Trade Deadline Watch

[apalisoc_9]

Some members of the Utah Jazz front office have expressed interest in trading for Lakers guard Lou Williams:

Good for utah...hood and hill are always injured for some reason.

Burks is awful but he's young enough that it might convince Utah.

First round plus Burke for Williams..

[HarlemHeat37]

Thibs getting Rose would be a move to get Rubio off the books IMO..it would be a nice move IMO, assuming they aren't going to pay Rose in the off-season, which would be foolish..

[apalisoc_9]

Strange. I mean, I wonder if they are worried about Hills foot/toe?

Its not just hill foot toe. Hood can very inconsistent and gets minor injuries every now and then.

This is a no brainer for the Jazz if they want to compete for the third seed.

[apalisoc_9]

A closing lineup of Lou/Hood-Hill-Hayward-Johnson/ingles + Gobert can get help them reduce the ty offensive stretches they go through every game.

[Chillen]

The would only get two players (Crowder + Bradley) for now though and the pick isn't guaranteed to be a great player (seemingly would be with a top pick though).

Griffin has rarely been healthy, it's a risky move but it's not the worst trade idea.

[Chillen]

It's not about there being a market for TP - it's about the Spurs willingness to trade him. NY has no allegiance to Rose; SA very much has allegiance to TP.

yep, 4 rings vs zero!

Somebody put a gun to both the Bulls and Sixers GM's heads and make them agree to this:

Spurs get: Butler
Bulls get: Green and Noel
Sixers get: Mills and Anderson

Only thing left to do is putting a gun on Matt Bonners head, so Pop agrees to the trade as well.

If that would ever happen, I would faint from excitement.

You and me both. Imagine a defensive lineup of Butler-Kawhi-Aldrige-Dedmon. Just put the PG on the weakest guy of the opposing Team.

[Nathan89]

Clippers would play better vs GSW if they played a small lineup involving those pieces. Blake Griffen taking it at Draymond and taking long 2's is a disaster.

Re ed trades are done for at least decade after Boogie`s.

Mirotic is available, he`s definately Spurs` material, but he`s due to pay rise.

That looks like the kind of deal that Boston would offer for Aldridge...

That would be an excellent haul for LMA: Crowder + Bradley/Smart + a Nets pick

Nets pick stays in Massachusetts. It didn`t went for Cousins, it won`t go for anybody else, maybe expect Paul George.

[cd98]

Man I have Spurs/Pacers tickets. They better not trade George or those are worthless.

Unless they trade him to the Spurs...

Boston would have go Nets pick, Crowder, Smart to get George available for talks. I don`t expect him changing uniforms this week.

[spursistan]

Damn, I didn't realize Al Horford was 30 years old what a questionable deal, in hindsight, considering his impact vs. salary..

Larry Bird is an ass GM, he would be foolish to take on a bad veteran contract in a win-now mode just to appease the overrated Paul George..if the Celtics are offering a package, I'd take it and run..

They'd give up the pick for Butler too imo

Spurs shouldn't have cut him then.

LMAO. So should we try and get Lou Williams or nah?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Career playoff FG%: .362, 3p%: .238.

Nope. No need for another Kevin Martin.

That's not a fair comparison...

If he were cheaper, maybe. Mills and Anderson would be a high as I'd go.

That's the deal I'd do too...I think that's the only deal you can offer.

7M per is good value for a 6th man candidate IMO. Mills is gone next year, so is Manu and maybe Simmons..it helps this year but I think next year is when it really makes sense
