Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
No, this team, as presently constructed, isn’t a sure 2nd round exit waiting to happen, they are a sneaky potential 1st round fodder against the wrong matchup.
With their hideously predictable offense added to a major slippage on defense, they could really be run out of the playoffs by a hot team in a 3rd-6th seed series: Pringles getting his revenge as the latest coach to embarrassingly usher out Popovich in the postseason? I have seen worse outcoaching of the Genius (rookie Donovan/Avery)..
Mock “det Jazz core” all you want, but they have a better net rating than us as a 7th seed despite getting decimated by injuries (their actual starting five have played a measly 12 minutes together all season)..
Guests making a midseason trade for rim protector (Bogut?) and Dame/CJ going HAM on us and Softridge? :lol
In reality, there is danger lurking below that we simply need to make a move--marginal or big- to avert catastrophe...
There are only 10 options in the poll, so I excluded Kawhi (current franchise player) and Manu/Tony (loyalty reasons) from it; they have zero chance to get moved..
In a potential trade, I don't think the team will relinquish the following combos (Aldridge/Gasol), (Dedmon/Lee), (Mills/Green); only one of the two players included would be part of a transaction..

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
PATFO tbh.
Easiest poll ever.
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
I wouldn't be shocked if internally PATFO are more ready to trade Mills/Green than Adridge/Gasol..
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
I wish they would do something bigger, but barring Pop personally souring on LA/Pau, I think Anderson/Forbes are two players most likely to get dealt/waived..
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
Pop is out there bitching about not being able to use the entire playbook b/c of all the new players so I don't see them moving Patty unless they get a starting PG in return. Pau is the newbie that gets the most touches so moving him shouldn't be much of an issue as far as "corporate knowledge".
Danny has a reasonable contract so he's probably only getting moved for a blockbuster trade involving Softridge who seems to have gotten on Pop's nerves ala Dick Jefferson.:toast

The "he's getting into shape" comment was first sign Pop is starting to get enough of his act..hope this lead to its logical conclusion..

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
I'm just glad folks aren't getting drunk on a fools gold record and gaudy point differential like last season :lol..The teams fatal flaws are all there for anyone (front office/ fans) to see virtually in every game....

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
Would hate for any of these New players to get traded Bertans and Dedmon considering their upside and contract. These two niggas have litterally won the spurs Multiple games.

Pop already pulling his pathetic it-is-unfair-for-a-productive-rookie act with Bertans...you know he is getting trotted out when we are down 1-3 vs the Clippers or GSW :lol

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
It depends on if LMA turns it around in these next 2 months or so IMO. January is when he got it going last year, and if he starts performing at a high enough level, it'd make his very underwhelming start easy to forget. Otherwise, I'd have to think they consider it fair game.
With Pau, I mean maybe at worst case Pop starts Dedmon (if he can clean up his fouling issue), but having a guy like Pau off the bench isn't necessarily a bad thing. Especially with him hitting the 3 ball, he'd actually get some good looks with that 2nd unit.
I think LMA is the odd guy out honestly, IF they decide to make a move, and he doesn't start performing better.

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
Realistically right now, this team has the 2nd best record in the league, is 2nd in the West and still trying to build chemistry...
With that in mind, I don't see any moves. Improvement will have to come internally.
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
I voted Aldridge, and added Anderson as a hopeful choice.

Forbes sucks. He is a zero every fucking time he steps on the floor. I didn't even expect the Spurs to give him a contract over garino. Shit Garino could have played defense here.

Agreed, spurs already picked up a 3pt threat in bertans. Forbes just seems kind of redudant at his size.

No. Mills is the 6th man that has really been carrying the bench and has carried the team to wins, together with Kawhi... if he's moved they may just as well call this season forfeit and just do a real overhaul, getting rid of the real dead weight.
If they trade anyone is one of Lamarcus or Gasol, and I really think they stand pat unfortunately.
The guys on the edge of the rotation are on very cheap deals and are worth their contracts relative to their ages, role and production. They won't net a contributor and should not be moved.
Unfortunately the loyalty contracts hamstrung the Spurs.

This really, we don't need any new players. Build with what you have and if that doesn't work, go for a big free agent this summer.

Love the optimism, but wins will inevitably regress to the mean if they keep up the garbage type of play and pedestrian point differential.
Record doesnt tell the true story and even Pop mentioned how they havent played well at all for almost 10 games or a month now.
People like Shaq & Barkley, who dont watch the games, just look at records and standings so those people will obviously have a more positive outlook.

