NBA Trade Deadline: 2020-21 Season

[RD2191]

You'd love for me to stoop down to your shit-flinging level, oh so much... Try again with one of your alts, might get you better luck tbh :tu
Says the guy posting from an alt. And I've never had an alt, ever.

[Dejounte]

Dude, calling someone dumb is basic currency here, and I enjoy tweaking those yawling twits who exhibit none of the class or intelligence of the organization they purport to follow. If someone is going to start calling Otto Porter a savior, I'm going to call them dumb. It's the Internet, they can take it.

Using epithets like faggot or retard, that's another level. Learn the difference. Seriously.

RD would never have the balls to say 99% of his shit in person. Dude would lose his job in a second. That's how you know this fat fuck is a pussy and can't back anything up.

[RD2191]

This clown.
Ban this faggot, timvp. Smh

[exstatic]

I wasn't attacking you btw, you're free to be happy/angry at whatever; having said that, being happy that Orlando chose a "direction" is really "right now" thinking, tbh. They also "chose a direction" the last time they went for a rebuild, and it's gotten them nowhere still, and there's no signs that this current rebuild will take them anywhere either. There's a lot more to rebuilds than just getting picks, and having a good scouting department, good development programs, and all that stuff, can make or break a rebuild - and I don't particularly trust Orlando on those fronts. We'll see what happens, but I wouldn't be surprised to come back to this post in 5 years and have ORL still in the toilet, tbh
They’ve pretty much been rebuilding sine Dwight left town. Some Spurs fans would be happy with that, though.

[RD2191]

Look in the mirror, you fat fuck
:cry:cry

[Sugus]

timvp should have shitcanned people using words like faggot a long time ago. I told him this a long time ago, but he's pretty much a joke of a moderator and there's a reason this site is regarded as a cesspool. It's better than it used to be, slightly, but that shit should be an insta-ban.

Yeah, agree, it really brings down the discussion quality when you've got people shit-flinging and trolling left and right in the middle of threads (like my boy Dejounte right now, ironically enough lol). I kind of respect timvp holding onto that "principle" of unmoderation above all, but it definitely makes the place worse, and I've lost a lot of my original enthusiasm for exchanging perspectives with everyone over it. More than a handful of posters simply aren't worth replying to or addressing.


the “but muh internet freedom” crowd won’t like it, but yeah.

This is a basketball forum. I’ve lurked this shit since I was a child and I understand you all have these characters and personalities you want to play. It’s very cute and very endearing. But that shit doesn’t belong here.

Yeah, I tend to laugh at the fake tough guys like RD, but it does get old fast. I question your mental sanity if you've been here since childhood tbh :lol I'm very glad to have only found out about ST on adulthood. What a cesspool to be growing up through...

Portland and Denver just got better. Warriors out trying to do something. Dallas and Memphis has our number. Spurs playoff chances diminishing as we speak.

Itll be more enjoyable once spurs do jack shit

Finishing up the article now, tbh :lol

[exstatic]

I disagree that it's necessarily 'right now' thinking.... it's right now if your buying...it's thinking of the future if you are selling.... now they will probably screw it up... I don't have any expectation for the results of the path they chose.... I just want us to choose a path...... and maybe we have and we'll see that in a little while..buy or sell....do something that shows we have a plan...but right now there's no evidence that we have....and we know the status quo isn't very good.

We are on a path: draft and develop.

[Ron Swanson]

Yes!

:lol

[Robz4000]

But a few weeks ago we were battling for 5th seed!

:lol COVID fucked everything up, per par. Of course to those paying attention the Spurs were equally as close to the 10th spot, and now NO is playing better. They prolly snag the final play-in spot over the Spurs.

[Sugus]

I just think we're in desperate need for a new direction as a franchise that has won 5 NBA Championships with 1 happening just 7 years ago. The fact of the matter is that one player single-handedly (well, with his uncle's influence) detonated this franchise and they've been slowly trying to pick up the pieces since then. With DeRozan, it's not a well-constructed team but we had to make due with him under the circumstances caused by that person in question. He's done the best to his abilities but this franchise needs to be lead by a player that is a better fit. I don't believe in the 1 and done playoff appearances as your franchise aspiration for the youth you have on the team. I just don't think that strategy will do the team much good considering the player ceilings might not be enough to be a serious threat for the next several years. When you combine that likely reality with the fact that San Antonio isn't a playing destination for prospective free agents who are increasingly all about the glitter and big markets, we have to rely primarily on drafts and making deals with the future in mind. That we're not doing that right now is very frustrating.

