Spurs:
delone wright SF
meyers leonard C
allen crabbe SG
portland:
matt bonner
danny green
cory joseph
aron baynes
All the players for portland aren't getting much playing time. but all three bring length and athleticism.
delone wright is a 6'9" SF that is very good at the corner 3. he also has good athleticism. he is already a backup, so he fits that role for us too. can also play the 4 in small ball
meyers leonard is falling out of favor in portland. he is behind lopez and aldridge and robinson and joel freeland. He can come in and learn behind timmy.
allen crabbe is a kid i liked in the draft. he has sneaky athleticism. but he is avery good shooter.
why does portland do it? they get a stretch 4. a very good 3 point shooter to pair with mathews at he 2 spot. a young backup PG to play behind lillard. and a big physical guy.
PG- parker, mills, decolo
SG- bellineli, manu, crabbe
SF- leonard, wright, thomas
PF- duncan diaw, thomas
C- splitter, leonard, ayres
and now we also have an open spot ont he roster again.
Morey managed to finish some of the more spectacular GM moves of the last years, so he is a guy who, at least sometimes, knows what he is doing.
@ Rockets and Morey.
I'm sure there will have a great atmosphere when Asik will come back from his injury and play again with Rockets. Well played...
but this time he clearly overplayed his cards and what was once thought to be a genious strategy (the structure of the Asik offer the Bulls eventually didn't match) backfires big time.
even in this league you won't find someone who takes this contract off your hands AND delivers a pick. usually you have to include the pick to make other teams listen. the Rockets overrated Asik when the prayed him away from Bulls and the overrated him in the last weeks hyped "the 19th Dec. decission". he even isn't that good on D (not Tyson Chandler good) and he is a Diva. 15 million plus the drama for some rebounds. common.
but good for us. the Asik disaster will keep the Rockets from becoming a Western contender. thx.
I am not willing to give too much credit to Morey. I think he has only made as many moves as possible to take Houston out of a mess of its own creation - guaranteed mediocrity since its inability to recover from Ming's premature retirement. IN such moves, there has been too many random movement as well, in the Jeremy Lin & Omer Asik signings and while the Harden/Howard signings have been relatively successful, they aren't still enough for his team to reach a position of championship contention despite striking so well in free agency.
People should judge the Rockets on the basis of results and not just on Morey's reputation. Thus far, his performance has been middling, not any spectacular.
Morey is just the flavor of the month, like Presti and Pritchard before him. Everyone needs to remember what the Houston roster looked like just before the Harden trade. Morey had made a series of moves last summer that resulted in a horribly unbalanced roster destined for another 9th place finish in the conference. It was only when Presti came to his rescue by offering Harden for pennies on the dollar that things changed. Morey gets credit for parlaying his incredible good fortune with Harden into making Houston a possible destination for Howard, but without Presti's bonehead handling of an extremely valuable asset the Rockets are still a mediocre team trying to sneak into playoffs.
I still think Asik is traded soon. I think Morey is bluffing on the "well just keep him for now" talk. He wants to move him ASAP.
Who would be stupid enough to buy Asik? The guy is pretty solid defensively but he's an offensive void who can't hit free throws.
He wants to trade him ASAP, but he overplayed his hand as mountainballer pointed out. Now he has to lower expectations towards the sort of package teams get from salary dumps.
There's a lot of teams stupid enough tbqh. This is the NBA.
Brooklyn would, but they have no assets to make the deal.
Ok trying to get a little more creative to get MKG since Green alone may not do the trick...
The idea is to use Bonner and De Colo to absorb a ty contract from a team that will send a pick to Charlotte in exchange... That way the Spurs don't too much with the future and still get the player they HAVE to get...
Something like :
Spurs get : Nash + MKG
Lakers get : Bonner + De Colo + 3rd scrub
Charlotte get : Green + one pick from each team
Nash doesn't with the 2 years plan, Spurs become an elite small ball team as well as big team and win a championship...
Spurs need to shake this up. Buddy, buddy chemistry off the court isn't going to win you a championship. You need to produce on the court, otherwise get some players with toughness and a little bit of athletic ability.
Trade EVERYONE for picks and Steph Curry
Parker for jameer nelson tbh
BENCH MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A OREB DREB REB AST STL BLK TO PF +/- PTS Alexis Ajinca, C 11 1-2 0-0 0-0 4 3 7 1 0 1 3 3 +1 2
right now in his debut vs Blazers
Paul Millsap signed for two years 19mill with Atlanta... Monta Ellis signed a similar deal, as did Tyreke Evans...
Instead of s ing out some money, we once again penny pitch. The Spurs fan and organization are gonna be in for a rude awakening when they realize how lucky they've been these past two decades by landing Duncan and Robinson.
There seems no place for Matt Bonner in this team anymore. He is now absolutely one-dimensional and is practically useless and a $4 million black hole for the Spurs.. The Spurs must work between now and the trade deadline to get a tall SF/ backup PF. Thats all.
I think were one more Reliable scorer away from a championship tbh..
Too bad Spurs front office has been a joke. Belli wanted to come here but outside of that they've failed to do anything to improve their chances to win. Spurs stand pat yet "experiment" with lineups even though it's roughly the same team from last year. Ayres is a joke, Bonner is a Spur for life, and we will lack athleticism and current gen prototype nba player till Tim walks away.
Bonner for Mbah a Moute tbh..
Bonner for Luis Scola, tbh.
Bonner for Roy Hibbert, tbh.
I opened this thread expecting that it was something someone had bumped from 2009...
