De Colo and Bonner back next season

Not only will Bonner be back next season, but he will eventually become the head coach after Pop retires, then he'll become the owner. When he dies, his ghost will haunt the home court, too. He's a curse, an itch you can't scratch. The er will not go away...

Splitter is back.

Splitter is back.

We'll have two more NBA players then we've had in a while. It's refreshing to see a Spurs team field a team with more NBA players than D-League !

only pussycats sprain their shoulder

trade please

[tholdren]

Isn't he already on a 10 day contract (the second one) with the Bulls?

If not, he would be very useful. Decent swingman, good on offense, mediocre defender.

he blows.

You know, I like Quincy Acy for some reason. He seems like the type of scrappy player who would have random heroic performances in big moments against players significantly better than him. Obviously ANOTHER big isn't a huge priority. But if the team makes a huge trade which shakes up the big rotation, I'd be happy with him being one of the players who ended up in Silver and Black.

Cool. They have a lot of pieces and will be players in both straight-up and multi-team deals.

Boy we are thin if Timmy is starting the 4th and sure we wouldn't have made this run w/o him but if Splitter is limited we should play Baynes more.

[$pursDynasty]

man I knew Tiago would take it up soft, glad he hit it but you could hear it in Sean ******'s voice , he isn't excited for the return of the finesse he (as do I) prefer Ayers going top shelf.

Here is a simple trade that helps us out on the wing.

Toronto gets:
Corey Joseph-gets to go back home to canada to play. Toronto could use a young backup PG

Spurs get
Austin Daye- I am not expecting this guy to be an all star. I understand he has limitations. But he is a 6'10" SF that can really shoot. He brings length and an actual backup SF. could also play te 4 in small ball.

One of Jason Thompson, Carl Landry or Derrick Williams needs to be traded before the tax deadline next season. The Kings are only $8 Million under the projected tax threshold with only 10 players on the roster and with Isaiah Thomas unsigned. I think any of them would be a good get for the team, with Williyams being the best, followed by Thompson and then Landry.

I know another big isn't a huge need, but sending out Ayres and Bonner and receiving one of the three would upgrade the big rotation tremendously. Maybe something like this to piggyback off another's trade idea:

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lah3799

The Spurs lose some spacing, but they get a legitmate fourth big. Sure, Landry is a better fit, but that contract is horrible for someone who's just a move-accomplished Blair. I guess he'd be really good Diaw insurance. But that's not worth that much. Obviously Williams is still intriguing, but his stock is still decently high, and he is only owed about half of what the others are. Less incentive to trade him away.

The rest of the deal is filler. Securing a PG who's under contract for next season other than Parker is a must, and McCallum has some upside. Joseph being traded helps clear the books next season, as does Ayres being traded. It pretty much makes acquiring Thompson cash-neutral. Daye adds some spacing and is cheap.

For the Kings it saves a ton of money when they really need it for only a small fee. Their big rotation would be strong, especially with Williams being able to start. The guard rotation is weak, but they can fix that in the off-season with their extra cash. The Raptors gain a cheap fan favorite for only the cost of an end-of-bench player. Really good deal for them...maybe too good.

I really like this trade. Not a huge trade but Thompson is a huge upgrade over Ayers and I always liked Daye.

Thanks! Did he forget Malcolm Thomas or is Thomas not a cap hit at all because he was claimed off waivers? I thought he'd count for the time he was with the Spurs.

This trade would be great. I like it.

[DPG21920]

The reason I said I am fully on board with going after another scorer is because of Gino breaking down. I said I was concerned with his hammy injury last year and the subsequent results just like this year. Even though his minutes were managed meticulously, he still broke down and his shot was broken after the first hammy injury this year. Then came the 2nd injury to the hammy that will keep him out a month.

Even with limited minutes against bench players his production was unsustainable post hammy. Pop/Spurs still relied on him for offense though and when he was healthy he was creating/getting to the rim. That happened less after the injury and he cannot be relied upon IMO with this second injury.

I know the Spurs need a back up SF, but they need a 3rd offensive option and it's clear Pop doesn't really believe anyone outside of Manu can be that option. If that is the case, a trade for a legit 3rd offensive option is priority IMO.

Well, even though a 10-day player isn't enough proof to definitively say anything, it does shed some light on the Spurs thinking. Pop's comments would seem to echo the above logic as well. With Danny/Kawhi due back and Tiago already back, it seems the concern is offense. Manu is out for quite a while it appears and everyone, including Pop saw what the injuries did last year.

The guys the Spurs will be getting back (at least in Pop's eyes) will help a lot more defensively than offensively. So with that in mind, and things like signing Shannon Brown, I would watch for trades of an offensive nature.

I understand what you mean, but I disagree the Spurs should focus on offense for the 15th spot. They have plenty of that, and they can get more by changing their play-calling. They've weathered the Manu storm too many times to be concerned about how to score without him.

But they're completely dependent on the New Two for defense. One can't even get on foul trouble against a good team without risking a defensive meltdown. They need defense not just until everyone is healthy, but also as insurance.

Pop may well do what you're suggesting, but hopefully he won't make that a priority for potential trade targets.

[DPG21920]

It won't be for the 15th roster spot in reality. Someone already on the roster (including Manu) will get pushed down. With Manu severely limited in ability at this point, they really don't have a lot of offense. Relying only TP/Tim to create is very, very difficult. Spurs have shooters, but that is different. They have good ball movement, but that is different. They don't have scorers/play makers outside of TP/Tim and what most of us believe to be Kawhi.

Heck, if we are being honest, we only have 1 guy on the team that can handle the ball effectively in a playoff type setting with regards to running an offense through that player.

[DPG21920]

But my best case hope is they can do a trade that brings in both (a legit 3rd scoring option & wing defender). Whether it's through a trade and FA signing, two trades, one trade, a trade + buyout signing, I hope they can do both.

Our ball movement is non existent TBH.
