How could you even suggest of trading mills...smh
Best Spur... he is as valuable as KL is
imo our worst contributors so far are Parker and Gasol. Current Gasol is easily replaced by Lee on offense or Dedmon on defense (depending on matchups). Parker can't be traded though he still can give his one B-grade game out of three played when he is healthy. we r missing athleticism when Gasol is on the floor, just like previous OKC series...my summer dream was not to waste much money on offensively mega skilled vet but try to get an athletic big man. I thought the bucks could agree on trading Monroe+MCW...when I watched last game vs Bucks I realized Monroe is not athletic and LMA is bigger (haters would call fatter) than Monroe to say nothing about his offense. I felt very sorry we couldn't offer anyone for Ibaka. Whiteside was not available. Cousins is and will always be a cry baby. We missed Biyombo and Howard trying to get Durant. I thought we could steal Pekovic but he became a traumatic...so we are not trading anyone until next summer...it's the Spurs Family even without jumping to get defensive rebounds. and I am sure we can get Ibaka from Magic with Payton would be a pleasant bonus)))

I see it very unlikely and risky for the Spurs as they will be very thin at the guards spot. But in truth George can replace Manu as a SG and Tony as PG, and fill for the minutes of all Patty, Simmons and Kyle.
Forbes could get into the rotation and call up a player from Austin.
Utah gets a good player to pair up with Hayward and two "development" guys.
Both Utah and San Antonio risk the fact of the key players in the trade entering free agency.
Hill can move up to "2nd unit" general after Manu retires and to starter after Tony does so.
You got that right and the stats back it up too.Quote:

Jon and Kyle are fillers in there Utah may not even want either. What they lacked was a starting caliber PG which HIll has turned out to be for them. It just doesn't make sense for Jazz at all.Quote:

All in all, what will matter is if they think Patty will be a better investment than George. Championship experience may also be of importance for them, and while Kyle and Simmons are "fillers" they may fill a need for them.
Dedmon can't even stay on the floor because of foul trouble and all of sudden he is going to be a starter on a championship caliber team??? And who is going to play behind Danny next year when Manu is retired, Forbes? LOL
Fail 0/10
If Len/Dedmon give you a COMBINED 36 minutes (one foul per 3 minutes) then you're good. Pop can put Millsap at the 5 & Kawhi at the 4 to close out games similar to what the Duds do w/ Gaymond/Dominos. If they need more size then Lee can play the 4.Quote:

Hawks won't let go of Millsap.
They have no choice as Millsap will walkaway from the team at the end of this disappointing season ala Pau/Bulls.Quote:

Spurs are known to stick to the fundamentals and are known for playing defense without fouling. And games that we are fouling (vs Thunderefs for example, yikes) we tent to loose. So again unless we stop fouling, I don't see Dedmon playing any significant minutes in the playoffs. Plus he turns the ball over twice for each assist he dishes. Yikes.
Is the athleticism there? Yes, but basketball is a mental game, and if you keep making mental mistakes during the reg season chances are Pop will not play you in the playoffs.
The good news are that in the last few games Dedmon is "playing within himself" so I hope that at some point he figures it out and plays consistent, but it took Simms some time to figure things out and he is more experienced than Dedmon.
They were supposedly open to blowing it up going into last season's trade deadline and trading Millsap in the off season had Horford re-signed.Quote:

Word is he's who the Raptors have long coveted to fill their gaping hole at power forward. I could see: Millsap and Hardaway Jr. for Sullinger, Ross and Poeltl. The Raptors also have Wright and an extra 1st (Clippers) as expendable assets.
Spurs got to make a play for Cousins, a Leonard/Cousins duo is perfect to build around and Cousins would be the real replacement for Timmy. Doubt it happens, Spurs will probably keep Aldridge.
How this will work ? Spurs got no assets to get player of Cousins level. You can`t trade 5 roles for one All-star.Quote:

Just a straight LMA for Cousins swap works in ESPN trade checker.Quote:

Ah, wasn't aware this is the last year of his deal. Not crazy about his age, but I'd take him in a heartbeat regardless.Quote:

So the only option is Kawhi or the highway and no I wouldn't ever trade Kawhi for Cousins. Sac has been known to make some pretty silly trades before, so if they want Aldridge for Cousins would the Spurs pull the trigger? They might like the fact they can make LMA their star.Quote:
