NBA Trade Deadline 2020

[slick'81]

And demars value probably wont be any higher, but atleast spurs asked for the moon i guess:jack

[Genovaswitness]

I'm out fellas. As long as Flopovich runs this franchise shit will only get worse

watch the clippers championship parade breh :toast

[slick'81]

watch the clippers championship parade breh :toast


Just what we need, back2back kawhi chips

[Mugen]

Where's that fat fuck TPark? Need him to come in here and question why these Edgelords are questioning the best franchise of the last 20 years :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

watch the clippers championship parade breh :toast

Honestly, now that they got Morris I totally expect them to win. They got 3 players where one didn't want to join the Spurs, one didn't want to stay with the Spurs and one wanted to come to the Spurs, but they were to dumb to not trade for him. So yeah, Clips will win it all

[gambit1990]

early last season i even posted, could you imagine if kawhi won it all in TOR and then goes to LAC and wins again?

only player to ever win FMVP for three different teams.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol Kawhi is gonna win back to back championships
:lol pop
:lol pop suckers

[sasaint]

But of course! You buying

But of course! PM me.

"murray an all star"
"ddr and lma have some serious value"
"pop goat"
"no tanking we should compete"

"only young players in s5?? u stupid or what!?"
"only one piece (wing player) from being a seriously competetive team"
"kawhi didnt leave bc of pop, he left wanted to play in LA"
and more

thats what u guys were saying just a weeks ago. Shame all of u.

If anybody still hates Kawhi more than the old fuck who's actually ruining the franchise for years to come...I don't know what to say to you :lol

Ha ha ha! Wonder if Morris will pull the well, I want to stay in NYC for my family's comfort and well-being card this time? Even if he could, I seriously doubt that he would this time. SMH...

[Prime BEEF]

Dark times ahead. This team will be shit and pick awful draft picks until pop leaves. Sucks that pop is going to ruin the franchise that he supposedly built. Very ironic though maybe it is a fitting end

[sasaint]

And this is a PERFECT example of why free agents don’t want to come here. SA is not a destination place as it is, then you throw in Pop pulling this shit smh. Demarre is getting screwed.

Morris wanted no part of Pop and backed out the first chance he got. :lol

Yup! I don’t know what ownership is thinking.

I’m not sure they realize that trades are legal and that the deadline was today.

[cool cat]

It wouldn't surprise me if there is not even a direct line to Brian Wright office.

I imagine there is a directory for all NBA Personnel & staff but for San Antonio it just says "Spurs". It calls a landline in a janitors closet at the AT&T center that just rings over and over and depending on how hungover RC is will determine if it gets answered.

[sasaint]

Maybe a darkly poetic end, but not fitting. Ownership has to have some non-basketball reason for allowing the Old Asshole to bring this franchise down with him.

[sasaint]

They give a fuck about $.

[gambit1990]

[TimDunkem]

They give a fuck about $.

It's going to take missing the playoffs for a few years before fans stop giving this team their hard earned money and ownership even thinks about doing something. Luckily, Pop is the perfect man for the job.

Let's face it. Pop is going nowhere and, even when he stops coaching, his wrinkled hand will still loom large over basketball operations.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

How is everyone doing over here? Life is ruined?

I’m not talking about income alone. The value of the franchise must have taken a serious hit in the last few years. And the rudderless shambles it is now has got to erode value.

If you think this franchise has wronged you try being a Raiders fan for the last 20 years. Had to cut the ties and stop believing or watching that shit.

It's just sports. Teams will exist without you or move somewhere else and still exist waste away...

[gambit1990]

don't worry everyone, clippers aren't keeping isaiah thomas. so he'll be #1 on the spurs list of buyouts :lol

Ending up with keldon johnson and poodle for kawhi,demar& lma :wtf

This FO and Pop really don't know how to manage and run an NBA team without 3 HoF's in their prime to hide behind. This constructed roster speaks volumes to that.

They were poised to make a seamless transition and remain elite post-Big 3 until Nephew turned his back on the organization, tbf.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

After the deadline it will be interesting to check the Grizz roster. I don't know who they have on board at this point.
As far as I know.

Ja Morant
Dillon Brooks
Kyle Anderson
Jaren Jackson Jr.
Jonas Valanciunas
Tyus Jones
De'Anthony Melton
Grayson Allen
Josh Jackson
Justise Winslow
Brandon Clarke

This is every damn team that ever won.

