i'm ok with Pau, he will be in better shape and could a 3rd center but i hope we get rid of pondexter and cunnigham and sign players who can bring something.
We are 1 injury to our core away from having to give playoff minutes to a mixture of Pondexter & Cunningham and that is a recipe for disaster. Any type of move that can give us depth that Pop will actually play in favor of those guys is a must. Waiver wire or otherwise.
I hope we trade The Raptors first round draft pick. I would rather have a solid bench player than give up another roster spot for somebody to play in Austin all year. Only been said a hundred times, we need a playable small forward. Spurs won’t trade Gasol or Patty. I’m hoping Gasol goes out super classy and retires without making the Spurs waive him. This would save the Spurs 6M in future salary space.
I hope we trade LMA and DD.
Has a bad remaining contract and is apparently a mediocre defender, so, no.Maybe Sean Marks can do us that favour
Pau for Allen Crabbe, the Nets can use Pau's expiring contract, and the Spurs on the other side can use a 6-6 wing that shoots 39% from the three point line (both career and this season!).
Need a hybrid SF/PF incase Rudy gets hurt and for more versatility.
I noticed today on the espn stats page that the two Spurs leading the team in +/- are Rudy Gay and Davis Bertans. I thought that was interesting, as most people think of SF as the team's weakest position.

These guys are more pfs in today's NBA who can play spot minutes at SF. It would be great to get another player to compliment them (better defender/rebounder/good jumpshot) we can play whoever that is along side both of them when we need to go big.
SF is the weakest position because both of them are playing PF
If we make the playoffs, and it is not a small if, Pau will be useful. I expect him to be in better shape in a month or so, as he couldn't do any conditioning with the broken foot.
The one player who would not cost much, probably would retire after this year, but could hit the three and actually might help you win a playoff game in brief minutes at the SF position is Vince Carter. Yes, he is old as dirt, but in select minutes he can still deliver.
Vince Carter
.405/.373/.769 TS% .545
Quincy Pondexter
.486/.357/.788 TS% .656
With the game on the line who would you prefer to take the shot? This is not about who excels in garbage minutes. This is about who has the pedigree to actually make a difference in limited minutes during a playoff game.
Neither. If you're in that position to have either of these guys take the shot, your team is screwed.
[QUOTE=r0drig0lac;9675603]rebuild your reputation with whom? with ex players wanting their last payment? nobody cares about Quincy,Spurs is the only good team that would give him a chance, and that's exclusively about Pop
Players around the league know what happened to Quincy, he almost died. It makes the spurs look good among other players and their agents that they’re giving quincy a shot.
Meaningless stats.
Steven Snell?
Actually not a terrible idea, yes Crabbe is more of an sg/sf than a sf/pf that we ideally need, and he is no Bruce Bowen defensively, but he is still a deadeye shooter who moves without the ball extremely well and is an upgrade in terms of size and D over Bryn or Patty.Maybe Sean Marks can do us that favour
Pau for Allen Crabbe, the Nets can use Pau's expiring contract, and the Spurs on the other side can use a 6-6 wing that shoots 39% from the three point line (both career and this season!).
His contract is not that terrible, he will be a big expiring next year.
BK will gladly do it to shed salary in pursuit of room for max FAs, maybe we even can squeeze a 2nd
Time to trade in our Gasol for a newer model...
I've been thinking about trading Pau for Marc too, but why would Memphis do thatTime to trade in our Gasol for a newer model...
What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension. There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense.Time to trade in our Gasol for a newer model...
5.000.000 extra next year
tax detected and no Rudy
both firstrounders put even higher
The fact both teams are in the same division make this trade very unlikely. Fat Gasol can opt out in the offseason and sign elsewhere. The trade will give them salary room when they waive Pau in the offseason. Frees up playing time immediately for Jalen Jackson. Patty Mills can help their bench. Forbes would be the asset on a cheap contract and throw in a draft pick.I've been thinking about trading Pau for Marc too, but why would Memphis do that
Uh, who's going to replace the 10 three point attempts per game after the trade?Time to trade in our Gasol for a newer model...
not only doesn't this trade make sense for Memphis, it also doesn't make sense for the Spurs
