Spurs interested in trading up for Beal?

[I. Hustle]

Ooohhh I thought you meant Jessica.

[tim_duncan_fan]

If he's the guy we want and he's attainable, give up anything except Tim and Kawhi to get him. The sooner we get young and bad, the sooner we can be primed and ready.

I don't want to make the playoffs if we aren't winning the whole thing.


I want early draft picks....desperately!

Excuse my ignorance, but MKG = ?

Michael Kidd Gilchrist, sf- Kentucky

[baseline bum]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Think a better passing and handling Iguodala with a higher ceiling. Needs serious work on the jumpshot, but does almost everything else well and has a great work ethic, so the jumpshot will come.

[Hoops Czar]

This, basically. Unless Duncan is retiring, I wouldn't blow up the team to get Beal. I think he'll be good but I'm not nearly sold enough to give up Parker for him unless there is a total rebuild. Even then, I probably hold out for more than just Beal.

Well that's good because no "rebuilding" team is going to want a 30 year-old pg. That sort of defeats the purpose of rebuilding.

Typical CIA Pop disinformation tbh

[BatManu20]

Beal has been compared to Ray Allen, in terms of his ability to shoot the basketball.

He ain't THAT wet.

[ElNono]

Ooops, login mistake.

[Russ]

He's been super impressive so far in workouts. He will be another Eric Gordon and Gordon hasn't hit full potential yet.

That is the comparison every scout has made, i.e., Beal = Eric Gordon.

It looks like an apt comparison.

But I wouldn't trade Parker for the original Eric Gordon, himself.

Well that's pretty tough.

What position would you play him? SF? SG?

[jag]

Parker for Beal, and Gary Neal can run the point... right?

[DesignatedT]

Parker/Blair/Neal for Augustine and #2


gettin my gnsf on...

i dont expect Spurs to make fireworks tomorrow

[DPG21920]

I don't expect anything, but if the Spurs were to move up, Beal was the guy I was hoping for. I am not high on many of the bigs at all (maybe Drummond, but super risky). My thinking is I would like a dynamic 2 guard to fill what I perceive to be a decent need now (starter with athleticism and skill) that can bridge the gap between now and the future like Kawhi at a strong position.

A SG that has a lot of upside like Beal, when paired with Kawhi makes the future look pretty nice.

[DPG21920]

But if that means TP (which it likely would have to), no.

If it is Manu - I would be more open to that. Although I wouldnt be thrilled and I don't see a scenario where that makes sense for the Spurs either.

I'd see if Kawhi could play the SG, and if not, probably trade him unless MKG becomes a lousy pro.

[baseline bum]

If Spurs trade into top 10 it will likely be for Henson, Rivers or Ross.

As risky as Henson is, I think he's got enough upside to take in the top 10 of a deep draft. I could very well see him dropping into the late teens or early 20s with that build though.

[intlspurshk]

If Spurs trade into top 10 it will likely be for Henson, Rivers or Ross.

If they trade into the 22-30 Range, I think they go after D Lamb who could start right away in our system and would be a steal.

A family member who works for an NBA team in the lower FO told me a few hours ago Spurs did discuss a trade with Char that would send T Thomas and the second pick to SA for Jax, Splitter and future draft picks but talks did not get far as Spurs not willing to take on Thomas contract, they believe he will be bought out.

Jordan not looking to biuld a winning team he wants to make money so keeping salaries low does not want more rookies.

That seems to suggest FO is not looking to move up in this draft but to ac ulate future picks or shed salary. Trade Jax & Splitter but don't take T Thomas contract seems like a move to blow up the team.

I'm sorry but a trade like this that doesn't include one of the big 3 is a no brainer.If this is true the front office is on crack. I'm going to call bs on this.

[BatManu20]

Will never happen. Spurs MIGHT be able to sneak into the late 1st round, but nothing more. I could see Blair being moved though.

[SamoanTD]

No way spurs can pry into top 3 picks to snag this kid. Unless?.....never mind.......Maybe?.... lol jk

[Seventyniner]

Umm, Jax + Splitter for #2 + Tyrus Thomas? Is it just me, or is that one of a steal for the Spurs? Sure, Thomas's contract sucks, but it's the damn #2 pick without giving up one of the big 3.
