Realistic trade partners for LA/Derozan

[weebo]

Much easier to get rid of Pop. You don't think a player's coach like Ty Lue could have them balling out. Look at what Kawhi's doing with the Raptors. Pop seems to work his magic best with scrubs but good players tend to not play to their potential under him.

Just stop please...

[Nathan89]

Nobody is touching either of those guys without absolutely bending over the Spurs......

Pop and RC were shook AF after the Nephew debacle, there's no way they would even consider trading them unless they requested it (please god, I hope they do)...

The FO made the conscious decision that they're okay with first round exit ceilings as long as the fat fans continue to support them and not hold them accountable for anything......

To be fair, it's a good bet since they are the only game in town. They can still put out a mediocre product and loser fans will say it was still a successful season......

Spurs got bent over to trade the best player in the NBA. Can't imagine what it would take to trade DeRozan and LMA. Talking Nets level trade blunder.

[Nathan89]

The Lakers are stupid enough.

If they surround LeBron with mid-range shooters.

[spursistan]

Does anyone think a team that strikes out in free agency get desperate and call for either of them? (really hope Lakers are still dumb enough to inquire)

I'm just sick and tired of this Aldridge-Derozan outlook for the next two years.. It is pure insanity and sheer incompetence to proceed ahead with the two as your core in in' 2019..

I can’t stand LA wanting to play his style of jumpshot but ignore the defense side. Instead of jumpshots, play defense. You can’t tell me we play better defense with LA when we give up 100+ pts every night. LA needs to go or focus more on defense. I’m starting to wonder does he not watch his games or does he just look at stats only. Jakob and Rudy at the 4 would be way better in terms of moving the ball and cohesiveness.

[Slippy]

DDR lack of outside shot hurts this teams offense and also hurts LaMarcus offense. You really cant have both as your main offensive weapons. If they keep DdR, makes sense to trade LA. Teams will just pack the paint and dare Demar, DJ and derrick to keep shooting.

[Slippy]

Just realize in trading LA . You trading a guy that is an inside presense that also commands double team.

[spursistan]

Not to mention, these two ers are borderline uncoachable..

It is in' 2019. When will their loser asses wise up and work on their 3-point shot? It is frankly embarrassing their refusal to play basketball outside their comfort zones..

I hold off on thinking about the next season until this season is over so I haven't really given it much thought yet.

My first reaction to the game yesterday was ditch Derozan, Aldridge and Gay, their performance in the first half was that horrible. Then I also realized we are not even in the playoff without those guys. They are the top three players on the team this season. White had his moments but he was hurt and inconsistent. Murray doesn't count for this season because he was out.

I have high hopes for the three young guards but it really is just optimism at this point. Murray has to show us what he has post injury. White needs to shows us more consistency. Walker 4 has to show us what he has.

I am just rambling at this point but I think Forbes actually needs to be in the starting line up if you keep Derozan and have either Murray or White as the starting point guard. He is the only real three point threat to stretch the floor especially if Murray and Derozan are on the floor at the same time.

Gay looks like a crap shoot with his body holding up. Derozan would be better next year after a year in the system. Aldridge is still strong but I agree he and DDR are not a good pair on the floor together since they are both midrange shooters.

I would hope Bellinelli and Patty can be gone next season and maybe they could be filler in a LMA DDR trade.

At the end of the day, the team never really had a true small forward and Murray was out all season.

It's going to be an interesting off season.

Oh by the way, the other thread about firing Pop, Pop was not missing layups and dunks and chip shots in the first half of the game yesterday. And it is true, he would still be a Pomona Pitzer coach without Duncan and TP/Manu but so what. Phil Jackson wouldn't be without players either. There are some good coaches that nobody knows about because they had a crummy roster. When Pop had a great roster, he did well. Who was the Bulls coach before Phil Jackson? Rambling again but a good coach can be invisible on a terrible team but a bad coach can suck for a great team.

[objective]

I've posted it before, but I'm serious

Aldridge and White for Evan Turner, Meyers Leonard and a pick

Pop will get rid of White. When he sours on someone that hard, they're gone, sooner or later. Hedo, Green, Nazr, Dedmon, Beno. Add White to the list. Might take a year, might take 2. But he's dead to Pop.

Murray coming back with White is too much a threat to Mills and his minutes.

Mills IS the Spurs.

He will be preserved.

Shhhhh. They're on such a roll of making tbemselves look stupid. Please...

[DavidTheGoliath]

In real life, our front office would laugh the Spurs off the phone.

Your FO is too kind if they just laugh it off

[GusT15]

Your FO is too kind if they just laugh it off

[K...]

spurs lose and y'all MFer's get dumber? Go outside now!

[SouthTexasRancher]

First off who will take either one. Portland maybe for LMA but, who do we get?

DD might land in LA but, again who do we get in return. Probably going to be a 3 way trade for either.

[BillMc]

If they surround LeBron with mid-range shooters.

[apalisoc_9]

Why doesnt NBA follow the soccer formula and allow tades between different leagues?

Its ridiculous.

Id probably trade belli and patty to the Gunadong Dragons for some egg rollls and rice tbh.

[slick'81]

None.both will b here next season

[Clipper Nation]

Why doesnt NBA follow the soccer formula and allow tades between different leagues?

Because if Spurtacular ever somehow got a job in the NBA, he'd trade the entire team to China for Jimmer.
