Nah.... Mullens for Duncan, final offerThey might like Ayres.

Spurs won't trade Errors. Just not their standard MO to trade a first year player, no matter how bad he is floundering. Also doesn't make them look any more attractive to potential FAs down the line.

Rockets one of many teams wanting Dunleavy, but Bulls value him. Chicago has nothing in the works elsewhere yet, either, I'm told.
Ken Berger ✔ @KBergCBS Follow New Orleans has made Anthony Morrow available for a draft pick, league source says. Morrow has a $1.15M player option for next season.

Toronto has expressed interest in Kenneth Faried, according to league sources. Masai Ujiri drafted Faried in Denver: basketballinsiders.com/raptors-expres…
Faried would be a nice fit on that team, a Faried/Amir PF rotation would be pretty good, wonder if we could somehow get Patterson in the process...
11:19am: The Cavs and Kings have spoken about including Jason Thompson or Marcus Thornton in a Jack deal, reports Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal.
I hope Spurs won't enter in a bidding war for a mediocre player like Dunleavy and end up giving up a first round pick for him. If Spurs wanted a player like him, they should have signed him this summer instead of blowing their cap space on Bonner and Ayres.
Giving up a first round pick to get a player Spurs could have signed 6 months ago would be hard to understand.
Or just go sign devin ebanks and waste a draft pick on dunleavy.
I don't see how Jack for Thompson would help either team. Thompson will have to be moved soon anyway, but they get no financial relief unless they're willing to let Thomas go. Jack for Thorton and Thompson (and Acy) for Ayres and Bonner would be a good deal.
Only if he is the only consolation prize when other targets (Young, M.Williams, Turner, etc) are either unavailable or far too costly. If they think they could repair the mistake by signing him by making a compensation, it isn't a bad idea.
I agree that I'd hesitate to blow a pick on him as well, and they should have gone for him rather than Ayers and/or Bonner, but I wouldn't call Dunleavy mediocre. I would not hesitate to do something like
Dunleavy for De Colo, Baynes, Spurs 2014 2nd and Spurs 2016 2nd (the second pick is valuable as Duncan is expected to retire...)
I like the idea of adding Villanueva (buyout candidate) if they're not gonna go for a big target... Can space the floor for Splitter off the bench.
TD 35mn - Villanueva 13mn
Diaw 25mn - Splitter 23mn
Kawhi 38mn - Boris/Green 10mn
We don't have a 4th big right now with Ayres turning out like he did... Splitter is quick enough to play the 4 on D, so centers with range like Villanueva or Hawes would be good fits... That's another approach to the same issue (we're mostly talking combo forward but Boris can be the combo forward who plays 10 min at the 3 and Green can do also do it in some matchups).
The big con of that answer is that you have to play some TD-Splitter while getting a combo forward can prevent that but then again if we're paying Splitter to simply backup TD for 13 mn it's not worth it and even pretty ridiculous...
I'd still entertain the idea of MWP for De Colo. I imagine he's done, but he can probably still play against be threes Green would struggle to guard and small fours.

Interesting Trade Deadline Week wrinkle: Hearing Pelicans poised to receive Disabled Player Exception in $4 mil range for Ryan Anderson
I wonder if they'd be willing to take Bonner. If so, it lets the Spurs be a lot more creative with their trades, since they could just send out De Colo for a player like Ilyasova.
The Rockets have renewed efforts to trade disgruntled center Omer Asik, with the Philadelphia 76ers emerging once again as a potential landing spot, league sources told CBSSports.com on Tuesday.

Sacramento and Brooklyn discussing a deal centered on Marcus Thornton for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
For Sacramento and Brooklyn, this is one of several conversations officials are having with several teams
Talk about mediocre pearls for swine.
dear god.
That would be a mistake for Brooklyn. Evans and Terry stand to help them more in the playoffs than Thornton would. Well, at least they might. They'd do much better going for a big with the exception. I like Robinson or Ilyasova for various assets.
It seems to be a bad trade for both teams.
I don't see why anyone would want Thorton when there are better options on the market.
