Spurs Trade Rumor Thread (Spurs eyeing Collins, Osman? Fielding calls on Jak?)

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs lead the entire NBA in screen assists and contested shots. That’s Jakob, on both sides of the ball. He does all that mostly unnoticed work with only 3 fouls per game. That’s playoff gold, but not for us.

Sure but they just gave up a lot for a center and now they're going to trade for another one? They can't play them together. I don't think they're in the market for Jakob to be honest. At least not at what the Spurs would want for him.

[exstatic]

Pat Williams plus Portlands 2022 pick would work money wise. Would we do it? Would Chicago?

Yup. A good young player…for NEXT year.

[tbdog]

That trade by Portland. Holy , that's awful.

Maybe they’re looking to move Vooch at the same time?

It’s about $$$. They shed salary, saving them payroll AND will now get the $10M non tax payer distribution this summer.

[Dverde]

Latest rumor is the Spurs close to pulling the trigger on doing absolutely nothing and buying out Trad Young.

[MannyIsGod]

They gave up 2 firsts and want to move on from the guy a year later for Jakob? Yeah I doubt that.

I refuse to believe there wasn't a deal that saves them money and gives them value for Powell and or Covington. Its a really awful deal for Portland. They literally get no value back.

. Portland just did something nearly identical. They paid two firsts for RoCo, and just salary dumped him

[TD 21]

Balmer doesn’t care about the tax.

Yeah, but unless Covington is a hedge against Batum opting out and walking or they don't intend to re-sign the former, their depth chart is too wing heavy/"PG" light going forward.

[The Truth #6]

Maybe there was some cash under the table?

There’s cash for Portland this summer. They now get the $10M non taxpayer distribution.

There’s cash for Portland this summer. They now get the $10M non taxpayer distribution.

That would be above the table, so to speak. I was joking about undisclosed cash.

The Clippers are trading Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson and future second-round pick to the Trail Blazers for Norman Powell and Robert Covington, sources tell ESPN.- woj

Maybe some of thrse deals will get done now..

POR must be high on Keon Johnson, otherwise seems like they could have gotten more for each of those guys individually.

Pat Williams plus Portlands 2022 pick would work money wise. Would we do it? Would Chicago?

In a heartbeat, but CHI really loves Williams.

I think they are keeping Simmons and Keon and try to build around them and move CJ and Lillard this off-season... that's my guess...they might move Nurkic before the deadline so they don't lose him for nothing as well.

Sources: The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to pursue Brooklyn's James Harden ahead of NBA trade deadline Thursday – and the Nets are now open to discussing a deal.

That trade is the fantasy football equivalent of a 100 email long chain of complaints. How on earth did Portland agree to that?

[KingKev]

The Raptors don't have an expendable young player and wouldn't be amendable to making a fair trade even if they did and the Bulls only have White, which doesn't make a lot of sense.



Cir stances changed quickly, but in the end it's more luck for the Raptors.

This is not a good trade for the Trail Blazers, but even though it's a clear talent upgrade for the Clippers with little downside, it's not a great fit either.

They needed a third option who could defend small guards and play make; Powell can't provide either. This could mean Morris is traded next to reduce the tax hit/increase draft capital, but it'd eventually equal more S bag at the four, reducing one of their advantages which was size on the wings.

Massaj wouldn’t hire Brian Wright as his errand boy. Unpaid, still a no. Massai is a G.

Biased national media types will spin it as extremely wealthy owner/"intelligent front office" doing work, but it's bad optics for the league as it continues to look like a feeder system.

They're trying to re-tool around Lillard on the fly, but a Lillard-Simmons back court would have as much as more defensive issues as a Lillard-McCollum one. Apparently Nurkic has low value.

At this board continuing to believe that Wright is the lead decision maker. Classic case of blame the "black" (biracial) man.

Chicago has Portlands first this year? yes I'm taking that deal then. Williams would be a great pickup when healthy and Spurs end up with another lotto pick. Do it Mitch err I mean Brian

I just hope that Wright is not left with his hand on Thad’s contract when everything settles.

Damn that simmons trade is actually going to happen huh

You definitely could be correct but, my money is still on them moving Lillard this off-season..
