Picks? Cash?
Too bad Spurs don’t have anything to offer the Clips for Milos.
Picks? Cash?
snell (3 years..meh) or wes johnson and i would be ok
If the Clippers can't pull off a trade (Teodosic and Evans for Arthur and a 2nd?) and don't want to cut Thornwell or Wallace, they might be willing to buyout or waive and stretch (somewhat cutting into their '19 cap space) Johnson.
If so, then Gasol for Teodosic, Marjanovic and Johnson (who'd be bought out or waived and stretched), makes sense. Would further destroy the Spurs perimeter defense, but buoy the offense and balance the roster.
Gasol for Snell, Dellavedova and a future lottery protected 1st (Suns own their '19 1st). Would put the Spurs into the tax and leave them somewhat thin at center, but balance the roster and add another long term asset.
I wonder if Spurs are still interested in Stanley Johnson -- Johnson/Calderon
**disregard Calderon can't be traded yet since he just signed with Pistons
Gasol isn't getting traded. I think he will be one of the best bigs off the bench this year. He is overpaid, but that's done. Trading him for other overpaid player like Snell is just plain ignorant.
For now, more than likely not.
What's ignorant, is you not seeing the forest from the trees. It's not about Snell (lacks confidence, defensive ap ude is mostly theoretical and a 2.5, not the more needed 3.5), it's about the pick and roster balance.
Would you rather the likes of Aminu, Ariza, Carroll for the MLE next off season or a younger type, a pick, a stopgap PG and paving the way for Aldridge and Gay to move back to their modern positions? I'll take the latter.
My favorite feasible Gasol trade though, is still him and Cunningham (eligible December 15th) for Harkless, Leonard and a lottery protected 1st.
Snell is a poisonous contract. There's no benefit to acquiring him for a pick. The Spurs aren't rebuilding. They don't need cap space next year, but they shouldn't sell it for future value
I wouldn't trade Gasol for Ariza or Carrol or Aminu or Snell. You can't talk about balance when we have 3 rotational bigs in the team. If we had all our guards, then a guard should be traded for a wing. But we lost 3 guards. So there goes that plan.

Spurs will be looking to make trades all year now. They will have to at least explore given the MASH unit they trot out already.
Dodged a bullet, tbh.
As thin as the PG position is right now, an over-the-hill, trigger-happy Crawford was not the solution.
thanks God
The Clippers have traded Wes Johnson to the Pelicans for Alexis Ajinca, per league sources. @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium
Oh Daniel...
He may be right. Siakam would be our starting SF and 4th best player. While there he is behind Leonard, Green, Anunoby etc
Not talking about this year's Spurs team of course, but that 13-14? Idk.
Toronto has a ton of talent. I think the Spurs of '14 were pretty stacked and had more top tier talent, but Toronto has a very talented bunch. They should challenge Boston...probably should have beat Cleveland last year if their nutsacks hadn't shriveled facing Lebron. They should have one game one, and after choking away that game, they progressively folded after that.
At PG, Frazier or Evans probably make the most sense. They should be looking at Reed (possible 3 and D wing) on a two-way though. Suns will trade or waive today.
That's going too far. He's a youngish, 3 and (mostly theoretical) D wing. They generally either have currency or are one decent season away from regaining it. Look no further than the perception of Carroll and Bazmore two seasons ago compared to last season.
At the very least, they're re-loading. The more picks and prospects they ac ulate, the better the chance of striking gold either with them or in a package for something of significance. What the Raptors just pulled is an extreme example, but an example all the same.
After this season, Aldridge and Poeltl will more than likely comprise the center rotation for the foreseeable future. Sure, it would be ideal to have better depth than Metu and Eubanks, but that's not a big enough issue to supersede the pick and roster balance at positions where it's more important to have depth nowadays.
By seasons end he gonna the guy that's not playing when they realize his shot is broken and his offense is non existent
Future Spur Tim Frazier
we can call him Tiny Tim.
Future Spur Jodie Meeks
Wait, so Jodie Meeks + second round pick + cash to Milwaukee for what exactly? And he's getting cut?
Danny already playing for that next contract...
