Wouldn't be shocked to see this "mysterious" Green injury linger until the day after the deadline....
IMO, clearly Patty and Danny... that's $20m right there... maybe Gasol if there's any takers, his stock might be up a bit now...
Kyle at $2m is not worth the trade value, IMO, unless he makes some 3 team trade work.
Who would you put on this roster on the trade market?

I'd dangle Aldridge before the deadline and if they can get a mid 1st rounder, they should take it and run.
in need to go asap order...
Anderson
Mills
Costello
Joff
Paul
Hillard
Need a good Backup SF and Backup Pf/C for any of these bums.
Doubt The FO trades anyone though..
I like how this was sort of a legitimate thread and then posters just started ting all over it.
If you package all of them, you wouldn't even get a second round pick.
That package isn't worth LeBron's morning turd tbh.
Shame on this team who in like the last 10 years not having a pick less that what 25?30? For not finding every manu out there.
Danny & Patty were both rewarded with their contracts for 13 & 14....In a perfect world we could move both but pop/rc wouldn't dare mess with dat "SA culture"
Right now we are clearly showcasing DJ....The offense has been running through the bigs for the most part since he has been starting...It will take another 2 years (and some good luck) for him to be a real pg but he has allot of tools and its good to see him put up some numbers.
The front office needs to get more ruthless.....TP salary dump for example

I'd be happier with the 2nd round pick..

Lauvergne needs to be at the top of any list like this.
You're not going to get anything worthwhile for less than 3 mills, tbh... that's why Fathead and DJ aren't going anywhere, IMO, unless it's some sort of sweetener on a deal... We also know TP and Manu ain't going anywhere either, plus their roles are already fairly diminished...
Spurs are sorely lacking a starting caliber SG, and a backup big...
Aldridge can't be traded.
He shouldn't even be on a G-League list, tbh.
The problem with Joff is that he sucks badly, and $1.5m is a not a lot to work with. On top of that, he has a bad enough contract where he has a player option next season, IIRC.
I just took the last few minutes looking at drafts for the last 8 years or so. It's shocking how bad most players are. Depending on the year anywhere from 7-15 players average double figures. Take away the top five licks and it just drops. Go to where the Spurs draft and most players are just terrible or not even playing.
nobody is complaining about Spurs' draft picks, they are what they are. The Spurs do have some tweaking to do on this roster, despite Leonard being out, and in light of the rash of injuries. Even if it's not for this season, at least to start shoring up the roster for next season if a good opportunity shows up.
To do that, you need to move pieces that have relative value on their contracts. One could make the argument for Rudy Gay also, although I think the Spurs are paying what they should there for a scorer (provided he recovers from his injury).
Big mistake extending LMA imo
really limits our options
Only limits us this season, which is The Lost Season, anyway. It could be a real boon next summer. LMA will be an All-Star who is locked up for 4 years.
Good point...next season he will be even more valuable.
Because this and next season are throwaway's and its crucial we get some young talent in to give Kawhi a 4-5 year window.
It's the guys who will be 30+ during this window that we need to shop.
What we have to work with:
LMA +Green/Mills ...sweeteners DJ, Kyle, Bertans , draft pick
TP salary dump (cant see it happening though)
If there is a silverlining is the spurs now have are several good and serviceable players with “middle class contracts” that can be combined together with some young pieces (Murray, Forbes, Kyle) and picks for value. Just perusing player salary websites, i see lots of teams with a mix of really low salaries and very high salaries, and little of what we would call meaningful filler these days.
The spurs have at least 3 of those in Patty, Green, Gay, and even Pau gives flexibility with that final year being a partial. They need to get value for those.
"What they are" are pretty damn good picks for where they were taken. Better players were taken behind them, sure, but Murray and Anderson are far from busts. Milutinov could still become a good player though taking so long to bring him over diminishes the value of the pick a la Splitter. And White is just buried in the rotation, can't tell much about him yet.
To do that, you need to move pieces that have relative value on their contracts. One could make the argument for Rudy Gay also, although I think the Spurs are paying what they should there for a scorer (provided he recovers from his injury).
It would take a of a deal to move Gay. Pop obviously talked him up during free agency ("Spur for life" comments) and the Spurs aren't generally the type to trade away someone they don't want to move unless the return is compelling. Kemba Walker is definitely compelling though.
It probably should be Mills and/or Danny if you really want to bring back someone who will make a difference.
Trade machininig isn’t my thing much. But in Mills case he was awarded a generous contract and he will still get it no matter where he plays. With that, Spurs don’t owe him much more.
His spot appears to be taken over with Murray’s ascendence and Tony now a bench player. They have a glut of guards and have a draft pick they aren’t even playing so when/if they get Rudy and Kawhi back, some munchkin lineups aren’t going to see the light anymore outside garbage time. Bryn shooting and scoring well makes Mills even more redundant.
I remain skeptical Pop move them midseason (a smaller move is more likely than a full shakeup of rotation players) but at the same time, other than the usual guys that aren’t for trade I don’t think anyone should feel that secure.