Look at the bulls after MJ, Lakers after Kobe, Cavs after LBJ, Pistons after their run, Celtics went for broke when they won and are close to challenging...

How about all the teams who have never sniffed success and are in the toilet every year even with top picks.

This place acts like this team is an exception to sports history..

[jermaine]

Wait... we didnt do anything for real?

[SpurPadre]

Also, it's only fitting that Faggot Morris will end up playing along with the biggest Faggot of all time. :lol

The Clippers were already the biggest assholes in the league but because of this move, they've taken it to another level. I never thought I'd see the day when LeBron's Heatles and Curry/Durant/Klay/Draymond Dubs teams would be surpassed in douchebaggery COMBINED as the result of two bitch-made faggots on one team. After 22 years of unparalleled success for us, this shit was bound to happen to us, tbh. Welp, looking forward to our best draft slot since Duncan.

if they had to give up an asset to get rid of Carroll or Marco...I agree to keep them

[exstatic]

can't believe what CLE got drummond for. spurs couldn't offer something just a little better? smh.

It kind of shines the light on what they may have been offered for DeRozan, though, since both are UFAs this summer if they opt out.

Drummond is 90s ball just the same way DeMar is. He has about 25% of the value (not necessarily monetary) that he had when he signed his current deal. A big who can't put the ball in the hole from further than 3-4 feet is worse than DD's midrange limitations, and a problem for his team in today's game that values shooting over literally any other skill.

Peeps here called it when he went to ny

To be somewhat fair to PATFO (though they own their share of blame for their stubbornness), I'm sure no team was dying to make any deals with us out of jealousy and spite. The sports media, particularly ESPN, has always hated our success but now there's a widespread backlash against us and enjoyment of our demise going on around the league. Sure, PATFO "like what they have" but the league and their sponsors certainly like what we have too lol. I mean, we all know what Leonard did to this team was treacherous and unethical and the media and league knows it too but they didn't really call him out on it...ONLY because it happened to the San Antonio Spurs. Had Leonard done what he did to the Lakers or any other big market team, he would've been shunned from society with a fierce media backlash from the same hypocrites that defend him now like Shannon Sharpe, Cris Carter, Stephen A. Smith, and Chris Webber.

[jermaine]

I cant root for a team that dont try to get better. Pop was busy with his Black history speech to pay attention to trades. It's about A White man living in these times where racism still exists an our president isn't impeached.

[poopbox]

I, as someone who has been beaten to the punch by you on those threads, agree. I do think they'll buy out Beli and maybe Carroll, but if they do, they'll replace those guys with prospects or bring up Eubanks. Actually, waiving Beli and letting Keldon stay with the big club would be all right.

Since when has Pop been in the business of waving older players so younger players could play ?

Since when has Pop been in the business of waving guys who just signed a 3 year contract ?

So the spurs couldn't trade Beli...but they are just going to waive him so some other team can sign him and the spurs get nothing ?

[MoSpur02]

Thanks, some nice pieces. And I bet it doesn't take them an entire year to become "integrated" into the system. I congratulate your team for some nice, bold moves. You have a team that should be a lot of fun to root for. Waiters is an interesting wild card, too.

Umm... The Spurs did this just last year. Playing young giys during the second half of the season is pretty typical Spurs stuff. Though they usually are winning enough to feel like they can afford it.

"Serious backlash" will happen when the media scrutinizes the Old Asshole's recent years with the same critical eye it does other coaches in the league.

Who were the young guys last year that played in the second half of the season but not the first ?

And who were the old guys who got their minutes reduced ?

Cause the only person I remember was Pau...but that was only after Pop spent a few weeks trying to force him into the lineup and Pau was to washed to even consistently run up and down the court...

No, the media has already decided that the Spurs' success is largely the result of Pop's genius. They may think he treats reporters like shit but to them, that's the only thing that has made the Spurs marketable during this run so they don't mind. When he's done coaching, they will actually celebrate him even more because they will no longer see him as a Spurs person, they'll see him as a loveable cranky old genius who tells it like it is and made a dynasty out of a team of unathletic players with aw shucks personalities, tbh.

[Prime BEEF]

I’m more interested in who they pick then where they pick. If they still place priority on euro trash players or short SG volume shooters that don’t play defense then it doesn’t matter where the pick is.

I think the worm will turn before he retires. This season is a watershed in the media's regard for the Old Asshole.

