Amico: Spurs would love to land Ilyasova or Thaddeus Young

[Spur|n|Austin]

Young would be awesome, Illyasova would be pointless. I'd rather the Spurs have Bonner than Illyasova.

Agreed. I'll continue thinking that we can't land Young with hopes of being shocked with good news.

Saying Jeff Ayres is a bigger better Malik Rose is far more comical, tbh.

Never said a better Malik Rose. Said he was Malik Rose 2.0 and that will prove out. Just because you basement dwelling dumb s have the patience of a ing humming bird.

Ayers is a better bigger Malik Rose. Been saying this for a while. Really really excited about this kid. When Diaw goes back to soft offensively, I'd play him down the stretch in smaller situations. Great rebounder.

Uh yeah you did.

Lets be clear. Adding Ilyasova and Neal will *not* catapult the Spurs' chances this season at all. It will at best be a lateral entry with some safeguards for the future if Diaw leaves. Thats all.

wrong, it's insurance against a (very) possible injury to our fragile frontline (Diaw, Splitter, Duncan)

seeing that Ayers has the NBA talent of a ballboy, I say getting a bigman is a must IMO

Anything that can slighty increase rotation and overall talent this team have is good trade. This team do not need a catapult, they are still in the mix.

I'd go with Young because a) he would be more suited vs Miami ...b) he has some ability to go off the dribble/attack the basket...c) has more of a back to the basket game; and I'm hoping in the playoffs that is when Pop will unveil "Operation Post-up" and expand the offense for Kawhi in that area, along with Diaw and possibly Young.

Good God, that terrible Ayres>Rose comparison. So foul.

[objective]

here's a terrible nj.com piece that's built off of Amico's garbage. the writer laughably speculates about a trade for Thaddeus Young

http://www.nj.com/sixers/index.ssf/2...antonio_g.html

One possibility is a package of Boris Diaw and Kawhi Leonard for Young. Giving up Leonard is likely a long shot for the Spurs, but you have to give to get, and Leonard is the only young, valuable player on the Spurs roster. There have also been some rumblings that the Spurs would be willing to move Leonard, if the right deal came along.

[slick'81]

Lol Leonard for young

[cd98]

Lol Leonard for young

No Leonard and Diaw for Young.

[slick'81]

No Leonard and Diaw for Young.

Even more lol

[xellos88330]

I wouldn't mind Ilyasova if it was for scrap pieces. Then again.... that is why I am not a GM. :P

[TheGoldStandard]

I think he meant Malik rose was playing today.

@ that NJ report

That's what happens when someone writes garbage based on garbage.

There's absolutely nothing on that 76ers roster that I'd consider trading Leonard for.

[Chomag]

yeah that trade rumor of KL for Young is freaking garbage. Young would be nice to have but he is not near as good a KL and would be stupid to give up for him.

not even MCW!?

MCW + Noel =

[Kidd K]

I'd do it in a heartbeat. Neal is underrated here and somehow Beli and Mills are overrated...

Neal is a better passer than Mills and arguably a better shooter than Beli. Neither are plus defenders...

Yet Neal is the worst player of those three. I don't think Neal is underrated either. All he could do was shoot. He was great that, but what else did he do besides be the biggest hole in our defense every second he was on the floor?

I still remember the game where Neal put in like 18 in the 4th and everyone was all over his nuts for winning the game. . .yet having watched it, Neal got scored on and gave up nearly 18 during the same quarter. So even in Neal's supposed greatest moment, he was still getting crushed on D and negating most of his makes with said poor defense.

Mills on the other hand can also shoot. . .plays better D, handles the ball much better, passes much better. Belinelli just won the 3pt contest so obviously he's a good shooter too. What does Neal have that they don't besides being able to make crazy Kobe-esque 3pt shot jacks? Shots that tbh we don't want anyone taking anyway.

[weeks]

this neal vs belli garbage is just that.
pretending they're equal, belli is taller. i'll take him.
he won the damn 3pt contest! wtf did neal do?

[DPG21920]

I am shocked that Philly is struggling to get a first rounder for their assets (especially Young). I cant imagine SA being unwilling to give up their 1st rounder.

[DMC]

Amico said few days ago that Leonard could be traded which sounds a lot like pure BS so I would be careful with what he said.

Saying that, both Ilyasova and Young would makes sense for Spurs. I would likely go with Ilyasova: better contract, better rebounder, better shooter and will cost less assets to get.

Leonard is overrated. I don't believe he will ever be much more than he is now, which is a good defender and ok scorer, but nothing to build your franchise around despite Pop's sentiment.

[Chinook]

No Leonard and Diaw for Young.

That's almost as bad as Leonard and Diaw for Shumpert.
