Perfect time to trade DDR

[RC_Drunkford]

The way they did it before. Land in the lottery in a year there is a franchise player and get him. It will be the only way the Spurs will ever be a contender again.

ok so which player is that in the upcoming draft?

I dont understand why this is even a debate. You will never be a contender with DDR and LMA as your best players. you might not be able to make the playoffs with them as your best players either. And that seems to be ok for some on here.

others aren’t ok with that and want to do something else. But yes, there’s a risk that “something else” doesn’t work out either. But no risk no reward.

For me, I just really don’t like these players or the style of ball they play. If we are destined to be 7 seed to 11 seed every year from now on then I’d rather have other more exciting players. What we have now is the worst of both worlds for me. Not good, very boring, no defense, just outside of the playoffs but not lottery.

They are too unintelligent to understand... I'd rather take a risk at ANYTHING ELSE rather than doing something I KNOW won't work...

They're the types that would drive 9ff a cliff simply because we have been going in that direction, while I'm willing to veer off into any direction, even if there's still a risk all other directions also has cliffs... Still would be better than driving off a cliff for sure

It would have to be a young player with ability to fill our 3&4 slots with defensive skills and able to hit the 3 and score 20+ per game would be perfect. We can throw in Rudy???

Are there a lot of those guys out there available for trade.??? If some of our future GMs can come up with a name(s) that would fit into the cost structure we can really have a great conversation.

Who said it has to be this year they get their franchise player.

[C-Dub]

If it doesn't seem like the Spurs are going to make playoffs by the trade deadline then we should trade DDR, Forbes and Beli to the Nets for Taurean Prince, Cabarrot and a 1st Rd draft pick. New lineup below:

DJM, LW4, Prince, Lyles, LMA
White, Patty, Cabarrot, Gay, JP
QW, KJ, Luka, DMC, Metu

so you want to trade DeRozan now to draft a 19-year old in 2022 so the Spurs can be contenders again in 2028?

Team friendly (they will save $20 million over 5 years on total deal) but overpay extension looming...