I don't disagree that the Spurs need a hard reset. I disagree with looking hearty-eyed at teams like the Bulls and Magic blowing it up, yet again, after years and years of unsuccessful drafting/development and treading waters, as if that's a path the Spurs would be so much better in. And yeah, the Spurs would (and will) rebuild better than Orlando and Chicago - and a part of that is intrinsically related to why they aren't blowing it up right now. That's all I was saying, it's a very interesting argument for sure. I certainly would like to see the FO pull the trigger on some trade today, but it's not looking likely right now...

[8sy21vd]

At this point, the best we can hope for is buying out LMA, Gay and Lyles. 2 out of the 3 want out, maybe Rudy has had enough too lol. At least that would force Luka and Vassell into the rotation.

[spurraider21]

Imagine 50k of homophobic posts
hard to sit on a high horse about homophobia while calling him a pussy in every post :lol

rolling in the mud with him is nothing to be ashamed of, just own it tbh

[mo7888]

We are on a path: draft and develop.

I'm not sure we are...if we were on that path we'd move a couple vets and develope a couple younger guys and add an asset or two.

[Robz4000]

I'm not sure we are...if we were on that path we'd move a couple vets and develope a couple younger guys and add an asset or two.

If the Spurs turned down two seconds for Gay, they’re not buying him out.

The other two have no market, so they probably are gone. Aldridge because contract is hard to slot in, Lyles because he should be out of the league.

[The Truth #6]

I'd say we are halfway towards draft and develop. Definitely more so after the Bubble, but still not fully leaning into it.

[Degoat]

Spurs watching all these moves being made thinking continuity will get us over the top lol

[rjv]

We are on a path: draft and develop.

lots of impatient ST fans who think we'd have a shot somehow by dumping the likes of walker. now's not the time to blow things up.

Yea lyles isnt fetching shit and should be bought out asap. Infeel spurs still will try and resign mills and gay

[The Truth #6]

They could have rented out Gay for a few months and got two 2nd rounders out of it (allegedly) and still signed him in the Summer if they wanted to. Is keeping Gay on the team until the end of the season more important than two 2nd round picks?

[Sugus]

Says the guy posting from an alt. And I've never had an alt, ever.

Sounds like something someone with an alt would say, tbh. Deny, deflect, attack. Classic maneuver of internet troll toughbois, complete with being hyperfixated on other people's faggotness. Way to go, Rob :tu

If they keep him, it will lend credence to the rumor. If we don't, it will invalidate it.

A third possibility is something like the offer was two seconds and a multi-year deal and Spurs actually walked away from a salary obligation.

[Sugus]

Shit. I actually feel sorry, momentarily, for calf tats, having such a verb named after him.

Letting all the vets (plus Lyles) walk would be pretty close to a hard reset imo. Derrick White (27) would be the oldest player on the team next season unless the Spurs use the huge cap space to sign an older player.

Good. We learned alot about our team this year. Flashes of playoff caliber but a first round exit is the ceiling. Obviously couldnt get anything for LMA, Gay or Mills that made sense longer term. I bet we work a sign and trade for DDR in the off season where both parties are satisfied. There are few teams who can actually pay DDR outright but many more attractive destinations may be interested. His value is higher if the receiving team eliminates the flight risk via offseason S&T. Another top ten pick coupled with cap space, young talent and a valuable S&T asset like DDR is promising.

Yeah, and it's the reason it's so weird to me that people say PATFO have "no direction", when they pretty clearly lined up all the vets' deals so they ended in the same year. They gave a shot to the DDR-LMA era Spurs, and we've seen how that works out. Now, whether they trade, buy out, or just let the vets walk, there's bound to be a turning of the page this off-season. We'll see where that goes, but it'll have been as good a transition towards a youth movement as we could've hoped for - the question will be whether that young core can develop into anything meaningful.

