Lowe: Someone in league texted me and said there's a little bit of buzz about 2 for 11 + Aldridge

[r0drig0lac]

but I can still see them running with Wiggins, and building up his image around the league as a player on a winning team

so do you believe that he will be seen as a good player and not that he is playing well for having Klay / Curry and Dray on his team? I don't really see it working that way, to be worth his contract he would have to play as the best warrior for an full season.

[Mugen]

Pretty damn nervous when this FO is involved in this much trade chatter tbh. I have zero faith in them to make a competent trade. RC/Pop's #1 priority is probably making sure the opposing GM still likes them afterwards

I don't, but a team like the Knicks or Charlotte might. Look at the contract Barnes got from Dallas, which they regretted almost immediately.

[R. DeMurre]

I mean, -- the Knicks are reportedly interested in Westbrook now. Who can predict what terrible moves they'll make in the future, with the narrative of "Wiggins has finally matured and reached his potential" floating around.

Minnesota rumored to take Ball, GSW still seems like they're going to trade their pick and it sounds like Charlotte will take a run at Westbrook, which would include the 3rd pick (and possibly Graham and Batum).

Wiseman could still be available at two, maybe Deni drops a couple of spots too.

You must wake up every morning with piss in your coffee because every time I see you post its something negative. My goodness.

I just checked Hoopshype, and the most recent rumor is Charlotte has interest in Westbrook.

[SpurSpike]

Wow Spurs are actually doing what makes sense. Shopping their valuable pieces on the last year of their contracts, including Mills.

I wouldn't give up DeRozan for Kuzma and Green though. Would need a better package because I think DDR plays well with our youth.

[NASpurs]

It’s fappening!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Let’s go MFers!

[RC_Drunkford]

I got 2 questions here:

1. Why would Philly trade Richardson for Mills when Richardson is younger, cheaper and the better player? Not that I would mind to do the deal, it just doesn't make sense for Philly

2. Why would we want more SGs?

My way of thinking it is this: adding one more guard diminishes the return of Bryn Forbes.

[Degoat]

Maybe spurs are sending them pick 41 as well? 76ers desperately need a pg that can shoot, plus y’all gonna laugh but they need some guys that bring a positive culture to the team lol

[JuneJive]

Getting Richardson for Mills would be huge.

Bryn is getting moved to Center.

[RC_Drunkford]

I'm thinking the same way. Getting rid of the 3 musketeers Mills, Forbes and Belinelli in one offseason would already improve the team by miles

true, they are saying Mills might be a better fit as a PG. I doubt that but if Philly wants to do the deal I'm all for it

I think its because Mills has the one elite skill set that Morey values most...3pt shooting.... he'd fit great next to Simmons or Harden (of Philly acquires him).

[Kurik]

Love Mills but I like the swap for Josh Richardson if it happens. Not an amazing trade but solid especially if we are sending other players out.

[Dverde]

If Mills is traded, Forbes is definitely coming back.

[Sugus]

If Mills is traded, Forbes is definitely coming back.

Yeah, that's the catch. Pop won't let go of every single pet of his, all at once. Plus, no matter how hated 50 Mill$ is on this forum, he's a much more solid player at his role than Forbes is at his; he also is a great glue and energy guy, good locker room presence, good vet, and could end up transitioning to coaching after he's done playing. I wouldn't mind the Spurs dealing him if the package is worth it, but now that the rumors are there, I'm having second feelings about this...

[spurspl]

maybe this mills-richardson rumor isnt just a swap but a part of a bigger deal which includes lma, horford, picks etc?

[K...]

Forbes has never been a problem, he's dirt cheap with known skills. Forbes starting guard and major minute hog was what sucks. Until we get Kyle Anderson back, forbes is our default glue guy.

Yup. Having Forbes on the roster for cheap doesn't sink the team. Starting him does. imo he's okay for 10-12 minutes as the 10th man.
