Avery Bradley is a target we have not talked a lot about... The problem with him is that he's kinda undersized but if Boston doesn't feel like paying him he could be the perfect complement to TP and Manu (save maybe for the 3 pt shooting that could be better)...

Beli + Splitter for Wallace + Bradley + picks

Or Green + Splitter for Wallace + Bradley + one more first rounder than above

If Bradley gets the starting 2/backup PG minutes and Wallace gets the backup SF minutes we could move of lot of the other guards...

[r0drig0lac]

Good take. That'd be about the only way I'd trade Splitter. I think the Spurs could trade Tiago to Atlanta for the appropriate assets and redirect them to Toronto.

Add Noguiera and a Spurs first to that. Or add in Fields for Daye and send Bonner out as well on lieu of the first. If Bonner stays, he and Joseph or Mills might fetch something decent.

Lowry leaving toronto? lol, what's wrong with these guys

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I would really like to trade for Markeiff and Marcus Morris. Marcus can play the 3 and Markeiff can play the 4.

So now Manu is out for X amount of time. Which need is it time to address? the complete absence of a backup SF? A creator/facilitator for the 2nd unit? Another defensive wing? A 3rd/4th big man that can play defense and/or catch a pass?

[xmas1997]

Looks like our positioning for this upcoming draft just got a whole lot better.
Next will be Timmy and Tony.
Hope we at least get into the playoffs healthy, and in practice.

Spurs draft a small combo guard in the draft or a stash in europe.. bring in some 3 string scrub from some fringe team that they didnt even throw a bone to.

[Robz4000]

Now's the time to make a trade tbh. Now that Manu is out the Spurs have nothing behind Beli on the wing.

[FireMicoHalili]

Team chemistry will help us win. FO just waiting for Kawhi to average 20PPG

Spurs are shopping really hard for a euro player or a short sf who's natural position is SG

[FireMicoHalili]

No one's going to get traded because of team chemistry and the system I knew the Spurs were screwed the moment I saw Ayres flub four dunks in just one game

[TheGoldStandard]

I think Nando has a brother, Mando De Colo... not as good as his brother but he has some upside..

Can we somehow trade Errors for Anthony Davis? Maybe throw some picks with him.

[FireMicoHalili]

Chill guys the Spurs are just "cruising"

It would take a of a lot of Heroin to make that trade happen.

[xmas1997]

No, they're hurting. Better now than later.

[Baam]

TP for Lowry + 2 first rounders
Green + Bonner for Ben Gordon + first
Splitter for Wallace + 2 first
Manu to the Heat for a scrub + first

[Chinook]

Bruising.

Manu injury quite change what Spurs should look at the trade deadline. They should now consider that it's a strong possibility that Manu won't be able to play for some of the playoffs.

Spurs should target a true two way quality SF/PF. If Manu is injured, he would mostly play SF and if he si healthy, he would mostly play PF instead of Ayres/Bonner/Baynes.

It's the same kind of player Spurs should have targeted before Manu injury but now Spurs shouldn't hesitate to give up their 2014 first round pick or even some 2015 cap space for it.

Wasn't Malcolm Thomas a SF/PF? And do you think Manu's injury is that serious?

[Bruno]

Thomas was a PF and asking him to be a rotation player of a playoffs team was a very logn shot. Spurs need someone better and more proven.

And Ginobili injury is a huge deal. He might be back on the court relatively soon but it's an injury that is happening and happening again since more than one year. The injury history:

2014/01/28 Hamstring, ?

2014/01/13 Missed 2 games (hamstring).
2014/01/08 Hamstring, day-to-day.

2013/04/17 Missed 9 games (hamstring).
2013/03/31 Hamstring, sidelined indefinitely.

2013/02/13 Missed 5 games (left hamstring injury).
2013/02/02 Left hamstring injury, day-to-day.

2013/01/23 Missed 4 games (left hamstring injury).
2013/01/16 Left hamstring injury, sidelined indefinitely.

2012/12/18 Missed 1 game (left quad contusion).
2012/12/17 Left quad contusion, day-to-day.

[Hoops Czar]

I don't think it will matter much. The defense is being picked apart against the elite. The offense has been in a state of flux all season. Players missing time due to various injuries are going to need more time to get acclimated back into the swing of things when they're ready to come back. The Spurs are out of wack on both ends of the floor and a trade at this point might actually do harm to team chemistry. They literally have less than a half a season to figure things out and the coaching staff doesn't really have any answers.

If they do a trade, it will have to be part of a threeway because the more the Spurs show of their useless D-league veteran laden, backend of the rotation, hot garbage, the less likely teams will be interested in trading for them, even as an expiring.

I think Aminu could be had for a draft pick and an expiring, Shane Battier as a stop gap for the season but I doubt Miami would trade him unless we gave them a 1st and a player, Marvin Williams maybe.. Not a lot of players who I would take with salary considering what we'll be looking at in 2015. I love the big 3 but I love the team too, don't want to see lean years.

Any ideas on who the Spurs should target? What are the odds that said layer would even crack the rotation given how hard it is to learn Pops system? And dang, that is worrisome.

meh player and he can't really shoot. I haven't really looked at available players but Spurs should aim higher.