[Sugus]

dam. the ole "lol ur gay" insult.

i just got roasted

Were you really expecting meaningful discussion and terminology regarding gay/trans people on SpursTalk, though? That was the first mistake :lol

[PrimeMinister]

At a certain point it’s a joke for OKC

You can’t sign every single one of those picks and the likelihood of getting even nearly equivalent value in a trade for all of those picks is slim unless a huge unforeseen deal for a top 5 type player appears. Even then its a Hail Mary to get it done.

[Robz4000]

That’s odd about Danny green, he seemed like a good fit there lol

Love LDN but he isn't what he used to be. His contract, however, is very tradeable.

[RC_Drunkford]

:lol COVID fucked everything up, per par. Of course to those paying attention the Spurs were equally as close to the 10th spot, and now NO is playing better. They prolly snag the final play-in spot over the Spurs.

if it wasn't for Covid we'd still start Bryn Forbes at the 2

[rankingtear]

The wings I hope the spurs would target next season got traded Fournier, Powell and Trent Jr. Signing these guys in free agency got harder.

Also Khem Birch is there for the taking and we need a good backup C.

[cjw]

That’s odd about Danny green, he seemed like a good fit there lol

He’s the only tradeable guy they have left. But the salary doesn’t work for a deal for Lowry. Maybe it’s Aldridge after all (works with Green + Scott). Makes even more sense after adding a guard and moving out Bradley.

Also see Green to Warriors rumors, which makes some sense but also is questionable in terms of who they’d be sending out.

Some they can draft and develop. Then combine with future picks to trade.
Similar to celtics when they got all brooklyn picks. They got irving by picks + isiah. (Even though he left) Got a few promising young player and they're a consistent playoff team. So th y don't really have to sign them all. They can package a combination of the picks and players

[YoungbuckMurray]

So Spurs doing nothing per usual

They’re not drafting 17+17 guys in the next five years. They’re going to be packaging a lot of those picks together to move up, or to trade for a top flight guy.

The picks are from a lot of teams that figure to be drafting in the 20s, and because they have so many, may be more open to trading. For example, could move the Clippers and Phoenix picks in 2022, to move up a few spots this year if they want. Or package three firsts plus the Horford contract this or next offseason to bring in a top flight guy.

SGA is certainly a keeper, and they have other decent pieces on the roster to help build around.

[Excessive Egotist]

Daydreaming weird Danny Green rumors

Exactly. But can’t put yourself in a position to make big swings if you have zero assets. Every other team would kill to have that stash, even if none of the picks figures to be amazing outside of the Houston picks.

He's more icy than hot these days, and they already have plenty of defenders.

Oh OK, thanks. I thought he was still shooting decent in his icy hot cycle. I guess not. Didn't he hit something like 9 threes in a game earlier in the season?

Oh well, I'm off to bed. Enjoy the deadline guys. Hopefully the Spurs do a ton of trades and get rid of all the vets.

[RC_Drunkford]

Oh OK, thanks. I thought he was still shooting decent in his icy hot cycle. I guess not. Didn't he hit something like 9 threes in a game earlier in the season?

So tbe Lakers, Clips, and Heat are still after Lowry... if the Clippers get him they'll probably have to unload Morris for draft compensation to send to Toronto... at least he wouldn't be knocking down 3's tonight.

[exstatic]

obviously but when presti adds another 2027 protected second its just to the point of comedy

It’s 2+ complete rosters, plus whoever you want to keep from your current roster.

We’ve drafted 6 guys in 5 years, and there’s a lot of work involved in developing just 6. Now, raise that to 17. I think a good problem to have would be maybe 8-10 first rounders.

The likelihood of landing on a superstar is already hard enough as is. The more picks gives you more chances to find the next franchise player. Spurs are using the development approach because the guys they draft don't have star ceilings and they don't have the luxury of picking in the top ten because Pop refuses to outright tank.

Considering how often Spurs end up on the losing side of a trade, it's probably better we don't make any moves :lol

At some point, they’ll actually be under pressure to not use those picks in a draft. If they called me this summer, wanting to move up, I’d take a stand at 3 firsts. If they called me next summer, the stand would be at 4 firsts.

large contract, injury prone, coming off major surgery, abysmal defense, can only play 1 position. not many teams are interested in him anymore imo

Atlanta has been awfully quiet... and Chicago is still trying to find the right trade for Lauri.

