Orlando has secured offers of first-round picks for J.J. Re , sources tell Y! Sports. So far, those belong to teams drafting in the 20's.
Spurs ? And who ?

Lakers offering Steve Blake, Chris Duhon, Devin Ebanks, Darius Morris for 2nd-rounders, sources say. Looking to unload, free roster spots.

Very unlikely to be the Spurs, it'd be very difficult to construct a trade with Orlando unless a 3rd team is involved.
I don't think it's the Spurs
I don't even think we need Re tbh. Massively overrated this trade deadline. Looks like Mike Miller part 2. Look at Miller now.
Maybe Indy?
I'm still not understanding the Spurs interest in Re . Is he a better defender than Neal? To give up a 1st-rounder for a guy that may be done after this season to me is just not worth. Re shot only 21% from beyond the arc in last year's playoffs.
The Spurs aren't in the 20s, they're #30.
About the only Re trade that makes sense is Green + Bonner + cash to cover Bonner's buyout + 1st for Re . Even then, the Magic would have to cut someone. That or send a min player to the Spurs, and the Spurs dump Neal for a heavily protected 2nd-rounder to a team with cap space or a trade exception. Quite unlikely imo.
Everyone in the nba is a better defender then Neal
last years playoffs i wouldnt really count
Dwight Coward dropped out at the last minute and they were playing one of the best defensive teams in the nba in Indiana
they had to go to glen davis as a #1 option to create shots for other guys
Technicality.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=azj3zvo + 1st rounder. It works, it adds depth for smallball with only 3 legit bigs.
Much better defender than Neal. He really came a long way since he entered the league.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Hawks, Bucks seriously talking on Josh Smith deal, sources tell Y! Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh among players discussed for Smith, Devin Harris.Adrian Wojnarowski
@WojYahooNBA
Pacers pushing guard D.J. Augustin. Warriors still trying to unload bench players to get out of luxury tax. Heat offering Dexter Pittman.
Ken Berger @KBergCBS
The Mavs are making a push to acquire Beno Udrih, but must wait while Bucks decide if his contract is needed to complete Josh Smith trade.
When excatly is trade deadline ? I`ve got 4 pm here, so it is 10am New York time. How many hours left ?
Ken Berger @KBergCBS Bucks "keep upping the ante" in pursuit of J.J. Re , source says. Could mean confidence growing that they will land Josh Smith.
3 pm new york time
In São Paulo it's 12:28. What's the time for you guys now? How long until the end of the deadline?
Thx
4hours 30 minutes
9:30 am in San Antonio.
4 1/2 hours to go.
Roughly 4.5 hours more.
It's 10:31 am ET, which is New York Time right now.
It would be a shame if Blair does not get traded........
Once you get past the untouchables (Big 3, Splitter, Leonard,) from my point of view our two best trade assets are Jax and Blair. Jax because of expiring contract and Blair because he's still cheap as a potential free agent. We might trade some combination of Diaw, Green, Bonner and Neal because of shooting inconsistency and because of defensive flaws if we got something better in return. And of course, there's always DeColo and Mills as fillers.
But who wants/needs any of them? These aren't premier players, just role players. Most are only getting playing time in the NBA & on the Spurs because, even with flaws, they fit into the system and know their roles. None of them could go to another team and be a 'defensive stopper' or a consistent shooter. Their inconsistencies from game to game is why Pop has to shift rotations around from game to game, looking for the one who isn't in a slump.
I just don't see any team wanting these players enough to give up a good player that could easily fit into the Spurs system in 27 games remaining. At the same time, Pop has this rag tag bench bunch playing significant minutes and the Spurs among the top echelon of teams in regular season. He may be doing it with smoke and mirrors (see Cleveland game) but by God, the Spurs play good team basketball and at times are a joy to watch.
Please TRADE #45!!!
Thank you guys !
