i like what little i've seen from shved.
Would only go Bonner for MaM and/or Ayres for Cunningham. The Wolves absolutely burned their two best trade assets. They have next to nothing to offer.
Otto Porter is likely on the block, but only for a near-star. They won't give him up otherwise until they resolve the Ariza situation. I would take him and even give up a first, though. He hasn't been good this season, but he looks versatile enough to fill in three positions, and his youth and deal make thay worth a late pick.
Who would the Spurs trade for Turner though tbh? Expiring and a 1st roundeR?
I'd trade a 1st, Bonner, De Colo, and/or Ayers or some variation of that for Taj Gibson in a heartbeat.
This rumor that the Spurs are interested in trading for Boozer, Gibson, AND Mike Dunleavy in a deal that would involve Bonner, Diaw, and De Colo is just unrealistic. Money doesn't work.

Even though Dunleavy is a better player than anyone they're likely to bring in at SF, he wouldn't be a good fit and if you've been paying attention, isn't the type of SF they're seeking.
It's clear they're seeking a strong, athletic SF, that either has a reputation as a defender (Young, Jeffers), or at least fits the physical profile of one (Maggette, Brown; though he's really strictly an SG), height/shooting be damned.
This is why I see De Colo and Baynes for Gee, as a more likely move. He's highly available, they obviously liked him in the past and though he's overpaid, it's irrelevant, given their flexibility and the fact that his contract is not guaranteed for next season.
Turner wouldn't make sense with the current roster, but he could with the post Duncan/Ginobili one. I'm not a fan (not good enough to be a featured player on a good team, nor suited for being a role player on one), but let's face it, he's of the ilk they'll have to at least consider because they're not getting any stars in free agency and they're not re-building. Plus, he is attainable (expiring contracts and a 1st), affordable (3 years/$21-24M) and in theory still has some upside left.
Bonner, Ayers, Decolo, and all/any Picks for T. Gibson and M. Dunleavy!
Money works.. I Think..... Throw in C. Joesph's scrub ass too!
Yes to any wing* above 6'5, with more defense than Beli, and with more talent than Ayres
had to specify a wing cause we might end up with another tweeter for chrissake

I think Beli is a perfect trade chip. I like him, not gonna lie, but it's pretty obvious he is really overrated. It's easy for fans to fall in love with him. He can score a lot in the right matchups. But Beli struggles against quality opponents and he can't play a lick of D. His contract is ultra low. Perfect trade bait. Pair him with Bonner, and any team wanting salary relief has a good pair. TBH, you could do a lot worse than both of them in a salary dump deal.
BTW what does Evan Turner really bring to the Spurs??? Fill me in. He shoots 29% from 3. He shoots 43% from the field. He isn't a very good defender, or passer, and he turns the ball over. I don't know much about the guy, but does he really help our team out?
Shved is going to be a solid pro. Trade for him in a heartbeat.
tiago/boner/diaw/colo/ayers for noah/boozer..... done
Plus Shved is already wearing a facemask. He should fit right in.
Is that all?
Any thoughts on Patty Mills future with the team? At the moment he has played his into a multi year deal.
I don't want Evan Turner, so stop with this stupid Turner talk. He's not a fit for this Spurs team.
As for Patty Mills, I'll say it again - Tim Duncan and Tony Parker asked the Spurs the keep him on the team beyond this season. Now, that doesn't mean much, as he still could get traded, but I'd say they would only trade Patty if it was a great deal.
It's all about how he finishes the year. If he can show himself able to hang in a legit playoff rotation, he could be in line for Barea money. If Joseph beats him out he may only get a slight raise. He had some awesome games before signing his current deal as well.
Don't worry he won't be coming here anyways! I agree on the second part there about Patty.
I'll be stunned if he gets more than what Neal is making with the Bucks. If he does, it won't be from the Spurs.
Can we just establish the Spurs are interested in undersized everything
The Spurs FO exists to draft internationals, to sign D-Leaguers, and to drum up interest for every free agent

So you want to trade two guys who are rotation players (if Mills is one of them) for two guys who may struggle to crack the rotation period? I don't care that both guys we'd get were lottery picks - neither has shown anything showing they were worthy of it. You just don't make a trade like that mid-season when you're a contender.
Not saying it wouldn't look out in the long run, and they are likely looking for a much different package if they were to give up Porter, but just hard to get my head around given the situation.
Splitter to Pheonix makes more and more sense tbh. They have plenty of picks and need a center...
On the other hand it looks like another season where Splitter won't have the impact expected...
Splitter + Beli for Okafor + Goodwin and Wizz pick (17th right now)

I don't see the team trading for rookies or someone without any playoff experience. If there are any young players to be included Pop must *really* think those guys are a good fit. I don't get the obsession with Ayres though I mean he's mobile and he's a good locker room presence...and then what
Can anyone refresh my memory: we traded rights to Dragic for rights to Malik Hairston and a pick that would become DeJuan Blair?
