Stein: Spurs Have Emerged as as Trade Suitor for Avery Bradley

[DPG21920]

I'd hate for the Spurs to give the 1st round pick for someone they likely won't be able to re-sign.

Also, without Mills money, they could give Bradley that money. They would have his rights from my understanding.

To get out of Fifty's contract it would be worth it.

Why, drafting another Derrick White type talent is too risky to give up?

Take this with a grain of salt (back in January)

[vy65]

Too good to be true

[Big Empty]

As long as the pick is lottery protected.

[Ice009]

Pull the trigger, squeeze it, do whatever with that trigger.

What about to dump Mills money and give them an easier path to flexibility

Can you get out of the Mills contract without giving up a first, though? Is that possible? I don't think it is.

I see no reason whatsoever for the Clippers to want Patty's contract. I think they'll end up trading Bradley for another expiring and a 2nd round pick or two.

They may not want Mills contract but they do want first round picks which aren’t easy to come by

We also have the hardest remaining schedule and who knows if/when Kawhi is coming back. That 1st-round pick is an asset. Not saying I wouldn't trade it for the right deal, just saying I'd hate to see it go.

Exactly, Spurs are only 5 games out of a playoff spot.

Would be awesome if true

We don't have to trade Bradley at all, tbh. We'd be better off letting him walk than taking that 50 Mills contract.

[Ice009]

Sounds like the Spurs would be looking to re-sign him if they can get a trade done for him. Sounds like they might be even be willing to let other players walk like maybe Green if they can get him.

If they can get Bradley, they should also look at trading Green somewhere.

Nah - disagree. If you get a first for Blake. First for Bradley, then move Lou later for a first? You won’t have a lot of salary to worry about with DJ gone after that and so many firsts. It’s a great way to rebuild.

Just give him Mills money.

You will take that 50Mills contract. You need culture over there.

its what the spurs did to get rid of RJ ...

Still, late 1st round picks don't cost $37 mil or whatever's left on Patty's deal. If they want him, it'd be great, but they'll easily get a better offer I suppose.

[vy65]

I couldn’t think of a better place to have no pressure than with the Clippers during a rebuild.

You ing earned it you fat lazy you ...

It’s not that simple of math. You have to look at the future. Picks are hard to get. They will need to spend some money anyways. With Jordan gone and possible other trades in the future Mills money may be money they are spending anyways is what I’m saying.

Is it a slam dunk? No. But for an expiring contract getting a first rounder is damn hard.

[DPG21920]

LAC if they let Jordan walk, in 19/20 has like no money on the books.

Hahahahaha

Send Danny Green and Fathead for him

[cd021]

Amin Elhausen has a well respected theory about how Doc Rivers makes decisions.

1. Did the player play for me before?
If not then:
2. Did player play well against me?

Mills shot 57% on 3s in that 2015 series so that might be the have an impact on the trade discussion

[SpurPadre]

Send Danny Green and Fathead for him

No, LDN's defense on Curry and Thompson is too important.
