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

[buttsR4rebounding]

They desperately need to surround him with shooters since they just traded 2 of the only 3 they had. Barnes is the only one they have left on the roster who can since neither Fox nor Mitc shoot 3’s. Their two best players are now non-shooters who are surrounded by non-shooters outside of Barnes. They’re going to continue to suck ass until they add some shooters to that roster.

They're the Kings. Even if they add shooters they will continue to suck ass.

Bagley is good prospect that may be salvageable. Lonnie’s problem is between the ears……..

Uh where exactly do you think Bagleys problems are if not his head?

I'd say the Kings organization. I mean, everyone misses on draft picks, but they've been in the lottery since 2007. In 14 years in the lottery and no stars? I mean, they did get Demarcus Cousins and he was good for a little while until he tore his achilles. But they were scared to death to supermax the guy before the injury. But at some point, isn't it a development problem and not just that every player they draft flames out in Sacramento?

No. I would have stayed far away from Cousins at any point. Drafting Bagley at #2 wasn't going to be solved if a better franchise did it. Some franchises just pick ty players with bad at udes.

It’s a bad thing if you’re still considered a good prospect after being drafted #2 overall and spending almost 4 years in the league. It really is.

I really can't think of many stars right off hand who were in their early years because of being in bad organizations who blew up once they moved to a good one. Who else besides Chauncey Billups?

Bagley is super skilled, with the right approach you may be able to unlock the desired production. I would not be mad if we took a look at him������

After he busts out, maybe, but you do not acquire his rookie contract. You wait until someone waives him or renounces his rights. He’s a scrap heap project, at the most.

[Dverde]

Bagley is the one with the whiny father. If anyone could fix his game issues it’s the Spurs. They helped Danny Green, a dude who can’t dribble, earn 100 million dollars

[rjv]

i wonder how serious portland really is about grabbing bagley and what they are offering. i, myself, don't want him on the spurs.

I am stretching a bit here because he wasn't but Wiggins is an example of someone who is really starting to shine.

[Atl Spur]

I’d trade juancho / Lonnie for Bagley / future 2nd

Your approach is the conservative approach and what Spurs would take. And it works with them having won 5 rings. But sometimes as a fan you want the PATFO to just take a calculated risk. Don't say Zollins because his contract is not what I call risky. Bagley fills the position of need and more (very skilled). He’s 22. If Portland gets him, they get his Birds right and 50/50 chance of getting a real good player at 22, and Spurs missed out. Bagley with all his skills could be a franchise player. For Thad’s expiring contract and SRP? I’d take a swing at him.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs aren't trading anything for Bagley. No one is trading anything for Bagley. He has a bad at ude, appears to be a bust, and has a loud father. Yes, Sac is a terrible franchise, but you cant just blame them for every players development. Like, Ben McLemore didn't become a top 10 player because they didnt develop him, it's because he isnt that good, like Bagley. they are terrible at scouting and drafting. I mean how do you have Vlade as your GM and pass up on Luka with the #2 pick??

Point is, let the Bagley idea go. he isn't going anywhere. like i said, Kings have been trying to give him away and no one wants to pay #2 salary for a player that plays like #2 Just because he was taken with the 2nd pick doesnt mean he should have been. Are we going to start clamoring to sign Anthony Bennett too?

That’s every player who left the Lakers tbh

Bagley can play period point blank, his at ude very well be the hindrance! If he is shipped here it might save his career

Whiny relatives lead Kyle Anderson and Nephew to both leave the org.

Spurstalk servers would be down for a week if this mock trade happened

• Pistons get: Derrick White
• Spurs get: Hamidou Diallo, Trey Lyles and Cory Joseph

I hope Portland does get him. One less team going after Jalen Smith this summer. That’s a kid worth putting some time and effort into. He’s hungry, because he wasn’t gifted 30 minutes of playing time right off the bat. Probably Spursy, too. His dad is a retired Navy CPO.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs fans love Trey Lyles, Sabonis, Marvin Bagley, Julius Randle.
But please don’t trade for John Collins, the only one of these guys who would actually improve the team

I’d like a Collins trade, I’d just rather wait for this summer so we don’t F up our draft position.

I'm with you on that, that's why I hope he doesn't get traded at the deadline. I just think people here really don't understand how well he would fit on this team
