineup with Simmons Butler Harris Embiid is likely the best/deepest in the East.

[szkorhetz]

Philly going all in.

[Robz4000]

Damn, crazy how the East has 4 of the 5 best teams in the NBA, but the bottom is a tankfest:lol

Not if they turn those picks around for AD. Chandler, Muscala, SGA, both picks, and a Clips pick is loads better than anything the Lakers can do.

[Robz4000]

I would love to see LeBron face if Clippers get AD over Lakers.

Sixers' lineup with Simmons Butler Harris Embiid is likely the best in the East. Too much deep and talent with getting Harris

There's only one ball and none of them are great shooters outside Embiid (whom you'd want closer to the basket), even considering Harris' improvements from three. Not sure why they made this trade.

[HarlemHeat37]

^^Harris is shooting 42% from 3 and is accustomed to playing off the ball, he's never been a ball-dominant player..should provide much needed spacing and depth..

[BatManu20]

1093050654589927424

I'll take your word for it. Admittedly haven't watched much of him the past few years outside a few games. I know he's improved as a shooter but not by that much.

I like the Mike Scott addition, as well..another stretch 4 and proven depth as a 9th man or so(struggling this season, but history of killing the Raptors)

The East is going to be a war with those 4 teams..

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Interesting trade, I like it for both teams, a bit surprised Philly gave so many picks. They'll have a very expensive roster when they pay everyone.

If Boban is bought out I'd take him as a 3rd center in case Pau gets traded for a wing.

[objective]

Not if they turn those picks around for AD. Chandler, Muscala, SGA, both picks, and a Clips pick is loads better than anything the Lakers can do.

Don't think Chandler or Muscala can be combined or sent out with other players before the deadline

Anthony Davis and Kawhi next year..maybe the most fragile star duo in NBA history, but damn..

[YGWHI]

raps should do what it takes to get conley & gasol.

They should but I doubt that Toronto has what Memphis wants

Can you imagine a defensive lineup with Mike Conley Danny Green Kawhi Leonard and Marc?

[Coach X]

Clippers throwing away his playoffs chances us good news for Spurs. Playing the “please sign here and let’s start from zero” has risks. They can ask their neighbors, they’re having fun now. Increasing Lakers playoff chances though.

Sixers adding another star when they still haven’t adapted 100% to Butler. Real playoffs in the East after James move to the West.

More trades coming, the league splitting in two big groups: all-in now vs tank-and-pray. There is not enough championships, #1 draft picks, superstars for all of them. Teams forgetting there is no shortcuts in the way to success.

[HarlemHeat37]

They should but I doubt that Toronto has what Memphis wants

Can you imagine a defensive lineup with Mike Conley Danny Green Kawhi Leonard and Marc?

Nothing would really shock me with Ujiri, especially knowing that Kawhi is likely a 1-year rental, might as well go all-in..

[cd021]

There's nothing Jordan hates more than writing cheques for Black people, tbh..

Yeah that was disproven a long time ago iirc.

[szkorhetz]

Wilson Chandler might be available.

[Indianman]

How is the player that the Lakers did trade for from the Pistons? He any good?

[MoSpur02]

Clippers again starting from zero. I really wanted the Spurs to get Harris last summer for Kawhi. The Clippers were plan B if the Raptors would've backed out. Harris just seemed like a better fit.

[Ignazzz]

He is fantastic prospect as every lakers young player ;)))))))))))

[MoSpur02]

If Chandler is bought out the Spurs need to look into to acquiring him. Also the Spurs should call up the Clippers and inquire about Bradley since they seem like sellers.

[HarlemHeat37]

If they're trying to tank, they should keep Bradley, he's probably the worst starter in the NBA:lol

I wonder if anybody will attempt to acquire Gallinari..really solid player, but gets injured every few weeks..

[r0drig0lac]

The words Forbes and better player do not go together. :lol

word, Forbes is not "much better" than absolutely no player in the league

[tbdog]

Harris is not a star. That is why every team just trades him away. Has anyone done a breakdown what Clips got for Griffin now?

