The Rockets are prepared to offer a package that includes FOUR first-round picks to the Timberwolves for Jimmy Butler, reports ESPN.
Have to think outside the box, trade Pau to a team trying to shed salary like Portland for Harkless/ Leonard + 1st makes a lot of sense. TD21 mentioned this.
Spurs eat 17 mil in salary one more year for the 19/20 season, but they get a 1st. Harkless could also be a nice two way role player in the rotation. Both have deals that expire summer of 20.
Id attach Poeltl, the Portland or Raptors pick to Mills to dump him for an expiring.

Sell what lol. DeRozan? LMA? Other than that they have no assets. Murray and Walker maybe, but we wouldn't get anything great for them. Maybe a 1st or 2nd round pick respectively, which would be worse gambles than what they already are. Face it, we're in purgatory until we get rid of Mills/Gasol, and now Forbes probably too.
He would be a huge huge huge upgrade at that position, basically last year's Ariza (defense, 3s) + offense. But 4 1sts? That's overpaying.
I'd absolutely do it if Jimmy is for sure gone in the summer. Remind all of ourselves of the terrible Brooklyn Nets/Boston deal... Still paying off.
It really upsets me that the Spurs went for a paltry win now package for Kiwi when I think about the terrible team they now have.
If they're committed to paying even more tax, then good for them
Better than cheap ass Spurs who played around with not paying Kawhi the max and are frightened of any tax
I doubt it, but no way to trade him. He's too good to give away, but at his age, Spurs would unlikely not be able to unload him for assets that are worth letting him go. They would have to be in total tank mode and this team is not tanking under Pop. He already did that once. He won't do it to end his career, though it would be ironic if he started his career and ended his career tanking so he could get a franchise changing player.
LMA is cancerous... He definitely needs to go... Plus he always chokes in the playoffs... Gasol needs to go... Mills needs to go... Forbes needs to go... We need a huge overhaul... What we have is first round fodder
I know he doesn't, I was just poking fun at the OP because iirc his sources said LMA was going to be traded and that he wanted out.
Hope they do this and optimize assets heading into the next two summers.
Do people here still think this pathetic team is playoff bound?
Its only december.
Not anyone with half a brain.
They aren’t far off as we speak and honestly they have more reason to believe they can get more than they have shown than many of the teams around them.
Especially if LMA plays better and White continues to blossom.
Well, at least you were right about Forbes being better than Patty.
This is why you don't overreact, especially in December. Heck they finished that month strong too.
This season (and last for that matter) were like no season weve seen. I'm glad they're playing well at the right time
From Sfgate.com article on Warriors/Spurs:
"San Antonio has beaten Golden State, Denver, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Portland and Detroit during its streak. All of those clubs are among the top six teams in their conference."
They were complimentary to say the least.
TS another poster always wrong.
Not sure if you've noticed, but its an entirely different team than the first 2 months of the season. Different rotations, different players. And with their recent run, Pop is depending less on Patty/Forbes. There's never been a season like this as long as I can remember where the lows are rock bottom and the highs are as high as they are right now. It was very reasonable to be pessimistic experiencing the very bottom in the beginning of the season and after the rodeo road trip.
This team has played very poorly without Derrick White. He's the key.
This season has been wild. And here we are today as the 5th seed, a game behind the 3rd seed and a game away from the 8th seed.
But yes, Forbes is a better player than Patty. And Derrick is also blossoming.
Also, read the first post again, I talked about IF they were out of playoff contention. IF. Comprehension can be a very tough thing to get, I know.

The OP is a moron who overreacted when Derrick White was drafted too.
Correct. I had a hard on for Jordan Bell. And am happily wrong for that. However, I quickly warmed up to Derrick and said he was the best guard on the team last year.
Moron? Haha thanks.
but it wouldn't be ST if not for all the hyperbole and cliff jumpers.
Read the original post again. It was discussion based on IF they were out of playoff contention. It's amazing how many people can't read.
What is the saying? The internet has receipts, well message boards do too, say something outlandish or just plain wrong best believe someone will dig it up to beat you over the head with it, later. Lord knows I have been guilty of it, I used to dig up old Dabom posts, but realized he liked the attention and was more trolling than trying to prove a point.
