spurs trade rumors

[baseline bum]

A player I would actually consider trading for is Chris Paul. I'd give it serious consideration, and the Warriors have him on the block.

I'm not sure how it would work. Just piling together Graham, Dougie, Osman gives them at least two shooters who could help their rotation right now and save money next year.

I don't want to give up much more. Second round picks, sure. They don't have a pick this year in either round, so one of our seconds. I'd consider sliding in the Chicago pick and obviously the Charlotte pick.

I'm not sure what market there is for him. Washington got Jordan Poole, Patrick Baldwin, an SRP, and a 1-20 protected FRP in 2030. Poole's contract was considered a killer back then.

Now, I don't think CP would like this. I expect he wants to play for a contender at this point (although that's out of his control). His personality is grating, but he did enormously help Devin Booker especially and the other young Suns. He'd run the team like a clock, let Tre go back to the bench, and solve the PG problem through the end of next year.

So, I'd think about it.

Spurs would have to guarantee that $31 million deal for next season to keep CP3 around. I would have liked him in the offseason but he looked finished in Golden State before he got hurt much less what he would be now when it's sounding like he's nowhere close to returning.

CP3 is beyond washed at this point. Id rather have Conley if we're chasing over the hill vet PGs

I don’t know what the obsession with cp3 on this forum is about.

[Mr. Body]

Who's obsessed? He's never talked about around here.

Mike Conley isn't available. Paul is a player who is.

[timtonymanu]

CP3 was washed since he left Phoenix, would have been fine 2 years ago. Warriors hyped up CP3 when they signed him but I knew it was gonna lead to nothing and they’re back in the lottery anyways.

I’d rather get Brogdon, if we’re talking short term solution.

still a great ball handler and playmaker.Wemby would be averaging almost 30 a game with paul as our pg.

He’s going to do that in the next year or two, regardless. We don’t need some washed asshole ex-Star for that.

These Twolves podcasters suggest Dougie might be of interest to them, FYI:

They are only really interested in him as a buyout candidate not in a trade.

Twolves gave all their picks away to get Gobert.

[SpurSpike]

I did see that Dyson Daniels may be available for trade "for the right package". Has not had a great season so far but could be an interesting option.

[BacktoBasics]

Pacers could use a Doug or Cedi and their back up PG Nembhard or however you spell it could be worth looking into.

[TD 21]

As much as the Pacers are too big heavy/wings light, they're high on Nembhard (Carlisle claimed he'd go top 10 in a re-draft in his rookie season) and wouldn't trade him for McDermott or Osman even if it worked financially.

[CGD]

Yeah, looks like they really dont have the salaries to make it work. Could be whoever spurs trade Doug to waives him and Wolves strike then.

Nembhard would be a nice get. Might be worth using some assets on him if he’s available.

Definitely interesting

I’m just puzzled why people want underperformers like Daniels who are close to getting paid? The best thing about draft picks is that they are CHEAP, the best value contracts in the NBA, and you’d be giving up two years of that value. They also have promise to develop, something Daniels hasn’t really done. I guess I’d be OK if they were willing to swap, like, Malaki for him, or a few seconds, but would balk at a FRP.

Daniels has a some good moments but his minutes and playing time are super inconsistent.

Now that could be because he's not developing like you're suggesting but he's playing behind these guys

Jose Alvarado
CJ
Hawkins
Murphy3
Ingram

Out of those 5 I'd consider everyone to be significantly better except Alvarado and maybe the gap to Hawkins isn't too far but he's had some great nights.

That's a tough log jam to crack and Dyson isn't a volume scorer. I think Daniels might be worth a look.

im sure they got some seconds somewhere

[baseline bum]

Would love it if the Spurs could get Brogdon for say the Chicago pick, though I might hold off until the draft to do it since the trade would make no sense if Risacher or Williams is off the board and they instead draft a PG.

Sure, but it’s one thing if we were the Bucks, Sun or Celtics who are salary top heavy— we’re not. It’s a perfect time to look for distressed assets.

Also, teams could be looking to move on for a variety of reasons (NOLA is cheap; Indy already has a star at the position) other than player performance. Last, I think a trade for a player on a rookie deal gives the receiving team a good excuse to take negotiations on the next deal to RFA, which could be a very good outcome for the team.

[Chinook]

Virtually no chance Champagnie is waived and probably only slightly more than that for Bassey.

I agree Champ isn't going to be waived, especially not until camp. I could see him not making the cut if they have 15 other guys who deserve the spot more. But the team isn't going to look into his savings. Even if they need the space for an acquisition, they're more likely to trade away bigger salary than his to make it work.

We have a full 15 man NBA roster, and either 3 or 4 draft picks. Outside of Mamu, those are the most waivable contracts. There’s a reason they were signed to multiple year, non-guaranteed deals. Unless we do a many for one trade, someone or someones will have to be waived.

As mentioned, the Spurs have a lot of expirings that free that up. That being said, I hope the Spurs aren't planning on running back this roster with fewer vets and more rookies. I expect legit acquisitions to make this projection moot.

if they sign barlow to a deal, i doubt they are keeping barlow + bassey in addition to vic + collins. and i dont think the spurs are going to be attaching assets to collins to unload him

Bassey's contract was always dicey, but thankfully there's no guaranteed money on the books. Barlow should get the nod going forward. MAYBE the Spurs trade Collins and keep both guys, but they need to invest in centers with more upside than Barlow. His size basically ruins him as a player.

I don't think the Spurs would pay to dump Collins just for cap space. But he is legit trade ballast if they do for a Young or Murray (or any other major) trade. Zach is at a nadir now in terms of his value (hopefully). But if he ends the season strong like he did last year, he'll be a decent trade piece.

Daniels was taken on pick before Sochan. He'll have two more "cheap" years after this. I don't think he's shown enough of what the team needs from the position. But the Spurs would be decently served by acquiring a prospect who they do like from another team rather than hoping to draft everyone. If Daniels' biggest issue is that he's going to be too expensive in a couple of years to retain easily, it sounds like the Spurs would be in line to get a good player.

I think CP3 would have been perfect if we got him at the beginning of the season. The idea is not for him to be some long term piece. I would acquire him because he's cheap and he would be excellent in establishing some order to an offense that looked disjointed. Basically, it would be several months of Chris Paul showing them how to be professional and how to run the offense and then have the Spurs buy Paul out at the end of the year so he could join a contender. Unfortunately, they couldn't get him to begin the year, and getting him now would not be enough time to help the young guys develop and he wouldn't want to play for a noncontender in his twilight years, especially as someone that has never won a le.
