Marc Gasol will possibly miss the remainder of the season with a broken foot.
I can easily see Memphis blow the team up.
If the Bucks succeed in moving MCW, do you also expect them to buy out Vasquez? I haven't seen him play enough but his 3pt % and PER are not really great. Don't really see that we would have a lot of interest. Good size, but poor shooter it seems. Don't think I would be willing to get rid of either McCallum or Bonner for him - unless Bonner really is done.
I think it's more likely they buy out Vazquez if they don't move MCW.
I called it tbh

Enjoy some peace and calm until tomorrow morning when you will hear a 100 trade rumors lol.. #nbatradedeadline
Just randomly saw this tonight on twitter. It had my curiosity until I clicked the link. Doesn't mention "according to sources" or anything along those lines.
Spurs going with the Parker, Leonard, Horford, Aldridge, Duncan mega size team - I don't think so.
it would make sense if the Timmy knee issue is old age and not going away. It would mean Timmy is retiring for sure. I will leave others to sort this out bc I am not great with contract issues at all. Danny must f or sure be coveted now that he found his groove back.
Won't put any stock into this. Site is based off of utilizing the ESPN Trade Machine.
No chance. Atlanta would get much better offers for him.
And even if they didn't, I'm not exactly sure this is a good trade for the Spurs. The frontline is already the best frontcourt in the NBA; no need to inflate it further, especially if it comes at the expense of our starting SG.
Spurs would bite their hands off on something like Horford + Korver for Danny Green + Boris + picks, if only for the talent upgrade, however, a team like Boston could easily outbid the Spurs.
Does not make sense since Green has a no-trade clause.
I would trade Aldridge for Horford and Korver. Spurs need a quicker center.
From what I've been reading, Boston is trying to low-ball the out of Atlanta right now. They don't even want to give up Jae Crowder for him. And all three of the Brooklyn picks are off the table. As I mentioned before, it seems like Horford's value is depressed enough to where the Spurs are going to be able to make a compe ive offer if they so choose.
That said, they shouldn't offer any starter for Horford. He's not an upgrade to the team if they just create another hole. That's even more true when you consider that Horford is probably not going to help them get over the hump against Golden State. You don't trade your best guard defender for a big when you're already going to have to play small. That just doesn't make sense. And the Spurs haven't been a team that trades production/chemistry for talent. Add in the fact that Horford would probably take too long to integrate, and I see this as an off-season move at best.
You MFer.
if they are stupid enough to take Green for Horford, why not just try and get him for Bonner.@ this trade. The Spurs don't need bigs, but they do need a bigger PG.
I agree with everything about fit, timing, etc. It's true of course, however, in my opinion the talent upgrade would be too significant for the Spurs to pass on such a trade. They'd obviously be confident of re-signing him if they pull the trigger. 2017 cap space spent a year earlier, in a sense. They've done that.
Ainge is smart though, he's not going to lowball himself out of Horford's sweepstakes. He's doing it because he knows he's in pole position, but on trade deadline day I'm sure he'd be OK giving them a compe ive offer to get it done. In any case whatever Atlanta get it'd be 50 cents on the dollar anyway.
Is Danny hopeless already?
It wouldn't be too significant. It would concede this year to the Warriors while leaving them with the MLE to replace their starting two. The Spurs are good enough to win a championship this year; you don't waste Tim's last chance(s) for Hoford. And the point of 2017 cap space is to add to their core. Swapping out Green for Horford is limiting their flexibility, not expanding it.
Ainge has had some terrific assets over the recent years, and he still has nothing to show for them other than some good-but-not-great players. I don't know that he would be willing to part with the premium assets for Horford, and I don't even know if he should. Atlanta doesn't want to tank; they has the second-longest playoff streak in the league and want to maintain that. So they want actual rotation guys for Al. It might not make sense for Boston to offer guys like Bradley and Crowder if they don't think they can replace them, because Horford may not want to stay on a roster that doesn't have good talent. The Brooklyn picks are valuable enough, but the Hawks are pretty bad at drafting, so I could see them not wanting those too badly.Ainge is smart though, he's not going to lowball himself out of Horford's sweepstakes.

I agree we shouldn't do this. (If its still there in the summer that could be different). If the Spurs were seriously considering it, I would think that means 1) Timmy is done. 2) They think Simmons is ready for a bigger role.
Probably just a baseless rumor. Or RC being polite enough to take Bud's calls.
Baseless rumour but the Spurs would do that in a heartbeat. Simmons and Butler are doing ok to play at SG instead of Danny.
This is possibly Tim's last season, or if he plays next year he'll play all games and probably only 15mins per game in the games he actually does play. Imagine a prime Leonard, Aldridge and Horford front court, watch out NBA for years to come!
If you can steal a player like Horford for Green you do it immediately and work the rest of the roster out as best you can. Oh and the Hawks have a descent front office, no way they do this.
Baseless rumor
1. Hawks can do better
2. Simmons not ready (love em but not quite there yet)
And maybe it's me, but not a big Horford fan don't think he adds a lot to the team...
