Korver would be incredible, but for what? Simmons and Slow Mo?
Hawks may entertain deals for Al Horford, Jeff Teague at deadline
I doubt if the Spurs do anything before the deadline, but with the connection to Coach Bud, maybe RC/Pop can swing a favorable deal for the Spurs. Which player(s), if any, do think would make good Spurs? Korver, Horford, Teague?

Didn't realize Korver was having such a lousy year, maybe the Spurs can pick him up cheap.
Yep, Korver would be my pick, but not sure what the Spurs have as far as truly tradeable assets to get him, especially compared to what other contenders might offer.
Thabo for Boner, we will need the extra wing defenders when the Warriors come around.
Teague won't play in the 2nd unit, I'd be concerned about Horford/Splitter injuries histories...a great 3's shooter like Korver is always welcome. But I wouldn't trade some of our guys for them so I agree with you, the Spurs won't make a move before the deadline.
This year: Korver
Post TD: Horford
The two teams aren't a good match. The Hawks have a bunch of mid-sized contracts (basically their entire rotation) while the Spurs have no expendable mid-sized deals. Unless the team can get Horford for a song, they isn't anything that could work out.
So like this: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=jgc9hft Plus three unprotected firsts by the Spurs. That doesn't address Manu retiring (and in fact only exacerbates it), but it does ensure the Spurs of having the best front court for a few more years.
I guess Bonner and Butler for Bazemore and Patterson would be interesting as well, though the Spurs will probably not be able to keep Kent. And if the Hawks want Boban in that proposed Horford swap, I'd change Simmons/Patterson with Marjanovic/Muscala
Bazemore is probably the best somewhat realistic guy we could get. Would be an upgrade over Simmons/Anderson in the short-term as the 4th wing.
I know he's 34 and getting to his twilight but Korver.
Didn't Korver have an elbow surgery in the offseason? Maybe that screwed up his shot.
i'd take korver. not giving up simmons though.
Korver is playing better lately. It'd be too difficult to get him with the contracts on the team.
Bazemore would be an awesome get though.
in order to do any deals with Atlanta that would move the needle, due to the contracts involved, we would need to move core players. Won't happen. Teague is a player I have liked up until this season; but he is not playing well. Korver has fallen off. Bazemore is another smallish wing - not really a 2. Unless we move a core big, we wouldn't be able to get Horford. Bringing in Horford for Diaw seems intriguing on paper not so much in reality when you think about having to integrate him AND Aldridge AND West (even Boban, to some extent). Schroder is not getting traded. Millsap is not going to get let go in a "fire sale." Don't see anything happening with Atlanta. With Danny rounding into form and Patty showing some signs of life, I prefer our core at this juncture. I'd like a bigger point guard or combo guard, but we will not trade anybody valuable enough to net us the "missing piece" to a championship.
I'd like to improve our roster, but with contracts and team chemistry and what not, that is fantasy league stuff at midseason. Oh yeah, we are also pretty darn good.
WHy on Earth would you want a 34 year old who is having a down year? That is typically when guys fall off cliffs.
FWIW the cap is projected to go up significantly next year.
Chinook again seems obtuse to this dynamic like last year.
I love these threads, they usually turn into "let's give them our crap for their All-Stars" type of deals.

I'd be surprised if Bud kept his job if he took a call from 210 area code. We raped that team with Splitter deal.
We gave Splitter to the Hawks to free dollars for LA, not sure what they lost outside of the money. At the time, it looked like a big win for the Hawks.
Horford is a pipe dream.
Would we have a shot at Bazemore? Maybe if there's a firesale. I like the guy. Could be a good backup SF for us.
Welp there goes my Millsap for Bonner post I was ready to type out.
I think if you can get Horford without moving the starters or Manu, you do it. It'll be so much easier to keep him than it would be to get him. And the Spurs would be able to keep their MLE/LLE. Only issue would be Duncan coming off the bench (because he WOULD be doing that in this scenario). That doesn't feel right, and it may not be the best thing for the team. But you do what you can to get Horford to re-sign, and LMA is probably the best overall player out of the three of them.
Parker, McCallum, Mack (could switch those two)
Green, Ginobili, Holiday
Leonard, Anderson, Butler
Aldridge, West, Bonner
Horford, Duncan, Boban
2016-2017:
Parker, Mack, min guy/rookie
Green, Holiday min guy/rookie
Leonard, Anderson, Bertans
Aldridge, West (hopefully), LJC
Horford, Boban, Lalanne
I think that's pretty good. The lack of protections on that 2020 pick would be scary, as who knows what will happen, but that's the risk that's necessary for the Hawks to pull the trigger.
Wouldn't even say he's a pipedream. I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs didn't even want him. But from what I'm hearing from other fans, he's probably not going to fetch a whole lot with his UFA status. So I think he'd be within the Spurs' possible striking distance if they do want to go big.
If it's for the minimum, why not?
(during the summer)
several interested teams really have the resources, no one is coming to SAS, lol Butler and Bonner to Korver and Bazemore
