I think we've shown that if we don't play like dog we can challenge any team. That being said we need a scorer off the bench who can shoot and handle the ball some.
Lets say you are given the keys to be GM of this team. What realistic moves would you make before the trade deadline specificly to even be able to challange the Warriors team?

Kyle Anderson to the Mavs for Justin Anderson
Laprovittola + 2017 First round pick
to
Timberwolves for
Tyus Jones and Timberwolves 2nd round pick 2018
Tyus Jones is actually a pretty good young pg - and he's definitely the Wolves 3ed pg. I'd love to have him take over for Parker, but even if not, he'd make pretty good insurance for Patty leaving.
i'm trading parker.
Aldridge for a solid big man and a decent point guard (Valanciunas and Cory Joseph?)
Fathead for Anthony Davis.
LMA to Milwaukee for Greg Monroe and Rashad Vaughn and a second rounder
Danny Green and Kyle Anderson and Forbes and a future second rounder for Nerlans Noel and Robert Covington
PG- Parker, Mills, Lap, Murray
SG- Covington, Manu, Vaughn
SF- Leonard, Simmons, Bertans
PF- Monroe, Noel, Lee
C- Gasol, Dedmon
Aldridge to PHX
Jrue Holiday, T. Jones, Cunningham pick to SA
Knight, Bender, Chriss to Pelicans
( Pels get Knight on a fair deal 12 mi next 4 yrs vs. paying 22+ mil for Jrue and get Bender as a nice prospect to grow w/ Anthony Davis at the 5.)
Then I'd turn around trade Mills for a late 1st to a contender out East (Hawks?) ( Jrue would start at PG, Parker would be back up -- no room for Mills).
Anderson just has to go. And try to sucker the kings into taking Aldridge for Cousins
Patty + Anderson for Belinelli... numbers work.
We get something for Patty before he goes away, we get Beli on a friendly contract that's expiring next season...
You give Murray/Lapro/Manu some run at backup PG, and you get a good off the ball player that can give you good shooting and already knows the system to shore up the bench...
Id prefer Lamb over Belinelli.
beli isn't worth giving up patty for.
even for getting him on a friendly contract. manu's contract comes off the book after this season anyways.
parker is getting a raise next season. if you have the keys to be GM, you get rid of him.
lamb isn't worth giving up patty for either.
Patty is walking away for nothing at the end of the season. I get the feeling he's going to get offered a ton of money by some team with good capspace, and he's gone.
I don't want him gone, but I feel the Spurs would have to massively overpay in a multi-year deal to keep him. So might aswell try to get something back.
if you have the keys and you're giving up patty... aim higher.
It says play GM before the deadline... I'm talking tweaking here, for this season, not blow it up...
beli for patty isn't a positive tweak for this season.
you said beli would "give you good shooting and already knows the system to shore up the bench"...
-patty is a better shooter
-patty has been with the spurs longer so probably knows the system better
-beli won't shore up the bench anymore than patty already is
I can't imagine any team willing to take Parker under any cir stances. It's a pipe dream and nothing more.
you forgot the "plays off the ball" part, which this team is lacking...
I rather keep Patty, but he's gonna move on, and
- we have a logjam at backup PG
- Patty is the only player besides Danny that has good enough value to make a trade happen (LMA, Kawhi and Gasol are not going anywhere this season, IMO, Manu and Tony are retiring as Spurs, the rest has no real value)
- if it doesn't work out, you have an expiring $6m contract for next season
Could it make us worse? sure. Could it be just a lateral move? sure.
I know some peeps here didn't love Marco, tbh, especially for his defense... but Pop just commented a few weeks ago how the Spurs were never really able to replace him since he left...
And I'm one of the biggest Patty fans in here, tbh... gonna be sad to see him go at the end of the season...
I'm resigned to losing Mills in free agency. If PATFO can find a way to get an asset or somehow upgrade the back-court by packaging him at the trade deadline, I would certainly do it..
By Jan/February, this team should get a clear idea about their postseason chances..It is gonna suck seeing him in Pistons uniform as we get nothing in return per par..
Manure is outta here. Clearly holding back Paddy
All the trades that would considerably increase our chances should be to get a very good to great Point Guard or at least Combo guard.
All of those trades would involve trading either Manu or Tony.
A true Spur GM won´t trade them.
