I don’t anticipate it but I’d actually love Herro on the spurs, he’s a dog when healthy. Im sure Brooklyn jumps on the opportunity tho

Why Herro and not Reaves?

[kobyz]

Herro for Spurs would make some sense if they think he can play PG for them.

I found his contract ($120M/4 years) horrible but when you see that VanVleet, who is 6 years older, got $130M/3 years, it looks like a bargain...

How is it make sense after not going after Reaves who is much more of a PG?

[Bruno]

The contract isn’t what’s offputting for me. He’s kind of a dumbass, and not very efficient from an advanced stats viewpoint.

Yep, I wouldn't do a trade for him. I'm not a fan too.

We were never going to get Reaves. Lakers would've matched anything we offered.

[itzsoweezee]

Do not want Herro at all. I’d rather have Lowry than a net negative guy like Herro.

[Mr. Body]

Herro is close enough to tempting, but then you realize he's a flashy dude with an influencer lifestyle and a Ms. Kidd girlfriend. With that gross contract, his chucker mentality, and his poor defense...

[Mr. Body]

Why Herro and not Reaves?

Crazy thought here, but Austin Reaves wasn't available.

Golly gee...you mean LA would have had to fouble his salary and we still could have gotten Herro....

We’ll never know. All we do know is the rest of the league was bluffed out of making an offer enabling the lakers to get a steal

[Mr. Body]

Just get Herro if you want Herro. Spurs couldn't be negotiating right now if their cap was held up for the rest of this vital week.

I don't really want Herro, im ambivalent at best there for the reasons you, ex, and Dejounte articulated earlier. Also, it doesn't appear to matter if the Spurs cap was tied up this week since we aren't doing anything with it.

[offset formation]

Opportunity cost.

Know what that is?

It means when you commit to an action, spend a resource, you can't do another action or spend that resource on something else.

Why do you want Jeff Green? Why do you want Jeff Green when getting Jeff Green means you can't use that money on something else? If you have $8 million outgoing for next year, that's money you can't use on a player you could actually use.

You just want to send money to spend money. This is stupid and senseless, no offense. The team has said very clearly that they want to see what works and then build from there. You just want to throw players into the mix to make yourself feel better. It's this consumerist wonky mentality that just wants to buy mindlessly without accounting for any consequences.

1. Could you be any more condescending?

2. Dude he signed a 1 yr deal for $6M

3. Are you aware of our current financial status vis-a-vis the salary floor and our cap room moving forward? Nothing I'm suggesting would impact that beyond next season

4. Jeff Green is merely the name you guys chose to run with, I listed at least 5 others before this not including Jeff Green, Briok Lopez, and Austin Reaves.

Free agent Eric Gordon has agreed to a deal with the Phoenix Suns, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Massive get for the Suns.

[RC_Drunkford]

Seems like the Spurs want to give the young guys playing time and not give the minutes to vets

[ChumpDumper]

There's really no reason to believe Lopez would be interested in signing with the Spurs.

Austin Reaves? If he's as good as ST thinks he is, why wouldn't the Lakers think so too?

Not sure what else anyone wanted to do that was realistic and useful compared to seeing what happens with the young players already on the roster.

The fact the Spurs didn't extend a QO to Mamu makes me think the Spurs had a few scenarios that could have used his cap space, but they disappeared quickly so they inked him and went through with the Osman trade. Now they may try to get into a Lillard trade in some way and/or throw some money at Plumlee or Bamba to hit the salary floor.

[kobyz]

We were never going to get Reaves. Lakers would've matched anything we offered.

I don't think you right, they would have paid a lot of taxes, but why not to try and at least ed them over?

[ChumpDumper]

Who knows? Maybe the FO would see that as a useless act that would destroy any incentive for the Lakers to work together with the Spurs in a future deal.

If a team a big tax bill coming, wouldn't they be looking to deal with a team that has cap space or trade exceptions sometime this year? That's the kind of thing that could still happen.

Bro, you're wandering around in traffic. If you think someone trying to rescue you is condescending, that's your business.

Brook Lopez was staying a Buck. I don't know how many times someone has to tell you, Austin Reaves was never going anywhere. Like, seriously man. Just drill that through your thick skull.

And Jeff Green is an old fart.

If you want to to and complain, come up with realistic scenarios.

Man, I know we were laughing because they were getting a bunch of former Spurs but Phoenix has really done a great job filling out their depth all things considered. KBD, Okogie, Gordon, Eubanks, Watanabe…they really pulled together a decent group of bench guys that should be able to somewhat keep things afloat when the main guys sit. Obviously still a top-heavy team but I’m impressed.

[Mr. Body]

Making moves during a busy FA season just to mess with one of the other 29 teams is remarkably dumb.
