just keep cojo then renounce him end of the season
Cojo has been groomed for years. He's got playoff experience, even a very nice highlight. 2 time finals and 1 time champ. He's clearly worthy of a role that kinda pays and definitely plays. He's not Matt Bonner. The spurs have Mills and Parker, plus Beli and Manu. An extra twolves pick, and/or a fresh rookie contract athletic point like Anderson's former point aren't absurd, imo.
Yes, a first round pick or Lavine for Joseph are completely absurd notions. I like Cory more than most here, but he's not bringing anywhere near that sort of return in a trade.
Mills is here to stay. Joseph is promising. The thing with Joseph is that if he is going to do well, he will get a better contract somewhere rather than be Parker's backup's backup. And he is doing well this year. Solid PG play and good inside game.
I think joseph and lavine is a near even swap. But if the spurs had to sweeten, at all. Throw in a 15 or 16 2nd, done deal. Spurs don't have to worry about point guard for 3 years. Maybe more, depending on how lavines apprentice ship would go.
Not even close, and adding a late second round pick won't make it any closer.
Lavine might not even turn out. Crazy athlete, but mostly generic mini-westbrook. Joseph is guaranteed defense. He's been sippin championship koolaid for as long as an under 25 player can possibly sip. He's got the Toronto connection with 2 of the wolves big names. Rubio doesn't have the kindest injury history, iirc. The twolves don't have to tank, if they added joseph.
I'd throw in the 1st to lock down point for the foreseeable future. And reunite Anderson with a player who can boost boths development.
Mills might be, but since the day CoJo has been on this roster, I've been asking and begging for an upgrade. He cannot shoot to save his life, and defense aside he's a scrub. Even a second round pick point guard would be an upgrade over him.
I have never ever been a fan of Cojo in the past, but he is clearly improving every game now. Still don't see him as a first string pg in the NBA, but could sure see him as a back-up permanently if he continues to improve as he has over the start of this season. He is now as good as George Hill was when he left, imo.
I could see a second unit with Cojo as the pg and Mills as the sg, but that is about it...Only second squad capabilities for either of them.
CoJo is beasting. Credit to Becky Hammon.
