The Spurs has always like Johnson from what I've read on here for a yr or 2 now.
Saw this report earlier that they are interested in at least one or both. Anyone else see this? I know they're both really young and the dude from the Pistons plays both ends well from what I hear. And the Gomez guy is banger.

detroit is so thin on the wing, moving Johnson would be tough. Relatively cheap too, and they're going to up against the tax next year. Makes sense financially to hold onto him vs. having to pay Anderson for instance.
re: Hernangomez, anyone has to be better than Joffrey.
The only reason I could see for the Spurs to be pursuing Johnson again is because they want to trade Green or at least aren't planning on keeping Anderson/Gay and think Detroit you be interested in what Danny brings.
Johnson is very strong and has always been a plus defender, but his offense and shooting are Andre Roberson bad.
Don't look at Johnson's %.
I like Hernagomez
He had a "40 minutes, 0-13 FG, 0-6 from three" game earlier this season and a game of his life against Cleveland few days ago.
Stanley can become a poor man Artest, it would be amazing if he could be developed in San Antonio
I’d take johnson; he plays tough d and has skill that can be molded.
Hernangomez is a player.
Something like Lauvergne, rights to Milutinov, Paul. Throw in a 2nd if needed.
Or if they value Patty. Patty, rights to Milutinov, 2nd for Willy, McDermott, Baker
Denver's Hernangomez has a good size and was a 40%+ from three in his rookie season.
Knicks' Hernangomez is a great high energy backup big.
They don't play at all this season. What's wrong?
saw rumors that b4 the blake griffin trade, Detroit was inquiring about Danny... fwiw If San Antonio had interest, it wasn't in exchange for Danny then.
Well if SA thinks Danny will opt out and they won’t pay to keep him, trading him makes plenty of sense. Would be pretty devastating to me (not to mention seemingly detrimental to a Lebron chase?).
But he did put on a show on national tv in a timely manner for the trade deadline. I would hope for something better than Stanley damn Johnson though. If that is the case, just keep Danny and let him opt out if that’s all you can get.
Ooooooooohhhhh Hernangomez. Spurs kinda player! Would be cool if true.
NY is crowded with bigs: Kristaps, Kanter, O’Quinn & even Noah to a lesser degree. Just like SA has a ton of guards.
That Pau / Willy connection makes it a good fit too as far as culture.
If we trade Danyy to Detroit I'd like to get Kennard in the deal. I like the idea of replacing Joffery's minutes with Willy as well..
What about something with Philly. We know they want shooting:
Mills/BP3 +2nd Rd Pick for Saric/Amir. PHI gets a vet for a playoff team who provides shooting at a position of need. Saric comes to a team with more of a need for a big man.
PHI can take on Mills contract no problem for a couple years since their salaries are so low with Red coming off the books next year and Amir/Booker gone anyways too.
76ers want to maintain their ample cap space beyond this season and even if they didn't, there's no chance they'd trade Saric for that paltry package. They've already got a lesser Mills, in Bayless, plus losing Johnson would leave only Holmes behind Embiid and he's not durable enough to be that thin at center.
This is where I saw it: https://airalamo.com/2018/02/01/san-...y-green-trade/
basically it was the Pistons inquired about Danny Green. they also inquired about other wings in other teams b4 moving on Blake Griffin. whatever they offered sure wasn't enough.
Bayless is not the shooter Mills is consistently, Brown has a great relationship with Mills and trusts him. They have plenty of cap space even with Embiid signing his bigger deal for several more years and Mills deal would be a blip on the radar for the next two years for them.76ers want to maintain their ample cap space beyond this season and even if they didn't, there's no chance they'd trade Saric for that paltry package.

They want shooting, have been public about it (even with Red there and he could be gone next year and Mills is way cheaper) and without Fultz they need it. They have a bit of a logjam there too.
So they said they wanted more shooting but didn’t want to give up draft picks for it. Well if that is the case, taking on some money when you have ample room to do so and your core locked in is how you do it. Plus you would be GETTING picks along with a shooter/vet you trust and know well which accomplishes all goals (getting a shooter and not giving up a pick)
I guess it all depends on how highly PHI thinks of Saric. I think he’s very talented but how talented? I don’t know. I have no real sense of how the league values him. Don’t see him really discussed a true break out player or anything but seems respected enough
That's why I said he's a lesser version. Point is, Mills upgrading him it's enough impetus to squander a core player or a copious amount of cap space.
Joffrey, Paul, and a second I'm fine with. I wouldn't include Milutinov, I think he's better than Hernangomez by a decent margin.