[tbdog]

If they're trying to tank, they should keep Bradley, he's probably the worst starter in the NBA:lol

I wonder if anybody will attempt to acquire Gallinari..really solid player, but gets injured every few weeks..

I love Galli. But we don't need that combo forward like Gay or Bertans or Cunningham. We need strictly a wing.

[Chinook]

Harris is not a star. That is why every team just trades him away. Has anyone done a breakdown what Clips got for Griffin now?

Yeah. This is the FOURTH team that has had him on this same contract. That's completely bananas. Dude's a good player, but teams seem to keep hoping he becomes more than he is then dumping him once they figure out that's not gonna happen.

I wouldn't mind Gallo for Gasol at all. I wouldn't pay to make it happen (in fact, I'd want a second), but he's a decent hedge against Gay wanting a long-term deal in the summer, and even if they keep Gay, having four rotation-caliber forwards would make it easier to stomach when Pop keeps the rookie forwards in Austin all year.

[John B]

Wow anyway Spurs get into all these actions? Pau’s expiring to teams trying to clear space for AD/KD. Get in there RC!

[San Antonio Slayer]

How is the player that the Lakers did trade for from the Pistons? He any good?

Svi would rape all the 3 point contest this year, even with Bertans participating

[KDKSpurs24]

Svi would rape all the 3 point contest this year, even with Bertans participating
Seems like he was referring to Reggie Bullock..

[Texas_Ranger]

Spurs value their 1st round pick who will become the next Kyle Anderson way too much to trade it.

[exstatic]

If Batum is part of the trade to Memphis, I don't see them keeping him. I think he'd be bought out. If that happens that would be good pickup for the Spurs.


Batum isn’t going anywhere.

Yeah, Batam is signed through 2020-2021.

Good trade for Philly but just killed their bench lost Shamet and Muscala

[YGWHI]

If Chandler is bought out the Spurs need to look into to acquiring him. Also the Spurs should call up the Clippers and inquire about Bradley since they seem like sellers.

Chandler is out after the ASG with a quad strain. I like him but if he starts to have quad's issues...Spurs fans have seen this movie before.

Harris has shown this season he can shoot the ball... The Spurs would be better and he would be a better fit with White and DJ than DeRozan.

DeRozan wouldn't feel by betrayed by Raptors

Kawhi would be happy in LA

I guess the Spurs knew that Clippers trade with Harris and picks was better than Toronto's offer but they didn't want to give Kawhi's camp what they wanted = a successful trade to LA.
I would understand if PATFO thought that yelieding to a player's demands would set a bad precedent for the franchise. But with Pop is always a war of egos and his "my way" over the team and everything.



Harris is not a star. That is why every team just trades him away. Has anyone done a breakdown what Clips got for Griffin now?

It doesn't matter if he's or not while he's playing like one. Way better than DeRozan in terms of consistency.

According to Matt Moore, Tobias Harris is 11th in pick and roll ball handler points per possession. Minumum 100 spot-ups, he’s the 9th best in spot-ups. Minimum 100 ISOS, he’s 7th. 20 ppg in 49/42/88 shooting

[Duncan87]

Starters Ben Simons,JJRedick ,Jimmy Butler,Tobias,Embiid. Not bad at all

[Coach X]

I wouldn't mind Gallo for Gasol at all. I wouldn't pay to make it happen (in fact, I'd want a second), but he's a decent hedge against Gay wanting a long-term deal in the summer, and even if they keep Gay, having four rotation-caliber forwards would make it easier to stomach when Pop keeps the rookie forwards in Austin all year.

Gallinari broke his hand punching a guy in a friendly match just before starting Eurobasket with his national team. He completely let down his team, being the designated leader of the group. It was an absolutely stupid action in a prep game, where he not only let down his teammates but the entire country he was representing. Italy Head Coach said "It's unacceptable. Disgraceful. It's hard to explain the meaning of ideas like loyalty and responsibility to a 30y old man." Ettore Messina was the coach.

I don't see Gallinari wearing a Spurs uniform.

