I heard rumblings about Aldridge to the Spurs in January of 2015..... so, eh.... Maybe.
Well we heard rumors of Durant to SA in May and that pursuit was still alive and well going into July despite him picking GS so either you heard wrong or that person in the front office who said that is full of .
Durant was free agency, not trade.
That was free agency to. Anyway, just something I heard a while back. Times change, take it with a grain of salt.

Trades would have been made, to make room for him.
A trade was made to make room for him also, Splitter.
This isn't really a winning argument on your part.
Sure as is because we weren't getting Durant without trading away Green/Diaw to start, don't you agree?
You're off-topic. The quote you were refuting is that by the time you hear about trades, they're usually dead. No one leaked any rumors about trades for Green or Parker. So news about Durant's free agency doesn't have anything to do with what Russo was talking about.
There are only two ways it could be done:
1. Parker for Monroe
2. Green + Mills for Monroe
to either of these
not a fan, tbh. teams seem worse off with him and better off without him. Just look at what happened to Detroit after he left and Milwaukee when he arrived.
I doubt this is more than just a rumor but Spurs would look to obviously mentor Monroe, he would be the real TD replacement with his size, physicality. Obviously TD is unreplaceable, but he would be that guy if this happened.

Sounds like another Richard Jefferson trade
If a 3rd team is involved is it the same scenario?There are only two ways it could be done:
1. Parker for Monroe
2. Green + Mills for Monroe
I just don't see Parker or Mills being moved
Trade Parker. He's worth and will only get worse. Get rid of him now before he becomes the next Bonner.
that would be ing fantastic

Since everyone else is suggesting trades. Also, sign Ty Lawson and Thomas Robinson to round things out,
I don't think he Spurs regret Cojo at all. They could not afford him. They knew he was going to get paid and had to make some decisions and he just was not in the long term plans.
Monroe may not be the answer to the Spurs problems, but Monroe > Kyle. If the Spurs had to let Kyle go to get him then you do it. Kyle is a fringe NBA player at this point.
That said, I wouldn't want Monroe for what it's going to cost. I'd rather live with Pau/LMA/Dedmon/vet min
I'd love to trade Parker, but not for the bigman version of Richard Jefferson who is making Kawhi level money.
Reminds me of several years ago, when there was a rumored Suns/Spurs trade** involving Amare for Blair and George Hill. At the time, the Spurs were in love with Hill and Blair, as was Spurstalk.
In hindsight, if not for Amare's health issues, that would have been a no-brainer of a trade. Anytime you can acquire a player with star potential (who can fit within the team's culture), you have to go for it, no matter how much you love your role players.
Point being, if this Monroe guy has star potential (despite the "he plays no defense" detractors), you let go of role players to get him.
**Disclaimer: If my recollection of that trade is inaccurate, then my bad.
getting rid of parker or green may be addition by subtraction
Dude, you willing to sell some of that?
RC did want to keep Cojo who some here were considering a fringe player in his second NBA season,, but you went by the side. The main point is that CoJo is in a much better team and situation for himself. He became a regular rotation player and a legit 6th/7th man, which fans here never thought he had in him.
He had been 10-12 th in the Spurs depth chart but in another good team he's getting more playing time has and be helped improve that team significantly. I believe in a team that sought to play Kyle to his strengths and not off the ball and off Manu he would be better and improve that team significantly more. It's no secret that the Spurs system didn't do CoJo any favors bc he was asked to play off the ball when he was a real PG, more of a real PG than Mills is, and Kyle is similar in some respects, and becoming already a better shooter than CoJo.
