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

[jsandiego]

Patty to Clips for Bradley.
Green & Fathead to Clips for DeAndre Jordan.
Green opts out in off-season and re-signs.

Next year we're Detroit Pistons 2004. Our defense will be:
Murray
Green
Kawhi
LaMarcus
Jordan
Bradley off the bench

Get ready for 78-77 victories in 2019!

[Phenomanul]

On defense:
Mills <<<<<<<<< Bradley << Green

On offense:
Mills << Green < Bradley

Contractual bang for the buck:
Mills <<<<< Bradley <<<<<< Green

We shall see.......... Danny will be TRASH if he leaves the spurs! One trick pony..

And Avery Bradley has been trash since he left the Celtics. He isn't worth Green and a 1st.

[Atl Spur]

Like I said, in our system. You guys can’t be that blind! That man is a better player than Danny

[Keepin' it real]

Can't wait to see Bradley shut down either Steph or Klay on Saturday!!!

[Atl Spur]

And he’s younger

[Dre_7]

Like I said, in our system. You guys can’t be that blind! That man is a better player than Danny

No he isn't. He was just traded and now the team that traded for him is trying to trade him again. Why?

[TimDunkem]

No he isn't. He was just traded and now the team that traded for him is trying to trade him again. Why?

Because expirings are gold.

[Atl Spur]

I won’t waste your time nor mine! I agree to disagree

[Dre_7]

Because expirings are gold.

So they would trade away an expiring for DG who may or may not opt out next year? Why would they trade an expiring if it is gold?

[HarlemHeat37]

Well, another year, another pointless trade thread at least this one only reached 10 pages..

Danny will get a better deal if he opts out. And at thinking he would opt-in to that LAC show.

As a Green fan, I would hope he has enough self-awareness to realize he shouldn't be living in LA, even ignoring the Clippers mess..he has enough self-control problems in ing SA

[Dre_7]

So why would they even risk it then? They already have Bradley's expiring contract, just keep that and have space next year. Unless they want that late first rounder that bad?

And also, why would DG get a better deal if he is so bad? Spurs fans

No . Danny "Teen Night at the club" Green would probably be out of the league by the end of his next contract if he stuck in LA with all that temptation.

There is no risk. You could move Danny again if he opted in for any reason. And, yes, a first rounder in a reasonably strong draft is nice compensation. Well done answering your own question.

Also at asking how Danny can get a better guaranteed deal when we have a no-skill, no defense playing midget fleecing our FO for 50 million and a guaranteed roster spot. casuals

Everything you are saying confirms that it is a great deal for LAC. Which is why they are trying to make that deal.

DG > Bradley
DG 1st rounder >>> Bradley

It would be a foolish trade for the Spurs to make

Uh no . You asked so I explained it to you.

Wait I'm confused. I thought you wanted the Spurs to make this move? Perhaps I misunderstood. My apologies

[sananspursfan21]

Not exclusively, but it always helps. A good 6'6'' defender will be better than a good 6'2'' defender, and a ty 6'2'' defender will be tier than a ty 6'6'' defender.

Guys who say otherwise have never played basketball either compe ively or recreationally. I’ve played some excellent defenders (relative to surroundings that is) that were several inches shorter. They may not have let me move toward the basket much but I always had the option to shoot over. Then I’ve played some lesser talented defenders taller and not as mobile and they make you work hard. Shooting over them is never an option. No matter what, you’ve got to go around them. Height makes a huge difference in playing defense. Hence the Spurs strategy to go opposite of small ball with a long backcourt. With the right personnel, big-ball would win every time.

Spurs fans can now exhale. We didn't trade Danny and a first for Avery Bradley.

That's actually great news.

[spursistan]

lol this trade had no traction at all..Stein getting played by the Clippers sources. There is a reason ESPN kicked him to the curb when they acquired Woj.

Stein is solid and credible reporter but he is definitely a league below Woj and Shams.. Has he even broken anything since Joining the NYTimes?

[sasaint]

That's actually great news.

I did not use a blue font.