[DavidTheGoliath]

The Knicks just hired Leon Rose as president (head of basketball operations). Rose is a long time player agent. He knows the business of the game better than most, and he has a LOT of good contacts in the player community. Probably the best thing they've done in a generation. If they give him the elbow room he needs, they just got a lot smarter.

BTW - the Knicks were talking about Morris being a possible mid-season trade chip when they pulled him away from the Spurs.

Yeah i heard about that. They were trying to emulate the rob pelinkas and bob myers of the league. We'll see how this will turn out for them

[Prime BEEF]

I think the worm will turn before he retires. This season is a watershed in the media's regard for the Old Asshole.
If they make no roster changes in the offseason and pick their usual awful draft picks then I think you might be right. If that happens, next season will be even worse than this season and the media will start attacking him for not making any moves when the team is clearly awful

[acoelho1]

I'm fine with not making any deals given there probably wasn't any offer on the table that was a benefit to the Spurs. However, given where we are in the standings, it seems very unlikely that we make the playoffs. Therefore, I hope that means more run for the young guns during the 2nd half of the season including Keldon and Luka. There's no point continuing to play the vets heavy minutes and Forbes should be glued to the bench. Let use this opportunity to develop our young players and actually give them heavy minutes.

Exactly!

[YoungbuckMurray]

Looking like waiters is getting a release/buyout, wouldn’t hate the pickup but we do have Forbes lol

[cd98]

The articles over the next few days will say something about how the Spurs made offers, but no one would take them or how close they came to landing so and so.

To be honest, though, I don't think the Spurs would have gotten good assets or a player that made them better on any trades. I'm sure most teams were trying to steal DDR or LMA at a cutthroat price and the Spurs are better off contending with what they got than giving their best players away for peanuts.

I doubt DDR walks this summer for nothing. The people that have cap space will not have an interest in him. He'll either not opt out or he'll resign at less than the max or he'll get a team to agree to a sign and trade.

Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make.

[cd98]

Looking like waiters is getting a release/buyout, wouldn’t hate the pickup but we do have Forbes lol

All buyouts are going to Lakers or Clippers or Bucks or Celtics. They aren't going to a team that might not make the playoffs.

:lol Spurms

[barakz21]

I hate Forbes’ “fuck, I’m better than that” body language whenever he gets beat and causes an and-1. Newsflash bud, you’re not better than that.

[gambit1990]

per an hour ago, rc mentioned the selling of the san antonio rampage. i guess he was more focused / busy with that.

[gambit1990]

“We are extremely grateful to our staff, our fans and our partners who have supported the Rampage for the last 18 years,” said SS&E CEO RC Buford. “While this was a difficult decision to make, we believe this move is best for the long-term success of Spurs Sports & Entertainment.”
and how about not having a shîtty basketball team?

[lmbebo]

RC moved into more of a business position awhile ago. I don't think he's involved in the day to day operations of the Spurs anymore.

[gambit1990]

vegas has gotten the sa silver stars, the sa rampage... maybe they want an nba team next...

[TD 21]

- Let's hope shady Morris has an adverse affect on the Clippers already questionable chemistry. Scumbag isn't capable of pulling together a volatile, fractured room.

- :lmao At the Pistons, waiting too long to trade Drummond and giving him away. Maybe this opens up enough space to be a dumping ground for dead money, where a 1st will be attached, but still.

- He doesn't really make sense for the Cavaliers, but for basically free, they might as well take a flier. Still youngish.

- The Heat did well financially, but on court, not as much as the perception is. Raptors/Celtics still the extent of the 2nd tier in East.

- :lmao At the Warriors. Given their need on the wing and likely overrating their "culture" and "system", I could somewhat understand them viewing Wiggins as part asset, but they should have gotten more draft capital, inexpensive youth or both to take on that albatross.

- I get the thinking behind what the Rockets did, but Tucker is going to be worn to a nub and they're going to get destroyed at the rim and the offensive glass without a respectable center. Covington is nice, but overrated.

- :lmao Spurs. Covington goes for a decent 1st and 2 young players, while Green, a slightly smaller, but better version, was a throw in with a superstar for a pile of trash.

FU Marcus Morris.

Metu should be the player that fills the role. Give him the minutes Carroll was supposed to get, and give TD the assignment of mentoring him.

[timtonymanu]

That summer of 2017 was the beginning of the end for this franchise. What a shitshow of moves that followed.

