247sports: Spurs interested in trading for Greg Monroe

[Kawhitstorm]

Don't think Monroe would be worth it for what we'd have to give up. Sure, it'd provide some needed depth for bigs...but then there would be another hole or 2 created in the process.

Monroe doesn't make sense unless PATFO are trying to unload Softridge to clear cap space for next summer.

Not hearing about it, does not mean that SA has not tried. You can only sign who's both available and willing to sign with you. I'm sure they had some offers out to guards but with TP on the roster, drafting Murray and having to re-sign Manu the likely didn't have enough to land Pau and another really good guard.

Doesn't mean the didn't try. Can't do everything unfortunately.

Don't bother with that one.

sign me up

[lmbebo]

Not sure how they accomplish this without giving up Green and/or Parker. Don't think Manu can be traded (not that they would).

Would spurs leave a hole in back court with green gone?

Who was the last player we got from Milwaukee?

RJ

Yeah, that should probably be stickied to every single trade rumor thread. Most of the ones we hear about there's nothing to. Then we find out at the end of the season that they had quietly tried to trade for someone we never knew about.

The Spurs FO has always said that they are willing to look at any trade possibility. And I'm pretty sure that they're aware of the weak spots in the roster.

A. I dont quite understand why they would Greg Monroe,

B. They dont have the assets to make it work going out

C. why the living would you trade Lamarcus Aldridge a top five big man in this league, for MCW and Monroe? What the living ever is that!??!

[DeRozan m8]

I hope Anderson is involved, not that anyone would want him

[T Park]

Not a fan..he's a cancer as a starter due to his lack of big man qualities(defense, rebounding, etc) and tendency to be a black hole on offense..he would be great as a bench anchor, though..

Kidd would love Kyle, though..he would be a perfect fit for Milwaukee's approach to the future..

I'd do that trade. Only realistic one I've seen and even then. don't think San Antonio does it.

Who would we be making cap space for? Adams?

I have refrained from posting proposed trades because I hate to engage in completely futile exercises, but here goes. I would rather trade LMA, Patty and JSimms to Chicago for Butler and Portis, followed by a 3 team trade: SA sends Danny to the Bucks and TP to the Kings. The Kings send Gay to Milwaukee, and Milwaukee sends Monroe, MCW and Brogdon to the Spurs.

The Spurs:

PG: MCW, Manu, Dijon, (Brogdon)
SG: Butler, (Manu), Brogdon, Forbes
SF: Kawhi, Bertans (Kyle, Butler)
PF: Pau, Kyle, Portis, LJC
C: Dedmon, Monroe, (Pau + Ndoye or Nnoko or ?)

[coachmac87]

My sources told me it's a sign and trade for Matt Bonner

[palangi]

I see you've brought you idiotic hate here too. Simple-minded-folk.

that starting lineup is atrocious shooting wise

Butler, Kawhi and Pau? MCW to drive. Dedmon to dive.

Porker isn't getting traded & MCW would get the Tony Allen treatment playing w/ high usage players: Kawhi/Butler/Pau.

[gambit1990]

parker would get traded before lma

I acknowledged that it was an exercise in futility. Parker is likely a Spur-for-life - I agree. Yet, MCW would be okay with this unit precisely because the other guys are high usage. He is a much better ball handler/driver than Tony Allen. MCW is there as an initiator/occasional driver/and defender (especially). With the exception of Pau, that first unit has the potential to be a truly great defensive unit. The team would have a bunch of moveable pieces - very flexible.

I would look forward to watch Kyle in MiLwaukee. Exactly the kind of young team willing to embrace him and his passing. He will get along just fine and I do believe he will improve that team more than the trade machine suggests bc he's still improving his shooting.

But Tony to Sacramento, that's cruel. I don't see Pop doing that. I don't see him trading Kyle either but Ill play along and Milwaukee is excellent for a young guy like him, they will play him and Kidd will love his passing ability and his smarts.TBH I can see that trade be something the Spurs come to regret on Kyle's front. It's like Cojo going to Toronto, he's in such a much better team and situation for himself. I can totally see it work for Kyle, but for Tony that's cruel. Nowhere more palatable to send Tony?

what city does erin barry live in now?

Yeah, I didn't see Milwaukee being the one to give up a pick, which meant it would be SA on the hook. The thought of it being a first rounder just made me cringe. But if the Bucks were getting Noel? Yeah, they might. I like the thought of that better, because I just hate the thought of giving up a pick for a rental.

The Bucks gave Monroe a max contract just last season for a reason. They obviously wanted a big man, so I think they would be interested in getting one in return.

Of course, no one has mentioned that they could trade Manu straight up for Monroe. I just thought I'd say that because I haven't seen enough people fight for one evening.

I mean if we want to be trolling about it, the Spurs are better prepared to send both Manu and Mills somewhere... Move on with Anderson, Simmons, Bertans, Forbes, and Dejounte in the youth front and ship off the oldies.

[Russo21]

Someone in the front office once said if you've heard rumours about a trade then it is already dead. I don't mind Monroe but hopefully they are in stealth mode for a player who is a better fit.

Well history suggests this is bull

[Mal]

How this is possible ? We are sending Green ? Parker ? LMA, Gasol, Kawhi, Manu all are staying. How this deal is possibile ?

Good point. It might have been plan B or C in case they didn't get Gasol. That would make more sense and I would rather have Gasol.
