I'm interested in Re . I wonder what the Spurs would be willing to give up to get him?
Nice.But what would it take? Usually the Spurs 1st round picks are in the 25-30th range anyway, I would do it. Would the Magic take Blair? Or do they strictly want picks?

Yeah, Blair won't get it done.
@JMcDonald_SAEN
Luke Ridnour reportedly available in Minnesota. If I'm the Spurs, I'm taking a long, hard look at that.
Re is making like $6M this year though. Won't get him for the typical Blair+Neal configuration.
Bonner + Neal or Bonner + Blair both work though. However, I think both trades would put SA in the tax.
I don't see this trade happening honestly.
Re would be a great pick up but he basically plays the exact same position as Neal so I don't really see the point.. He's a better player obviously, but Neal is a lot cheaper. And the Magic want a top 15 pick for him, not expiring contracts. We don't really have the pieces to get him.
I like Re in theory but I don't see a deal that makes sense. I'll give up a late first rounder for him. I wouldn't give up Green, Diaw, Splitter, Jackson or anyone important. Neal, Bonner, Blair, etc. could be had but it's difficult to make salaries match.
Stein is on some BS
I don't understand why the Spurs want Re when they have Gary Neal. Two similar players and he is also a rental.
Boris Diaw tweeted an article en led "Dejuan Blair's Last 24 hours as a Spur?"
I'm not sure that's his real account though. Would be interesting if so.
Yea Re isn't coming here. We don't have the assets, and he's basically a better version of Gary Neal so it doesn't make sense. We need an athletic big and/or a backup PG. But, it's looking more and more like we're not making any trades before the deadline.
If the Magic would give up Red , I'd be interested in seeing how the Jazz like him in a Millsap trade. He seems to make sense to them as a shooter with some creative value(This year and resigning him) who could work alongside Burks and whatever PG they dump their own pick/GS pick into getting in this draft.
Skill wise, he's definitely worth #30, but I don't think he'd be a huge upgrade over Green, and it's hard to see a salary match unless expensive parts are included.
It wasn't. his is @theborisdiaw
I like Re and I think he could be great in a Spurs uniform. Just depends on what kind of pay day he's going to get this Summer. If I could swap JJ and Green I would do it everyday of the week if the money was the same but Re is about to get payed this off-season and DG is at a bargain price of 4m/yr
Bonner/Neal and one of CJ/Mills/De Colo works salary wise. I'd imagine Spurs would have to throw in a first as well..
I'd rather keep the first rounder/Cory/Depth for a 3 month rental of Red .
Ridnour would be a damn good pickup if the Spurs could get him for cheap IMO.
I would do Bonner,Neal,Mills and worry about the future after the season. Re could help win now even if they don't resign him. Neal is destined to fail once again.
Gary's hit more big shots in the playoffs than Re tbh. His shooting declines by a pretty good margin in the postseason.

+ Trust Overall perspective on trade deadline activity: contrary to the pablum put out by the league -- and regurgitated
by some in the media -- the new CBA has put a drag on making moves for several reasons. First: fear of super luxury tax has almost every team, including the big market ones, reluctant to do anything that is going to put them in jeopardy of paying it. Big market teams already are kicking in money to smaller markets in the revenue sharing system, so they're apparently loathe to add more to the coffers of their less-wealthy opponents. Second: Because of that fear, first-round picks have become far more valuable and less likely to be used to sweeten deals because they offer the potential of acquiring a talented player at a below-market price.
I know that but Re hasn't seen open shots like the ones he would see here. Neal has regressed tremendously.
Although he's never been on a team with guys who move the ball like Tony, Tim, and Manu do. He would get more open shots in SA in 3 months than he's seen in all the years he's been in Orlando combined...
It's a no brainer for the Spurs, even if it is a rental for this years playoff push (in all honesty Bonner and Neal are essentially rentals too since they'll most likely be gone next year-- difference is Re has the ability to make a significant contribution).
Hypothetically, I'd imagine Spurs' second unit would feature Jackson/Manu/Re in the back court, which somewhat has me worried about the defense-- but then again it can't get much worse than it already is with Neal/De Colo.
Really wish Spurs would talk to Babby in Phoenix and discuss a straight up Blair/2nd for J.Oneal as well. He's having a pretty solid year and his role could be potentially be comparable to Willis' role in 03'.
He saw a lot of good looks when Dwight was drawing those double teams. Problem with a Re trade is that you still have the same issues you have with Gary now, that Pop doesn't really have room for him in the rotation unless you pigeonhole him into the backup point.
I don't dislike Re 's game but I agree that he's getting paid this summer. I'm not even entirely sold that I want him over Danny tbh as I think Green deserves another shot come playoff time. Definitely don't want JJ at the 8-10 million he'll be asking for in the summer.
He's recently had some bad post-seasons from long range but he's also had postseasons where he shot well over 40% from 3. Like the year ORL went to the finals. In this system if you give a shooter like Re open looks I like his chances. He's got one of the best looking shots in the NBA.