Marc Gasol deal with Hornets falling apart:stirpot: Pau to Memphis

[Strategic]

Yeah. This is the FOURTH team that has had him on this same contract. That's completely bananas. Dude's a good player, but teams seem to keep hoping he becomes more than he is then dumping him once they figure out that's not gonna happen.I’ve watched Harris a few times, mostly against the Spurs over the years. He’s been forced(?) to carve out a career with the Magic, Pistons and a gutted Clipper team. He hasn’t looked to be a superstar good enough to advance a team very far. Now he’s getting a chance to be a contributor on what should be a highly competitive team. Actually, he may just be a 4th option. On paper looks like very good move by the Sixers, IMO.

What really sucks is that if the Spurs landed Harris he would probably be 1st or 2nd option. Ouch!

[FireMicoHalili]

It doesn't matter if he's or not while he's playing like one. Way better than DeRozan in terms of consistency.

According to Matt Moore, Tobias Harris is 11th in pick and roll ball handler points per possession. Minumum 100 spot-ups, he’s the 9th best in spot-ups. Minimum 100 ISOS, he’s 7th. 20 ppg in 49/42/88 shooting
Wanted Harris in favor of DeRozan back in the off-season. The Spurs rely heavily on three-point shooting to win games. Harris was adequate in that regard. DeRozan’s play-making has been fantastic but I don’t know how he and Murray fit together moving forward; one of them has to learn to shoot threes and there isn’t any tangible proof Murray is skilled enough to shoot from distance.

[Dverde]

Clippers doing the smart thing. Weird saying that.

[Dverde]

Clippers seem to be making cap space...how about Danilo Gallinari for Gasol, 2nd round pick and filler? We’d put a stranglehold on the NBA Italian fans.

[Mugen]

this is why the Logo is the GOAT executive tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Rare trade that’s good for both teams. Holy chit that starting 5 for Philly is scary.

It’s daring for the Clippers to start from scratch again but Jerry West is a genius. They must be confident.

[Mugen]

If they're trying to tank, they should keep Bradley, he's probably the worst starter in the NBA:lol

I wonder if anybody will attempt to acquire Gallinari..really solid player, but gets injured every few weeks..

I mean the Spurs probably should make an offer considering he's basically Rudy Gay at this point with one year longer on his contract.....Pau and a 2nd should be enough.

Stanley Johnson for Macker. Looks like spurs are going to do absolutely nothing

[TimDunkem]

FINALLY. The 3 year SJ saga is over. Can we stop talking about the guy now?

[sasaint]

We got Brent. Hopefully some of that shit rubs off.

Not until Pop is gone.

[sasaint]

Just because the guy changed teams? Nah, just a new trade partner per ST.

Bye bye Stanley Johnson. All the dreamers of re-anchoring the perimeter d back to the sf position on suicide watch.

[TimDunkem]

Just because the guy changed teams? Nah, just a new trade partner per ST.

Guy is going to be a potential trade target for the Spurs until he retires.

[anon]

I wish Pop and Buford were trade targets. Looks like ownership are just waiting out their contracts. More of the same nothing.

[sasaint]

Guy is going to be a potential trade target for the Spurs until he retires.

He will be in China in a year or two. Then ST will wonder why the trade machine doesn't have Shan-dung on it.

[Clipper Nation]

Yeah. This is the FOURTH team that has had him on this same contract. That's completely bananas. Dude's a good player, but teams seem to keep hoping he becomes more than he is then dumping him once they figure out that's not gonna happen.
The main issue with Harris is that he wants a max deal despite not being that caliber of player. He's still a good player, great teammate, class act on and off the court, etc. but his asking price is simply too high.

[Clipper Nation]

Rare trade that’s good for both teams. Holy chit that starting 5 for Philly is scary.

It’s daring for the Clippers to start from scratch again but Jerry West is a genius. They must be confident.
I wouldn't say we're "starting from scratch." This iteration of the team was always going to be temporary. The focus has always been on the future, either with the big-name free agents on the market or building around Shai and Jerome.

