Trade Deadline Deals and Rumors

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's bad enough we have to watch Bonner get run every night.

Now we're looking at super scrubs in Re and Boobie Gibson? Pop is just ting on the end of the TD era.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine Latest word out of Boston: Celtics making deadline-day run at player they've pursued before ... Tyreke Evans

[moisaenz]

Most probably POP is not going to make a move he is just having fun on trade deadline day... long rodeo road trip, he is just bored...

[dougp]

The Spurs could use a real starting-caliber shooting guard since they refuse to put Manu in the starting lineup where he belongs. That said, I still don't understand why they'd be interested in Re , because he sucks. It's got to be whoever the Magic would throw in with him, and the Spurs likely have designs on someone.

How do you qualify this statement? Re averages more points and assists in a Per36 than Green. Like I said, though, I simply don't see the Spurs moving Green (nor do I see Orlando taking him.)

I really would like him to prepare the team for tonights game against the Clippers instead ...

I discounted San Antonio-Re talks a bit earlier, but sources insisting there are legitimate scenarios in play that make Spurs a factor.

Maybe they are a factor, but not for Re . The Bucks were linked to Re , but couldn't agree on a trade. Add a pick or two for the Magic and this could work:

i think casspi, mbah a moute, a 1st swap, or a 2nd are the realistic spurs probables this deadline

Yeah I was working on something like that last night, since clearly Bucks and Magic had conversations about Re and Mbah a Moute.

Re also takes more shots, averages fewer rebounds and lags behind on most defensive metrics. Add in the better 3PT%, and there's no question Green is more useful to a team with a good offensive system installed.

The trouble is that the Magic are already loaded with 15 players, and while they might waive one off, the ones who seem to be the lowest paid seem to be contributors/ ones with rookie deals on the team. So, them taking more than a player for a player seems a bit difficult.

I like that scenario.

You do realize basketball must be played at both ends of the court, right?

[Chinook]

I've been proposing that Mbah a Moute deal for as long as Milwaukee has been in trade rumors (like weeks ago). I hope that's something the Spurs consider, as depth at the forward spots may actually end up begin useful.

[Samr.]

I think the fireworks for the Spurs wont start until AFTER the trade deadline. Thats when teams start to tank, players get waived, and good pieces like Boris Diaw end up being FAs who are looking to play for a contender.

It probably wouldn't be hard to ship Blair to another team off for a trade exception and a protected second. Teams will take Blair for free.

[dougp]

Both shoot 45%, with Green 3% more on 3P ... Regardless, we're not talking about a Green for Re swap.

If that's the biggest obstacle to that trade, I'm confident that it could be overcome.

Nobody will waive anyone better that couldnt be aquired with Jax expiring, Bonner, Blair,Neal, 1st rounder in any combination

[dougp]

Yup ... I'm not some random GNSF. I do believe you can read and understand that at no point did I say that Re is a good/great defender - but I'd take him over Neal if you want to play defense.

San Antonio Spurs Could Trade for Re or Gibson

[Chinook]

But we are. If the Spurs trade for Re , it means one of three things:

Green is going be replaced by Re , either in the roster or in the lineup.

The Spurs don't think Ginobili will be able to go for the playoffs (crazy unlikely, seeing as Manu is back)

The Spurs plan to play more three-guard lineups with Green, Ginobili and/or Re coming in for Leonard. If that were the case, then the Spurs already have good candidates for a third guard on the team with Neal and Mills.

Basically, trading for Re would be a judgement against the two spot right now. There's no reason why they Spurs should be upset with the production they're getting currently from the position.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine Rumbles persist that Hamed Haddadi & second-rounder to Phoenix to bring Bassy Telfair to Toronto is likely outcome in final hour of deadline

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
Sebastian Telfair to TOR makes sense. He's close with Kyle Lowry, Rudy Gay and Alan Anderson. They train together every summer in Las Vegas.

why would you play a three guard lineup when you have jackson?
