From Kevin Durant to Keith Bullock. Damn.
So NY only has 18M in cap space now - not enough to absorb DeRozan any longer. Would need to send salary back in any deal now.

Not happening

Fair to say that whatever possible trade scenario people look for they should consider players on a 2-year contract, even if they’re a bit overpaid. Spurs looking to have cap space in 2021, depending on contract extensions for Murray, Poeltl and White.
If Kawhi leaves Toronto trade DD back to the Raptors for Powell & a first round pick.
Yeah that makes it tough, especially since the spurs are already at 15 slots. Can’t really take back more than one player.
we don't need other guards...in case (considering Siakam is untouchable) we could consider Anunoby (the only one with no role in the championship) and one or two first...then Raptors can try to fill the forwaeds void with the Morris twins...
Ny just signed Wayne Ellington too - so now they really have very little cap space left.
Yes, but they are signing players on our timeline (2 year deals). It would have to wait until January but, there could still be an option with NY if we like a pick plus one of the PF's they signed. Randle or Portis?
Maybe Clips or Lakers interested in DDR if they whiff on Kawhi. Wishful thinking I suppose
DDR is going to be a Spurs next season. No real reason to trade him unless the Spurs get a great asset in return, but why would someone trade us something better than he is?
Id be ok with that but would need more only cause derozan averages more points unless they could absorb a patty contract. Haven't ch caked there cap.
Marginally the Spurs are better off keeping DeRozan than moving him before the 2019-20 season. Unless Pop feels up to the challenge of psychoanalyzing Westbrook for a couple seasons and the Spurs feel like being on the hook for $85 mil after the 2021 offseason.
Never has the West felt more wide open even with both LA franchises having put together superstar duos this summer. A lot of this has to do with Durant leaving the Bay Area and heading to the East. The Spurs realistically are closer to being contenders again than they’ve been since Zaza whatever closed out on a Nephew jumper in Game 1 of the 2017 WCF with the Spurs up by 20.
IMO the Spurs are one move away, but what is there?
You could argue that the Spurs offer to take back a bad contract using Mills and/or Bellinelli to offer a prospective trade partner cap relief within the next two seasons. The Spurs could conceivably take back a contract(s) totaling up to $18 mil in salary if they did that and retain DeRozan.
I agree, I think the Spurs are close, but I'm not sure what move they can make. I think if they can trade Derozan for someone that fits better that is at least an All-Star caliber player, they have a real shot. You are also probably right they'd have to take on a bad contract to get that said player. Not sure about a trade for Westbrook, though. Not a huge fan of his stat padding (disgusted actually) and stupid decisions on the court (pull up 3s and driving recklessly into the paint).
I also want to mention that I still say, that there is two players in the NBA that I think Pop can get the best out of and take their games to their highest levels to match their talent 1. Russell Westbrook and the other was 2. Demarcus Cousins (pre-injury). I think if those two were to buy in, Pop would be the right type of coach to push them to reach their max level and make them come close to realizing their highest potential. A soft coach can't push guys like that IMO, but also a coach that is too harsh will also lose guys like that, so I think you need someone like Pop that is balanced to get the best out of them.
You also never know, if they keep DeMar, they may still have a chance with him if he improves and is somehow able to take his game to the next level in his second year in the system.

Getting Butler for DeRozan would have been a great move.
When? Before Butler left the Sixers? It's too late for that now. Why even bring that up. What's your opinion on trading DeMar now, or at least before the trade deadline?
Butler is a much worse player than DDR. He's done nothing in the league and is a ball-dominant malcontent.
I have been saying this back when Butler was on the Wolves and people laughed at me.
Suck my . I'd far rather have DDR than Jimmy Butler, who can't stay on even ty teams like Minnesota because he's a farkwad and people wind up hating him. DeRozan at least is a loyal, good dude.
But Mr Body he’s got name recognition! That MATTERS!!!!
Butler just took Kawhi to a last minute game 7 winning shot.
In which aspect of the game is DeRozan suppossed to be much better than Butler? Scoring, shooting, defense?
Blind homers unite!!!
Jimmy Butler is probably the most overrated player in the league, if DeMarcus Cousins wasn't in it.
