But how about the rest of the cap space? Who would they spend it on? Why not LeBron..
Philadelphia will be a good trading partner with their redundant pieces like at F (Grant, Covington, Noel, and Thompson, eventually Saric). Just not sure how it would fit in a trade with Spurs.
I still think Teague would be best of all PG out there if they can pull a trade off. Maybe Parker can be a mentor for Schroder...who knows. It's a stretch though
Nah. Their fans on RealGM seem to love their pieces. They said they wouldn't trade Covington for Green straight up. I don't get it, you'd think if their roster were so good, and their coaching staff were so good, that they couldn't have possibly had the worst record in the league.
That said, I'd love to have Grant on the team. He's a combo-forward in a good way, a defensive presence that has a corner-three. He's not worth a big offer.
Could see Mills having some appeal to the Sixers provided they are keeping Brown. He'd be a good way to help turn around the culture, and his shooting would be greatly appreciated. Could see something around Mills for 26 or Mills and 29 for 24 and Grant being available, despite what their fans think.
I don`t think this trade should about acquiring talent. This trade should be about cleaning salary cup for signing talent.
Even if we assume the Spurs would all of a sudden become ruthless and willing to trade Parker to wherever for/into cap space it realistically won't happen until after the bigger FAs have signed and there are teams left with nothing but money to spend.
In order for the Spurs to be able to use cap space for a pitch at a max FA they'd have to trade Tony around the draft ( very few suitors ) or very early in free agency, like Tiago. I don't see why another team would pull the trigger so early.
Trading Kyle for a starting PG is worth it. I'm sorry your anger and ignorance is getting in the way of your rationale thought.
I'm not clear on what you mean with this post. Are you seriously comparing Claxton favorably over Parker? In any one year or over a career?Porker "knocked out" countless PGs while being a NET negative, Speedy Claxton is rolling over in his grave.
?You're giving too much credit to that 76ers mod that loves to play the "I'm Hinkie game" tbh.
76ers fans and Morey fanboys are the worst to discuss realistic trades there. You shouldn't even bother.
I will say that the Jazz fans on RealGM would definitely take Parker for free. So all this talk about the Spurs being stuck with Parker against their will is bogus. His contract (which seems to grow every day hearing how some people describe it) is not that bad. The Spurs aren't going to and shouldn't trade him if they aren't getting someone worth the money back.
Yeah, it's very insane over there. They think Covington is a high-lottery guy and Grant is a late first in terms of what it'd take to get them. That shocked the out of me, because Covington would get like 10mpg on the Spurs, and Grant wouldn't be a consistent rotation player. And they think those guys being signed four years with no RFA status is a good thing.
And their love for Hinkie... It's like they think there's only one good way to build a team, and that Hinkie was the only GM who knew what that was.
TP would actually be a great mentor for Exum. They're very similar (though Exum is way taller).
Exum is not much of a facilitator or a shooter but loves to attack the rim, his quickness is off the charts and he has a speedy 1st step. His main problem so far other than his injury is the fact that he is too timid, plays too passive. TP would definitely help in that regard.
Another team that I saw a lot of fans willing to take TP is the Knicks, especially if SA is willing to take Calderon back. I'd ask O'Quinn too and probably Grant as well.
New Orleans is a darkhorse candidate to trade for TP as well. Demps is desperate to change the culture and shake things up. They would consider TP + Diaw for Jrue and Tyreke. It saves them money this year and it gives the locker room something it hasn't had before.
I forgot the Quin Snyder connection.(The Jazz broadcasters were killing Tony during the most recent matchup & were saying Mack had the advantage
)
Here's an off-the-wall idea if we lose Manu and/or Tim and truly want to commit to a youth movement:
Tony Parker and Diaw to Philadelphia for Nerlens Noel and Dario Saric. Maybe throw in our pick or a prospect to sweeten the deal.
Spurs get a young stretch four and a defensive big to develop next to Aldridge.
If I'm the 76ers, I then offer Okafor to Boston for the number 3 pick and grab Buddy Hield. That makes Parker and Diaw the senior leaders of a team that has a starting lineup of Parker-Hield-Covington-Simmons-Embid.
Parker and Diaw get to stay together, Parker is the true "leader" of a young team, and the Colangelos get some foreign players (which they seem to love), Diaw (who they had in Phoenix), and a true PG.
Supposedly they want Jrue to be part of their core & he has good chemistry w/ AD but they were trying to dump Reke. Demps is another guy that has ties to the Spurs organization but I'm not sure Tony/Diaw fit the uptempo offense Gentry wants to run. Their owner wants to make the playoffs ASAP even w/ a mediocre roster & I'm not sure Tony can be your starting point guard for that job.
They will probably draft someone like Buddy & keep Jrue while shopping Tyreke expiring contract for a legit wing player like Rudy Gay. If they were going to move Jrue, they would probably tack on Asik's ty contract.
Some of these trade ideas are so ridiculous. No one is giving up a young player with any sort of flash of upside or talent for TP. No one. You might get a pick. You might get a player. You are certainly not getting anyone that is younger and clearly better than TP.
I agree a lot with this.
you're not giving Tony any credit for his mentoring ability
Based on my analysis, of his $15,000,000 salary, about $2,750,000 is attributable to his play.
So his mentor value is $12,250,000.
Not sure that his mentoring is worth $30 million over 2 years to other teams.
Well, that is unless SA fleeces someone. But that should not be expected.
No way we could get Jrue AND Tyreke. But if we could, we would be insane not to jump all over that deal.
You don't honestly believe that the best that the Sixers could get for Noel and Saric is Parker and Diaw do you? The Spurs are not their only potential trading partner.
If you can find a player producing 12pts (50%) and 5ast for that price...
Westbrick will fail him... Again
Oh I meant to put him behind Kawhi. Preach to him about being the greatest 6th man of all time and have the greatest bench in history.
