Imagine..
Murray/White/Johnson/Reddish/Jakob.....
What exactly are you getting back that is better?
Than Lonnie? Bogdan is someone already who'll provide consistent production that we've been missing from our backup guard/wings. Imagine being able to finally have someone to count on for buckets and not back down from the moment. Cam's offense is garbage right now, but his defense is solid. And if you can nab OO? Not a fan but it would be interesting to see what he can offer as a backup big.
Because on the trade market he'd bring much more because of his contract, small bust potential, plays the most important position in basketball, and has significant upside... he's not a clear cut better player today....just a more valuable one.
Yeah, Reddish is close to looking like a bust but so is Lonnie. Difference is Lonnie's kinda redundant with White/Murray/Vassell/Demar(assuming he comes back). Lonnie's currently the better offensive player but Reddish has better defensive upside and the kind of length on the wing that the team hasn't seen since Nephew.
Obviously we can’t predict the future but it’s irrelevant as far as this season goes. So looking at say as soon as next season I’m not so sure you won’t get that from Lonnie. He’s progressed nicely every year. 5 years from now I think we’d regret that trade.
We can easily fill those voids via FA and the draft and it won’t come at the expense of Lonnie.
Yeah we’re not landing a max player but this team hasn’t struggled to find good value in FA.
Just looks like a pointless trade for the sake of making trades.
So we take him just because he is a long wing ? i know that's not your point but he is an awful shooter wich is his supposed strenght, he was also awful with Duke.
The only thing he can do is stealing a little bit, giving you some D but other than that he is bad. He may progress but i prefer Lonnie at the time.
For sure I’m not advocating to trade for him but we need a guy like him in SA to develop in our system, Lonnies inconsistency drives crazy.
Cam Reddish is ing terrible.
Great insight. Come again.
I understand, i think we need more a four who can provide some D and can shoot. We also need a back up big.
The ability of this board to overlook gross inadequacies of opposing players while metastasizing smaller issues without own players makes me laugh.
I see what you're saying here. Adding up prospects and picks, the deal as stated would have the Spurs sending out three (Lonnie plus two picks) and receiving two (Reddish, OO). That's -1 to the Spurs, and I think it should be +1 instead because DDR is the best player in the deal and the Hawks get to dump Bogdanovic's contract, who is owed $18M each of the next three seasons and, at least judging by the stats, isn't playing well at all (32.7% from three).
Yet your ability to provide any actual alternative is zilch.
i can see the spurs landing horford. much preferred over k love.
houston-orlando deal was heating up but seems to have fallen apart atm.
aaron gordon is reconsidering if he wants to be traded
magic are going forward in looking for a trade though.
hawks keeping collins per woj.
when woj talked about la he only spoke of his opportunities to sign with different teams. he didn't even mention one possible trade partner for the spurs.
I'm with you.... I've been looking at it as sending two 1st's.... however, it didn't really say one way or the other.... I wouldn't do it with two firsts (wouldn't even consider it) but if it were two 2nd's I might think about it..
we should just keep him then. Tired of giving away players for free. We are currently a playoff team in the west and LMA can still help as a backup C
You get blacklisted by agents for doing like that. I’m not talking stars, we wouldn’t be able to fill out our roster.
EVERYONE does buyouts at one time or another.
Cam Reddish ain't it, fella.
Shady Ujiri made Casey sit through a post mortem 3 years ago when the Cavaliers swept them in embarrassing fashion in a projected close series, only to fire him the next day.
He then lied to DeRozan about being on the verge of trading him, despite the heist being close to completion and apparently agreed to from the Spurs side (him and Webster supposedly had the audacity to request a 1st from the Spurs initially, as if they weren't already screwing over their buddies Buford and Wright to begin with).
Unethical Nurse is even worse. Three years ago, when he was still an assistant, the Raptors offense became modernized and he was leaking to numerous prominent national media types who their self promoting, attention seeking franchise have been in bed with through this regime, that he was the "brains" behind it.
