ESPN Insider: Trades to improve Spurs' le odds

[Bruno]

All this for a player that is buried on their bench behind Love, Williams, Pekovic, Miller and Darko.

And Tolliver.

Randolph is currently Wolves 7th big and isn't even on the 13 men active roster when everybody is available. I don't see how Wolves could get a first round pick for him.

If Spurs are interested in Randolph, they can just decide to wait this summer. Unless Randolph's situation really changes, Wolves won't make a $4M QO this summer and he will be an UFA.

If the Spurs could get a big by giving up JA, Blair, or Richardson I would pull the trigger. I would not surrender Leonard, Green, or Neal. Bonner is playing fine for a back up big right now. If Pop comes to his senses and starts Splitter come playoff time we will be fine, because everyone knows the starters get extended burn in the playoffs. Pop could juggle the minutes to minimize the time Blair and Bonner are on the floor together. The keys to the Spurs success right now are Pop putting the right lineups on the court and health. I would rather take a crack at the le with the lineup we have than jeopardize the franchise's future by giving away our important young players.

I like the first trade for Mayo if los Spurs didn't have to give up a 1st round pick. I don't want any trades that involve Leonard and Green.

agree

I don't really mind the trade involving Mayo, if we could throw in RJ instead of Bonner...

i think ur crazy, i would much rather have RJ than bonner......

oh i dont know maybe ur right

I like that randolph deal. Also, on ESPN it says 5 trades to help the Spurs...is this the same article? and if so, I only see 3 trades on this.

Anderson+Blair for Randolph seem like a fine and fair trade. I can see both teams doing it.

I like it too, Anderson doesn't play and Randolph for Blair should be at least a lateral move for the Spurs.

Although I don't know if the Wolves would be interested, Blair wouldn't see any time and even though they lack wings Anderson isn't a sure thing. Besides Randolph is an expiring, Blair and Anderson aren't.

[Mr Fundamental]

We dont need Mayo as we have Neal.

We need Taj from Bulls.

A huge problem with these trades, and any other trade, is the complete lack of practices these players would get with the shortened season.
We would be picking up pieces that would be too unfamiliar with the system to get any good minutes and when they did get minutes they would blow rotations, be out of position on offense and get benched: The Classic Pop Treatment.
I don't think we will be seeing the end of Blair, Bonner or Jefferson any time soon. The Spurs place a high value on corporate knowledge, I cannot see the FO making any moves unless a top tier big man comes knocking on our door, which is not likely.

Anderson+Blair for Randolph seem like a fine and fair trade. I can see both teams doing it.

Sending Blair for 7th front-court player of a lottery team?

I honestly don't understand how and why Blair is so underrated in that forum.