- The Pau/Patty contracts
- Moving Leonard and Green
- Bryn Forbes being brought back
- Trading away Davis for nothing after getting burned by Morris
- Bringing back Rudy Gay when unsurprisingly he is more washed up than ever
- Giving Demarre Carroll a contract for nothing

Welp,carrol turned out to be an absolute horrendous sighting

[JeffDuncan]

Woj on podcast just said 100% decarrol will be bought out


I wonder what the cost will be. Carroll's contract guaranteed him a total of $15 million, of which about 3.5, maybe - half the first year's amount of 7 - has been paid by now.

[RC_Drunkford]

That summer of 2017 was the beginning of the end for this franchise. What a shitshow of moves that followed.

- The Pau/Patty contracts
- Moving Leonard and Green
- Bryn Forbes being brought back
- Trading away Davis for nothing after getting burned by Morris
- Bringing back Rudy Gay when unsurprisingly he is more washed up than ever
- Giving Demarre Carroll a contract for nothing

yup and a lot of us saw it coming right after Mills and Pau got resigned


Signing LMA was the beginning of the end. Then doubled down by keeping him when he asked for a trade.

Nah LMA made the team better. They should've traded him when Kawhi wanted PG13 though, that was their mistake and I think that's the real reason Kawhi left

What People don't remember about that situation is that the Pacers GM said he would never trade with the Spurs agin after that Kawhi/G Hill trade. If they could have got George for Aldridge they would have but the pacers were not going to do business with the Spurs under any circumstances.

[gambit1990]

could you imagine the heat PATFO would catch if san antonio was a big market?

[rasuo214]

I don't know why anyone is acting like this is a surprise or anything new, if it was up to Pop alone, the Spurs would have never traded for Kawhi to begin with preferring to cling onto George Hill. Coach Bud forced Pop to make the move. The Spurs (Pop) have been ultra conservative for a decade.

[Darius Bieber]

could you imagine the heat PATFO would catch if san antonio was a big market?

New York/Chicago media would eat Pop alive.

[EasyMoney]

I don't think lamarcus had any trade value in 2017. He yanked his own trade value by quitting on the team on the court when he didn't get his touches. No one wanted lamarcus at a respectable value.

[Genovaswitness]

Fuck this piece of shit team

[SpurPadre]

Fuck this piece of shit team

And fuck Load Management and Morris, too.

the kawhi trade would’ve been hailed as a disaster since day one. no one wanted demar then and apparently no one really wanted him now, even after his improved play as of late.

What is this the 10th time he wears Blazer colors when they come in town or spurs go to Portland?

If there is a choice of who to keep or who to ship this off season, I'm with DDR at least he is repping the Silver and Black. Don't care how many 1 million dollar donos LMA makes.

You're a fucking weirdo!!! So the fact that he cares about the community he lives in gets ignored because he wears Blazers colors?? You're by far the weirdest dude on here and that's saying something.

Touches significantly eroded the culture and was an extremely poor fit with Duncan. We would have been much better off signing his old running mate RoLo to complement Tim and then acquiring Butler who was on the verge of forcing his way out of Chicago. LMA was the beginning of the end, his wanting to be traded after his first real taste of playoff success is the tip-off.

no superstar signs here. Aldridge is the only one in franchise history, that says a lot. Besides that was the season where Duncan's knee went out and he wasn't the usual Tim Duncan that we were used to for the majority of the season. So nah the Aldridge deal was the right one. On paper Spurs were the best team in the NBA that year at the start of the season. Nobody knew the Dubs would dominate like they did

We will just have to disagree. I would have preferred 2 non-soft, non-diva starters for the money we gave Softridge, who isn't and wasn't a superstar. And whether it says anything or not, it had no further impact. Certainly no superstar or all-star is clamoring to come here or will in the foreseeable future.

[duncan2k5]

I'm fine with not making any deals given there probably wasn't any offer on the table that was a benefit to the Spurs. However, given where we are in the standings, it seems very unlikely that we make the playoffs. Therefore, I hope that means more run for the young guns during the 2nd half of the season including Keldon and Luka. There's no point continuing to play the vets heavy minutes and Forbes should be glued to the bench. Let use this opportunity to develop our young players and actually give them heavy minutes.

Literally any deal would be acceptable...even a 2nd round pick...the one guaranteed thing is that we will NEVER win a ring with these two...why keep it together?ship them out for anything...they don't even wanna be here...LMA openly said he wanted to play for another team... anyone else do that,they get flamed...but he gets a pass?

