I'd have bought low on him if we still had Chip. If he could teach Kawhi a jumpshot he could teach anyone. But without him that jumper looks hopeless.
Not a bad thought... it have to be a team that want to play fast and run... I could see somebody trying to pair him with Ja or maybe Scoot. Of ot were Portland it's probably part of a bigger deal involving Grant and/or Brogdon going somewhere

I wouldn't mind signing him this summer for a couple of years to space the floor and give some decent minutes as well as to be a veteran presence to challenge our draft picks, and then see where that goes. I just don't want all young guys. That's what you want when you don't have a real building block, you tank to find one or hope against hope one of your kids breaks out. But now with a franchise guy in tow I hate seeing the Spurs still act like they're Dave Kingman stepping to the plate instead of trying to be Ricky Henderson.
Thunder had lottery picks out the ass because they were ass for a long time. They got lucky with SGA and used the #2 pick and got Giddey and Williams pretty well. The Spurs tanked for literally one year, otherwise they have two late lottery picks on the roster and that's it.
Bonner/Blair/2 SRP/Forbes for SGA
He's definitely going to need veys, but I doubt Hayward can be signed in the offseason. I figure he'll ring chase...but we will need a few vets... I hope at least one is a starting level guy.
Ask Rubio to come out of retirement. He would be a good vet for this team.
I like OPs idea of playing facilitator in a Bulls-Laker trade for Lavine. I’d rather get the distant Laker FRP than Reeves though, plus I think LAL wants to keep Reeves to go long with the other 3.
He has mental health and depression issues. He specifically stepped away because he’s headed back home.
I'm definitely with you there. It's just that I'm hearing from some people out there that they may keep the pick instead of Reaves, but if they would rather give the pick it probably takes us out because the Bulls would want it I'd guess. LA also has to consider matching salary to get it done.
Zach Lavine makes $40M, so LA must send out that much salary. They’ll have no choice.
Jesus, that sucks. Coming to SA won't fix his depression.
id rather have reaves than that pick
Who wouldn't if you were forced to play in SLC and Minnesota.
Schroeder does not want to come off the bench doug for him works straight up. Toronto saves on Salary next year
Are the Grizzlies going to become sellers with Ja out the rest of the season? Anything worth picking from that corpse?
Teams may buzz around Marcus Smart, like the Bucks, but those teams don't have much to offer. Poor guy could still be on the Celtics.
He would be a solid pick up. Not a long term starter but if we get him at the deadline he could find a nice home here.
Damn yeah Ja just announced out for season
Changes things for sure.
Trade Targets: Aaron Nesmith, Trey Murphy III, Herbert Jones, Tobias Harris
I’m open to trading: Branham, Tre Jones, Zach Collins, Julian, McDermott, Cedi
Murphy or Jones would be nice long term fits. How would you see us acquiring one of them?
There's not much on that roster after their top 2 or 3 guys that I'd want.
They’re both currently bench players so I don’t think they’ll ask for the world for them which makes them ideal targets… this kind of trade is usually a swap of future potential and respective team needs, so I wager that either the Pels or the Pacers will want a project back that fits their future. Maybe the Pels feel they need more front court help and would want Zach in return. Or maybe the Pacers feel they need more shooting around Haliburton and would want a combo of Malaki, McDermott, and Julian…
I'd rather do the deal with Nola. I think those guys are better prospects, but the Zach deal has to wait until tbe summer i believe because of his contract status.
If they sell anyone worthy for picks, Ja is demanding trade as soon as he is healthy.
