Ken Berger of CBS is reporting Spurs aggressively looking to make trade

[Aremid]

A trade??? Please God let it be so!

[TheyCallMePro]

The bad teams are salivating over the Spurs late first round draft pick. Even though it'll be the 25-30th overall pick, a tanking team will be willing to listen to the Spurs to acquire it this year. And they'll take underutilized players off the Spurs hands in order to make the trade happen.

Most likely it'll involve a team like the Sixers, Jazz, or Bucks. Potential players from those teams worth trading for: Richard Jefferson (Jazz), Marvin Williams (Jazz), Gary Neal (Bucks), Thaddeus Young (Sixers), Evan Turner (Sixers).

My bet is that we get Neal back.

Shouldn't you be somewhere riding some posters?

Just stating facts. You don't like you can go drown your sorrows in tequila and eat yourself to death at the all you can eat burrito buffet you dumb, fat ass be@ner.

Hold the up! Wait just a damn second. You're telling me that there are burrito buffets somewhere? Like build your own or already made? Do they have dessert burritos? Where is this burrito buffet place? Do they have tequila there or was that a whole separate thing?

[r0drig0lac]

I didn't understand your post? Are you saying that with the way the game is played now three point shooters aren't so important? If that's the case, you need to re-check that opinion.

the comment was mainly aimed at the defense, but in relation to the three-point line makes it seem like you need an expert, I believe that someone who can hit the three occasionally, but who can drive efficiently would be more interesting in the Spurs squad today (of course depending on what goes in the trade)

I hope we see more of the Parker/Green/Leonard/Diaw/Duncan combination before they make a potential move, tbh..

Spurs have looked dominant this year with that combination, and Leonard has looked like the player we expected when he's playing without both Splitter/Duncan with him, tbh..

The only glaring hole on this Spurs team is a 3rd defender to go along with Leonard/Green, tbh..whether its a perimeter player to defend 1s/2s, or a guy to defend 3s/4s, it would be nice to have another defensive option(considering Manu is too old and Beli is atrocious on defense)..

I don't think they would have to break the bank for that type of player, tbh..

With Westbrook looking vulnerable and breaking down once again, Spurs are in the same position they were during the off-season, tbh..a legit contender that is as good as anybody in the West, but a good trade/addition would clearly vault them to the top IMO..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I would so trade draft picks, marco and any end of bench guy's for ariza or amir johnson, tbh. /armchairG.M

[Mikeanaro]

This could be the end of the Bonner era, can you imagine that? no more +/- king in SA.

[Chomag]

Potential players from those teams worth trading for: Richard Jefferson (Jazz)

[pad300]

What could we reasonably get for Bonner plus a 1st?

Things I would inquire about

1) Dunleavy from Chicago for Bonner +1st
Why for Chi: They're tanking, he's old...

2) Landry Fields (TO) for Bonner and Nando
Landry is decent backup SF now. If he ever fixes his shot back to where is was 2 years ago, is quite good - and we have the best shot doctor in the business.
Why for TO : It get them out of Landry's contract ($13 Million over 2 years).

3) Trevor Ariza (WAS) for Bonner, Nando + 1st
Would be nice, but I'm not sure if WAS would go for it...If I were them I would want more value, although Trevor's an expensive expiring, who I wouldn't bet on re-signing if I were them...

"Duncan has a player option next season worth over $10 million and Parker has $3.5 million of his $12.5 million salary guaranteed next year and that could make for some interesting moves to help get the team to the championship again."

That intimates trading Duncan or Parker.

lol

[RD2191]

Oh my God that stupid record thing is so annoying, the Spurs never do well against elite teams in the reg season. We always struggled against the Clips and the Spurs swept their asses a couple of season ago. Its as if these sports writers don't know about the Spurs.

[ChumpDumper]

We'll end up almost getting something done but not, waiving Nando and signing Cartier Martin.

[ace3g]

I can see why Spurs are aggressively looking for a trade...

D-League Showcase Second Team: Seth Curry, Nando De Colo, Dewayne Dedmon, Devin Ebanks, Trey McKinney-Jones.

D-League Showcase Third Team: Robert Covington, Ron Howard, Malcolm Thomas, DeAndre Liggins, K.C. Rivers.

Even a D-leaguer like James Johnson, Patrick Beverly and Danny Green can fill that role. I hope Thomas gets a chance to show what he can do as a combo-forward.

I also think Pop is trying to sneak Joseph back into the rotation. Mills is not really built for the playoffs.

[SupremeGuy]

Only players I'd trade are De Colo, CoJo, Bonner, and Ayres. Maybe Green if he doesn't get his back together soon.

I agree, James Johnson has been great in Memphis and looks to have made significant progress offensively..

I really hope Joseph isn't in the rotation, tbh, he just isn't an NBA rotation player IMO..

[RD2191]

I think CoJo just needs playing time. Look at Ayres, he was trash at the beginning of the season and now he's at least decent. For some reason Pop just hasn't given him time, same with DeColo.

I think it's going to happen, although Pop may just run no-point units to make sure all the wings get enough time.

[mountainballer]

agree that Spurs won't trade any of the top 8 rotation players. (might be willing to think about a Green trade, but not without having a solution for the guard defense that Green provides.)
there is only one player type that could help immediately by taking minutes at 3 and 4. in no other area we will see changes. examples have been mentioned before. (only players who might be on the market b/c of the situation of the team) guys like Ariza, Wilson Chandler, Thad Young, Jeff Green. maybe some more. can't say who in fact could be had, but those teams will at least listen. Spurs pick doesn't have much value for those teams, but teams will take it. only real reason is cap relieve and this puts Celtics and Green up front and Young next. both contracts don't fit into the 2015 plan, but let's guess that Spurs will swallow the third year when they believe that player can provide significant help this (and next) season. Green might be more realistic to get, Young would give more help, considering his athleticism and defensive abilities. (could guard Griffin, Lee, Durant, West, Lebron). considering the Sixers long term plans, they might be more interested in the Spurs 2015 pick. might even take a look at CJ, their current options at back up PG are not really better. offer them MB+CJ+NDC+2015 1st. they might not bite, b/c hoping for better offers, but they will listen.

Agreed. Frankly, the little hunchback has had enough chances to show signs of improvement, and has never really impressed me.
