It’s unlikely but I saw some articles saying Aaron Gordon is being shopped around, id love to see him traded to the spurs
get him. I just don't see the Spurs having anything of value except for the Raptors pick. What would the package be? Pau, Forbes and the Raptors pick? That doesn't sound like a good deal at all.
But then again, what exactly is Orlando looking for? I mean it seems like they try to trade everybody and cap space doesn't help them cause no big time free agent wants to sign with the Magic
Orlando is a mess. They historically don't develop players very well-- guys like Oladipo & Tobias Harris improved dramatically after leaving. They don't draft well, and haven't hit a home run in the draft in over a decade of mostly lottery picks.
The only guy that seems to have actually developed into something is Vucevic, who is a legit all star this year, and now it looks like they're on the fence about keeping him. All of Vucevic's numbers this year are incredible-- traditional stats, advanced stats, +/-, etc... My bet is they don't trade him, and he leaves this summer in free agency as the best under-the-radar non-max contract move for some team.
Zach Lowe hinted that the spurs might go after Gordon but, he didn't explain how. I think that's where the gordon stuff is coming from.
im not sure what we’d offer but say the spurs did offer both first round picks that would be really valuable to them, 1st round picks are worth a of a lot to teams, Throw in pau too.magic get 2 picks and save some money. I doubt it happens though, I sense the spurs wanna hold onto their picks
I do think pau + both picks + filler would get it done. I'm not sure I'd pay that but I might...
spurs need to dump dd, mills, paus contract...
Mavs will probably unload Barnes and go hard after Vuc. They have zero rebounding.
Doncic
Hardaway
Finney-Smith
Porzingis
Vucevic
2 picks for Aaron Gordon is way too much tbh. 2 firsts (especially ones that are so close to the actual draft where it is clearer where those picks might land) are too valuable in today's NBA.
I think the Spurs might be interested but more in the window shopping kinda way.
I 'd rather offer Toronto pick and Spurs 2020 pick. I mean if we draft a SF this year we'd have Murray, White, Walker, 2019 pick, Poeltl, Metu, Bertans and Gordon is only 23. That would actually make ton of sense and Gordon's salary actually goes down for the next 4 seasons.
This board is full of a bunch of dried up pussys. We don’t need two low end picks right now. These low picks are not NBA ready and have to be developed over years. Demar and LMA got maybe two prime years left. Not a fan of Aaron Gordon, but the idea of trading our garbage contract Gasol with two low end picks is not ludicrous. Spurs won’t do it because Gasol’s f’ing feeling may be hurt. They’ll waive and stretch him per the original plan from two years ago.
Toronto pick, a 2nd, an exciting young cheap starter of a western playoff team named Bryn Forbes and Pau’s contract. That’s a solid offer if you’re dealing with a franchise like Magic.
2 first rounders is way too much
That would be pretty sweet to have a line up of Murray white, DeMar, Gordon, LA. With Rudy, Davis, and walker subbing in
Gordon sucks. He's soft and inconsistent. I don't think we need an overpaid PF that doesn't play defense. His raw numbers are nothing eye popping, which is even more disappointing because he plays on a bad team and has the greenlight, and his advanced stats are pretty unflattering. Not a great shooter, not great at the line, ok rebounder for his position. He does pass decently but it's not enough. Hard pass.
ST always has an infatuation with names over actual fit and need. I mean wtf do we need PGs or PFs for? Spurs need SFs period.
I think you are way out of touch bro, you're massively undervaluing how teams see first rounders
Heartily endorse!
So he can’t play wing?
him then ))) I’m calling the cheap exciting starter of western playoff team named Forbes offer off the table
Orlando is one of the most unwatchable franchises through the last 5 years or so. Kudos to those who watched a lot of Gordon
Truth bomb. I'd rather bring Simmons back.
Silly me wants to raise banners in San Antonio instead of Austin. Good luck with picks 20 and 26.
Gordon is a SF. SF and PF there's not a big difference right now between the 2. He's mobile enough to play the 3. The guy is only 23 and is locked up for 4 years with decreasing salary. In 21/22 he'll earn 16 million. Playing for the Spurs would do wonders for his development and he fits the timeline of our young core while also filling a need right now
FKLA - Simmons sucks bro. It truly was an amazing story and he had a lot of good moments. But he’s a below average player and has no place in SA lineup.
Terrence Ross seems to be available for 2 2nd rounders. I'd like the Spurs to take a chance on that deal
If they would take Mills for him I would give them TOR first.
What happened is that PFs became centers and SFs are playing PF. PFs didn't starting playing the three. You can argue that Gordon makes sense as a power-forward, but he isn't an answer at the three. I do think folks are hating on him too much and that he could be good for the Spurs. But the things that have prevented him from playing the three so far in his career are still there. Two firsts is a whole lot to give up for a guy who isn't going to be a core piece going forward.
