Trade Target: Danillo Gallinari..

[apalisoc_9]

- Was never part of OKC plans. With Nephs orders beta Geroge requested a trade and now pretty much everyone feels like a trade assesst in OKC. Presti is clearly hoarding picks but you're not getting a lot in return for a guy in his last year.

- Mills, Belli, Two Second Rounders should do the trick. OkC wont be tied up to belli since he is expiring and Mills is the tank commander neccessary to acquire good picks in the next couple of years.

Why Gallo is a good fit offensively?

Our Current project starting lineup has very little shooting.

White/Murray
Derozan
Carroll
LMA
Puddle.

With Gallo at the 4 spot,

White/Murray
Derozan
Carroll
Galo
LMA.

[slick'81]

Wat are we giving up tbh

[ducks]

Murray shoots much better his 3 point shooting has improved

[Leetonidas]

Do it Mitch :tu

[Mr. Body]

I think it would take at least a first rounder.

[BlackAndWhite]

DO it PATFO

If OKC will fall for that, done and done.

Got to believe they will get better offers. No one outside of Popped wants Wombat for 3 more years.

[Mr. Body]

One thing is he's extremely fragile. Hasn't played a full season in more than a decade and usually way less than that.

[apalisoc_9]

Mills is expiring the year before the big free agent summer in 2021. Hes a great player to trade.

Maybe one first rounder and a 2nd rounder.

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills will never get traded. That means this will never happen

[DAF86]

Meh. Better than what we have for sure. But meh.

[slick'81]

Hes the epitomy of injury prone but damn can he shoot

[JADG79]

Salary don’t match, Spurs cannot take more salary. The only way is buyout and now with CP3 in OKC I doubt they buyout Gallo unless they don’t reach playoff.

[apalisoc_9]

He doesnt have to play 82 games. :lol

Just load manage him like kawhi. So long as hes healthy come playoff time.

[talkspurs]

ending contracts have value. OKC would not do this trade as they gain nothing. Our 2nd round picks are not woth much and definitely not worth an extra year of salary.

[apalisoc_9]

It works. I think the spurs can take an additional 2-3 mill in return iiirc

Yeah, thats why i think a first rounder+2nd rounder is neccessary. Maybe thrown in metu too.

The smart move for OKC is to wait till feb though and see who is desperate enough to give them 3 picks for an expiring.

If OKC is really doing the long game then great.
Don't like losing a 1st rounder, especially since RC seems to be hitting it out of the park again.

But a miracle gift opportunity to dump Patty while bolstering 2020 playoffs, wow ya do it in a heartbeat.
How about a Pop n Patty package, since he won't let Patty go?

Well, and Gallinari is a pretty good fit for San Antonio. If he does well, they could resign him.

[r0drig0lac]

Do it Mitch :tu

[Chinook]

I think Beli and Mills for Gallo would take a first. Since it's also a stealth Patty dump, I wouldn't be against giving that up. Gallo would immediately start at the four, and unlike the Morris signing, the trade would make it more justifiable to play DeRozan at the two, because the guard depth would not be as cumbersome as it is now.

White, Forbes
DeRozan, Murray
Carroll, Walker, Johnson
Gallinari, Gay, Lyles, Samanic
Aldridge, Poeltl, Metu

Eubanks and Weatherspoon


I'd still try to sign a PG to fill that last spot but considering that Walker and Johnson can both play the two, they have okay depth everywhere else.

[spurraider21]

dumping mills and belli alone is fine by me. getting a good player like gallinari in return, too? yeah, that's worth a first.

[SpurPadre]

Mills will never get traded. That means this will never happen

Death, Taxes, Mills a Spur, tbh. Used to say that about Bonner too.

[Big P]

I just read that they plan to run with Gallo, Paul, Adams and Alexander..I doubt they trade him and I would not give up a first for a one year rental on someone who is not going to make a difference and probably wont even play 2/3 of the season.

You seriously think Pop will consider playing Murray at the two?

[Mr. Body]

Murray already is a two. He's only a PG because he can't shoot and is on the Parker track.

[Chinook]

You seriously think Pop will consider playing Murray at the two?

It makes no difference whether one calls him a one or a two, SG or PG in my example. I think Pop is completely comfortable with Murray playing with Forbes, Mills or Weatherspoon.

[GreekSpursfan]

We are not that dumb to give up picks for an injury prone player while not actually being contenders, are we?

[slick'81]

They arent even looking to move him but this is spurs fans new wet dream along with covington

Getting paul is a huge indicator they're rebuilding for the future. Paul might even get traded.

You have to take risk and Galo does raise the ceiling for San Antonio. It doesnt matter if he plays 50 if hes there in the playoffs

[BacktoBasics]

This guy has only played over 60 games in a season what? 3 times? Probably would be a nice fit but I don’t trust his health for what they would have to give up to get him. Likely a young prospect and at least 2 draft picks.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Wat are we giving up tbh


All our draft picks until 2026.

[acoelho1]

It makes no difference whether one calls him a one or a two, SG or PG in my example. I think Pop is completely comfortable with Murray playing with Forbes, Mills or Weatherspoon.

There is zero chance Murray come's off the bench. He will be our starting pg on day 1 even if you don't approve.

[Big P]

Sam Amick: For those wondering, source tells @TheAthletic that OKC does this deal with full anticipation that Chris Paul will be part of a good team that now has a treasure trove of future assets. Gallinari, SGA, Adams, Roberson, Noel core, and EIGHT new 1st rounders, as @Travonne noted. – via Twitter sam_amick

gallo aint going anywhere def not here

[Ocotillo]

If I'm Presti and you call me want Gallinari, I'm insisting on one of the young guards in the package.......and I don't mean Forbes.

[Chinook]

I don't care if he starts or not. Who starts at PG isn't even important to this scenario.

[FkLA]

This guy is overrated af anyway. Slightly richer man's Dario Saric.

Eh, my guess is that Presti wants to let the team ride for a bit to see if they're good enough to use some of those assets to try to contend. If they aren't, he'll likely flip right into sell mode.

[HarlemHeat37]

Made of glass and a terrible performer in real games, tbh..

[apalisoc_9]

Yeah. I suspect they'll wait to till Feb to evaluate. If they do decide to wait till Feb the spurs can probably get him for a cheaper price.

[ace3g]

Just another stretch PF....

Lol sam amick got his sources mixed up.

Woj just tweeted OKC is looking to trade Paul.

[Mugen]

Roberson is the more realistic target tbh. He might be completely broken down at this point but it's worth a shot with the wings in the West.

[John B]

With Adams as Gandalf, CP3 and Mills, they’d look like the fellowship of the ring

[212094ever]

He's just not that good.

[widowmaker]

Lets trade davis bertans.......... oh wait already did for nothing.

[Play Boban]

He's just not that good.
low iq

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Yeah, thats why i think a first rounder+2nd rounder is neccessary. Maybe thrown in metu too.

[kobyz]

I better trade for Morris from the Knicks

[szkorhetz]

Getting Gallo for Forbes, Belli, Mills would make us instant contenders, as he would be the perfect fit in a lineup of Murray/White/DDR/Gallo/LMA, but it simply won't happen.

OKC can get much more for him.

[mo7888]

There's another scenario we could pursue although I'm not sure how much it improves our ceiling. We could try and get in on the okc miami deal with DDR going to okc to try and pry gallo and Winslow out of the deal. Belinelli would go to Miami to make the numbers work.

I don't think we want that radical of a move but a murray, Walker, Winslow, gallo, LMA lineup would be interesting.
