no to Hibbert.
Indiana is looking at moving the #11...something based around Splitter and #26 plus a euro or another pick for Hibbert and the #11? Indiana hangs up the phone?
no to Hibbert.
I know #11 is probably a little to high for Splitter, like AFB said, more realistically something around 14-16 is his value, but the only team I can think of would be Phoenix at #13.
Hes an expiring contract and would give us huge cap room next summer. I'm not doing the trade for Hibbert, its for the #11, gotta give to get. We would be getting out of Splitters extra year.
I doubt Indiana let's us bend them over again.
I think the Pacers would take that deal. Getting out from under Hibbert's contract and getting a decent piece in return is probably worth the 11th pick.
Not sure the Spurs would make that offer though. They'd effectively be eating up cap space to go after Aldridge/Gasol and be settling for Hibbert before free agency even begins.
Yes - ATL could (at least with relative ease if they wanted to)
Parker sleeps with Hibberts wife and has a renaissance season
Splitter's contract is longer than Hibberts so they wouldn't really be getting out from Hibberts deal. Hibbert has a player option this year (very likely opts in), but Splitter's deal is an extra year. Splitter is definitely better than Hibbert, but I don't think he's so much better they would give a lottery pick just to swap them.
Thanks.
Sounds like Nance is a stretch 4 or a big 3, about 6'9 with a 7'2 wingspan and 37.5 max vert.
DX has him at 56 to NOP (updated today)
All the above trade scenarios are unrealistic, imo. I don't think a team is going to trade a Top-15 pick in a good draft for a 30-year old Splitter who's still owed almost $17 Million, tbh. Unless the spurs take on a horrendous contract in the process, I just don't see it. The aforementioned Pacers option is the only semi-realistic option to me. Hibbert's contract, while only 1-year, is still a bad one to take on because he's owed almost $16 Million. But, I'm almost certain the Spurs aren't going to sign either Aldridge or Gasol, so that might be a decent option if the opportunity presented itself. I still don't think the Pacers would do it, because the #11 pick holds a lot of value in this draft, and a 30-year old Splitter doesn't fit what the Pacers are trying to do, which is play a more uptempo, up-and-down style of basketball.
Didnt watch any Wyoming this season but he sounds like he would give everything for a shot.
This would be great, because he's not currently projected to go in the top-25 of most mock drafts, so him going in the teens or early 20's would push another higher-rated player down to us.
Pretty amazing quote by Dirk:
Speaking of Tyson Chandler, would people feel comfortable moving Tiago if Spurs could land Tyson in FA to replace him?
Definitely. I'm not sure how that would work with acquiring a big free agent, but Chandler always struck me as someone who could fit right in at Splitter's role.
I'd like to see us trade splitter and deshaun thomas to boston for picks 28 and 35.
Then draft
1. Rashaun Vaughn 6'5" SG- can replace Belinelli the first year as a third SG. At only 18 he might still grow some too. Very good offensively and willing defender.
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...-Vaughn-71472/
1. Nikola Milutinov 7' C- another young (20) player to develop. Has good size and athleticism. Can back up center with Baynes.
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...ilutinov-7116/
2. Olivier Hanlan 6'4" PG- an intriguing PG prospect out of BC. Can be the '3rd guy behind Parker and mills.
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...-Hanlan-47653/
2. Stash prospect
FA
lamarcus Aldridge with splitter off the books and green not resigned we can throw money at him. I also think Manu comes back at a reduced price.
Alexy Shved a Manu type player. A SG that can handle the ball and run the offense. I think he starts the first year. Then gives way to Vaughan and takes ginobli spot off the bench.
PG- Parker, Mills, Hanlan
SG- Shved, Manu, Vaughan
SF- Leonard, Anderson
PF- Aldridge, Diaw, livio
C- Duncan, Baynes, Milutinov
So Leonard is going to have to cover 3 spots on defense to make up for shved and Parker not being defensive players?
Times ten.......
Chandler is looking at getting a 3 year $36 mil deal, I doubt the Spurs would go that high or that many years.
I'm not gonna lie, i like the end result kind of. While I think we could get more for splitter than the 28th pick and 35th. Maybe their 16th pick instead. That would put us in position to catch a talent that falls. I just wonder, who might the Spurs be interested in that might fall, cause I believe for the right price we would give up Splitter. I just think we would have to get a big in return. That would be a bold move. Two picks for Splitter. They would be swinging for the fences and hoping to land Aldridge. I like it.
Speaking of names of people that might fall in the draft, here's my names to watch:
Oubre
Dekker
Tyus Jones
Looney
These guys might not fall to 26, some obviously...
Now if these guys fell out of the lottery would they be worth trading up for?
Kaminsky
Turner
Lyles
Spurs either keep 26 or trade down to early 2nd round.
Aldridge doesn't come here Spurs will keep Green.. Starting lineup Parker, Green, Kawhi, Tim, Tiago..
Manu, Mills, Diaw, Joseph, Either Corey Brewer or a recently bought out Matt Barnes for the backup wing, Anderson, Baynes
Spurs target Anderson, Nance Jr. , Holmes to fill out the 13th roster spot and they spend most of the season in Austin with the occasional call up
Maybe Speights if GS lets him walk or Bargnani for a stretch 4 (bonners role)
