I would rather lose Diaw than Mills honestly.
And Mills on the Cavs would be scary!
Mills on the Cavs would be a nightmare with Lebron driving and dishing.
And I would drive to SA and kick RC in his ing sack if he trades Diaw.

Mills and Tiago or Diaw to the Cavs makes them a very, very scary team next year tbh.
Diaw will work on his threes this offseason
Also alridge hits corner threes
Diaw is not tradable he only stays in shape for spurs
ugh, big fan of diaw and mills... diaw is more valuable. but man, mills can light it up!
Danny Green on the Cavs this year, LeBron beats the Warriors.
Why would the spurs salary dump tiago to the Cavs? Is that really the best deal? Wouldn't they need to sweeten the deal ? Maybe this is just a threat to Portland that they can't scuttle the spurs by raising the sign and trade.
Yea.. Wish it was Joseph though lol
Same... Not to mention he's a uva teammate (talking Mills)
Who says that it's Tiago and someone else..what if it's just him
I don't think the Spurs would take the contract themselves. They probably want to have Cleveland trade it directly to Portland along with Reggie Williams and some incentives. Wouldn't love the deal, but if the Spurs could get LMA and stay over the cap with only losing Diaw, Mills and Williams, it's not a horrible trade-off, though it would make stashing their first-rounder look even worse.
who the is B Hayward?? yeah that sounds legit
It's not Tiago at all. The Cavs have two centers in their rotation, Thompson, who's just a short center and want to play small as it is. It'd be for Diaw and potentially Patty, which is a better solution for the Spurs anyway. Maybe Christmas and a 2018 first as incentive.
Tons of cap space, even if Monroe is renounced. Drummond will get paid after this season, so now is the time for them to load up.
SVG did a great job at managing their cap situation. Given rising cap, $5.4mm of dead money each year to Josh Smith isn't all that bad.
So in this scenario, would it be easier to keep Green?
That's not the point which I am sure you realize. Would you rather have Splitter + Mills or Aldridge + Green? That may be what we are coming down to here.
Straight up all along this has primarily been about swapping Splitter for Aldridge I thought. While the Spurs could somehow work out a way to bring everyone back and add Aldridge it appears (aside from Bellinelli I suppose), that seems to be a longshot.
I've been in the camp that Splitter is the most expendable all along since Aldridge would eat his minutes anyway. I am kind of indifferent between losing Splitter or Diaw, though I have a slight preference for keeping Diaw. He's more versatile and when he's on (not often enough last year) can be a real handful for teams inside.
When it comes down to worry about losing either one of Splitter or Diaw to gain Aldridge, that's a no brainer not to be worried about due to the net gain.
In like 95 percent of scenarios, it's just as easy to keep Green. The Spurs will just have to not want him for him to not be a Spur in 2015-2016.
I mean, I'd do that trade easily if it meant the Spurs bringing in Aldridge and keeping Green. Just pointing out that Mills/Splitter makes Cleveland very good and even more of a virtual lock for the Finals next year.
if we trade diaw/mills instead of splitter/mills, isn't that just less we could offer to LMA?
If Anderson could be the Diaw replacement (gradually increasing role next few years) that could work out I suppose.
I will add via edit that if we kept Splitter and added Aldridge there is still a lot to like there. We are essentially then just swapping out Baynes for Aldridge at the cost of Anderson replacing the Diaw role. Then we still have Splitter around to make sure Tim doesn't have to log excessive minutes at center.
If we trade diaw and mills, does anyone think we might still trade tiago? Tiago is too good to be benched and he can help keep Duncan's minutes down but If I got the right offer for splitter I might think about it. Still-Duncan and lma is a pretty thin frontcourt..
You don't know that, as the Cavs might not be the final destination on such a trade.
You're right.
Damn no more details yet? Assholes lol