[anon]

He will be in China in a year or two. Then ST will wonder why the trade machine doesn't have Shan-dung on it.
Roberson hasn't played nearly all year yet Presti hasn't shipped his offensive liability ass to China. Bucks picked up a Kawhi/Butler/Harris/Tatum defender who will prove his league value to postseason viewers in less than three months.

Go get Taurean Prince. He is a position of need and went to high school in San Antonio so would most likely love it and stay here. Seems like the type of players Spurs would love to have.

[Dverde]

[GusT15]

Forbes+ Toronto pick I would do personally. Move demar to the 2.

Prince is a good prospect,maybe he would get familiar with the Spurs system and become a solid 3D role playing wing and maybe he would bust out and go to China.

Either way his fair price is Cunningham and a 2nd rounder,not Forbes+1st.

You guys are gonna drive all the new posters away :lmao haven't you made stupid trade proposals?

[acoelho1]

I really like Gallo but doesn't really help our defense but a swap with Gasol would be good. Gallo only has 1 year left on his deal and maybe we can flip him next year. I do think if we are after more defense, Toronto's pick and Forbes would need to be involved but who is out there to really move the needle on that side of the ball.

Feasible trades:
Forbes, Cunningham and 2 2nd's for Melvin Frazier and Jonathan Simmons
Pondexter for Vince Carter
Bryn for Satoransky

[Larry O]

Hopfully for Lowry, if he were traded to the Grizz, he won't slip into a deeeep depression himself (maybe DePression will do it for him). My opinion is that Conley is the better PG than Lowry. But the bottom line is: some of these trade potentials may just end up in the back burner come trade deadline when some of these trade proposals between teams, never fulfill the transaction due to disputes over equal trade value exchanges, picks & salary matching. Let the trade rumor mill run!

Sixers acquire Malachi Richardson, Toronto’s 2022 second-round pick and the draft rights to Emir Preldzic in exchange for cash considerations in trade with the Raptors, (https://hoopshype.com/social/) according to sources

[SpurSpike]

Wjat do you think the cost would be?

If you want to make it interesting you could do Gasol and raptors 1st for Lin and Prince. Jeremy Lin will be a free agent in the summer so he doesn't hold much value but makes the trade work.

This opens up some cap space for the Spurs and the Hawks get a 1st round pick without giving up much in return depending on how they value Prince. May not be enough incentive for Hawks, idk.

Sometimes the tiny trade like this is the precursor to a larger deal. Toronto could be clearing a roster spot for a trade. They could also be clearing some cap to stay below the tax in a forthcoming trade.

Miami saves about $5M next year, assuming that TJ opts in, which he probably will. Ryan Anderson goes from about $20M this year down to $15M next. They also save about $6M this year by offloading WE's contract. PHO must have a trade exception to absorb the latter.

Current and future cap room is a commodity.

[TD 21]

Why would any playable wing sign with the Raptors? To fight for scraps at the back end of the rotation with 3 rotation caliber players (Wright, Powell, Miles) and not win a championship? If they want a fake championship, sign with the Warriors, where the competition is fringe player McKinnie. If they want real minutes while playing for a pseudo contender, sign with the 76ers, where the competition is fringe player Korkmaz.

Speaking of, I still see them as 4th in the East. Harris doesn't solve the fit/ego issues of their top 3 players nor their lack of wing/bench depth. He also won't get the usage to provide volume scoring and is a poor defender. They paid a steep price to probably still lose in the 2nd round and if they're successful in re-signing Butler and Harris, will spend astronomical money on 4 players, when only 1 is a top 10 player.

Gilgeous-Alexander probably isn't a good enough centerpiece for Davis, but he's a good fit for the Pelicans and along with Harrell, Shamet, Robinson and a boatload of picks (and they can easily acquire more by selling off Williams and Beverly, for starters) at least gets them closer to a legit package. Also gets them out of having to either overpay Harris or see him walk for nothing but cap space.

