1st round pick would be late round, dont need murray anymore if we get kyrie, aldridge is a cancer who will leave anyways, green is a one trick pony and an offensive liability. Dont think its giving up too much.
He's disgruntled bc he knows lebron is leaving after this year

- Agree about Murray, he's the easiest to give up. He seems to get along well with LeBron and is enough of an upside prospect to matter to the Cavs
- Mostly agree about the pick, but even late firsts have value, especially to a FO that does a pretty good job drafting from that position
- Disagree about Aldridge, Kyrie is already a demonstrably worse cancer. The Spurs are also short on bigs and Aldridge is a good defender. His value on offense would go up with less pressure on him too, imo
- Hugely disagree about Green, he is an elite defender and on offense plays really well off an elite drive-and-kick PG
If the Spurs can get Kyrie while keeping Aldridge and Green, I would take almost any deal. Giving up both is too much to swallow unless it somehow means getting a pick instead of giving one up.
If Spurs are not interested in trading for Kyrie and have not even contacted the Cavs, someone isn't doing their job right and should be fired. This isn't a bible chapel, it's a basketball team and if it makes the team better pursue at all costs.
Rose begged the Spurs to sign him, and they didn't. Doubt Drunkford has even woken up yet much less called the Cavs.
Spurs like what they have in $50,000,000 Pity and soon to be paid Tony Parker
Kawhi and Kyie could keep us relevant for years to come. Also would assist in attracting other free agents. Im willing to part with LaMarcus for that.
We're not trading for Kyrie. Rose had SA as his first choice and we didn't even want him for 2.1M. This tells me we are hanging on to and developing Murray. We might still move LMA, but it will be for diminished returns unless it happens mid season.
Yep, if they're not at least trying, then this whole FO needs to be fired for that and the irresponsible moves they've made this off-season by overpaying Patty and Pau.
Or it could be they didn't want to pay an often injured guard to replace an injured guard.
But agree on Kyrie. Looks like Pop and R.C. are content to run it back with this year's team, hanging their hat on the 'we were up in Oakland until Kawhi went down.'
That's been pretty M.O. for them on deep playoff runs / le runs. They bring the band back for another run, get crushed, then decide to retool.
Yep, they love trying to fit square pegs in round holes and they when they finally realize it doesn't work, they'll try and do what they should have done in the first place.
Peter or Julianna Holt needs to step in and put a stop to some of these deals.
Or they're holding out for Lbj. If we get Kylie Irving Jenner, that possibility goes out the window for sure. This is assuming Lbj grows up and realizes he would win not 2, not 3 so on and so forth. And yes, we will not let Lma go for nothing.
How are you going to entice LBJ to come to the Spurs if you keep wasting the money on scrubs? You're going to want max flexibility to build a great team around him and Kawhi. You can't do that if you waste all the money on scrubs and washed up players. Most of this free agency period has been handled with gross incompetence by the Spurs FO.

ESPN reporting that Kyrie "very badly" wants to join the Knicks, for whatever that's worth.
ESPN should just ing die already. Silly jews.
If I am the Wolves I keep Wiggins. Talent at his position is more valuable and he is three years younger. They've had a great off season, moving Wiggins for Irving would be seriously over thinking it.
If Kyrie really wants to waste his prime in NYC, so be it.
FIFY
Seriously, this is all about LeBron wanting to trade Kyrie early in the FA period for PG or Butler behind his back. Kyrie simply decided to not leave his fate in LeBrons hands. I'll take that kind of disgruntled any day.
He doesn't look very happy.
A glimpse into the future.
Pop and Kawhi is really all you need to entice him. They will always be able to figure out the money part when the time comes. Another thing that doesnt often get talked about is the Spurs connections around the league, making it easier. Ala Tiago.
Dont forget about Rudy. 2 years with a player option. If he recovers fully from his injury and performs well, it's a steal. If not and opts in, we can trade his expiring contract. Also, if he plays well and opts in, that's Lbj, KL, and RG in the lineup.
Regardless, we'll have flexibility if they want it. They know what they're doing, dude.
This guy still looking for a team? smh
Like that nobody has a source
Just saw his twitter, he's a Knicks fan
This is going 100 pages if Kyrie isn't traded before September.
