he's someone i never would've imagined being in a spurs uniform... but i support this.
Need a defensive PG like George Hill to cover so many oustanding PGs in the west and Parker to do more in offensive side.

my dream scenario would be to sign johnson and: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=jcnya3h
i'd throw in a draft pick. and would've sent mccallum but he can't be traded until the summer.
Spurs have Green and Simmons that can cover a PG in the wings, but the rim protector is missing unless Aldridge steps up or we get some other athletic blocker from who knows where.
McCallum's been tradeable since like September. Oh, and that's an awful trade. Dragic sucks nowadays, Miami would love to get ride of McBob, and it's not even clear if the Spurs could afford to re-sign Whiteside.
oh, the restriction is for no reacquiring. and i don't think it's an awful trade at all. dragic would move the ball better than parker. haven't seen mcroberts play lately but i really like what little i've seen from him. really athletic and great passing/court vision for a big man. i would make this trade happen regardless of whether whiteside resigning. timmy and manu aren't getting younger... we need to win now... and what we need is a rim protector. if we had kawhi/td/whiteside? whew, that'd be nice.
While the "name value' may make that trade exciting for some, that is a pretty awful trade. There is a reason why MIA actually IMPROVES defensively when Whiteside is off the court and while I like Dragic just fine, TP has been much better than him this year. Not to mention the adjustment to the system and comfort level/chemistry of DPG.
-Pop trading Tony
-Pop trading FOR Whiteside
-Pop trading Bonner
-Pop trading FOR Gerald Green
I've heard that Rubio will be available, if he doesn't win in New Hampshire.
Man i'd love to see the spurs dump Danny Green to Minny. Kevin Martin and Shabazz Muhammad have spurs written all over them.
Kevin Martin
A bigger PG than Ray? He is 6'3. And he is fast. He can jump. He can shot. He is learning the Spurs system. What the do you mean a bigger point guard?
martin is the Draymond to lames Curry.Kevin Martin
Do you remember George Hill guarding Steve Nash and Goran Dragic in the 2010 playoffs? He got destroyed in that series. Stephen Curry is a on a whole other level compared to what Nash was back then. Then you've also got Westbrook, who is also on another level. No disrespect to Nash as he was a great player back then, but people that think George Hill is a great defensive PG are wrong. He's a decent defender, but nowhere near being a great defensive PG.
can we get this thread to surpass the Jimmer thread in page count before the deadline, plz?
Haven't seen this article posted yet, but it's a good read. Lots of good tidbits here, which I've highlighted by putting in bold.
Guide to the trade deadline: Spurs always thinking ahead
By Bobby Marks of The Vertical
February 1, 2016 3:43 PMYahoo Sports
The Vertical Insider Bobby Marks, a former longtime assistant general manager with the Nets, breaks down the San Antonio Spurs’ situation as the Feb. 18 trade deadline approaches.
HANG UP IF THEY ASK ABOUT …
Starters and rotational players
Teams have such respect for San Antonio that there is an unwritten rule when engaging with the Spurs to not to waste their time by talking about their key players.
There should be no movement among the Spurs' starters or rotation players.
WORTH TAKING THE CALL
Kyle Anderson and Jonathon Simmons
The undrafted Simmons has been a revelation, and Anderson has upside. Considering the Spurs’ ability to develop players, San Antonio would probably think long and hard about parting with either player if a team calls.
2016 first-round pick
San Antonio has proven its ability to find hidden gems in past drafts and have former picks Nikola Milutinov and Livio Jean-Charles stashed overseas, so this pick has value to San Antonio, but if the right deal comes along ...
The problem is the discrepancy in salary on the Spurs’ roster will make it difficult to move a pick for an established player.
NO-TRADE CLAUSE OR WITH A RESTRICTION
Tim Duncan
Duncan is one of six players in the NBA with a no-trade clause, meaning he has the power to veto any deal.
View photoManu Ginobili and Matt Bonner
Matt Bonner, who signed a one-year contract this summer, must consent to any trade San Antonio wishes to make. Although Manu Ginobili signed a two-year contract this past summer, the second year has a player option, so Ginobili is deemed to have an early Bird restriction.Both players must approve of any trade and early Bird rights would not carry over to their new teams.
Ray McCallum
McCallum, who was acquired from Sacramento, cannot be traded back to the Kings this season.
MOVE THAT PUSHES THE NEEDLE
Utilizing cap space this past summer enabled the Spurs to be positioned for a long run this spring.
San Antonio should keep an eye on the March 1 waiver wire, especially if buyout talks pick up with Brooklyn’s Joe Johnson.
TREASURE CHEST OF PICKS
Full, with reinforcements in Europe
San Antonio has its own first-round pick, projected to be No. 29 overall.
The Spurs also own their future first-round picks
San Antonio has a plethora of draft picks stashed overseas. First-round pick Nikola Milutinov (2015), first-round pick Livio Jean-Charles (2013), second-round pick Nemanja Dangubic (2014) and 2011 second-round picks Davis Bertans and Adam Hanga comprise a strong core of future assets.
AVAILABLE TRADE EXCEPTIONS
None
POST-TRADE DEADLINE ROSTER MOVEMENT
Even with 15 guaranteed contracts, San Antonio will pay attention to the March 1 buyout date. Adding a veteran for the stretch could prove more beneficial than a February 18 trade.
SNEAK PEEK TOWARD JULY
The Spurs will be right at the projected $89 million salary cap in July.
The big priority will be to lock up restricted free agent Boban Marjanovic. Because of his non-Bird rights, the Spurs will almost surely be forced to dip into part of their $5.6 million mid-level exception.
INSIDER INFO
Although not on the roster, the cap holds for previous first-round picks Nikola Milutinov and Livio Jean-Charles will hit the Spurs salary cap in July.
San Antonio can release the holds by notifying the NBA of its desire not to sign them, but doing so would make either player ineligible to sign in 2016-17. Both players’ cap holds were released last July when San Antonio needed cap space to sign LaMarcus Aldridge.

Truth.
Love to have him back. Underrated during his time here.
Green wont be traded. He signed lowball offer to remain with team. Spurs organisation is too loyal to dump player after such sacrifice.
I see what you did there.
And fearless, which this team is lacking right now.
you think it's funny to imagine the spurs acquiring players who specialize in offense?Shabazz Muhammad
