Official Trade/Signing Ideas Thread

[cd021]

I would love to trade Nando and bonner for Neal and Middleton. Neal is an upgrade over Nando and Middleton would be a good back up to kawhi.

Neal? He's been replaced twice over with Mills and Belinelli.

[Chinook]

I think OKC is targeting Afflalo tbh. Not sure how realistic that is.

I don't see them taking on long-term money. They'd be very close to the tax next season, with only nine players under contract.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Udrih is secretly Pop's and RC's new centerpiece, tbh.

Sigh.

I wish Kawhi had turned out to be a franchise player. Things would be different. We wouldn't be in this damned holding pattern of just waiting to die.

[szkorhetz]

The defending Western Conference champion Spurs offered point guard Beno Udrih a chance to return to San Antonio this summer, but he declined, signing a free-agent deal instead with the Knicks.

Now that Mike Woodson has banished Udrih and he has asked for a trade, the Spurs might be a candidate for the Slovenian point guard who has two rings from his time in San Antonio.

Former Knicks general manager Scott Layden, now in the front office of San Antonio, was at Wednesday’s game scouting the Knicks.

Rudy Fernandez seems to be on the OKC radar.

Take a chance on Boozer....ouch...maybe, when playing well and healthy. Still no shot blocking.

Pop is ready to go all in and trade for the player with the highest upside.

[Bruno]

What has hurt OKC these past few years has been their ownership cheapness. It especially cost them Harden.

Now, if OKC is ready to pay some luxury tax and if they can get a good wing for their TE/picks, it will suck for Spurs. It will also mean that they will play a lot with Durant at PF. Without an additional SF, Spurs aren't well armed to face that matchup.

[Chillen]

Spurs should see if Lakers would do Matt Bonner, 2nd rd pick for Chris Kaman, I like the way he played last night against OKC.

[Andthentherewas21]

That would make sense. They could move Thabeet and Thabo ( and probably their 1st rounder) for Wilson Chandler. OKC would still be under the luxury tax too. Denver gets a 2nd 1st rounder and has a replacement 3 that is on an expiring contract. Thabeet's contract isn't guaranteed next season, so they could just be done with him.

If Denver was willing to do that, then they would be more willing to do a trade with the Spurs. Spurs can offer the same cap relief through expiring contracts, plus their pick is going to be hiring in the upcoming draft.

I'd like that.

[monkeypunk]

No, just no. Didn't we learn our lesson with Beno the first time? He's fat lazy and plays no D. Why in the world would we want him back?

Beno is no bueno!

It depends on whether they like Thabo and believe he could be could be resigned cheaply enough. They may not concede the playoffs by the 20th so this move would give them a competent stop gap. The Spurs deal would save them cash but they'd take a bigger hit in terms of talent.

Expirings aren't half bad if they can net you something like this. How many firsts would we have to include to make that work? Philly probably would want two of ours plus one from Charlotte (I'd consider it in a heartbeat to get Young though)

[cd021]

Bonner & pick for Wesley johnson

bonner, de colo, pick for Jason thompson

Not really much to work with on our side

2nd round picks, I'd assume.

The Kings would save $19 million in cash over the next 3 seasons. By doing that deal.

[Baam]

Something that hasn't been brought up is that the Spurs may have been scouting the Kings and not the Knicks in that game...

Random idea :

McLemore + Landry for Beli + Bonbon + first

Landry's contract is terrible so we offer cap relief, a creator having his best year (they only have I. Thomas right now) and a pick.

We get lottery talent/athleticism at the 2 for the post Manu era and get another big to play "small" :
C : Tim Tiago
PF : Boris Landry

I agree that it would be a bigger hit in terms of talent for this current season. That being said, if Den trades Chandler it is because they have given up on this season and are trying to get the best value in terms of the future. Gallo is out, Lawson is injured with a broken rib, Mcgee hasn't matured at all, and Miller is a $6 million dollar cancer. If they are high on Thabo they could still get him in FA, its not like they would extend him this season. By trading with the Spurs they get a better pick than what OKC has to offer.

All that being said, I think Den would be looking for more than a late first rounder for Chandler and in that respect OKC has more assets available to sweeten a potential deal than the Spurs

I'd say one from each with perhaps another piece coming from the Spurs like the rights to an international player.

I would love this trade but...

Yeah, right. McLemore will possibly be a a top 5 SG in 5 years. He is a mix of Ray Allen and the young Jason Richardson. I doubt they would move him, even if we would offer Leonard.

[TheGoldStandard]

Sources close to the Spurs have suggested that Jim Boylen is working close with RC Buford on possible trades.

Not sure this is such a great idea as Jim Boylen is responsible for Jeff Ayers.