[duncan2k5]

Not surprised no moves were made but this just sets up an interesting draft day, especially if Spurs miss playoffs.

"If"? LMFAO!

[venitian navigator]

...I agree the LMA move was the right one when we did it...but the point is that when he behaved in a shitty way Pop should have not bend and just say fuck you, we pay you, you're in a contending team, play the right way for winning basketball of go the fuck off.
Instead he went on the appeasing his player's mode, and so starting to destroy the "team first" philosophy and the at the same time his credibility...in front of the other players that till that point buyed in, having total confidence in "the system". The Leonard bad behavior has this as a starting point...(and I'm not justyfing his traitor's behavior...just saying some fault must be shared).
The point that we lost is just that.
Our small market has been an exception (20 and more years of contending) not only because the high talent of the players or the coaches, but mainly because the high carachter of the players...Tim, Manu, Parker, Bowen, Splitter and practically everybody following their example had all a sharing and winning mentality...Leonard was buying in this, and its not for chance that when we won he was just a part of the team, not the main weapon...but if you bend to a non winning player just for appeasing his spoiled will, how could you think that a winner of a finals mvp (and obviously the best player on the team) should act and think about you?

[HarlemHeat37]

Absolutely, I was good with the Aldridge move at the time, as well, but it was evident quickly that he was still the cancer he was with Portland. He's the anti-Tim Duncan and Manu, plays loser basketball, only cares about numbers and touches, horrible body language, this franchise won't recover until he's gone.

How do you ask for a trade on a team that just reached the WCFs and could have competed for a title if Kawhi didn't get hurt?:lol

[tbdog]

I have never had issues with LMA except for his slow starts. He was aligned to be Leonard side kick. Leonard wasn't the demi god until year two of LMA Spurs era. I wouldn't be surprised that The Group was already influencing the Spurs that early. What LMA did in year 3 was amazing. Without Leonard, he carried us. Unfortunately Leonard left and now LMA age has caught him. The first thing to go is your consistency. At his price you expect high quality play every night but he now can't do it. He is sometimes the best big on the court. The next night he has a stinker.

[RC_Drunkford]

Does the trade for Andre Drummond crew here realize that the Spurs could've easily gotten Drummond without giving up a lot? And that might've been good enough to make the playoffs? Start Drummond/Aldridge and Lyles plays PF off the bench. Rudy Gay goes to Detroit with Beli and maybe Carroll?

Those players seem to be better than what Detroit got for Andre

He'll make 28 mil next year.

Against Portland we were -24 off 3pts shots (54-30). What for do we need a '90s center who can't shoot? We already have Poeltl at 1/9 the cost and with much better future.

I think they would’ve given us Drummond and a 1st for DDR. Since his old coach is there. And yes, that was one of many potential ways to improve the team through trades and make the playoffs

I've always said this...him extending LMA at the beginning of the season AFTER he demanded a trade (and played horribly in the playoffs) rubbed Kawhi the wrong way...nail in the coffin was when they tried to then low-ball Kawhi

It's because he doesn't play well with others...if someone else is having a good game,he checks out

[lmbebo]

Dunno why they needed salary space? If Drummond opted out (by all accounts he was), same space would be cleared.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Dunno why they needed salary space? If Drummond opted out (by all accounts he was), same space would be cleared.

Well they got a 2nd round pick, which is better than nothing. Also, it's possible they were afraid he'd pick his option. He might find it difficult to get a contract even close to the value of the current one and he could bet on himself picking that option. Lots of teams will have cap space in 2021.

[Coach X]

Lamarcus Aldridge is a great player but he hasn't and won't take this team anywhere. As long as Spurs keep Poetl, Aldridge is 100% dispensable.

Also for the garage sale:
- Rudy Gay and his huge contract
- Belinelli
- Carroll
- Forbes... mmm no, this is going to trash, nobody is paying anything for it.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

You know I feel like the two people running the Spurs are world's apart and it has a real Jekyll and Hyde feel. I think RC should be in charge of the Spurs full-time and not Pop. RC made some real smart moves while also making some real stupid moves. And I can't differentiate what was an RC move and what is a Pop move. Smart moves were moving on from Anderson, Tony, Dedmon, and Simmons. Even getting rid of Bertans was a smart move bc Pop NEVER played him the way he was supposed to be played.

