This isn't the NFL where you can trade 2 firsts for an established superstar......
Appreciate your analysis. Admittedly I’ve only seen five or six complete games and others I catch snippets off streaming or YouTube but from that it seemed Derozan was an iso ball devotee.
But if he’s creating room for the others then that changes my tune on him.

I wouldn't trade both 1st round picks, but maybe one of the 1st rounders along with Pau, Patty, or some other combination of vet. players for a established 3 and D wing, starting caliber.
That's not what anyone is implying. A package of players obviously needs to be included with those picks.
No thanks, two selfish players who think they are way better rhat they really are.
Oh god another Slovenian Doncic homer. They shouldn't shoot unless Doncic gives them permission.
A lot of talk about getting a 3&D player which I completely agree but there is a ZERO percent chance PATFO makes a roster move this season, especially now that this team is coming along. I wish they would make a move this season but we will have to wait until atleast the offseason imo.
Most people, including myself, were saying tank merely a month and a half back. However, with Brynt and White both rapidly becoming better players and LaMarcus and DeRozan playing outstanding ball, this team should just keep what they have for the year.
They need to turn Gasol into some sort of young, controllable SF; otherwise there's no point in having this core. Might as well rebuild if they're not going to give them their best chance at making a few runs.
I see the same, old named being mentioned. Again, the need is a big wing . . .
- Bazemore can't credibly defend those types and there are 7 other perimeter players on this team that need minutes next season.
- Carroll is too gimpy at this point and couldn't credibly defend James when he wasn't.
- Covington would be near ideal, but a Timberwolves team trying to win isn't giving him up for a prospects and/or picks.
The only semi-conceivable trade where giving up both 1sts could make sense, is for Prince. Probably a long shot, but Schlenk didn't draft him and he's almost 25. Checks as many conceivable boxes as realistically possible.
Probably a < 5% chance that Pau gets moved by the deadline considering Pop/RC treat him like Timmy in how much respect he gets from the organization. Keeping him on the roster and trying to shoehorn him in the rotation will have a pretty negative impact on the team but primarily on Jakob's development. Hoping they pull a RJ and trade him as soon as he has a decent game but I really doubt it because of a) not sure what realistic trades are out there b) the aforementioned affinity for Gasol
I'd rather they come to a buyout agreement if they cant move him, thats how much I think him being in the rotation will negatively impact the team...
Probably true unless there's some big losing streak and/or disgruntled player(s). We're going to have to squint and see White as the Spurs' 3&D guy and hope the bigger perimeter players can be covered by some platoon of their 6'7" - 6'8" players. The long shot is that Ben Moore develops into an SF or Huestis recovers without losing his athleticism, either one replacing an end of bench slot as a situational defender.
I'd imagine they'll want to do right by him. Having a 38.5 year old future Hall of Famer, whose still easily a rotation caliber player, spending a half season of his twilight riding the pine, is unbecoming. Especially considering this only came about because of s bag.
For that reason + the state of the conference/league, I actually think this is the rare time they'll look to make an in season trade; to alleviate the awkwardness (similar to Jefferson). Wouldn't surprise me if they already had this conversation with him. Otherwise, his so far good soldier act, is out of character.
Luka is already way better than those two, like it or not.Oh god another Slovenian Doncic homer. They shouldn't shoot unless Doncic gives them permission.at your lol Doncic thread
Also this trade talks are bogus.
You will never get a decent value for LMA because of his age, also noone takes the likes of Pau, Cunningham, etc. because everyone knows they are garbage.
Also trading for demar makes no sense. He is still an Allstar in his prime. I would rather see how this team plays + Murray.
Even though he was a pro (underwhelmed but a pro nontheless) Pop hated RJ for whatever reason. I want them to but I doubt they're as willing to part with Gasol as they were with RJ. Definitely won't buy him out.
Sure but that doesn't mean they wouldn't help the Spurs. We couldn't trade for Doncic obviously and his skillset isn't a major need anyway.Luka is already way better than those two, like it or not.
