They've come out of the middle school woodwork.
Yup would be nice for us...
My dream list for the trade windows :
- MKG
- Boozer
- Snell
- Amir Johnson
- any backup point with actual defense

Spurs would be responsible for the 15% trade kicker so depending on when we trade him we would have to pony up 5mil to satisfy that. Chicago could keep Tiago or trade him but amnesty boozer and pair Noah with Tiago, pretty solid defensive front who can pass.
Duncan, Diaw, kawhi, Marco and parker
When Manu comes in Deng comes in at the 4 baynes or Ayres for 5, Bonner and Thomas split the other time at the 4, Deng plays sf and green comes in at sg with mills.
Or Duncan, Deng, kawhi, Marco, parker that way we can switch Deng and kawhi on best player and green comes off bench for defense at the 3. Diaw at pf and Ayres/baynes at the 5. Still can clog the paint and have shooters on the floor.
Teams can waive players, not amnesty them during the season (I'll assume you were talking about the upcoming offseason). He is definitely a candidate every year that passes. If he were to be amnestied in the off season they'd remove $16.3 million. They would have $50 million committed to 8 players (not including Deng)
He would be an ideal fit really but like you say, he's probably unavailable. The celtics probably see him as a cornerstone in their transition phase to back to being a play off team
Andre Miller anyone??
The Nugs apparently are eager to part ways with him. He's due to earn $5M this year. Depending on their level of desperation perhaps this might be one trade situation where a team would consider taking Matt Bonner. Bonner/Joseph perhaps?
Haven't seen too much of him lately, but if his defense is still serviceable, he would definitely be worth an add. Front office should consider it.
Aren't you pleased with Mills as backup PG?
Andre Miller sucks and IMO is literally the worst fit for a Spurs back up PG. Not only can he not shoot or stretch the floor, he can't change the pace nor defend with any sort of consistency. He needs the ball in his hands and operates in the mid range/post area and would not only fit terribly with Manu offensively, but be even worse defensively.
Please. Like any team isn't going to jump at the chance to trade for Bonner. We should just trade him for Lebron + Birdman + $$$.
I agree that he's not a defender, but he's always been a pretty good facilitator, and has a high bball IQ, and I'm not sure what point guard doesn't need the ball in their hands.
There's a big fall off at the point after Parker, no offense to Mills or Joseph. I love Mills, but I'm not willing to bank on him should TP go down. Miller would fit in well with the second unit. Put him on the floor with a group of shooters and I think he'd do well. Acquiring Miller without giving much away seems like a decent move.
What I mean is he needs the ball in his hands in the low block. That is not the Spurs offense. It's predicated on drive and kick and he can't do that. Not only that, Gino has the ball in his hands, Miller can't. Miller can't spot up shoot and he's really, really bad on defense. I don't see the fit at all tbh..
If TP goes down, we are screwed anyways. Under every cir stance, Mills > Miller IMO.
Wishlist in no particular order:
-Deng
-Mkg
-Thaddeus Young
- Jeff Green
I would love Thad Young on the Spurs. He has rediscovered his three point shot this season, shooting over 40% right now. That along with his rebounding and strong P&R defense make him a great small ball PF. His contract is also reasonably sized and he has an option to opt out after the next season.
But I'm not sure a package of Green/Bonner/De Colo/1st rounder is enough to get a deal done. There should be plenty of teams chasing him at the deadline if he stays this productive.

Buzz in Reno here at D-League Showcase is that Courtney Lee-for-Jerryd Bayless trade expanding to include third team: Oklahoma City

Word is that OKC's Ryan Gomes will be added to trade to and goes to Boston ... with Celtics then expected to waive Gomes
^ financial move for the Thunder that will allow them to have a little more margin below the tax to make moves.
Thunder having a "cheap" owner not willing to pay some kind of tax has really hurt them these past years. It has especially cost them Harden.
Ryan Gomes has been a black hole for the THunder and among the worst players in the league in his previous games across seasons.
Personally, I'm not sure he will be the same player when post season rolls around. Parker logs 36 mpg for his career in the post season. Can he score enough and be less of a liability on defense to be a positive. Having someone like Miller would be a nice alternative. Has plenty of experience. He is ball dominant, but has a very good Ast./T.O ratio. The only problem is his at ude (along with his lack of spacing). He would ,likely, be an alternate instead of a backup. He was suspended for yelling at Shaw for giving him a DNP-CD.
Damn sounds like Deng is going to the Cavs for Bynum.
It's done sounds like the Cavs want to keep him to.
At least they didn't trade him to the Lakers tbh. I'd of been pissed if they got a couple assets for trading MVPau.
Andre Miller should retire, tbh, his style of play is antiquated in today's NBA, especially considering his age..
He's a fat PG that can't shoot and can't penetrate..it doesn't really make sense for any team in the league to build their second unit around a post-up PG in 2014 IMO..
Earl Clark is probably available, tbh..
He has been absolutely horrendous in Cleveland and his breakout year was more than likely a product of D'Antoni's system, but he's still a 6'10, athletic SF that can shoot the 3 and plays above average defense..
I wonder whether bulls will waive Carlos Boozer
