Interesting proposals...
Forbes for Stanley Johnson
Bertans for Rozier, Yabusele
This gives the Spurs a potential lineup of:
Rozier/White/DeRoza/Gay/Aldridge
Mills/Belinelli/Johnson/Yabusele/Poetl
Note: Rozier, Gay are RF next season.
This makes sense for Celtics and Pistons. Both Rozier and Johnson are on their last year.
Rozier numbers have fallen of a cliff. Johnson looks like he can't shoot.

Blue font - right?
These trades are awful trades.
I don't think anyone is going to trade much for Stanley Johnson, the best they can get is a 1st round pick.
The Celtics however are in win now mode, they've got consistency problems hitting the 3 so Bertans fills that void.
They can't use Rozier and he's having chemistry problems with Kyrie. So he's pretty much gone, they can't afford him next year.
Yabusele is shooting a pathetic .235 from 3 point range, they've got him signed for 4 years! So this is another guy they want to unload.
So yeah, a couple of young players not performing up to expectation. Perfect for a trade!
I would also trade Pau for Enes Kanter. That shortens the Spurs bill by one year.
NY isn't adding any salary next year in a Kanter trade. Anyone who gives a 1st for Stanley Johnson without something else coming back or shedding some bad salary should be fired for malpractice.
Either you hate Bertans or overrate Rosier tbh.
Don't love Forbes for Johnson either. Shipping an effective offensive rotation player for a player who is a poor offensive player and a pretty good defender.
Agreed. Johnson doesn't seem to be in Detroit's plans and he'll be a restricted free agent on a team with serious cap issues. A team could probably have him with a modest offer in July. Right now, his potential is the draw because it's certainly not his production.
ST keeps complaining that Forbes can't guard anyone. If he gets flipped for Stanley Johnson, ST will keep complaining that he can't shoot!
What's worse? Playing 4 on 5 defense or playing 4 on 5 offense?
4 on 5 offense is better with our personnel anyways, tbh. More touches for LMA and it frees up better possessions without a chucker shooting just to shoot.
If one of the 'stars' could shoot it would be okay, it's how OKC almost (should've) beat GS with Andre Roberson playing major minutes. I will never understand trading for DDR and not pursuing a trade for Bradley Beal. PATFO were too reactionary instead of proactive this past off season tho, smh.
Johnson is so young, that I have little doubt the Spurs could turn him into a respectable 3 point shooter.
How do you know that they didn’t want Beal? A lot of teams more than likely backed off because they didn’t want to or couldn’t afford the risk of Kawhi only wanting to go to LA. Don’t forget that.
True. Raptors did the trade because they wanted to unload DeRozan's contract. Their worse case scenario is that if Kawhi leaves then they've got a ton of cap room.
Washington was interested, I just dont think PATFO are good deal makers or go getters tbh. Imagine Kawhi & Danny for Beal & Oubre. That would've been so much better then DDR & Jakb. What's done is done, still think this trade sucks tho.
Bradley Beal wasn't on the market last summer! The Wiz thought they'd be a top 4 seed in the EC, not a roster of overpaid players looking at the lottery.
If that's the case then a straight up trade Forbes - Stanley Johnson would be something that can happen. Pistons are going no where with Stanley Johnson. Spurs get a #8 pick for an undrafted player.
I would rather send a pick over instead of sending Forbes over.
This is because we still have Walker IV and Metu in the development pipeline. Spurs cannot absorb 3 more rookies next year.
BTW, Spurs still have Mulitinov that they can trade with someone.
Yeah, and nobody thought DDR was till he got dealt.
Considering how I feel that offense is more important in today's NBA, then I think that I would still want Forbes tbh.
Johnson has underwhelmed so it really doesn't matter where he was selected 4 seasons in to his career. Spurs may still have interest and Detroit would be good to get something for him but a first seems to high and Forbes is an better player tbh.
Don't think Milutinov has much if any value. He might be a throw in considering he may not be a Spurs in the near future and it's already been four seasons since he was drafted.
Hopefully he is auditioning for a trade.
More time away from poodle power
Opposing teams have been calling the Memphis Grizzlies about power forward JaMychal Green and guard Garrett Temple, according to a report from Sean Deveney of Sporting News.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Charlotte Hornets are among those who have inquired about one or both of the aforementioned Grizzlies, Deveney reported.
“[The Grizzlies] want picks. They want to rebuild,” Deveney quoted a front-office executive as saying. “They’ve given away a lot in the draft, and they need to find ways to get that back. A guy like Green can have a role on any team as a rebounder, and he’s been better offensively. A guy like Temple can come in and help anyone.”
Please trade Pau. If Aldridge goes down, we're ed anyway. And we have enough overpaid culture guys on the team already. PATFO has to move on from this finished scrub.
Pau hasn't gotten over himself yet lol
