They value his defense as much as the Spurs do. Their defense is markedly better when he’s playing.

Who values his D? Their defensive-first president and coach is no longer there.

[picnroll]

You really think they’d trade Covington for Beli and Pondexter or Gasol? If you could pull that off Spurs should hire you immediately.

That's the ballast, and I don't think it matters nearly as much as folks seem to be arguing. In terms of actual payment, I'm willing to offer anything not nailed down to add Cov to the current top seven.

[sasaint]

Seriously, though, the Spurs should be ready to go after Covington. With Okogie, the Wolves may not have much interest in Walker, but Covington is worth a big offer. Something around Beli and Pondexter or in a week, Gasol for Covington and filler (obviously with assets added in) could push the Spurs to at least equal with Denver.

White, DeRozan, Covington, Gay/Forbes, Aldridge gives the team a chance to be an elite three-point shooting team and an elite D. It would also either get the "three-point lineup" on the bench or have Gay better able to platoon with the other designated scorers.

I have been posting for over a year that Pop was never going to trade Patty, but I would be willing to trade Patty and Toronto's first for Covington.

[Spurs da champs]

Thibbs is done? Lmao.

[picnroll]

Would you give Mills or Forbes plus both next year picks for Covington whose on a long term contract?

[Fusternino]

Sekou could fall to late lottery due to bust concerns. De'Andre Hunter may be available in that range as well but his stock is rising.

[Mugen]

Gasol and the Toronto first for Covington. Good with throwing in rights to Militinov as well.

Not sure if it's possible, also not entirely clear on the restrictions on moving Covington since he was already traded. But acquiring RoCo without giving up their top 8 players and they'd be a comfortably a top 3 seed.....

Covington can be traded again, but Minny cannot package any other players in a trade involving Covington. T-pups can accept a package, just can't include Covington in an outgoing package.

Now that Thibs is gone it might be a possibility if they finally decide to go rebuild mode.

[Pavlov]

So....


We don't want to tank after all?

If Wolves will take it, do it...

[Pavlov]

Uh, why does Minnesota give up on Covington?

[ace3g]

[R. DeMurre]

Yeah, where did all those folks go?

[widowmaker]

Patrick McCaw just got wavied bring him in.

[DAF86]

Uh, why does Minnesota give up on Covington?

To get assets for the future and clear cap space.

And the indication they want to actually do this is.....?

Firing Thibs? According to rumours, he was the one that declined the 4 draft picks offer from the Rockets and preferred Covington and Saric. Now that he's gone, it might be a signal that the Wolves management finally decided to go rebuilding mode.

But if they just thought he sucked as a coach with this group it's just as easy to see their wanting to try to make the playoffs this season before operation get Gasol to blow up.

We don need a 3 and d sf if we’re going to play murray and white together at the starting 5

So basically Spurs can’t use Pau in such a trade for Covington bc of the salary difference? In addition to picks, would have to be Belli and Cunningham, or one of Mill or Gay.

Yes. My own proposal was Mills and 1st for Covington

"We" do because neither of them can defend big wings (sure, White did an admirable job on s bag for a game, but that's not sustainable) and a gimpy Gay, along with some minmal or fringe type, isn't enough.

The plan isn't to start Murray and White, it's to have White backup Murray. Think there's a good chance Forbes remains a starter for a while, but long term Walker projects as the answer.
