Official Trade/Signing Ideas Thread

[cd021]

Forget that. Mirotic is the best player in Europe right now, they won't trade him and Splitter messes up their payroll for the next 3 years, while they plan to amnesty Boozer.

There is even talk that they may move Noah as well and clear out more space (and hopefully get another 1st round pick). They could wind up with 3 first rounders this draft. Maybe they package one of those with Noah and move up the draft board.

Did the spurs sign Thad Young yet? That would be something.

Not sure Philly's is going to pry away a top 20 2014 first round pick for the guy, which is what they're asking. Could be that cap relief plus late 2014 first rounder is the best offer they get by Feb deadline.

Philly has their own first rounder (assuming its 1-14 or else it goes to the Heat) + New Orleans pick (unless it's top 5). If they can acquire a late first, it will allow them to make some interesting trades to move up in the draft.

Love Splitter (at times) but I have a feeling if he struggles this year in the PO's, we will probably see him getting traded within the next could years. 9 mill a year is a lot for a bench player that cannot contribute in the playoffs.

What do you guys thing?

edit: ing autocorrect Tiago**

[Prime Time]

DeAndre Liggins has been impressive in the D-League. He's racking up assists and was an active defender in the NCAA.

But he's bat crazy/a headcase, plus it doesn't make sense for Spurs to sign 2 D-Leaguers. , there might be a rule against that. Not sure though.

Dunno how reliable this is, but here goes...

Meanwhile, Hawes could end up with a team badly needing a big man, and rumours indicated that the San Antonio Spurs are very much interested to take him.

Interesting. Hawes is shooting 43.7% on threes on 3.9 attempts per game, which are both very high numbers for a big man. I haven't watched him enough to know much about his defense or rebounding; I at least know enough that just looking at the numbers won't nearly tell the whole story.

I don't know where he'd fit in the rotation, though. He's basically a 5 only, albeit with enough range to be a great floor-spacer on offense. He could fit well next to just about any big except Duncan; I doubt Hawes is mobile enough to defend 4s with any range or quickness at all. In fact, the Splitter/Bonner combo used to light up the league on offense, Splitter/Hawes could be better due to more rebounding on the other end.

[AFBlue]

Hawes is a better all-around player than Bonner as the "stretch big", so I could see why the Spurs would be interested. But if he really is that available, I would imagine other teams with more attractive picks and/or prospects could offer a better package.

[TheGoldStandard]

Hawes in theory fits the Spurs as a 5. It's a contract year and Philly wants to get something for him. Might see a 3 team deal with the spurs involved

[Robz4000]

Hawes would be great for the Spurs, at least offensively, but they'd prolly have to give up too much for him. My question is how good is his D? The couple of times the Spurs played against him I remember Duncan getting anything he wanted.

Can't be worse than Bonner, I'd pair him on the bench with Tiago if they did ever decide to move Tiago to the 2nd unit.

Somehow I doubt this is true. Anyone know anything about the guy who wrote that piece?

[Bruno]

Hawes is too slow.

[look_at_g_shred]

Hawes sucks.

Another unvalidated rumor.

[Baam]

Caron Butler ing about his playing time...

8M expiring is pretty nice... He's kind of a head who can get under the opponent skin like SJax, why not... Would not get excited about the move but it'd be better than nothing...

Buyout candidate.

[Baam]

Buyout candidate.

That'd be nice but I see him signing somewhere else if that's the case...

At this point I'm convinced the Spurs need a big move and top talent to get back to contender status...

JR Smith, Amir Johnson, that kind of player...

[cd021]

Off memory, he was. He is pretty slow and checking Basketball reference, he is has a career 107 defensive rating. That's pretty damn bad, especially as a starter. He has actually been a net negative player for his career. This season,though to be fair , he is a 110 offensive rating and 106 defensive rating this season.

He is a good rebounder and a great 3 point shooter but Bonner is still a better fit in limited minutes. He does hold value defensively. He seldom misses rotations and is an effective post defender.

Also Matt Bonner's career defensive rating is 104 while is offensive rating is an obscene 118 ( +14 net rating compared to a -6 rating for Hawes)

Sixers are, apparently, looking to package Hawes with Evan Tuner. They are also putting a deal for Thad Young on the back-burner (according to the article, they still want to move him)

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nynauvm

A possibility, based on that report...

76ers Get:
De Colo
Bonner
Green

Spurs Get:
Hawes
Turner

Smith would have been a risk for the Spurs prior to this season. This season he has seen whatever stock he has plummet. His shooting numbers 40%/25%/59% for 15 ppg. He has a big hand to play in Detroit being so bad (and inconsistent) for a small forward to take 15 shots and average 15 ppg is just awful.

He also has no clue that he can't shoot 3's. That doesn't stop him from jacking up nearly 4 a game and hit 1/4 of those. Also his contract expires 2 seasons after Spurs "2 year plan" where we have signed contracts that expires by the off season of 2015.
