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

[sasaint]

lol this trade had no traction at all..Stein getting played by the Clippers sources.

Yep. Even though reports kind of made it seem like the Spurs were the instigators.

[cd98]

I just can't believe this rumor wasn't real.

[cd021]

So glad this deal didn't go through

[LittleCriminal]

Keep DG, trade that pile kyle is what should of taken place.

[SpurPadre]

Spurs are the kings at standing pat.

[TheGreatYacht]

Shows you how much respect other NBA teams have Danny G-League, which is absolutely none.

[Atl Spur]

Trade or no trade Bradley is the better player; as far as the dude speaking on playing defense.......you win. Lol. Lateral quickness, anticipation/instincts are so important but desire is a must!

I commend you on figuring out that nickname. I'd been wondering if you would

[Keepin' it real]

Placed my order for a Bradley jersey!

Trade it in for a Danny Green rental jersey for when the Spurs' only asset walks away for nothing in the offseason.

Better than if Bradley walked AND the Spurs lost their 1st round pick.

I wasn't for giving up a first round pick but I wouldn't have thought twice about a Green for Bradley swap. Younger and able to guard a premium position and seeing Lou Williams sign for less than a full MLE makes me think Bradley could have been had on the cheap.

[koriwhat]

would love AB here.

Thank god we kept Danny. Bradley would've been nice but not at the expense of losing Danny. I hear he's injured anyway.

[TD 21]

Obviously, Green and a 1st for Bradley was never happening. Even straight up, I don't get why Spurs would supposedly have interest. If it's the roughly 3.5 years age gap, then why were they so willing to s out for Mills? He's not only less valuable and easier to replace, but they literally already had replacement(s) in house.

Given their situation (committed to the rest of the core, lacking financial flexibility), I don't get why they seem to want to move on from Green period.

Think the trade talks went down like this:

Spurs: "We're interested in Bradley."
Clips : "We need a first round pick for our trouble."
Spurs: "Bradley for Mills and a first?"
Clips : "We don't want to tie up our books, how about Green because he is also an expiring?"
Spurs: "We're not interested in giving up a 1st and Green to acquire Bradley,"

*Gets reported as the Spurs are offering/ willing to give up Green and 1st for Bradley.

I have to believe that the Spurs weren't considering moving Green for Bradley- even though Bradley is 3.5 years younger, Green is better and probably isn't going to command as much in FA as Bradley would. I think PATFO have probably liked Bradley for a while and kicked the tires on acquiring him but balked when their initial offer got countered.

[tholdren]

Bradley isnt even an upgrade from forbes

Eat it

I have a similar grasp of it as you.
I think they were bargain shopping... not even expecting anyone to rock the boat, just players that are disgruntled, either projects or reclamation projects.

Hernangomez was pushing his way out of NY and they wanted to be opportunistic. Maybe he was pushing so hard for a trade, they could make it happen for Joff and a 2nd.

Stanley has been a bust considering his high pick and the fact he hasn't developed an offensive game at this stage and the longer it goes without him developing one, the more he gets devalued. He will be in his 4th season next year and at that point his value is even less on a trade... so maybe he could have been had for a project swap (or maybe even a pick, if they were so hot on him... but SVG wanting Danny + the pick was the resounding no.)

Avery I think went pretty much like you said. He has had a couple of bad seasons, and that combined with him being up for a contract and Clippers not wanting to pay him, maybe Spurs sensed an opportunity to get him for next to nothing... It didn't go that way.

Would you say Bradley is a better basketball player than Pile Kyle??

[DPG21920]

I will answer that. No.

Armchair Gm knowing exactly what the Clipper FO wants to do contract wise....lol GTFOH!!

[LittleCriminal]

I will answer that. No.

LOL do you watch any other NBA players aside from pile??
