They aggressively shopped Dejuan Blair too. Its most likely theyre trying to find someone to take De Colo off their hands. Nothing more.
Splitter's much better on Aldridge, Lee and Griffin. And he's easily the best on West and Bosh out east. He's the team's best defensive big even though I think Diaw's more versatile over all.

Wolves, Blazers, Suns won't be a factor in the PO, who you guys can't see this?
Imo, mills, cojo, nando, and Baynes are all expendable
Trust woj and no one else
Young and Diaw could do a fine job on the likes of Love, Pek, Griffin, and Aldridge. If I recall correctly, Young just had a very solid game against Aldridge a week ago in Portland in a 76'ers win.
.... He is not much better on Griffin or Aldridge.
You know, just like how the Grizzlies weren't a factor in 2011...
It's an understatement to say that the Spurs have been interested in JR Smith previously. Brent Barry was just about held off a charter because everyone believed the Spurs would complete a deal for JR Smith in 2006:

He's the best on Bosh yet he could even provide rest for Tim in the Finals?...
I'm not sure about Aldridge and Lee, you may very well be right tbh but offensively let's not bury our heads in the sand about the Kawhi Tiago and Tim issue, that absolutely doesn't work this season... The bench shrinks in the POs thus it's only gonna get worse...
If it includes trading Diaw, then it's not worth it. Diaw's been balling!
Yes he is.
Oh come on. You know that that example is not as cut-and-dry as you make it out to be.
if the Spurs trade Diaw...
Yes, Splitter actually held Bosh to a horrible percentage for most of the series. Tim could noy recover on him quickly enough. I mentioned that in my Finals Defense thread back in June.
I agree the offense is a major concern. But Splitter will be needed in a good number of potential series as a defensive specialist.
Why the would the Spurs want JR Smith and his shoelace shenanigans?
Yeah, it is. The Grizzlies had a major size advantage and exploited it to victory. Sure, Manu was hurt. But that could happen at any time. Even though Memphis wasn't a contender, they managed to win the series easily.
They were also interested in Malone. Those ships have sailed.
and how have the matches gone ever since then?
Spur fan has developed a fairly severe case of reverse Darwinism over the past couple of seasons.
No, they couldn't. Young is not a legitimate post defender. He's not checking any centers and would not be able to offset that as the fifth option on offense.
Well I think a two way SF is a way bigger need but I understand your point.
The Spurs are able to win in the first round. I mean, they upset Dallas the year before with a hurt Ginobili. And they have had two first-round sweeps since then. It's not like they usuallt need all hands on deck to beat a low seed.
Manu was our best player and had a broken arm. Duncan was gimpy as . Splitter would have helped but the fate of the series would have been the same.
Anyway, I understand that Splitter is a valuable piece. His defense is solid, his footwork is underrated, and he serves his role in the offense. However, I would choose Young over him in a heartbeat. Firstly, I know that he could be able to play a role against any team we play against.
Just last week against Portland in a 76'ers win he throughly outplayed Aldridge. Yes, Aldridge had 29 points, but on 30 shots. He's a very solid player...
