Millsap > Aldridge
Do it Pop!

Who starts at the 4?
I was joking and forgot to use blue font. I want LMA to stay and he will stay. Let's say this somehow happened though...that would mean Bertans or Dedmon starts at the 4, which is a sacrifice I'd be willing to take for Westbrook at PG. But yeah, this clearly isn't happening nor will it ever.
I'd add Chicago and NY to that list of possible destinations if we decide to move him.
Ban, tbh.
Millsap wouldn't even be the third best spur if it happened
LMa for Porzingingsss
Pelo a pelo
Do it RC!
OP is the same who gave us the "trade Leonard for Ariza and Beal..." thread.
I think that was the Apalisoc troll though....
Actually Millsap has similar STATS with LMA, the one clear statistical dis-advantage MIllsap has is: turnovers & Fouls, and I bet Pop could most likely fix that.
Millsap is a better rebounder & defender and a better 3 pt shooter.
The other advantage that LMA has is that he "did it" at a higher usage rate 26% to 22%. However that will go down this year. Timmy took a much smaller role offensively to help LMA fit better. That's not a sacrifice Pau is willing to do, thus Millsap fits us better in that regard as well.
I would be up for someone that sets proper screens, the Spurs way, wouldn't you?

I'd rather Knight, Len and one of Bender/Chriss and I doubt even the Kings would be stupid enough to do that.If I had to pick, I would go w/ Knight+Bender+Tucker then package Patty/Kyle for Willie Cauley-Stein (Hey, it's the Kings:).
Knight would be a bonafide 6th man ala Jason Terry while WCS can start alongside Pau who would be the perfect mentor for Bender.
Murray/Knight/Kawhi/Bender/WCS/Bertans would be a solid young core to build upon after Pau/Manu/Tony depart. The team isn't winning a championship w/ Porker as it's starting PG so might as well use his remaining 2 year as a stop gap along w/ Pau.
Guards like Knight, that can credibly play both spots, on both sides of the ball, are valuable because they can be paired with any type of guard. Short of a Paul or a Westbrook, he's the type of guard the Spurs need: a high character type, that's good enough to start/finish, but won't gripe if he rarely does.
That's the type of package I could see piquing the Spurs' interest. There may not be a star among them, but they're 3 potential starters or at least top 7 players, they could help keep them a steady playoff team (important because you can't get in the game with the major free agents if you're not at least at that level) and should have solid or better re-sale value, for when the next star hits the trade market.
The Bulls have enough assets to put together a credible package, but the Knicks don't. They only have Porzingis, who they wouldn't move.
I actually forgot Len was even on the Suns since he has pretty much been a bust although the 2014 draft class was terrible. Anyways, wouldn't mind swapping him for Kyle if the Suns want to move on from him.
Tbh, Knight is a pretty mediocre playmaker for a starting point guard & is also a minus defender but he would be fine in a Jason Terry type role. I would take Jrue over him any day of the week.Guards like Knight, that can credibly play both spots, on both sides of the ball, are valuable because they can be paired with any type of guard.

no.
I think LMA has a little more marquee value. I think the Hawks should include at least a second round pick. Then I'd like this trade pretty well.
A rational person wouldn't move Porzingis....but, James Dolan has a history of overriding his GM to do things that aren't rational but provide a short term spark....So, you're right about NY in theory...but never underestimate the stupidity of Dolan....
Len was picked in '13 and started coming on in '14-'15, right around the time Gobert and Whiteside were. He's had a lot of injuries though and maybe the signing of Chandler messed with his head. I don't think they want to move on from him, but I don't think he'd be a deal breaker either.
Since the Spurs love Anderson and would be the one with the marquee asset in this hypothetical trade, he wouldn't be going anywhere.
Knight is ideally suited to being a third guard in a three guard rotation, but if he has to be more, he could be. In a vacuum, I'd definitely take Holiday over him, but he's had the more severe injuries, will more than likely command a significantly bigger contract and there's no assurances of being able to sign him.
They drafted two frontcourt players in the lottery (Bender/Chriss) & Len is due for an extension which tells me they are most likely going to move him by the trade deadline considering they already have Chandler's ty contract on the books.
Len's a real player. No joke.
Cap space isn't an issue, most teams are set at center and Chandler is old and in decline.
Expect them to trade Tucker or let him walk at season's end, thereby paving the way to slide Dudley from starting power forward to backup small forward and clearing the way for Bender/Chriss to share the power forward position.
I'm not talking about cap space but log jams at frontcourt which is what caused the Jazz to move Kanter. The Suns also traded Isaiah for peanuts b/c they had a log jam at the PG position. If he has a decent season there is going to be a team that's going to offer him a stupid contract similar to Miles Plumlee.
no thanks - let spurs ring this year then trade lma and green
There is no logjam. There's one aging center and two unproven power forwards.
If it comes to him getting a "stupid" offer, the Suns easily can and more than likely will match it.
Len is a cross b/w Baynes/Miles Plumlee, I'm not sure what people see in him to be regarded as a prospect worth retaining at all costs.