No im with you. Trade any combination of demar,gay,mills and open up minutes for the young guys. Vassel is rotting on the bench with luka while patty and gay chuck it up for once more glorious first round exit( if even that)

Its bad enough spurs will probably get absolutely nothing for lamarcus aldridge

[Kurgan]

Wasn't Dallas trying to trade Porzingis? Whatever happened with that? Seems to have calmed down.

They're not gonna attempt to move Porky in a year where Lebron is feeling gimpy. They're gonna try a playoff run this season and then reevaluate him in the summer.

Of course not.

It's not bad move considering the streak they're on...they'll have to move someone at the draft to free up space to resign Collins but it might be worth the wait...

Getting nothing for Aldridge when he hasn't realistically been in the rotation since pre-Bubble. My goodness.

Rondo trying to get 3 championships riding the backs of far superior players.

I don't even like Dallas, but he earned his bitch label when he quit on them in the playoffs.

That’s quite an ask...

Haha wow half of that would be a good haul for Lowry. Suspect our ask for DDR was similar.

[TimDunkem]

Let's all point and laugh at the guys who convinced themselves that the Spurs were going to make a trade at the deadline for like the 10th year in a row. :lol

[stephen jackson]

Can’t even make a bum trade lol

[td4mvp2k]

:pop: DDR is our guy

[BatManu20]

Rondo for Lou Williams incoming.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Why would you trade Williams for rondo

[mo7888]

So at least we won't face Lou Williams tonight...

[SpurPadre]

Let's all point and laugh at the guys who convinced themselves that the Spurs were going to make a trade at the deadline for like the 10th year in a row. :lol

The definition of insanity, tbh.

Rondo for Lou Williams incoming.

1375150570944749568

That's an odd one

[Dejounte]

I liked Lou better for the Clips.

[Dverde]

Spurs closing in on Trey Lyles for Austin Daye swap. Spurs still trying to locate Daye.

[TimDunkem]

Spurs closing in on Trey Lyles for Austin Daye swap. Spurs still trying to locate Daye.
At least we'd have more than one guy with championship experience.

[BatManu20]

Why would you trade Williams for rondo

Lou Will is washed. Turns 35 this year and has clearly regressed. His best days are behind him. Also a horrid defender.

[The Truth #6]

Weird, dumb move by the Clippers, but they do really need someone to pass the ball. It could help their team, I suppose in theory.

[TimDunkem]

Lou Will is washed. Turns 35 this year and his best days are clearly behind him. Also a horrid defender.
And takes shots away from better players. They'll be glad to not have to watch him shoot baseline fadeaways anymore.

[The Truth #6]

No one expected the team to make any moves, but as fans we wait and find out. Seems pretty simple.

[gospursgojas]

Game got a little easier for Spurs tonight. Stupid trade overall for clippers. Rondo is overrated at this point in his career.

[timvp]

Williams is a terrible defender and a bit of a ballhog but ... damn, they really didn't want him any longer :lol

[Degoat]

One thing that’s disappointing, it sucks that we didn’t move any of the vets but honestly I wish they could have a made a minor move for a big

[Kurgan]

Haha wow half of that would be a good haul for Lowry. Suspect our ask for DDR was similar.

Lowry probably has more value than Demar due to his ability to shoot the threeball.

It's funny that Demar is unhappy with the potential contract offers he's received(hence opting in last summer). But he could have made himself much more valuable if he spent less time imitating the dead rapist and more time working on his three point shot. His excellent free throw percentage indicates there's no reason he can't be a reliable three point shooter. He's putting a ceiling on his potential earnings and hurting every team he plays for by insisting on playing like a mid-90s guard.

[TimDunkem]

Game got a little easier for Spurs tonight. Stupid trade overall for clippers. Rondo is overrated at this point in his career.
So is Lou. Rondo is better at this point.

[BatManu20]

Game got a little easier for Spurs tonight. Stupid trade overall for clippers. Rondo is overrated at this point in his career.

They both are. Both are washed but at least Rondo can still pass and play-make a bit. Lou is almost a solely a fadeaway jump shooter at this point in his career who plays zero D. Rondo doesn’t play much D anymore either, but he’s still an upgrade on that end from the traffic cone that is Lou Williams.

