2016 NBA Trade Deadline

[sasaint]

If it's Diaw for Horford -parts included, you sign the papers faster than the blink of an eye, as simple as that. The only thing that would give me a pause is his supposed max salary contract demand next summer, but who knows if we can sell him the idea of signing somewhat less to assure the team more flexibility in terms of salary cap management.

Don't think Diaw and spare parts gets it done. Besides, unless Tim's knee is worse than we know, I'd rather try for a combo guard who is a good defender and is decent offensively.

I mean, kudos to Riley if he pulls this off. The biggest thing would be that Bosh instantly becomes a trade target. He's the best PF in the game, if you ask me, and he'd be a far superior front-court mate to LMA than anyone we've mentioned. And he's going to be wanting out by the summer.

The Kings don't really have picks, though, so the delegitimizes this rumor quite a bit.

Please, quit the "Bosh is the best PF in the league" narrative b/c he doesn't produce more than Millsap & all of his major advanced stats are inferior to Millsap. Yeah, he might be more talented & physically gifted but he DOESN'T actually play like it ala Rasheed (he's actually now emulating him by chuckin' up jumpers instead of using his foot speed & driving). Bosh has always been a terrible post defender & was hidden b/c of the Heats trapping defense that took advantage of his foot speed.

If Anthony Davis (who has a LOT of room for improvement on defense) played on the Hawks he would be tearing up the league instead his starting lineup has mostly consisted of Alonzo Gee, Norris Cole, Bryce Dejean-Jones, Omer Asik, Dante Cunningham. Besides, Holiday/Anderson the rest of the roster is crap anyways.

...Pop's recent comments are pretty intriguing. The Spurs have never knowingly played to be runner up. So, if we accept Pop's comments at face value, how far would the Spurs go to solve the "unsolvable"...

You just swallowed, digested and are about to Pop's bait if you took that comment at face value.

[Kawhitstorm]

Apparently..Winslow is holding up the potential three way trade between Heat/Rockets/Atlanta that involves among other Horford/Teague/Whiteside/Dwight..Hawks wants him but Riley won't give him up..

Why would they give up Winslow for Horford's expiring contract?

Teague

[KenziE]

Yawn

[Kawhitstorm]

Teague

Swapping Dragic with Teague isn't going to make that much of a difference, might as well have kept Chalmers if they wanted a spot-up shooter playing point guard.

[gambit1990]

tp for horford and schroder! do us another solid bud.

[Kawhitstorm]

A ton of talk here about the Raptors getting a PF, mostly talk about Thaddeus Young and Markieff Morris..some of these guys have legit, proven sources, too..

Casey won't use either of them properly, but still an upgrade over Scola/Patterson..

Markieff Morris playing in Canada? Dude is going to drive down to Michigan to sleepover w/ his twin.

[Kawhitstorm]

Green and Diaw for Shumpert?

Shumpert is just a tier above Simmons.

[SAGirl]

Maybe I did too. I really think Pop was sincere,although he hasn't revealed his ultimate plan.

I know, its a SpursTalk running joke..

[Kawhitstorm]

I have no idea how much Howard has left, tbh, despite watching plenty of Rockets ball, this season..

It's difficult to gauge how much of his inconsistency and declining defense is due to effort/team dysfunction vs. deterioration as a player..

Defensively, he has severely declined from his Orlando days (ala Ben Wallace in Chicago) but offensively he can still give you 20 a game if he's relatively healthy & they feed him the ball (ala Shaq w/ the Suns).

"Undeniably gettable"..Feels like Bucks could be low-balled for the "Curry stopper" ....not gonna enjoy seeing TP/Mills get raped on D..Do it RC

[HarlemHeat37]

I hate MCW's game, but he's a top 3 defensive PG in the NBA and still really young.. Would be a great backup PG, tbh..

[sasaint]

You just swallowed, digested and are about to Pop's bait if you took that comment at face value.

Much depends on the condition of Tim's knee and how many adjustments PATFO believe we need to make to solve "the unsolvable", taking Pop's comments at face value. (I know; I know... It could just be CIA Pop.)

Then, if Timmy's knee is good to go, we should concentrate on upgrading our backcourt defense not picking up another PF - as much as I like Horford.

What do you give up for him? Anderson has been discussed, but let's say Spurs want to keep him and/or MIl not interested since they already have young forwards with potential in Greek freak and Jabari. They probably want Patty for his shooting. I don't think RC pulls that trigger. Patty has been a spark in Manu's absence. Maybe bucks want Simms since he torched them and has shot the 3 (an issue for them)... I mean maybe they take Anderson but I don't think so. They will have a need at guard not forwards.

Edit: I think Patty would get it done but we'll be worse off. MCW just doesn't fit IMO unless you make that swap for Simmons.

[spursistan]

I hate MCW's game, but he's a top 3 defensive PG in the NBA and still really young.. Would be a great backup PG, tbh..

we have a legitimate and flagrant hole in that position..arguably much worse depth than in 2014..no Cojo/Manu coming off a delicate injury/Parker 2 years older, defenseless and extremely inconsistent/Mills can't playmake and susceptible to shooting droughts..Ray Mccaalyum getting playoffs minutes ..

[BatManu20]

Don't want MCW tbh. He can't shoot and is already 24. Not like he has a lot of upside.

Is really that good a defender? I know next to nothing about MCW. Obviously the 76ers didn't mind giving him up even after a ROY campaign. Why might be be headed to a third team in such a young career?

[T Park]

I'd take him. England can fix that jump shot within 2 years easily.

He's an awkward fit in the bucks bc he can't shoot, but neither can Jabari, or Antetoukoumpo. The only one who can shoot is Middleton. Since they will not trade Jabari or Antetoukoumpo they need a guard who can shoot, so they can run things through their forwards mire. They worked better with knight, who could shoot.
MCW did impress me defensively TBH, personally he has a lot of potential in that area, but he needs to be surrounded by shooting,which thinking about it our starting lineup has a lot of.

i would start patty. schroder would replace him off the bench. manu would still handle the ball more.
