If Chicago moves him, I would have to think they tank immediately and start rebuilding, right?

Are Danny Green and Paddy Mills locker room cancers? Do the Spurs normally trade for locker room cancers? Do the Spurs typically cut off their nose to spite their face? Do I need to get a psychiatrist in here to tell you why the Spurs wouldn't make this trade? If you're just having fun then, crofl, you made me laugh :lol. If not, I don't know what to tell you. It takes this nigga til mid March before he knows what he's got on the roster and he typically doesn't set his rotation til early April. Haven't been keeping tabs on the collective bargaining agreement. Have they talked about moving the trade deadline back until April 1st to accommodate Pop? I really don't think he's going to make knee jerk reactions based on a couple of bad losses in January (never has before).

Later...means still 2017, right?

Because Green couldn't hit an ocean in last regular season and we had to wait until this season to see a little bit more hot-than-icy...

I don't know if I've ever seen a fan base blame role players for their troubles more than Spurs fans:lol many people here don't seem to watch the NBA outside of the Spurs..Green and Mills are cold right now, they'll get hot later, we literally do this every single season on this forum:lol

For Me it's not about that. I think Mills is likely gone and Danny is a limited role player, while all the other Spurs stars are old (other than Kiwi... Lamarcus has started to be unreliable). Though I know the finger pointing should be at Lamarcus. Maybe he's the one traded this season. I have no attachment to the role players when the team is this old (again outside Kiwi and the young end of the bench roleplayers). RC should be opportunistic.... but Spurs are standing pat so this is just a thread for amusement (like many others)...

Last regular season was clearly an aberration, as he shot 50% from 3 later in the playoffs and has been between 40-48, this season..I don't know if you were around years ago, but these threads have popped up every single season since 2011..

Doesn't change my point, anyways..if you look at the season as a whole, they have been contributed very well in their roles..

Spurs have 5 high-usage players that run the offense(Kawhi, Parker, Aldridge, Gasol and Manu)..only 1 of those players has been consistently good..no other good/great team in the league has that problem..

People are still talking about his "O" and completely glossing over his "D".

Never been a big fan of Butler, but Danny probably has the most trade-friendly contract, and he would give us an injection of offensive skill with decent defense.

I believe Chicago is in turmoil right now, might be the right time to try to pull this off.

My feelings about Patty are known, I like him, but I think the Spurs are going to lose him in the offseason anyways, might as well try to get something for him.

Thoughts?

And then they can trade Parker for Lillard since Portland is in turmoil too

The problem is that in roughly half the games when his O isn't going he seems to get distracted when he is playing off the ball D. This is espet true when it comes to dealing with screens and weak side catch and shoot attempts. I don't know where his head goes or why but you two or three times a game when he is in icey mode... Loose focus and drift out of place or away from his man. Its frustrating because when he is engaged he is a very good defensive wing.

As I said before, I think if the Spurs are going to make a mid-season move, these are the contracts that together can bring some value back... We all know Tony and Manu aren't going anywhere, Pop loves Pau and will give him at least another year, Patty is likely gone in the offseason for nothing, and Danny is on a very reasonable deal, but it's one of those contracts that can fetch you something in a trade.

Butler is probably a pipe-dream, tbh, but who else for that kind of money? Is it worth even making a move?

ASG is coming, this is where the mid-season trades start to happen...

Parker, Manu and I'm also assuming Pau aren't going anywhere, so Lillard isn't coming to be Tony's backup, tbh...

Butler might be unobtainable, but he does more or less what Danny does, and on offense, much better... plus you get something back for Patty since he's gone anyways. I think he wants out of Chitown too.

That's the rationale anyways. If not Butler, some other guard that has an offensive game and is a relatively solid defender. There aren't many, tbh.

I'm cool with Green's performance this year. I think Mills' troubles go beyond variance, though. You're basically committing the gambler's fallacy here. Mills has been coming up heads so much lately (his slump), you think he's due for a streak of tails (getting hot). As I'm sure you know, probability doesn't work like that. I think defenses have adjusted to Mills and maybe the pressure to continue to perform in a contract year is getting to him.

And we won't even talk about his defense.

I was hoping "Anthony" meant "William Anthony Parker", tbh.

rasual?

not really. no chance in hell of that to happen ... wait, three pages? ... this should be a joke thread

Not enough value in that trade for the Bulls to even consider. If Butler does get traded by the trade deadline they will also have to trade Wade to since he will bolt if Butler is gone. I don't think they will trade Butler but you never know.
