If I am James, I accept that trade with open arms...he instantly pass from a non condender team to a contender team...and that's all he could be interested about.
Starting to think they didn’t think they could do better or they overvalued “culture”.

Boston is ing crazy. They don’t want to pay Smart but want a pick so someone else pays him. Ainge trying to shark others
PATFO gonna stand PAT
Willy Hernangomez has requested a trade from NY. Spurs rumored to be interested in him. I think he has a lot of potential. Can't believe the Knicks aren't giving him minutes after a solid rookie year
I am guessing that NY wants a 1st round pick for him... and I am guessing for Spurs that is a no.
Spurs should do it. They never play their first rounders anyway. And he's a better player than anyone were going to nab in the mid to late 20s
I don't know Hernangomez so I am kind of neutral...
Yeah, because our first rounders are too valuable.
I am going to play devil's advocate.
They could always go on a losing streak the last 25 games or so of the season if they know Kiwi isn't coming back but just aren't saying it right now. That pick could be higher than any they have had recently and are considering keeping it.
Spurs played the easy part of their schedule. They are in the hard part without Kawhi. They are going to drop in the standings. Chances are they will have a better pick than they have the last few years. They should hold on to it as it might make trade bait for a better player.
Agree with that if i’m the spurs i dont give this Year first pick except if it’s for a really good player.
...and Jerry West laughed and hung up the phone.
Blake Griffin didn’t yield a top top 10 pick , what do they think DJ will yield? They dont’ want to pay DJ and any team trading for him won’t give up a top pick if they know he won’t sign.
I agree they should be targeting expiring contracts but they can’t expect better than a late first for DJ unless they are willing to eat salary
I'm not a huge DJ fan, but he's worth more than that garbage. I'd rather let him walk for nothing in free agency than get Tristan Thompson's awful contract and a worse pick than Detroit's in return.
Chances are, the Cavs are not going to be able to dump any of those contracts without giving the Brooklyn pick.
A lot more teams will have better picks to do trade then us if you can do the trade for our first I would do it. wasn’t White a first round draft pick and he is on G League squad

Why is that crazy? BOS does not want to pay him because things changed over the years and they have a lot of good guards. They landed Kyrie and have other good guards/large wings. That does not make Smart a bad player or anything.
Makes sense that just due to cir stance and roster composition that they would do that. Will they get that pick? I don’t know but it would not surprise me. If a team really likes smart, needs a guard and is not confident that they can get a free agent look, then trading a pick to get the advantage on re-signing him sounds good.
I don’t think you got my meaning. Boston is crazy to expect anyone to surrender a 1st round pick for Smart that’s why he’s a shark
No I got it. Im just saying that I don’t think other teams will or should view it as crazy or shark-like. Smart is a talented player (with flaws). I can see someone willing to pay him that would be willing to part with a pick to get him.
No better than Kyle Anderson tbh... and I don’t think it’s reasonable to want a first round pick for a roleplayers who is some modern version of Tony Allen and is due to get paid... respectfully disagree. I hang up on Boston on the spot.
Pop has to decide what is more important: Winning, or winning with his guys. That's not an easy decision when talking about relationships that have lasted seven years or more. By far their best package involves Parker's expiring contract. No reason to lose value by doing Mills instead, and no point in getting worse by doing Green instead. If he can't bring himself to trade Tony, then he doesn't really have much of a right to criticize his players. No one in SA is doing everything it takes to win, except maybe LMA.
Sadly I'll never bet against this FO standing pat.
I agree and if Pop could trade Sean Elliott then he should be able to trade Tony
