We need players that understand the big picture...... New England and San Antonio understand this. Kawhi is a blessing......
Rockets at the moment can probably beat the Spurs next season. If they land either Melo or PG still won't be enough to beat the Warriors. If Spurs can sign Blake Griffin and trade LMA for a 1 year rental of PG and make some other moves they may have enough to beat Rockets next season, maybe Warriors. If Spurs don't do anything this offseason to counter Rockets, next season is gonna be a long one for sure.
That's if Indy wants LMA. If they want LMA, Murray and two firsts, then the Spurs need a commitment. It's a 2D trade
Yes, exactly. I'll take PG over LMA for this year all day.
It's a 2D trade. Boston has to outbid SA for PG to agree to stay as well as for Indy to trade him.
yeah, i don't want to lose murray. and definitely not for a possible one-year rental.
How many of you guys would be willing to trade Dejounte if PG commits to re-sign or extend? I think I would do it for sure. We should be able to fill the PG slot pretty easy after that. You'll get guys like Derrick Rose wanting to step in for cheap to form a super team IMO.
Edit : BTW, I still don't want Derrick Rose.
Spurs would still beat the Rockets next year provided LMA is still on the team and everyone is fully healthy (and either Parker miraculously comes back and plays at a decent enough level or Murray takes a strong step forward).
Murray is right next to Kawhi in terms of guys I'd be willing to trade. Leonard is the only untouchable, but Murray is about as untouchable as you can get without actually being there.
Nah. CP3 is our daddy. He'll hit a game winner in game 7.
The Blazers are going to pissed to see Cash Considerations being part of this deal as well.
LMA has no value for a rebuilding franchise. If they trade PG they will be exactly that. Don't get your hopes up guys, we won't get PG13.
CP0 isn't the Spurs' daddy, him combined with Griffin/DeMonkey on the PnR were. Spurs have plenty of wing defenders to throw on him and Harden but they could never handle Griffin and DeMonkey's athleticism.
I'm not the one you should say that to.
Guess that was just my imagination seeing him light us up every time they play the Spurs then.
And he'll just throw lobs to Capella now.
I think you might have a chance if you include Dejounte and maybe even a draft pick. I also think the Nate McMillian and Pritchard connection would allow them to take Aldridge on as they're very familiar with him. They know how to get the best out of him IMO.
Capella is 4-5 inches shorter than DeMonkey and there's no Griffin to worry about so they can guard the lob easier.
My guess is that the Spurs are going for wing scoring / D and post help this offseason.
In no particular order:
Scoring wing: Hayward, Gallinari, Iggy, Re , Waiters, Galloway, Simmons
F/C help: Nene, McGee, Dedmon, Millsap, Ibaka, Gasol, Ilyasove, Gibson
Much rather send a 1st round pick to the Clippers for Beverley than overpay George Hill. Then hopefully we could make a move for Paul George. Not sure who we'd play at center but we'd have a nice 1-4 small ball unit.
4-5 inches shorter? Now you're just making up, Rob.
They managed to do the deal without Williams, thus allowing them to trade him "for nothing" and get a TE. Still have a lot of work to do, but interesting.
Capella is noticeably shorter than LMA who is 6'11" while DeMonkey is 7'1"/7'2".
yeah, la and gasol will both be older & fatter so they can guard the lob easier
