Donte Greene hasn't been able to make it anywhere else, maybe he would make a Spur?

spurs liked him in da past and I liked wat he could do tbh

[Mugen]

I don't think the Spurs expirings plus the First Rounder will get anything good. Thaddeus Young? Please. Morey's crony isn't gifting him to the Spurs for a pick in the 23-27 range, that's a farce.

No one else is enough to move the needle for a first. I like Marvin Williams, but I don't think the Spurs should crap themselves anymore for an expiring after seeing how this season's gone. That's even IF Utah wanted to add yet another young piece to their roster when they are going to have a ton of money clear, tons of youth, and actually really like Marvin, and he likes being there. He'll be a reasonable cost vet to go forward with, I don't know if they want to give him up for a late first.

No one is getting Jeff Green for a pick in the 20s. Nobody should want Evan Turner, who needs the ball in his hands. Spurs won't give the ball to Kawhi, why on earth would they give it to Turner? No one is getting Amir Johnson for a pick in the 20s. Brandon Bass isn't worth a pick in the 20s when he'd barely play anyway as the 4th big. Maybe the Spurs trade expirings and a 2nd for Ilyasova's garbage contract, but he's played like rancid trash.

I'd rather keep the first rounder.

I don't see much point in trading the first rounder any more, this season was flushed down the toilet when the Spurs refused to further develop Kawhi. Wasted the whole 1st half of the season with Kawhi, we've seen that garbage before with how they mishandled Splitter. Well, the foundation for failure was set in the offseason when the roster wasn't upgraded. But the house was set ablaze by keeping Kawhi in mediocrity.

Spurs gonna have to make a move, they are about to have a full D-league active roster.

[ace3g]

Spurs still have options: trade deadline, March 1 -- Playoff Eligibility Waiver Deadline, and Euro buyout; just have to hope the right combination of players/deals become available.

[ace3g]

One of the Celtic's SF could become expendable if Chris Johnson (just signed to a second 10 day contract) continues to put up good #s and they feel they can develop him for the future.

Agreed that the first rounder is important here on a team void of any young (by young I mean under 25) talent other than Kawhi.

[DPG21920]

that call.

Beri gud opinyon ur da bhezt

Beri gud opinyon ur da bhezt

who said it waz an opinyon...

[Aremid]

You either start tanking now or go all in and get a legit starter. Cant avoid the decision any longer

[HarlemHeat37]

unless the Spurs are getting Lebron or Durant, there isn't a trade they can make that will negate losing Leonard/Green/Splitter/Manu, tbh..

[DPG21920]

True - but we have to reasonably assume Kawhi/Danny/Tiago will make it. If the Spurs can make a trade to replace Manu, that would be beneficial. Especially if it's someone who Pop will trust to run offense through that could be relied upon.

[rick1991]

Roll the dice on Bynum give us a real chance

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm in favour of a trade for another perimeter athlete, I'm just saying, there isn't a trade that will help negate the D-League rotation at the moment..

[DPG21920]

For sure - only the worst would think that with this line up currently that any trade could make it better.

[Chinook]

Too bad Draymon Green isn't available. Maybe MWP will be the best they can do. I don't think it would even be that bad of an idea.

[DPG21920]

The reason I said I am fully on board with going after another scorer is because of Gino breaking down. I said I was concerned with his hammy injury last year and the subsequent results just like this year. Even though his minutes were managed meticulously, he still broke down and his shot was broken after the first hammy injury this year. Then came the 2nd injury to the hammy that will keep him out a month.

Even with limited minutes against bench players his production was unsustainable post hammy. Pop/Spurs still relied on him for offense though and when he was healthy he was creating/getting to the rim. That happened less after the injury and he cannot be relied upon IMO with this second injury.

I know the Spurs need a back up SF, but they need a 3rd offensive option and it's clear Pop doesn't really believe anyone outside of Manu can be that option. If that is the case, a trade for a legit 3rd offensive option is priority IMO.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'd rather run more plays for Kawhi, tbh..

[DPG21920]

Sure, but I don't see it happening. That's the point. Especially since Kawhi isn't here in Manu's absence to force Pop's hand in that.

I think you're spot on on that assessment about Pop, and Manu will be back to his usual role upon return. Personally, I think Pop knows he can't replace that at this stage, so that's why that won't be a priority. I think they're still looking at a backup SF, but wouldn't be surprised if they do anything.

[Hoops Czar]

The Spurs D-league talent is on full display for the whole world to see. If you think teams are lining up at the door to get their hands on De Colo, Bonner and CoJo, you've got another thing coming . LMAO if anybody thinks their going to net to a two way athlete.

[MR-Clutch]

Would Affalo be a viable trade target? The magic are rebuilding, and I don't think he's in their long-term plans, especially with Oladipo on the rise. Would Affalo be worth losing our cap space this summer? Could Bonner packaged with 2 guys out of Patty, Joseph, Ayers, and De Colo with picks, and a prospect like hanga or jean-charles get the job done?

[Hoops Czar]

I forgot all about Hanga and Jean-Charles. Drafting has been a flat out joke. They literally have nothing to show for the last four years.

There is no one out there that is available for what the Spurs have to offer that can come in and be the third offensive wheel. Besides, offense isn't the problem even without Ginobili and at this point everyone should move forward with the expectation that he will contribute very little going forward.

As many have said in the off-season and to this point, the answer is and has been to run the offense through Leonard more. A big reason why the Spurs lost against the Heat was because Leonard couldn't consistently attack his mismatch when James switched onto Parker as they got away with Mike Miller and Mario Chalmers guarding him.

, I wouldn't even mind even run plays to initiate the offense through Green and Splitter, just to give defenses a different look. And they'll have to be comfortable when they're asked to do this because elite defenses will inevitably lock on to our key players late in a playoff series.I think most of came into this season with that expectation but that hasn't been the case thus far even before the injuries.

Just Leonard to show, the others though naw......
