NBA Trade Deadline 2018

[jermaine]

All this loyalty talk... Who besides Ginobil, Duncan, an Bonner have they been loyal to??? They tried to trade Parkers ass before, an everyone else they let walk cuz they not paying tip dollar!!!!

[Seventyniner]

Damn, Walker has his flaws, but he would be perfect for the Spurs..I can't remember the last time there was a player on the trading block who would actually fill a hole that would make the Spurs a contender, tbh..Pop probably isn't even paying attention, though

Woj said that the Spurs tried really hard to get Kyrie, so they have to at least be kicking the tires on Walker. If the Spurs don't get Walker I think it will be because they won't trade Parker, won't take on a terrible contract, or the Hornets don't want Mills.

[MaNu4Tres]

Yeah. No one should have more motivation than Spurs to pull this off. They have to attempt to take advantage of a rare opportunity where so many things appear to line up. If they don't at the very least pursue this to the fullest, it will tell me they're no longer serious about contending for a championship.

Aldridge/Williams
Leonard/Anderson
Gasol/Aldridge
Green/Ginobili
Walker/Parker

Bertans, Forbes, Lauvergne, Paul, White.

2nd best team in the league, capable of giving Warriors a series.

Closing with

Aldridge
Marvin
Leonard
Green or Manu
Kemba

.....

I stated a couple weeks ago in this thread how much I'd love Kemba on this team. A go-to scoring PG who can actually handle the rock and plays his best ball under pressure. A true closer. And he'd fill our biggest position of need.

But we just don't realistically have anything to give up for him at this point. Charlotte is going to want something of value in return for their best player.

I think Kemba celebrates after making some baskets so I highly doubt Pop wants him, tbh.

They have players they can trade... they won't trade is another matter.

[sasaint]

I would love Georgie if he were bought out. He has an excellent 3-ball, and I believe he would be terrific back in a Spurs uniform. I just wouldn't trade for that contract. I am interested to see who would...

[objective]

It makes some from the Spurs, but doesn't help Charlotte much. A late first rounder for more committed salary...24 million.

I could see a scenario where they would want Murray, he'll be cheap for 2 more years + under team control another restricted year. Compared to Kemba who would cost a ton after next year, probably 20+ million.

The Charlotte decision makers are believably dumb enough to buy into the hype some people have been about Dejounte Murray.

If the Spurs could peel off another bad contract for than I don't think a deal is out of the question if no other team steps up.

You'd have to include Murray to get kemba
Mills a 1 and Murray. Still not sure they would bite.

If it were Parker instead of Mills they might. They want cap relief as much as anything.

I'd have no problem giving up Murray to get Kemba.

Murray would be the allegedly good young player Charlotte is seeking. Mills-Murray-Kyle-Joffrey-2019 first for Kemba-Lamb works if Charlotte cuts MCW to get the roster space.

Walker fits into the Spurs timeline better, if say Kawhi's prime is shortened with these repeat injuries.

[Namundy]

They're trying to shed salary, not do the Spurs favors.

[Gagnrath]

Pop traded Bruce Bowen and his favorite guy in George Hill. When you trade away people who you proclaim are your favorites and guys who you want to hang their numbers from the rafters is anyone safe if the right deal comes along?

[ace3g]

[objective]

The reason a Parker instead of Mills deal doesn't work on the Spurs side beyond the Parker loyalty is the Spurs can't afford to pay Kemba next summer with Mills on the roster.

They can't afford the luxury of the highest paid back up point in the league and still pay Kemba 20+, which if Hill could get Kemba can get

[gambit1990]

cavs going after exactly who i said they and the spurs should go after: deandre and lou williams.

That Mills contract is just going to get worse and worse.

[objective]

That Mills contract is just going to get worse and worse.

No doubt. And Kemba is too small to play with Mills, even if Mills wasn't $50 million of trash

[NASpurs]

Like I said in the game thread, trade Mills + Lauvergne for Amir Johnson’s expiring $11 million. The Sixers need a backup point that can shoot and Patty can be reunited with the Australians up there. The Spurs get rid of Mills and Lauvergne’s player option.

This is assuming you can’t get Walker in return and a last ditch effort.

That's just too smart, man. In other words... it ain't happening.

Expect a wet fart trade for a benchwarmer in the form of De Culo-Daye

I think Amir as a player and his contract have more value than that. I think the 76'ers can do better.
