According to the "Insiders" on Spurs Twitter the Spurs are having a fire sale.

[Collins21]

According to the people on twitter who claim to have sources the Spurs will trade Aldridge and DeRozan and begin the rebuild. Make of this what you will.

If Pop feels like LMA and DDR don't really want to be here, I could see him dumping them. Trying to win now only makes sense if guys want to win now. Most nights you can't tell with those two. Those are two all-stars who I still feel can carry the Spurs to the playoffs, but they don't have the eye of the tiger most of the time.

[slick'81]

Interesting....theyve obviously had talks about derozan.I wonder how serious they would be moving on from lma

[NASpurs]

I’ll believe it when I see it but prayingdog.jpg

[B1gduff]

I think LA is gone..dude just does not look like he caring much, DD idk about him.

Thank you.
I was just going to ask if any of these Tweeters have a known history cred.

Anyone know the cred of the others?

Only tspence knows the truth, tbh...

[Genovaswitness]

please let these fucking losers rot somewhere else

[slick'81]

Waiting for mospur to chime in

[Gorepopovich]

Fake...and gay.

[Robz4000]

Can confirm from my source: the Spurs are sending LMA/DDR/Walker to the Magic for a conditional second round pick.

[wildcardX]

Black Friday Sale:

Buy one Derozan and get a Mills for free!!
And.......just for window shopping we will give you a Belinelli for free!!
Really, just open the car door and let him stroll on in.

All sales final. No refunds.

[KobesAchilles]

LMA for Gordon Hayward plz

[duncan2k5]

Not buying it... The organization isn't that smart

[duncan2k5]

I don't understand how they're even still here at this point... Both guys are trash, and neither wants to be here

[K...]

probably based on the gasol news. Spurs upgrading the C position

[TimDunkem]

Not buying it... The organization isn't that smart

Yep.

[Thomas82]

Now that the Blazers have waived Pau Gasol, it wouldn't shock me if the Spurs brought him back. LBVS (Laughing But Very Serious)

[timtonymanu]

That’s what I want to hear. Put everyone on the table except Murray, White, and Walker unless you can net a star player for using one of those 3.

[Gibbz]

*EDIT*
wrong thread

[Prime BEEF]

LMA for Gordon Hayward plz

Hayward and R. Williams

[Robz4000]

Hopefully Pop is part of the trade packages.

[DAF86]

It's sad because, with only a few changes, the Spurs could have retooled for the future while remaining competitive.

[TD 21]

They don't have the balls for such inseason upheaval, nor will they likely be able to get what they'd likely want for their most valuable assets (young, somewhat proven veterans). At best, we're probably looking at a DeRozan trade (obviously, someone like Belinelli, Carroll, Lyles could be included), but I wouldn't put it past them to do nothing either.

[Texas eye]

LMA i can see getting shipped out. He looks like he cares less out there. DD plays his heart out and you can tell he doesn't like losing.

[sasaint]

Hopefully Pop is part of the trade packages.

:tu

[Keepin' it real]

Twitter :lmao

[weebo]

I'd trade LMA--not a fan of DD but I wouldn't mind if they kept him and Gay.

[lmbebo]

one of the twitter folks stoking fire about lonnie not playing today

[Leetonidas]

Lonnie never plays anyway :lol

[vander]

Hope it's true, can't watch this team with LMA/DDR on it anymore.
I rather watch 48 minutes of Mills and Forbes than any minutes of LMA/DDR

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs definitely won't trade Mills no matter what. I don't think they'll trade Forbes either, but who knows. They might just be that dumb to trade Lonnie, Keldon, White or Murray. RC just needs some whisky.

While they are at it they should trade the coach too, I take an unproven college coach or a lesbian ex-WNBA player instead any day

[cool cat]

At least DeRozan is keeping his trade value up with his stats, just hope other teams don’t look at the end of game footage.

[CGD]

I’m for upgrading the roster, but Seriously?

[itzsoweezee]

They'd be really stupid not to. Playoffs are basically it off the question. The Spurs have the toughest remaining schedule, are showing no defensive improvement, and have a roster that does not fit together.

[Thomas82]

+1

[Payote75]

I don't see why they wouldn't trade LA and DD in separate trades I don't think we could get worse and I actually think you could get some pieces to add to our current young pieces. Boston has supposive interest in LA. Orlando in DD. This is the way to go I've been calling for this forever my fingers are crossed the team right now has players that can beat you off the dribble DD is not a fit LA would be a fit but he looks like he checked out but if you could get Gordon plus from Orlando and then use LA to get a shooter or two it helps this team.

[phxspurfan]

7 game losing streaks tend to lead to this kind of talk. Where there's smoke there's fire. Something may get done

[phxspurfan]

All true. The roster is really not competitive in today's NBA. Pretty much outmatched every night. Need to blow it up, or risk losing everyone for nothing/everyone tuning out Pop anyway.

When you look at every other team, they have numerous young players lighting it up. Yet we rely on guys like Forbes and Mills.

[Frenchfred]

Hayward and R. Williams

an undersized center and a guy who had a major injury and makes 32 millions a year? Okay if we get rid of Mills at the same time but Boston won’t take him

[Prime BEEF]

LMA isn’t an MVP caliber player. So you’re not going to get one in return for him. However, Hayward/Williams on this team instead of LMA would most certainly make the spurs better. Williams is young, extremely athletic with a long reach and is an excellent rim protector. He fills one big need for the team.

