Stein: Spurs Have Emerged as as Trade Suitor for Avery Bradley

[SpurPadre]

Wasn't Bradley originally a PG? Anyway, if Murray is hurt you just put Tony back on the starting lineup and have Manu be the PG of the bench, like he has always been.

You don't back off of a trade that will bring long term improvement because of a short term injury.

I wouldn't back off but PATFO may very well do so.

[DPG21920]

Patty is better than this bum.

No he’s not. But even if they were equal Mills money isn’t needed

[lmbebo]

I don't see this trade happening.

Stanley Johnson seems more likely. Not sure that happens either.

[DPG21920]

Yes!! We need more point guards!!

SA can use younger/more athletic guards. But giving a guard up with long-term money (Mills) for a more versatile guard with an expiring contract (Bradley) helps free up playing time for best players, gets you a good look at a better player and gives you much more flexibility for the off season.

Porker hasn't been needed these past few years.

[Down Under]

He's going to walk, is no longer a good defender & has never been a great shooter. Probably wouldn't be a great move.

Even if all that is true. Freeing the cap space is still worth it.

If we can dump 50Mills' contract it is.

[MoSpur02]

Attach Gasol and Mills and bring in Bradley and Jordan.

Parker is an expiring contract.

A late first is worth dumping Mills and the cost would not get any cheaper by waiting.

Ooh, now you've piqued my interest. If you could dump both in one shot, that would be amazing!

I can’t see LAC doing that. Jordan is expiring and they definitely want his salary gone. They would get the first just by taking Mills. No need to take on more salary with Pau for Jordan and not get any more picks.

[Chinook]

I don’t think Bradley can be traded with another player. So I doubt LAC can take on that much salary. Mills makes almost 2M more than Bradley alone.

LAC can do it as separate trades. Two min deals could match Kyle's salary, and due CBA rules, Paul could go over to balance the rosters without counting as traded salary.

Ya - I mentioned the concurrent trades things so should not be an obstacle.

Neither do I, but a trade like that would make me almost as excited as winning the Championship. It's a pipe dream for sure, but getting rid of both those contracts in one fell swoop with be incredible.

Maybe Mills + first for Bradley.

Then Dekker/Harrell for Forbes or Bertans? Keeps LAC under luxury tax.

Drop your Pina Colada and make this happen Rolando Carmela Buford.

[baseline bum]

Please Fifty for Bradley's expiring.

[Ice009]

Please Fifty for Bradley's expiring.

That guy in your avatar is willing to go to jail to make this trade happen.

[MoSpur02]

Gasol would love to go back to L.A. Make it happen.

[Ice009]

Gasol would love to go back to L.A. Make it happen.

I would love for him to go back too.

I'd hate for the Spurs to give the 1st round pick for someone they likely won't be able to re-sign.

What about to dump Mills money and give them an easier path to flexibility

[Ice009]

I'd hate for the Spurs to give the 1st round pick for someone they likely won't be able to re-sign.

Can you get out of the Mills contract without giving up a first, though? Is that possible? I don't think it is.
