LMA Trade Idea: Spurs Get Harrison Barnes, Nemanja Bjelica and Robert Woodard II

[lmbebo]

I dunno. I'm stuck on wanting Bagley ... but I guess it would work ...

[Excessive Egotist]

I'd hate to include Walker, but I get why it would likely be necessary. Won't be a popular opinion, but Spurs might be able to convernt Barnes into Boston's TPE and pick up two picks (net one, if they give up a pick) and a TPE of their own. Or two picks and Time Lord. Converting Aldridge and Walker into Woodard, a pick, and, effectively, more cap space might be better than keeping Barnes.

The other go-very-big option is adding Gay and Mills to the Kings deal in exchange for Hield.

Or put together a package of Barnes & DeRozan to Warriors for Wiseman and draft compensation.

[jjktkk]

Its a win, win tbh. Ppull the trigger Pop, make it happen.

[Mr. Body]

TBh his advanced defensive metrics are really ty.

[RC_Drunkford]

make it LMA + Lyles and the 2023 first round pick and I'd do the deal immediately

[Mugen]

I don't like that trade. I still think Lonnie can be much greater than Barnes and maybe even better than DeMar

Same but not with the old man around tbh. If Pop plans on coming back next year and they decide to bring back Wombat in the offseason, I don't think Lonnie will ever hit his peak with the Spurs.

I’m happy to part with Walker IV in any trade that makes sense long term. This is not it. I’d rather just buyout LMA at full price than this. Our 2021 first, in his 3rd year is probably going to be as equally as good as anyone in this trade given our ability to draft and develop

[KingKev]

Or we could just “run it back” sans LMA. That is basically what this trade accomplishes. Less downside, less upside. No thanks.

[spurraider21]

works for me tbh

[spurs1990]

Definitely a promising trade. I like both players a lot as multi-year rotational players in San Antonio.

Barnes cancelling out bringing back DeRozan is the immediate highlight. For those who've forgotten, Barnes was the ultimate blue-chip recruit in 2010 and played two very solid years at UNC. He contributed heavily to the Warriors 2015 and 2016 le teams. He's supremely Spurs character material, well-spoken, highly intelligent. Oh, and a starting SF who shoots 3's! Imagine that.

Bjelica (pronounced Bee-Elite-sa) is a deadly 3pt specialist. Last year he pulled this off against the neighbors to the east. Do it RC tbh.

[Mr. Body]

I mean, Imma repeat it. Harrison Barnes is a really, really bad defender. Far worse than DeRozan. Far, far worse.

But carry on with your little jack-off session.

[BillMc]

Also, good luck breaking up this broship:

Who calls Lonnie "The Buddah"? Have I missed this nickname somehow? Was it self-given like Kobe calling himself The Black Mamba?

[Fusternino]

Barnes was definitely the weak link on the pre-Durant Warrior teams, and yes, that's when considering Bogut.

[gambit1990]

i don't see the spurs moving lonnie right now.

[SpurSpike]

I like the chemistry our young guys have, would hate to break that up by including Walker. I think it would rub some of our young players the wrong way.

[K...]

I don't like this trade unless the spurs are very high on woodard. It wouldn't make us a contender, but would keep the floor from coming out. I think the chemistry hit is irrelevant. This team w/o derozan hasn't established an offensive iden y to waste.

I think Sacto rejects the trade. I think they assume the spurs want Woodard and would ask for 2 picks. They know LMA won't stay. So they trade 2 starters and a prospect for a prospect guard and a late pick? Not every team has the spurs problem where the paycheck warriors want to leave. Sacto has us by the balls in this one.

[bluebellmaniac]

If Woodard was in this year's draft, where would you project him being picked?

Sounds like he would be a great addition to the coffee gang. Filming starts day one after the regular season.

[QUOTE=Spurs Homer;10460511]white has some good qualities -

unfortunately - he is a crystal glass china doll![/QUOTE

Yeah both him and Walker are definitely never going to compete in any "Iron Man" compe ions

[JuneJive]

Walker and the 1st should fetch you more than that.
( Imo, they have more worth in Spurs developing hands. )

Barnes is pretty blah.

[Ice009]

If Barnes is as poor of a defender as some of the guys here have mentioned, I'm not interested at all. What are his actual strengths if he's that poor of a defender?

[td4mvp2k]

make it LMA + Lyles and the 2023 first round pick and I'd do the deal immediately

there's no way they would get a 1st and walker. lyles instead tbh.

PREACH. The time to garner any value for LMA has passed. His only value now for us is a second and an expiring. Beyond that, the next best alternative is letting him walk. I have NO faith in PATFO’s ability to get a proper deal done. We don’t need anymore coffee gang culture players and don’t need to offer a first to procure another role player.

[exstatic]

I was wondering if anyone remembered that LW IV and Fox are boys.

[MoSpur02]

It worries me that Walker IV didn’t get playing time.
