2016 NBA Trade Deadline

[ace3g]

The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 18.

[Nathan89]

Trade Patty.

[lmbebo]

I'm guessing spurs look at the buy out market after trade line. Maybe Joe Johnson from Nyets.

[SAGirl]

Man with Tim's knee bummer news... this season took a different turn for me.

Or Hibbert if Tims knee issue is bigger than we think?

[dunkman]

The Spurs seldom move important players mid-season, Pop believes in corporate knowledge. It usually takes more then a season for a player to produce for the Spurs. Only very high bball IQ players get to produce during the first season.

[SpurPadre]

Has anyone referenced today's Yahoo article that suggested we go after Joe Johnson if he goes through waivers on March?

[ace3g]

Beli? 3s, passing, cuts

[Uriel]

I suspect part of the reason for the increased minutes to Kyle Anderson, Jonathan Simmons, and Rasual Butler in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline is so that Pop can showcase them in order to make them more attractive assets in trade negotiations.

[Kikoluna]

Blake Griffin for Aldridge would be sweet but unlikely.
I'm sensing a trade coming. I agree with the notion that Kyle is being showcased. Somebody like Tysons chandler would be nice.

I'd be ok with that.

This. I would be really shocked if the Spurs make a move this season. Even with Tim's knee issue. IMO, zero trades.

There aren't assets you trade consider the salaries are at the bottom. Also, nobody is going to trade any of their potential stars that are on rookie salaries.

The guys that get traded are folks with expensive contracts.

yeeeh. Drop Bonner. Boom. Except Doc Rivers will promise him a starting role and then not play him. Cough* granger.

Too bad Chandler's contract is awful, otherwise he'd be a great addition. The only way he becomes a Spur is if he's bought out. It's hard to see the Suns buying him out during the first year of a 4 year $52 million contract.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Nobody's getting traded. Seriously, who are the Spurs going get that is so much better than KA, Simmons, Mills considering their salaries. Just other rookie contract players that teams AREN'T going to be trading.

Simmons 562K
KA 1.1mil
Mills 3.2mil
Butler 1.5mil
Ray 1.2mil

7.5 mil in salaries for those players. This couldn't even net the Spurs Chandler in a trade. Considering how much each contributes, they ALL are worth more than their salaries. These 5 players combined are making as much as Cojo. Just think about that.

You also left off Boban at 1.2 mil. We have an amazing front office.

I know. Look how much those guys contribute and their salaries. And LMA is finally getting comfortable in the Spurs system. Finding his sweet spots without disrupting the flow of the Spurs offense. Last night, you started to see the past couple of weeks starting to payoff. Spurs weather the storm by the Magic and still made the game a semi blowout last night.

I really don't see the Spurs trading anyone at this point.

We got to see Duncan sit for even more games until the bigs start learning to communicate in defense and work with the offense.

I don't see the Spurs trading anyone either. If anything they will sign someone for the d-league or trade overseas assets for other considerations. Sure the team is not flawless, but we are 40-8! Second best record in the NBA by 4 games. Second in the West by 5.

Keeping with your comparison, I added 4 more players to the total salary.

Simmons 562K
KA 1.1mil
Mills 3.2mil
Butler 1.5mil

Add in -
TD 5mil
Manu 2.8mil
West 1.5mil
Boban 1.2

9 spurs players make 18mil total.
Joe Johnson makes 18mil.
Kobe Bryant makes 25mil.

[BatManu20]

The trade winds will come and go, and ST will be left very disappointed, as they are every year.

I would like to see a bigger point guard to replace McCallum. If that can be arranged then that would be a plus.

One thing's for sure, if there's going to be a trade, we'll be the last ones to know about it in the same way that Spurs fans were completely blindsided by the Malik Rose-Nazr Mohammad trade in 2005.

Our biggest needs are a larger combo guard and a big to at least temporarily fill-in for Tim. How does an antique chucker help us?

[look_at_g_shred]

Need a shot blocker / rebounder off the bench. Amundson anyone??
