NBA Trade Deadline 2019

[exstatic]

If you reread my original post you would see I don’t really like Gordon. This idea of pearl clutching whenever the idea of trading a draft pick for a known NBA quan y is specifically annoying to me.

He’s an overpaid tweener F who never developed, but he got paid anyway. If you don’t like Gordon, you’re the one pearl clutching by reflexively taking a position.

Both Pelicans and Spurs.

Demar doesn't do anything for the Pels (assuming Davis and Holiday are gone) & Holiday is local, liked, and cheaper... As it stands, they are tanking again.

There is no fit with SAS, as this makes their roster overload at the 1 - 2 even worse, while making 3 a bigger hole... SAS isn't in Lux tax trouble if they keep Demar, so there is very little point to such a trade.

Meh, Holiday would do a better job guarding opposing SF's than DeRozan, so I don't see this whole "hole at SF" thing.

I would do Holiday for DeRozan in a heartbeat, tbh. But I'm sure neither Pop nor NOLA would even consider the possibility.

[Degoat]

Who reported any thing on Aaron Gordon? Or just thoughts

I think zach Lowe mentioned the spurs being interested in an article, I think it was pure speculation on his part and no actual source of knowledge

[DAF86]

Spurs have guys to guard James already, and Gordon isn't checking Davis better than Aldridge does.

Like who? Gay? And please, don't say Cunningham.

Cun, Gay and DeRozan. It's like no one watched the games this year. No one's gonna shut down Lebron, and no defensive gameplan should be based on doing so. But someone can play their assignment, make James go where the D wants him to and come down with the rebounds. That's more than someone like Carroll has been able to do, and you don't give up two picks and pay $80 Million hoping that Gordon can learn to do it.

I'm not advocating for Gordon specifically, tbh. And I know nobody is going to completely stop Lebron but it would nice to have somebody that would be able to limit him to less than 37 ppg on 60% shooting, tbh.

For his career, James has averaged 28ppg on 51-percent shooting against the Spurs. Last year, he went for 31 on 50-percent shooting. This year, he got 36 on 53-percent shooting. The Spurs have gotten him for a game or two, but it's not like he's consistently been held down by the team over the years. He had that one game where he went full video game to beat the Spurs. Otherwise, the team worked their game plan really well this year.

I'm not so sure holiday or mirotic will work, a much better fit is vucevic from Orlando magic, he is a free agent this summer.

[FkLA]

Honestly, who cares about LeGOAT this season. The main worry (if contending is the goal) should be who to throw at Curry-Thompson-Durbeta. White-Green-Nephew would've been the absolute perfect trio to defend them but that autistic got had to go and it all up. ing piece of .

[FkLA]

You should make the thread le longer. It's too short.

[Ron Swanson]

You should make the thread le longer. It's too short.

It's kinda vague, too.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I'm pretty confused about what your saying. I think you should add more info in the thread le to fix the problem

[Spurch]

Sorry this was supposed to be a reply to another thread. I'm new here so I'm still making mistakes using the forum lol

[Play Boban]

He’s going to Dallas tbqh.

[DAF86]

No, Vucevic isn't a better fit than Holiday or Mirotic. Not with Aldridge on the team.

[Dverde]

Well who do you want the Spurs to ship 2 picks and Gasol to, and for whom? You can't complain that posters value first rounders too much and then not offer up a deal where it would make sense to do so.

Yes, I can complain, this is what we do on Spurstalk. I have no problem trading a pick or two if it helps us this year and next. Are you saying you wouldn’t?

You busted me. I’m the pearl clutcher. Well played!

[R to the P McMurphy]

If the Spurs could get Gordon for their 2 in the 20s first rounders, plus someone to match contracts, you do that . Watched a ton of Gordon in college and he was a beastly defender back then. He's long, athletic, his 3 pt shot has increased every damn year on the magic, and he's still only 23 or so. If Pop/spurs got a hold of gordon and worked their developmental magic, my god, it gives me wood thinking about what he could become.

[phxspurfan]

So the Spurs should go for the old Twin Towers system again, in the age of the 6'5" tweener?

[cjw]

Stop it with this Simmons love. He doesn’t belong in the NBA. He had a nice run a few years ago in the playoffs, but there are way better options out there that don’t have any money attached to them next season.

I doubt the Magic give up Aaron Gordon for two crappy first round picks. It is the Magic though so you never know. Gordon did take a paycut by accepting a contract that decreases over time so they could chase bigger free agents going forward. If they were smart they would trade Ross to any team willing to take Mozgov’s contract. This would free them up to have a single max slot for next year.

They did trade Oladipo for a 28 going on 40 year old Serge Ibaka.

[BWS-1994]

It’s a probably a long shot, but if they’re after a Magic player, I think Jonathan Isaac will be better.

White was actually the guy I wanted to start at PG going into last season. I just thought he fit best with that unit as a scorer who could take the play-making burden from Leonard but also defend his position. This White for sure would have completed that unit.

I don’t care what he did or looked like in college. He’s not in college anymore. He’s on his second contract in the NBA, a contract that pays him 8 figures every year. His game hasn’t really improved, and frankly, what incentive does he have to work on it? He’s in the NBA, and got his big contract. The problem with high draft picks that don’t shine is that their teams hang onto them WAY too long, and by the time they are ready to move on, they’re overpaid and under developed. Smart teams don’t give up multiple first rounders and pay like 4/$80M hoping that he develops. That’s the recipe to become the Knicks.
