As bad as Daye has been this year...he's still a young player. No way the Spurs would even consider dumping Daye for a dude who has 1-2 years left in the league.

Nets are going to cut him free one way or another. We went hard for him only a year ago, but he looks washed up and must have "issues."
Is he worth dumping Austin Daye for?

no too soft
No, he's not Spurs material.
What? If what it takes to get AK is only this ing scrub, SA would say yes and no takebacks.
SA should really consider it. Not only AK would be a great backup for Leonard, but he is also a great small-ball PF. High BBIQ player and good defensively. I see this as a great opportunity quite honestly.
I'll agree that AK47 would be an upgrade to Daye ( ....who in the NBA wouldn't)....but it's never going to happen.
Never......
it was slightly over a year ago when some peeps here thought he was the Spurs' savior, crofl
This dude is washed up and hurt all the time. He only played 45 games last season.
him. He had a chance to come over and he blew it. And again, NO. MORE. OLD. S.

Not happening regardless, imo.
He's about to turn 34 and his #'s & PER are atrocious. Guy is washed up.
this old .
Same goes for Danny Granger and Caron Butler, too. ers thought they were too cool for us. Well you know what? NO RINGS FOR YOU OLD ASS, WASHED UP, MOTHER ERS!!!! LOL.
Still think he could potentially provide some value for us and if he really is done (he never got a chance in Brooklyn) then fine, it's no big deal if Splitter returns strong but teams like Rockets and Clippers (Portland maybe?) would love him I think and for them potentially he could really improve some weaknesses which we could do without.
If he was healthy I'd still take him.
People that like to scoff takes always take things out of context. Sometimes, even guys with flaws, are worth the gambles - especially for certain prices. There is no denying, that at AK's price he accepted, that his upside was too good of a fit to not want to obtain. Even with a strong likelihood that he may be washed up.
Anyways, if he's traded, he will likely be bought out and if the Spurs want him they can have a shot at getting him then perhaps. Or if they are willing to put in a pick of some sort with add money added to BKY, they may be able to trade for him straight up.
No offense, but I thought that some of my Spurs fellows were smarter tbh
His PER or his stats right now mean nothing. Just because his move to BK didn't work out as everyone thought, It doesn't mean that he wouldn't be able to fit in San Antonio in a lesser role, especially considering the scrubs that SA has right now to fill that hole.
Before coming to SA, Diaw was putting 7ppg/5rpg @ 10 PER and 46%TS. So what? He was still a good player in a bad situation, just like AK right now.
AK is still a good player. He wouldn't be here to get a starting job. He would be Leonard's insurance and a front-court option in the playoffs besides Duncan/Splitter/Diaw
It's a great opportunity to get a good and proven player for cheap. If SA could land him for cheap, I would absolutely love it.

Even finished, he's probably much better than Daye.
He'd be worth having, and might not be as finished as he looks in Brooklyn.
If Brooklyn would take Daye and Ayres for him, then there's very little risk or cost associated with acquiring him.
That idea was suggested in the Think Tank a few days ago:

True. They wanted the FO to create cap space to offer AK47 a contract larger than the MLE. Bruno didn't like it when I said that such a move would be similar to acquiring RJ and that the FO had learned their lesson.
Then they were mad at the FO and Manu when the details of Manu's deal were released and killed any realistic chance of getting Kirilenko.
As someone else brought up earlier, Diaw was playing like in Charlotte before coming here as well. I wouldn't completely write off Kirilenko just because he hasn't had a good stint with Brooklyn. I know people overrate the Spurs' system (some people act like anyone can come in here and become a fantastic role player), but I think AK would fit in well.
I wouldn't mind getting him for cheap. I'd take him over Daye personally. The only thing that would make me hesitant would be his ability to stay healthy, but with the role we'd be asking him to fill, I don't think it'd be much of a risk tbh. At worst it's a waste of a roster spot (Daye/Ayres aren't much better), and at best he'd be a legitimate backup SF who could give us ~15 quality minutes a game.
