2015 NBA Trade Deadline

[Mel_13]

I disagree. Lots of folks would want to take a risk on Parker. He would be a great triangle offense PG for e.g. and will be a great fit in NY.

Methinks, when he gets better health-wise, he will have a productive year or two for the Spurs. Waste of time thinking of a trade this season. Offseason, if opportunities present itself (and Manu/TD retire), perhaps.

Pop's not shipping Tony out midseason, especially to an NBA purgatory like Sactown.

thinking Parker is going to be traded

[Mel_13]

The place the Spurs might make a significant move is after the trade deadline and all of the buyouts occur. The Spurs have the full MLE available for the right candidate which is more than any other contender, I believe. The Spurs could look very attractive to a veteran who can also make the most money here. If they don't like the menu then they just stay with home cooking.

They used about 2.1M of the MLE to sign Baynes. They have about 3.2M remaining.

I mentioned earlier that Parker for Knicks lottery pick (not if if falls in the top 3) and Calderon. It would have to happen during the draft because the Knicks traded their pick last season.

We'd get a lottery pick and a 3rd PG. After after next season, Calderon will become a expiring contract with a $11.1 million trade value. They'd acquire Parker for only $3.5 million more than Calderon + their lottery pick would have cost. The Knicks would still have $23 million to spend after the trade (including roster charges for having only 4 players under contract)

That trade would actually have to happen after July 1st. What NY did with last year's pick doesn't matter. The rule is that you can't trade first round picks in consecutive future drafts. It would have to happen after July 1st because you describe a trade which requires that NY have cap space to absorb the difference in salaries. They won't have that cap space until after July 1st. They could agree to the deal before the draft and NY could draft a player of San Antonio's choosing to be traded in July.

I know that you know the rule, but the way you worded it could be seen the wrong way. A team can trade their 1st-rounder every year, as long as they have a 1st-round pick for the next year. A better way to say it is: a team cannot make a trade that leaves them without any 1st-round draft picks in two consecutive future years.

I'm all for clarity.

If the Spurs trade Parker, I'll kill myself and die happy, tbh..

Now who are they going to get in return that is going to help them at all? Parker is a vet now with miles on those legs, what they get in return will not be worth his value at all.

[100%duncan]

Did someone actually say that Deron Williams is better than Tony Parker? Holy ing , I've seen the stupidest of them all.

Nuggets allegedly hot to trade for a 'star player'

Parker for Lawson straight up works for me, I'm sure Shaw would love to have a 'star' veteran like Parker.

, I'd throw in LJC and the 2015 first rounder to get it done.

Knicks looking to buyout Bargnani, Stoudemire unsure about situation...

If RC couldn't pull off a noteworthy trade last year when the Spurs were reported to be "active" in trade discussions, how much less so this year, when this exact same roster won the NBA championship?

The more the talk of them moving someone the less likely it happens. That's usually the trend with the Spurs FO for quite a while now.

“For us to be open to improving the group and adding more depth, with Thabo healthy or without Thabo healthy or without Thabo having this injury, it’s kind of the same mindset,” coach Mike Budenolzer said. “We really like our group. You are hesitant to do anything. There is a little more opportunity for a six- to eight-week window but I don’t think it changes much if at all.”

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[cd021]

Branden Bass
Amare Stoudimire
Kevin Garnett
Andrea Bargnani

all are possible buyout candidates. Garnett doesn't seem like he wants out but he there is still a chance he gets brought out. I think the Celtics would buyout Bass if they can't find a taker at the deadline.

[look_at_g_shred]

Al Harrington anyone?

[Mel_13]

[Robz4000]

Feel bad for Neal. Wonder if there's any chance he gets bought out?