I'm not actually optimist about the outlook of this roster, tbh, but then again, I've said since last season some of this would happen once Tim retires.
That said, PATFO is not the kind to panic, and I just get the feeling those rosy numbers will play a part in their decision making, even more so when you consider a bunch of factors like: this roster having a lot of new faces, the fact that we lost our defensive anchor, Danny missing a bunch of games early in the season, LMA being out of shape, Tony being hurt multiple times...
They're also in a difficult position where the only assets they might be willing to trade are relatively important to the team (Green, Mills)... thus what I concluded.
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
The Spurs are much more likely to make the WCF than lose in the first round at this point, good lord.
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
I'm going no one, mainly because the Spurs are notoriously adverse to in season moves, let alone significant ones . . . but I do think there's an outside chance the Aldridge situation reaches the boiling point.
They'll probably only even consider it if his representative(s) come to them, but it's obvious Pop's frustration is mounting. From the crediting Leonard after not missing a preseason game to attend his jersey retirement at U of SD (after Aldridge had just done the opposite at U of T), to the "he's getting in shape" dig recently, to the constant references to softness, fiber and grunt.
Neither side seems happy with each other and it increasingly appears headed for a mutual parting of ways in the off season.
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
Only thing I can see is the Spurs considering a straight up trade at the deadline for DeMarcus Cousins by sending them Aldridge. Do the Spurs want Cousins? Would Aldridge want to be the man in Sac? Unless they really slip I see them standing pat otherwise.
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
heart sez "Aldridge or Gasol"
head sez "PATFO are standing pat "

This. Anybody thinking any of these guys are getting traded are pipe dreaming. Not saying I like too many of our guys right now but this is exactly what I'm thinking. Spurs only real shot at a ring is to keep this team intact and hope and pray some chemistry bonds this mess together. It cooooooouuuuullld happen.

Stand pat or trade lma/gasol.
No potential net in return for Bertans and Dedmon. Mills is untouchable. Others are scrubs

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
lol The FO will never trade a member of the old big 3. They will give them loyalty contracts until they retire.

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
They'll stand pat but TD will get tired of seeing our front court play like pussies over and over again and decide to give it one more go in a couple months.

Are they seriously going to watch the sickening predictability of it all without making a single move? :lol

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
:lol Gasol and Dirk starting. That would be funny to watch. Not sure I'd do it though with Bogut's injury problems but he wouldn't be on the books after this season giving the Spurs room to make moves.

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
If PATFO stands pat :lmao
Holt family better start firing some motherfuckers for being content with being a second round exit
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
PATFO stays put. They can't let go of their egos to admit the team they assembled sucks.
-
Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
There's nothing they can really do to put themselves on the Warriors level, tbh..they'll be fine vs. anybody else, though..
They're missing a legit #2 option at PG(Aldridge is ideal as the 3rd guy, see: Durant-Westbroook-Ibaka, Lebron-Irving-Love, etc), which they won't have for years, at the very least:lol

A clear admission that the Spurs' goal this season is NOT the LOB. What is PATFO's goal - 2nd round? That would be realistic for this team. But if they don't either A) turn the keys over Murray or B) make a serious upgrade in the backcourt what is PATFO's goal for next season. One more season of Tony's starting at PG would likely be a signal to Kawhi to bolt.

I really don't know. There have lately always been super teams so I suspect putting themselves in the best spot to get a shot but realistically Tony and Manu are too old for this shit and they are still important to the team. Patty and Danny are role players, Simmons is a guy who bought his way into a dleague tryout and his best skill is his amazing athleticism in transition. He's not a jumpshooter and when the game stays in half court sets he can be taken Out of his game. I hope he finds his game for the team's sake, but none of these are news to Pop. He invested in the big men and it is what it is.
That said, Pop needs to start working Dijon in somehow a few minutes maybe in the first half. I bet he wouldn't have played Davis if Pau wasn't injured...

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
Funny how this team has one of the best records in basketball, and as constructed has virtually no chance to win it all. The NBA, this year, is about 2 teams, and the Spurs are not one of them. Too old. Too slow. Not enough basketball savvy to make up the difference.

Re: Who will get moved by the trade deadline?
Let´s suppose Any of Danny, Patty, Simmons and one of Manu and Tony become available to other teams.
Which guards do you see on the block that would make a difference for us and that could be acquired with those assets?

Monta Ellis would be the easiest get. He is on a pretty nice contract that shouldn't hurt. He is having a horrid year and should be grabbed without much. Problem is contracts. It would take Green to nab him, but might net you with something else in return, like Glen Robinson, Miles, pick, etc.

Hmm... I agree that is doable.
But i doubt Monta Ellis is the one that would make a difference in our guards rotation.