[MoSpur02]

Spurs need to be looking into Bazemore, Ross, Prince, Holiday (make Pelicans strong offer), Matthews, Bradley, and Ariza.

Putting 2 and 2 together, it seems like the following 3 teamer could happen . . .

To Grizzlies: Rubio, Favors, 1st and probably a minor asset.

To Raptors: Conley.

To Jazz: Lowry.

The Raptors may have reached the point of no return with Lowry. Their already awkward dynamic and his volatile personality could derail their season if he's not moved.

To Grizzlies: Rubio, Favors, 1st and probably a minor asset.

To Raptors: Conley.

To Jazz: Lowry.

The Raptors may have reached the point of no return with Lowry. Their already awkward dynamic and his volatile personality could derail their season if he's not moved.



That too. Even though he's easily the most humble of their big 4, he's still in his prime and now used to being a featured player.


that trade actually makes sense for all 3 teams

I know it wont happen but would you do Gasol and Cunningham for barnes?

Spurs would probably have to include a first but I think I'd do that of the mavs were looking to move barnes.

It’s annoying every year hear other teams wheeling and dealing while spurs do nothing
aside from philly acquiring Harris and NY retardedly shipping out Porzingis 1 hour after he said he was unhappy, what other teams are wheeling and dealing? :lol stanley johnson for thon maker? ellington and johnson for ryan anderson? that guy from toronto (forgot his name) for cash? :lmao yall just wanna see a trade for the sake of it happening

That is a part of it, I know, as you do, Spurs are NOT good enough for west finals, and fuck no to finals. Portland getting hood and shit makes them better, if jazz get Conley they’re better...The 2 spot in the west is open, not record wise but team wise, so yea I’d like something

[gambit1990]

i hope lowry gets moved.

Wonder if team chemistry will suffer if Lowry is not traded. Seems Masai Ujiri could care less....

Wow!!

Everyone's favorite scrub Otto, smh.

[Ron Swanson]

ST gonna meltdown because we didn’t trade for Otto.

[MoSpur02]

Otto Porter Jr is overrated in my opinion. Jabari Parker is a risk because of his health, but could thrive in Washington. No winners in that trade IMO.

[NASpurs]

ST gonna meltdown because we didn’t trade for Otto.

Stanley Johnson and now Otto Porter? Has the flavor of the hour, Taurean Prince, been traded yet?

[Pavlov]

The Wizards have to also be getting draft picks... right?lol I was thinking the Bulls would be getting a pick or something.

[Dverde]

No Otto Porter! RC back to the bird box!

It was a straight salary dump for Washington. I would be shocked if Jabari stays there, unless the Wizards overpay him. Then again, this is the Wizards we're talking about...

Who here wanted $55 million of Potter the next two seasons? Geez.

[Leetonidas]

Man what a dumb trade for Chicago. Wtf are they doing :lol

Good trade for DC tho. Need to shed salary because of walls albatross contract

[timtonymanu]

Pau Gasol for Austin Daye

[Chillen]

Bulls are the dumbest run franchise in all of sports for now. They need to fire GarPax and hire someone with a vision for the future of the team. Wait you could say the Knicks, Clippers lol.

[RD2191]

Spurm fans :lol pay pau and mills! They deserved their contract! :cry otto porter is trash! Would never want him on our team! :cry fuckin faggots :lol

Shakes head as to wtf was the point to this trade and the 2nd round pick adds insult to injury.

[NASpurs]

Beal for Pau and Fatty. Do it Mitch!

I never understood the love for Otto Porter. I’d rather have him than Jabari I guess.

Wow!!

We really couldn't do better than this for Porter? I think we could've but the only reason I see is that PATFO aren't really trying to make any trade other than a half-hearted interest in appeasing Pau to get play time elsewhere. They don't feel a necessity to try to actually improve the team because they sincerely feel they are fine with what they have, unfortunately. Or they feel "The System" is too intricate for Porter to learn this late into the season.

Otto is making close to 30 mill per. Not only do the Spurs not even have close to that kind of cap room without trading multiple pieces, but they don't want a 30$mill/year role player.
