San Antonio has traded Nando De Colo to the Toronto Raptors for Austin Daye, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
per WOJ
it was an omen when they left his ass at that smoggy arena in Mexico...
Legit trade. This is just what we needed!!!!
Good for De Colo, He might get an opportunity to show he belongs in the NBA.
It brings nothing to Spurs since Daye sucks. They save a little money but that's all.
Crappy deadline after a crappy summer. Spurs could have done so much more especially with Bonner's contract.
Well, Daye second year is $250K guaranteed so it is a bad trade if Spurs don't get some other assets back.
Oh my the De Colo era is over!
Hahhaha, as if they would even CONSIDER moving bonner
Best of luck to you, Decolo!!
Welcome Daye, gotta be better than Ayres...
Did he have to leave his mask or was that included in the trade?
Was it just to get him out of the US? They've been trying to do that.
good trade.
Swapping misfits. Thought this was about all that may happen. Trading for a raw project tweener is Not a bad trade in my opinion.
Yup. Crappy trade after crappy summer, for a crappy player, giving up someone who promised much but delivered crap.
They save some $500,000 in the exchange though.. Useful for fitting in a roster player through waiver? I wont keep too much hopes though. Or at all.
Hmmm...So the Heat have traded Roger Mason Jr to the Kings where he's expected to be waived.
Spurs trade away a Spur Guard who, while is a capable passer, has a confidence problem with shooting the ball.
Former Spur Guard who had no issues shooting will soon be available...Coincidence?
Who knows...I just think it's unusual.
So what can you do Austin Daye?
I like that trade in that Nando never got a fair shake here IMO, not entirely within Pop's control. Hope he can pan out in TOR and stay in the league a while longer.
Daye isn't very good but he's got length and can shoot the 3. Maybe some Bonner insurance for the end of the season. Worst case scenario he doesn't pan out and costs the spurs a little bit of money, best case is he has a James Johnson type breakout. Can't really complain tbh.
Couldn't afford to lose that corporate knowledge...
Good for De Colo. He is a good offensive player. Not good on defense and for some reason was in the doghouse. I'm sure he'll get a legit shot in Toronto.
This trade is like the spoiled kid demanding a Heat jersey every day, then the father gets pissed off and sets one of the kids shirts on fire. "Happy now?"
Spurs also got a little less French which is never a bad thing tbh
Spurs did right by de colo too. Sent him to one of the most international cities in North America where he should fit in.
Actually, Spurs don't save money with this trade since Daye salary is $250K guaranteed for next season. All in all, this deal will cost an extra $50K/$100K to Spurs.
Well, at least something happened. I'm not sure exactly what people expected to get back for De Colo.
This was probably worst than not making a trade. Usually all Spurs trades these days are about saving money or accomodating a Spurs player rather than improving the team. Though, if Daye actually plays, that could hurt the team.
Yay !! Trade wasnt about money !!
Yup because there's so many teams beating down the door for him.
