Man, I swear if you see a white 3 point shooter you automatically want him on the Spurs.
There's zero reason to go after a player like Korver. We already have Belli and hopefully he gets less time this year. We don't need another.
The players they got, Korver is on his last legs, Crowder is meh and will probably regress next year, he had a few good years in Boston and that was the end of that, Allen terrible. The picks are what they are, late first, not much imo. Nobody won with this trade because i don't see Utah doing more than what they did this year and Memphis got out of the contract but they will still be terrible for a few years so whatever.

utah is now better. portland will be better with a healthy nuk. mavs will be better with a healthy porz.
i like how much movement there is these days. for as long as i’ve been a fan i always thought more shakeups / gambles should be made.
raps, bucks, 6ers, even the mavs last year, utah now.
where you at rc? maybe a bar since it’s lunchtime...
I said in my pre season thread that I wanted Bertans for Crowder. I think Bertans is better and I wouldn't give a pick up.
i read utah can clear cap space by trading exum and waiving favors. they should do that and go after horford.
conley
mitc
ingles
horford
gobert
people expecting the Spurs to make deals to make the team better?![]()
stop crying es, we have Bryn Forbes!
I'm just glad the Spurs stayed away from this one. I saw an article that we were linked to this trade as a possible destination. Something about trading away a few young prospects (presumably DJ, White, IV or some combination there of) in an effort to clear up the backcourt log jam and give LA and DDR a third fringe all-star creating a poor man's big 3 in a last push for Pop to ring
I’ll trade Mills & 19 for Crowder & 23.
But probably takes more to get off of two years of Mills’ salary vs. Crowder being expiring. Also numbers don’t quite work.
CJ Miles straight up for Mills would work.
Guess the offer last year was this : Ricky Rubio, Derrick Favors, a first-round pick and a second-round pick,
Deal killer was Memphis wanted Exum. Utah refused.
Good move for Memphis with Morant ready to go.
So, you're bringing in a vet, All Star, All Defense caliber PG, and you won't give up Exum?
No, I didn't want Beli, tbh.
Great move for Utah. Conley would give them experience, but getting old and injury prone. Memphis still rebuilding and Crowder could be had. I’d give our 29th pick
At the Spurs. Despite the picks falling well into the 20s, the Grizzlies extracted more draft capital (and will probably get more by rerouting Crowder) out of an in conference team, for an undersized, aging, injury prone, top 30 player on a bloated contract, than the Spurs did from an out of conference team, for the exact archetype most coveted currently, with an underpaid top 5 player in their early prime.
It's a good move for the Jazz, but even with the league looking more wide open at the moment than at any point in recent memory, they're not contenders yet. I'm skeptical they would be even if they sign Mirotic (which could cost Favors, further stripping them of their depth) because of the lack of a superstar.
There isn't a realistic move they could make to become a real contender..a team with Gobert/Mitc /Ingles and a great system is too good to become a lottery team, though, so might as well give it a shot..
I agree. I was alluding to the media pretending they're in the mix now though.
Depending on who they get at PF + how they replenish their depth, they could win mid-high 50s games next season . . . only to inevitably be out (super)stared by someone in the playoffs.
This is one of those moves that doesn't move the needle for both teams tbh. Memphis got nothing outside of the picks, the players they got are either done, about to be done or scrubs, you decide who is who, its easy. Utah got Conley but their timing was bad because its the Lakers window and then Conley is about to face father time. Its a nothing move unless those very late picks turn out to be steals of the draft, very low possibility.
Fair point.
Great trade for Memphis, the future pick looks amazing considering its protection. Utah paid through the nose, wonder who they were bidding against.
Nothing outside the picks? The are exactly what they wanted. They got 2 firsts - 23 and a future pick that will likely convey as only top 6 protected in the deepest draft ever. They also got Crowder who they could flip for another pick, Grayson who’s a first round pick on a rookie contract and a sizeable TE that they could use to absorb a contract with yet another pick attached to it - see what Atlanta got for taking on Crabbe’s expiring.
No team has risen miles above the rest. This makes Utah better...I suppose. Memphis will still be mediocre. LA may now have Davis, but that team is sh!t after Kuzma. That will be a hard roster to round out. And with an aging Lebron and an injury-prone Davis, they're just one tweaked joint away from missing the playoffs...again. Dallas will be better, but I'm not sure how much. We probably will have a bunch of teams bunched between 2 and 11 in the West. Might be the tightest conference standings in years. A couple of 50+ win teams and a bunch in the mid-40s.
I'm hoping the Spurs can find their chemistry and fill their gaps from last season because if they can they have a legit chance to be compe ive in the West.
Crowder is not good. Do you people even watch teams other than the Spurs? I'm pretty sure his stats are terrible too.
Spurs should have acquired Conley. Need a dribbling guard to take the pressure off those short forwards.
I'd want Crowder on the Spurs, but no way in would I give up a 1st round pick to get him. Maybe Belinelli and a 2nd rounder