[timvp]

If Lou Williams has negative value, that's not a good sign for Aldridge's value, tbh.

[gospursgojas]

Fair point. The real winner is ATL magic city skrippers.

[PhantomDashCam]

Beverley and Rondo on the same team sounds problematic, least on paper.

In other news, Gay off of our injury report for tonight’s game.

Settles it. No deal could be made for Gay. Per par for a trade deadline day for PATFO.

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to reading all the "almost" trades the Spurs are going to claim they lost out on due to slightly higher bids.

[YoungbuckMurray]

[cd98]

In fairness, Pop said yesterday before the game no trades are likely. They've probably known that to be true for a week.

[crc21209]

Lou Will gonna go get all the ass and wings he wants now :lol

[spurspl]

There is one guy we can use to replace LMA:

This guy had heart. You could tell by how he clapped his hands after every missed pass, layup, and rebound. Pop loves a guy who holds themselves accountable with a hard hand clap and a shout to themselves of “come on, You are not Jeff Errors!”.

That one is obvious. Seems like the Spurs are rewarding everyone who doesn't leave them for greener pastures.

[Dverde]

Spurs do tend to do these things at the last minute. They’re still holding out for that second 2nd rounder for Whorford.

[Kurgan]

and extend Gay

and extend Patty. But not for basketball purposes. Can't afford to lose all that culture to another team.

[Dverde]

Sad thing is Gay could have picked the GSW over us and won rings. But at least he got more money with us.

welp, time to retire this thread

[cjw]

A lot of complaining around here for a team that could make the playoffs, plus will have $50mm of cap space (or can retain any of Mills/Gay/Demar, or get back an asset in a S&T for Demar).

Aldridge’s contract was always going to be difficult to trade without taking back money after this year. The Spurs want to keep the books clear.

Waffles > pancakes. Trade all pancake guys. Cut anyone who said french toast.

[timvp]

White's extension came in about 10 minutes after the deadline ... so time to wait a little bit longer.

[BatManu20]

Spurs just traded Trey Lyles to the Mavs.

[cjw]

Lyles traded away to Mavs. Spurs probably getting a top 57 protected second rounder, anything more would be a steal :lmao

[LeBowen]

I'm officially on the tank train and I never wanted us to tank.

They keep talking about being competitive and getting a playoff spot, but our backup C is Drew Eubanks and we don't have a single good 6'7-6'11 defender. :lmao
(Luka doesn't count as long as Gay is ahead of him in the rotation.)

Literally a team of guards who can't shoot.

At least I won't be bothered by awful losses anymore.

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs

[cd98]

Can't wait to see what those offers for LMA were that the Spurs claimed to be sitting on.

[mo7888]

We made a trade!! Did we give a 1st to move him?

[cd98]

Spurs just traded Trey Lyles to the Mavs.

Yikes, what does that say about LMA trade value?

How can you not enjoy watching all that CULTURE on the court? We're the classiest team in the league.

[Degoat]

LETS GO!!! Lmao

[cjw]

In all seriousness, moving Lyles gives the Spurs valuable room underneath the tax (assuming no salary came back) even if Aldridge doesn’t give up much to sign someone with the rest of their MLE. They can be competitive if they want anyone.

Not the worst outcome.

[gospursgojas]

It’s been deleted now. Said it was multi team deal.

[kjhip1]

for what, a bag of peanuts?

[BillMc]

Lyles to the Mavs

Fiesta gear couldn't save him

[stephen jackson]

Let’s fucking go !!!!

[crc21209]

I actually thought Lyles played somewhat well when given time, but he wanted out. Now cut Gay and give those minutes to Luka..

Ok Lyles to the Mavs was fake news. Shams deleted the tweet :lmao

I’ll take Chriss fuck it kinda always liked him

[PhantomDashCam]

The old Lyles fake trade play...Well played Dallas.

[BacktoBasics]

I guess I’m in the minority of people who prefer that we didn’t take on some other teams bad contract simply to move LA for a second round pick.

Would have been nice to see Gay moved. That was the most movable player beside Mills who was the least likely to be traded.

It would have taken a lot from another team to move DDR. Any team wanting him can work out a more agreeable sign and trade this off-season without having to worry about him walking on them.
