That fat ship barely made it out of dock but it did sail...
Beno wants out of NYK. Can we trade the three scrubs at the end of the bench for him?

Well if Parker and Embiid really stay in college the idea of taking back Wallace for two 2015 picks was really good... But now everyone is gonna treasure them like crazy so its too late...
I don't understand why people keep wanting to trade for ball-dominant players, tbh..
The Spurs need high-end role players that can defend, not more ball-dominant scorers..
No sh*t. We have Bellineli, Patty and Ginobli all coming off the bench. What we need is another 3 who can defend well and knock down shots. If he can create in Iso situations when called for then that's a plus, but otherwise there are more glaring needs
On one hand, I agree with you. I don't get people thinking the team needs another ball-handler. The only open spot in the rotation is for a defensive forward. Gordon and and Turner don't really offer a net benefit.
But I'd also be willing to take on another ball-handler for the right price. It would be great gambling on a young player with upside if it only took the expiring deals. Ilyasova wouldn't be a bad get for Bonner and De Colo. Evans is too expensive, but he put up strong defensive numbers at the three the last few seasons, on addition to his better-known offensive accomplishments. No reason not to look for value.
As long as the Spurs don't trade for Jeff Green I will be happy.
I don't see at all Spurs going after a high profile/high salary SF with them having Kahwi.
Mark has been on fire with his trade predictions this year. Very well thought out, logical ideas and has nailed most everyone. Let's hope he has one more left.
That'd be a great trade. Spurs would still have Bonner's expiring to work with too.
Me either - I was just speaking about a player I don't like.
Would you guys really give up Baynesy for Dunleavy? Guy can contribute but he's already 33. Not sure if I'd pull that trigger. Bonner and Decolo all day, but the Aussie's got potential and he's young.
I guess I can see it as part of win now mode, but I don't have to like it.
I know we don't need Gordon (or his massive contract) I was countering BAAMs Gordon for Splitter straight up deal. It would be interesting to see how high or low Splitters value really is.
I'd love to see a deal that included Bonner and De Colo for Aminu. They may go into tanking mode soon enough with all of the injuries and compe ion for basically 1 playoff spot. ( Assuming Dallas continues to play well and secure the 7th spot or higher).
If they can't move either Evans or Gordon they may make a smaller deal. According to Yahoo they are looking for help in the front court. Bonner isn't Anderson but fills the general role of stretch 4 for them.
He's an experienced small forward. At 6'9 he can shoot and put the ball on the floor a bit. Would be a nice and cheap fit for the backup SF. Baynes won't play in the post season, save for blowouts or injuries. Duncan, Diaw, Splitter, Leonard and occasionally Ayers.
For as much time has Ayres has actually seen this season I would think he'll get the nod in the Post Season even eclipsing Bonner minutes. Dunleavy would be a nice bench guy, not great defense but a tall scorer who can handle the ball and is another body to throw at the perimeter guys
I would prefer to keep Bonner over Baynes. Bonner is the only one that brings something different.
Something different? He's been doing the same worthless for over 7 years. Damn, the rationalization for this piece of albatross kills me.
Bonner is a specialist, nothing more.
A specialist at choking every spring.
I don't know what is funny. Spurs have Tim/Tiago/Ayres/Boris. Bonner is the only one (outside of Boris who is not consistent) that can space the floor and hit 3's. Despite his shortcomings it's a valuable skill. He does something different than the other Spurs bigs.
It's no surprise he can't make a contested 3 to save his life, but he does force the opposing team to cover him.
That ''spacing'' myth hasn't been proven when it's mattered most. His shortcomings also overshadow his one skill of hitting open shots in the regular season in games we would've won anyways.