Gasol was a man of my word signing and I can't hate on them for that, but Forbes needed to be dumped, but Pop won't allow it. Marco should never have been signed. Picking up LMA for his option was a head scratcher. Carroll is such a is fuck up that I don't even know who to blame for it. Drafting nothing but guards and yet playing undrafted guards or has beens over them. The team has no identity in the front office and it shows. We are being run like the Kings or some shit tbh

[RC_Drunkford]

I think they would’ve given us Drummond and a 1st for DDR. Since his old coach is there. And yes, that was one of many potential ways to improve the team through trades and make the playoffs

the point is they didn't have to give up DeRozan to get him. Detroit traded him for garbage. Spurs got plenty of that

[RC_Drunkford]

Detroit made the trade for drummond to clear salary space. They would not want Rudy gay or demarre Carroll .

Trey Lyles and Belinelli are 11 million in salary space if that's the case. And that's only if Drummond opts in. Spurs could've gotten it done no doubt about it

[RC_Drunkford]

He'll make 28 mil next year.

Against Portland we were -24 off 3pts shots (54-30). What for do we need a '90s center who can't shoot? We already have Poeltl at 1/9 the cost and with much better future.

Gay, Carroll and Belinelli make the same amount of money. Are any of them good? Nope.

Drummond got an option and his contract ends in the same year Aldridge and DeRozan's contracts end. No risk at all. Expiring contracts are easy to trade, might even get you some value back.

If PATFO really wanted that record they had their chance right then and there.

For any trades to go down, the numbers need to work so you can't simply trade them for a 2nd round pick. There was no urgency to make a trade anyways since no trade would bring us a championship this year. Nevertheless, LMA is still under contract for another year and would be eligible to be traded in the future. I doubt anyone with cap space would offer DDR a max deal so perhaps a sign & trade would be an option in the off season. Therefore, doing a shitty deal now makes no sense and with the Spurs losing ground on the playoffs, I hope Pop loosens the reins on the young guys.

Everyone needs a scapegoat

[SAGirl]

The team certainly could have done something. I have seen teams with less flexibility or worse players get something done.

The Spurs don’t have a direction and that’s a problem. They don’t know who they are. Are they rebuilding or competing bc until they decide what they are and how to improve they are stuck with same old same old.

Another thing. Their gambles have been aweful lately. They gambled on being able to sign someone and ended up paying Gasol a horrible deal instead and they also gave away Davis Bertans to sign someone that didn’t pan out. Two horrible gambles. Not their fault in part neither worked out but had they not been averse to trading they wouldn’t have been in situations like this all the time. I think the way they have operated in contention years doesn’t work for what they need to do now. The FO probably needs new people with a different approach.

[Atl Spur]

Even though it's probably unlikely that he'd have regained previous form, this is a massive blow for the Lakers (and as usual, more luck for Scumbag) nonetheless.

They need to be working the back channels on Jackson or whoever else might be a possibility.

[gambit1990]

i can’t even remember what MKG looked like on court. i’d imagine he’d at least be somewhat serviceable on the spurs. can’t imagine why he’d even consider the spurs though.

[sasaint]

MKG finalizing a buyout with Charlotte. Too bad we suck balls and he'll probably go to a contender.

Bender is worth taking a flyer on imo. Still very young but has size and shooting abilities. Former lotto pick. Given how good Milwaukee is and how solid their rotation has been I don't think him not playing is indication that he's done just yet

This. Coach Bud (not unexpectedly) had good things to say about Bender.

He's a swiss army knife type player, that's rendered useless next to non shooting centers, which is all the Hornets have.

If/when he signs with the Mavericks, he'll instantly become a useful piece again (like Hollis-Jefferson did going from the Nets to Raptors) because their two shooting bigs will allow for him to effectively operate as the de facto center on offense.

Gotta clear space for Forbes :lol

[exstatic]

Trey Lyles and Belinelli are 11 million in salary space if that's the case. And that's only if Drummond opts in. Spurs could've gotten it done no doubt about it

Yeah, but they got complete salary relief. Drummond makes north of $25M, and we just don't have that much in ending contracts.

Bender is nothing more than another failed Suns pick. No thanks.

