trade to move Boris Diaw

[Raven]

Tim/Bobo >>>> Gasol. People are deluding themselves if they think the Spurs have any chance next year against GS.

we were never going to get better with timmy retiring.. we should be glad for what we can do and take it as we can.. i mean, it's not like we're paying mozgov

Who would be the best suitors for Diaw. What could we get?, picks, money, player?
Would love to get Nerlens Noel at 4mil

I would imagine that it would have to be Diaw and Mills but I doubt that gets it done. I think that it is a straight up salary dump. I think New Orleans would be interested with Gentry. They have a tendency to give 1st rounders out like Oprah does new cars. I'd be cool with a couple of second rounders from a team that might not make the PS. Phoenix might be an option too off the top of my head.

I would imagine one of Milutinov or Boban to be on the roster.

But it becomes a risky game I suppose. If the Spurs have to turn in Gasol paperwork and secure a Milutinov staying in Europe letter to clear the cap space, and then someone signs Boban to a restricted sheet the Spurs can't/won't match, I guess they'd really be screwed.

Couldn't the Spurs have all four?

LMA- West (Maybe) LJC
Gasol-Boban-Milutinov

I think RFA starts on the 7th which could allow the Spurs time to get an offer together for Boban.

Don't know if they can change their minds and get to bring Milutinov over in that case.

[Kawhitstorm]

Manu is likely to be renounced and signed to a minimum deal. You're right about the cap holds for Murray and LJC, but they're each only about $450k extra than the cap hold for the empty roster spot under 12 anyways. So yeah, maybe they have to cut $1.4M of salary to give Gasol $15M.

Most likely Boris is getting moved to create space for the other FAs (Manu/D-Worst/Boban) rather than Pau.

[Kawhitstorm]

Can't do a S&T w/ a 1+1 deal:

The Raptors would be the perfect landing spot for Boris since they really need a PF & just lost out on Pau.

[r0drig0lac]

Parker/Diaw for Jimmy Butler PLEASE.

this is a trade level gsw / lakers fan

[Solid D]

As I mentioned earlier, I still think that Duncan's salary being packaged as part of a trade... just prior to Timmy retiring is in play here.

No idea. I'd be happy with Milutinov on the roster also, just seems dicey with his cap hold and such.

[Chillen]

Diaw looked washed up last season, but the energy he brought in the 2014 playoffs helped this team win the NBA le so his play will be missed a bit. Still you choose Gasol over Diaw anytime.

Glad this fat piece of is getting moved after getting complacent...

I believe that Diaw's feelings got hurt when they brought in West and he lost minutes. He wasn't the first big off the bench anymore. The more minutes he lost, the more he got miffed and didn't try. And got fat. And if there is anything Pop can't stand is a player that won't compete for his minutes. You could tell how pissed Pop was when he gave Diaw a DNP during the playoffs. Just my take, but jealousy explains a lot.

Same thing happened with Malik Rose after they brought in Horry, I think.

[Mugen]

So Timmy/Diaw for Pau? Smh tbh.

Good call. Bowen style.

then he should have been released immediately. wtf is wrong with kids today?

So right now the frontline depth is as follows assuming Diaw is traded and Duncan retires...

C- Gasol, Boban (?)
PF - Aldridge, Jean-Charles
SF - Leonard, Anderson, Bertans...

My hope is that they add Milutinov. Yes, he is raw, but he has what Gasol and Boban do not have, mobility. Based on what players are going for in this free agency it makes sense to go with Milutinov as well.

Boris to raptors for picks
Raptors lost backup center

Lorbek is in the summer league. Who knows he might be on the team.

[Mugen]

I'm fine with trading away Boris. I'm not fine with salary dumping him and getting nothing in return.

[still.focused]

S&T diaw parker n green for Pau & Jimmy Butler
Work out the math for me

[elemento]

I bet he ends up in Toronto.

Not bad news. Get rid of Porker too

Duncan is done, bro. If he's truly retiring, then that mean the knee is shot.

And Diaw is a dice roll. Yes, Pau is worse than 2014 Diaw and Duncan, but better than 2016 Diaw and post-wheel-falling off Duncan.

[BillMc]

According to PTR

Boris has reportedly told the team that he has a list of five teams that he would like to be moved to, and the team is trying to make a deal with one of those teams.

, I didn't realize there was a Non-Bird Exception now, which is what the Cavs used to sign James last year and what the Warriors will use to sign Durant next year, the Spurs will use on Gasol, etc. It allows a 20% raise.
