Why do teams keep trading for Jeff Greene? He's not good.

His $15 million expiring contract is attractive if the Pistons are doing this to have cap space next year while Reggie Jackson is still on the books for 3 more years.
And apparently (some article I read about the emergence of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope)... not that I watch the Pistons... they had adapted their system to play off their wings and forwards and were winning games with KCP emergence as a really interesting offensive player. Reggie getting healthy altered their chemistry and their system and made them worse. He's ball dominant and not useful if he's not the one doing the scoring, etc.
Maybe there are egos involved too. If anyone has watched them, they can add to this. But it's more likely related to them wanting to move Reggie out... (Green's expiring is enticing for them too. Pistons eyeing Patty or Simmons, or some Spur FA lol) Nah just kidding.
I suppose ... not sure but ok move for Magic. They were benching Payton this season and needed someone better than Augustin.
Makes sense.
Just how bad Rob Hennigan is?
Magic FO are on a terrifying run of ineptness
^^Doubt it's a credible source, tbh..

This trade works for me.. Do it RC!!
Or Anderson, Parker and Forbes for Jimmy Butler!!
No way dude. What would have been too "steep" with that Orlando roster to turn down such a deal?

Rumor has it that every 6 years Indiana willl "gift" SanAn the next Kawhi.
Just do it Roberto Carmela Buford. Mills et al are available tbh
SA wasn't gifted Khawi, they got the pick and drafted him. Its easy to say a team should have drafted x player after they have developed.
"gift"
They want frontcourt help... bigs basically, rebounders. They could have made a move for Noel, Nurkic, etc...
edit: thinking about it they may not want a young player and want a veteran. Pau for example.. which I suspect it's a no from RC.
Let's do a 3-way team then. Mills, Fathead and Simmons to Philly. Noel to Indy. Indy's 1st round pick aka the next Kawhi going home, again.
That trade leaves 3 holes in the team right this second and Ginobili just got his annual injury. But I think your general point is that there could be some way to make it happen if RC really wanted to make that trade. I think they will do their due diligence.
Plus I think Indy wants a more veteran player than Noel. They don't want youngsters. We shall see what happens. What's shocking is how they treated George last season and how they are having to backtrack their previous stance.
Read that wrong.
Meh, both teams are just shuffling chairs around on the anic. Both gonna sink regardless.
I wasn't talking about doing it now but at the end of the season actually. You don't trade 3 rotational players at once at this time of the Season when you're the 2nd best team in the league fighting for a Championship. Unless you're getting a Clyde Drexler type of player (tier not position) in exchange.
Oh that makes more sense... Personally I think they stand pat this season for that same reason. The offseason is another matter. They traded Tiago, Diaw and made all their moves in the offseason and this should not be different... but Indiana wants help for this season right now. They are in 7th? place in the Eastern conference but have had a losing streak and Paul George is complaining about wanting to play for a winning team.
They need help right now.
As much as some of us wish they would, the Spurs will not make any deals before the deadline. They have two types of players: 1) players who are untouchable for a variety of reasons, and 2) players who are on such cheap contracts that they wouldn't net anybody in exchange who would move the needle this season.
Bring up Hollis Thompson from Austin. Then may become the 2nd PG. Let Forbes be the 3rd the 3rd PG, his shooting is as good and anybody plays as good as D as Mills. Then have the pacers throw Georges Niang in the trade to replace KA.
Holes filled
PG- parker, Murray, Forbes
SG- green, Thompson, Manu
SF- Leonard, bertans, Niang
PF- LMA, Lee,
C - gasol, dedmon, Anthony

Right, that guts the back end of wing depth (would Bertans be the fourth wing?) plus puts too much reliance on Parker and Murray. The Spurs WOULD get three small trade exceptions that could be used in separate trades to bring in a rotation piece.
Pop has not played Bertans as a wing the entire season. He has his rookies to train for upcoming seasons and team building. It's just how it is. You promote 3 rooms in spots (Forbes unknown if he's even a rotation quality player and send out guys that are producing right now at very cheap prices anyways) your trade makes the team worse tbh.
