Highly doubt the Spurs would trade Danny or Tony in order to use all the space to make a run for Biyombo for 17-20 mil per.
Instead of trading for Noel, PATFO could just sign Biyombo before the cap explodes in 2017 when Noel will be a free agent.
Biyombo is a playoff proven performer & doesn't have health or at ude issues, which is something that can't be said about Noel.

Nobody is taking on Diaw's contract unless they get something in return...he's worth less than cap space at this point.....that something could be mills...it could be a future 2nd rd pick that's unprotected...but nobody is giving an asset for him..
All they have to do is dump Diaw, assuming Tim/Manu retire or re-sign for the vet min. In any case, I doubt PATFO give Biyombo that much money & they are probably best served spending 20 mill on Marvin Williams/Cole Aldrich b/c Biyombo would clog up the paint on offense.
20 million on Cole Aldrich and Marvin Williams![]()
If only the Spurs would somehow get involved or call and offer up Tony. lol
Imagine finding out that Philly offered up Noel or Okafor but Spurs were unwilling to let go of Parker.
Geez, I might have overestimated Philly's competence. If they're actually willing to part with Noel for something like Teague + a 1st, then maybe the Spurs would have a shot at getting him.
Any young center that can rebound and defend should be this highest priority this offseason. Not sure Nerlens fits the bill; he has been underwhelming in both categories.
Well Noel is about to become a FA next off-season, so that hurts his trade value quite a bit when you factor in what it'd probably cost to keep him. Okafor probably has more value since he'll only be on his 2nd year of a rookie deal.
Noel doesn't have a ton of value right now based on his on court production. It would be a gamble and he's a RFA next year so if he doesn't really perform you might have a tough decision on your hands with regards to giving him a deal.
I mean, Teague isn't a great return, but Noel is not going to fetch something major.
They have to move him. He fits in the least, even if he's going to be a star. Okafor showed he can be a beast on offense going forward and they have a center coming back from Injury plus the top pick who will likely garner them another big or forward. Theyre just crowded with talent up front.
That's crazy. If only the spurs were involved. Atlanta sending teague to the sixers was the exact third party facilitator in a spurs deal I could imagine. Atlanta getting back Parker/Anderson type deal for grooming and potential. They're losing teague either way and need to move him for Schroeder to take over.
They need frontcourt help though with possibly losing Al Horford, and their frontcourt was undersized very often even with Horford.
Its a good deal for Atlanta. Nice athlete to pair with Schroder.
I don't think our assets are going to interest anybody that much.
I agree they may need to replace him, since they seemed intent on trading all the starters this season. He would be a nice piece to build around with Schroeder. Spurs were one of the names that came up for teague during the season which is why they made sense as a third party. Spurs have something they were interested in. If they're going young rebuild, I could see them liking Anderson's potential.
I think because the spurs have had a graveyard for so long, people have lost the importance of veteran leadership. One of the reasons these young teams don't grow is the lack of veterans to help mold them. Not to mention there's another cap increase next year, and some of the trade assets will be coming off the books. If a team is looking to make a move next year, they probably wouldn't mind a cheap rental.
Context makes players valuable. They don't have to all be superstars.
Because you can in video games. If you turn computer override trades on.
It all rests on whether Spurs want to deal Tony. I am all for dealing him, but its all on PATFO now. He did make a vague statement that Kawhi had earned the right to have a team built around him, with guys that complement his game, and that LMA had already earned that previously in his career. It could mean they are willing to make some drastic moves, but I guess it's just wait and see at this point.