Having a go-to wing player with good size that can shoot(43.3% 3pt) is also another need. Hayward provides us that. Trading DDR to Orlando would fill the other needs for wing defenders by getting Ross and Gordon

this SL is a huge improvement to the current lineup....
Murray (or White)
Ross
Hayward
Gordon
Williams

[Genovaswitness]

LMA i can see getting shipped out. He looks like he cares less out there. DD plays his heart out and you can tell he doesn't like losing.

Well seems like he’s done a pretty shit job his whole career

Yes but not enough to win. The Spurs should look for picks and expiring contracts to start rebuilding

[duncan2k5]

That means we should keep him? What do we care about here? His feelings? Or winning?

[Prime BEEF]

On the surface that seems reasonable but when you add in that SA can’t get big time players to come to SA in free agency and the fact that the front offices draft strategy/analysis is atrocious...that changes things a lot.

the money that you’ll have available from expiring contracts will just go to a bunch of role players and your draft picks will be 6’2” and under SGs or foreign players that will be draft and stash or playing in Austin. That doesn’t seem like a bright future.

You can rebuild by acquiring talent through trades. With our current front office, that might night work either but the odds sure as shit are a lot better than panhandling for stars in FA and acquiring players for Austin in the draft.

Agree about the fa's but the draft is the Last thing the FO did pretty well last years so having picks could be interesting for sure

[tmtcsc]

That's because DD is playing for his next contract and LMA was extended.

there is a simple fix for that & its easy.........move the team to austin & the free agent problem disappears forever

You can do both. Spurs have been doing that for the past few years. Remaining a playoff team (even if the ceiling was low) while getting younger: Murray, Lonnie, White, Luka, Keldon, Jakob,...

[cd98]

Spurs are going to beat the 76ers because they are due a win as even crappy teams get improbable wins. But once they win against a "good" team, the chat will be that everything is fine. Trade rumors swirl when teams are losing, but it's quelled when they get a win.

[Leetonidas]

Have you been to Austin? It's like a dirtier version of SA with homeless people everywhere. Not more appealing at all imo

[NASpurs]

What do would the Heat be willing to give up (realistically) for either of those two?

https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article237633554.html (https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article237633554.html)

Here’s why the Spurs bear monitoring if Heat pursues a move

[TD 21]

This probably fits best here. The source reeks of lacking reputability, but I believe the handle was NBA rehab and it claims the Hawks and Knicks are interested in DeRozan and that the former has promised Young that they'd get him some help.

If true, Parsons (expiring) and Reddish works. The latter is shooting at a historically awful rate to begin his career, but he's 19, less than 500 minutes into his career and looks the part of the ideal, modern "SF" (and his stroke wasn't thought to be an issue entering the league).

They probably can't get a better prospect in a trade. The one possibility is the Pistons protected 1st, which could be used as a vehicle, along with their own and possibly a young player, to move up to the mid lottery.

I would not give up DeMar for Reddish, but I would do a LaMarcus for Parson's, Reddish and a 1st round draft pick in a heartbeat.

[exstatic]

The "Geek" sites like The Stepien and Tankathon weren't very high on Reddish. He's got a pretty high chance of flopping. He didn't shoot well, only 33% from the shorter college 3 arc, and his FT% (~78%) didn't foreshadow much improvement.

He is already a solid NBA defender, and if the Spurs could clean up his shot selection and improve his 3pt shot, I think he will b3 a 3 & D guy for us.

[JuneJive]

ATL isn't that dumb. They're building on the Warriors blueprint.

Casey in DET makes the most sense i'd say.
Wright worked there as well.

[Leetonidas]

That reddish kid is having an all time worst shooting season in his rookie year and looks like the worst starter in the entire league. I know he's young but not sure I'd be interested in offloading our "best" player for some likely bust

[TD 21]

I would not give up DeMar for Reddish, but I would do a LaMarcus for Parson's, Reddish and a 1st round draft pick in a heartbeat.

DeRozan isn't worth multiple assets. It's probably either Reddish or the Nets' lottery protected 1st that they own (same thing would apply with what I said about the Pistons pick, although the Nets one is likely to be lower).

The actualized version of Reddish would be an ideal fit, but he definitely has high bust potential, so it really just comes down to weighing the odds of getting a better prospect with a lottery protected 1st or being able to package picks and move up to do so.

Of course, this is if they go more of a re-build route in a hypothetical DeRozan trade, which is probably unlikely.

[Mugen]

:lol They're much more likely to extend Derozan than to trade him in-season tbh. This is an organization still reeling from one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history, they won't think about a "splashy" move for years to come....

Even if Derozan just walks away this summer, I'd consider that a huge win for them even if it means they got nothing out of him. Extending Derozan for any amount would be tantamount to forfeiting the next 5 years in NBA relevance tbh.

[exstatic]

He is already a solid NBA defender, and if the Spurs could clean up his shot selection and improve his 3pt shot, I think he will b3 a 3 & D guy for us.

So is Frank Ntilikina, and he's still looking for his shot in year 3. He's never put up a FG% higher than 40% for a season.

[TimDunkem]

Whatever happens, don't lose DD for nothing. Extend and then trade if you must, but don't let him walk without getting something...anything.

[alpha_HaZE]

So was Kawhi, not sure why you are comparing the knicks with the Spurs.