I’d take a look at bender; couldn’t hurt.

y'all know we won't get anybody cause King Forbes is untouchable and Pop won't buy Carroll out. He just needs a season to :pop: "get over himself"

I'm obviously trolling, but that's what actually goes on in this franchise. It's just disguised in a more "professional" manner

For any trades to go down, the numbers need to work so you can't simply trade them for a 2nd round pick. There was no urgency to make a trade anyways since no trade would bring us a championship this year. Nevertheless, LMA is still under contract for another year and would be eligible to be traded in the future. I doubt anyone with cap space would offer DDR a max deal so perhaps a sign & trade would be an option in the off season. Therefore, doing a shitty deal now makes no sense and with the Spurs losing ground on the playoffs, I hope Pop loosens the reins on the young guys.
Holy shit ur bad at this...plz don't ever run a franchise...in ur book, the only reason to make trades is to bring a championship the same year u make the trade?? Fuck attaining assets to build the future on, right? LMFAO!

[duncan2k5]

I dont get the Shitting on Lyles here. He's not trash nor is he great. But he's very serviceable.

No he isnt

[duncan2k5]

He did get flamed for it retard. 3 years ago when it happened.

Go back and read the thread...most ppl were talking positively about it

[duncan2k5]

That’s the truth! Lyles is pretty damn good when he playing with confidence & assertive!

Lol...when he is assertive, he is barely playable...most times he is complete trash... literally the worst starter in the league at his position

Jackson to the Clippers. Apparently his agent isn't on good terms with the Lakers. Nonetheless, what a foolish decision. The Lakers have a far greater need and because they're not as good, you'd think it'd be more meaningful to win a championship with them.

Still, another volatile personality to a Clippers team that already doesn't appear to have great chemistry or leadership.

Apparently he's close friends with PG, so there's that.

A sign and trade DDR for Gordon this summer coupled with our draft pick would be a great offseason.
LMA
Gordon
Draft Pick?
Walker
Murray

[talkspurs]

you mean their draft pick?

[cool cat]

A sign and trade DDR for Gordon this summer coupled with our draft pick would be a great offseason.
LMA
Gordon
Draft Pick?
Walker
Murray

I agree,
Step 1. DDR for Gordon & get whatever you can from Orlando, pick or Mo Bamba.
Step 2. Send out LMA for Lavine and get whatever else you can get from the Bulls.
Throw in whatever combo of Beili, Forbes or Lyles to help get the deals done.
Kick the tires on Gay and send him if it helps get an extra asset.

Maybe. But this team, right now, how much better are they without Popovich? 8 seed? top 4 seed?

I'm sure the Bulls can't wait to trade their young star-in-the-making core player for a 34yo declining vet. They'll probably throw in two firsts as well, since they're so desperate.

Now maybe to late, but early in the season he seemed to want out and Bulls wanted a big that could score.

[Joseph Kony]

ST never ceases to amaze me with their retarded trade ideas :lol


maybe we can flip Murray and Gay for Giannis while we're at it. Throw in whatever combo of Beili, Forbes or Lyles to help get the deals done :lmao

:lol Lavine is way too old to be given a "star-in-the-making" designation. FFS, he's probably be the fifth- or sixth-best player on the team, and I mean this team with all the lack of talent and with Aldridge traded. Dude's not a good player.

[Prime BEEF]

Agreed. 6th or 7th

Wouldn't include Murray; too much imo. Gay should be enough, but only if they include Middleton.

[ismael-robert]

Have yall read that Dragan Bender signing 10 day with warriors? Not sure if spurs approached him but if so hed rather go to last place team than here. Maybe hes looking towards their potential next year. So guess there was some hope for us to sign a waivee

Did you even bother to read those 2 links? Those 2 "reports" hold no merit. It's just 2 writers thinking certain teams could use a move, and provided their own opinion on who they think could be moved IF it were to ever happen. Those websites are just for clicks and hold no weight to them whatsoever.

Some of y'all just keep embarrassing yourselves. What's your next link? Wikipedia?

We could do a lot worse, but I'm guessing that he asked for the buyout, and has a destination in mind already.

I was thinking Clippers, since Bro already is there, and they, not the Lakers, seem to be the 'it' place to sign.

Yeah Clippers too, but I think LA Lakers can probably give him more playing time.

He plans to sign with the Lakers.

This how is gonna be now for the next few years in LA ....all vets and solid role players jumping to clippers or lakers

Why do you people think any buyout option would want to jump on this sinking ship? The Spurs/Poop stock is as low as ever, and this is a team that had trouble signing FAs when they didn't suck.
