Jeff Green, MGK, or Thad Young please.
I don't want them to rush a trade and get an inferior player. I'd also prefer they not cut a player as that would hurt their trade flexibility. I think they should just make do for a few weeks, make the best trade they can as the trade deadline approaches, and then watch for buyouts after the deadline. Basically what they usually do. Most likely, the benefits of waiting will outweigh the benefits of a stopgap player.
Jeff Green, MGK, or Thad Young please.
Thoughts on Ivan Johnson? I heard he just finally got released from China. I guess he doesn't really fit a hole on our roster though.
Don't need another small PF. If the Spurs want a big get someone that is actually tall.
What about Shawne Williams? He is a plus defender who's not a great but serviceable enough 3 point shooter.
Bottom line, there's only one player that check all the boxes and it's JR Smith.
Elite perimeter D when engaged
Off the dribble game
Elite spacing
In his prime
Salary is even pretty low for such a player (on the other hand the risks are pretty damn high)
What's the second best option? It's a limited role player that Pop will barely play anyway... If Pop wants to prove his greatness after that pathetic Finals where he shat the bed, then tell the FO to get JR and prove to everyone you could have coached a headcase like Kobe the likes, prove that you are not just a one trick pony who loses his at the first sign of trouble...
I know the Warriors are trying to find a back-up PG, and they have Harrison Barnes on the block. Since Mills has burned the Warriors everytime he plays, you think the Warriors would do Mills + pick for Barnes?
They already traded for Jordan Crawford.
Spurs 1st option should always be to reload or else we will probably be looking at a complete overhaul as Pop won't be interested in rebuilding. At that point we might see Parker get moved or Kawhi get moved for draft picks or pieces.
Not a lot of options out there to pick up and be effective for the Spurs. Spurs will probably just roll with what they have but Wizards trade for one of there SFs would be interesting.
It's time to prep for a ty run to the all star break.
I am all in, TBH. We need new impulses. I believe this atmosphere would help him bring his absolute best. We need more scoring and elite athleticism. He would be an excellent fit
True. I saw they were after Hinrich and were willing to give up Barnes for him.
Not a chance. Barnes still has some value. Moving him for a pick that's in the 26-30 range and Mils, a player who is playing about 15mpg would be a failure, considering he was drafted 7th last season.
One of the two is going me up being signed I think. The other best SFs, as ranked by Ridiculous Upside, are more 4s then legit 3s
The Bulls have multiple picks (depending on whether the 'Cats and Cavs picks are top 12, if they aren't both go to Chicago this draft) I think they could make a move for him on draft night if he is still on the Warriors and they have multiple picks to move.
R.C Buford should be trying really hard to land either Thaddeus Young or Trevor Ariza without having to give up Diaw.
Barnes>>>Leonard, TBH.
amen!!!
he'd be absolutely perfect tbh, i don't know in what condition he's in though.
Bonner for Dunleavy trade makes sense for both sides. He can back up Leonard when he returns. Great 3pt shooter. I get the feeling that the Spurs will make a trade this year.
The really alarming and worrying thing that I take away from this season is how very little changed from last year and the off season when there were gaping holes that we needed help at. This is essentially Duncan's last hurrah and players on the team know this yet the front office treats each season as if they can take on projects to help the Spurs long term knowing full well that we have a small window before it all comes crashing down. We sign Marco in the off season which was fine, we got him for Peanuts but Ayres for what purpose? He's not a defensive big he's just a project. Spurs didn't plan for a backup SF who they desperately needed, someone with athleticism and height because that's what we'll be facing in the playoffs, a true backup PF/C who is a defensive presence who snags rebounds and maybe blocks shots that way we can get going on transition. Spurs record is still great and all but like most point out this is the regular season and the fact that with all these injuries we're coasting through the season doesn't mean squat.
Without a true backup SF or a bench big that can help defend and snag rebounds we're going to be facing teams that will ramp up there defense in the playoffs while continuing to play there young starters for long periods of time which we cannot sustain. This is what the front office is giving Tim in his last hurrah and it's pretty insignificant, I shutter to think what the Spurs front office will do when they actually have to go out and get talent in order to field a team, something they've really never had to do because we were lucky enough to draft David and Tim, Manu and Parker and Kawhi.
The most embarrassing thing about Ayres is that he's a 27 year old project big. Only Spurs would waste their time trying to develop someone so old. He even admitted that he never learned how to properly catch a basketball until this season. He's practicing with tennis balls at the moment.
And they brought vets into camp and then cut them but yet Ayres was good enough to get minutes despite his lack of skillsThe most embarrassing thing about Ayres is that he's a 27 year old project big.

Caron Butler has been complaining about his role/PT with the Bucks. The FO has always liked him. Obviously not our savior at this point of his career, but he could be a decent starter until Leonard gets back and a decent backup SF later. He is an expiring, so he wouldn't hurt SA long-term and I think SA could land him for cheap.
Not sure what kind of package they would ask though.
Butler's done tbh. He'd be a solid buyout candidate but I wouldn't trade for him.
