Is bonner a trade piece because he has an expiring or something? I don't think teams around the league see any on court value in that guy. Only Pop does.
huummm

Spur for life! Getting 2/12 mil deal this off-season
Spur for life! Getting 2/12 mil deal this off-season
Expiring deal of $3.9 million can be moved for a player making as much as $5.2 million. When packaged with De Colo it jumps to nearly $8 million in returning salary ( the Spurs could acquire a player making that much). Bad teams with long term deals could be interested.
It is the Kings...
Per Ken Berger:
Might be of note with regards to Wilson Chandler. With Spurs ability to save them money next year + a first rounder, seems like it could be a legit chance if the Spurs are interested.- The Nuggets, who stumbled into the break losing four straight road games by a combined 110 points, are looking to revive trade talks for point guard Andre Miller, who hasn't played since Dec. 30. The Sixers are one team that could absorb his $5 million salary, but Denver would prefer to find a team that needs Miller for a playoff push and thus would be willing to give up an asset. With an underachieving team and payroll that is clogged up for the next two seasons, the Nuggets are expected to be active at the deadline. One person in contact with Denver officials said everyone on the roster is up for trade discussion except Ty Lawson
I think if this were the old CBA and Bonner could be brought back after a buyout, a trade would have already happened. If OKC ia serious abouy going into the tax, I think they are the only team who can outbid the Spurs. Keeping Chandler out of Blue may well be worth giving up a second asset.
Here's the big question: Would you be okay with the Spurs sending out Joseph or Mills and taking back Miller to make the trade work?
I would... throw Errors and Boylen for free too...
I'd easily give up Mills or CoJo and take back Miller if it meant getting Wilson Chandler back tbh.
CoJo yes, but I'd have to think twice about Mills. His offense has been important this year.
The Spurs have 3 backup PGs, 4 if you count Manu who will probably end up assuming the role later in the playoffs. They also have 3 useless bigs on the roster. Ideally, the Spurs can make a move for someone talented enough who Pop will trust to crack the playoff rotation but you can pretty much sell me on any deal that balances the roster out tbh.
Then what about this:

Using Philly's cap space will probably be the easiest for the Spurs if they give Brown two of his players. May still cost an asset, though. The Nuggets save about $20 Million over this year and next year, so a deal could come cheaply. The only concern (besides whether the teams would go for it) is the lack of a third-string center, which is a big deal with Splitter being injured and Duncan being old.
PG: Parker, Miller, Joseph
SG: Green, Manu, Beli
SF:Leonard, Chandler
PF: Diaw, Randolph, Davies
C: Duncan, Splitter
They'd have two open spots left for bigs, but they'd need some luck with buyouts.
^Zero chance Pop sends out a 1/3 of his roster at the trade deadline. I think the Nuggets can hold out for a better deal for Chandler. Maybe I'm overvaluing him but I'd think they would want more than just straight cap savings. For example, i think an OKC package of Thabo + one of their young guys (Lamb or Jackson) + a 1st rounder beats any potential deal the Spurs can offer.
Btw, I'd be just fine with that roster for the Spurs, just too convoluted of a scenario for a team that doesn't make big changes tbh.
I agree. A straight trade for Chandler is probably the best we can hope the Spurs pull off. But it would take sending out about $8 Million to take back Miller in addition to Chandler. Since Denver can't take back four players, the Spurs would have to find a third team. The Spurs probably have to offer two firsts to have a chance unless they make a huge deal.
Ilyasova is arguably the Bucks’ best trading chip and several teams are believed to be interested in him. According to multiple sources, Ilyasova has expressed a desire to be traded, apparently having had his fill of the Bucks’ continual rebuilding project.

OKC would crush everyone if they made this offer for Chandler:

thanks for the additional cap research that I am too lazy to get tbh. I think Chandler is a long shot but I thought trading RJ was impossible as well. Hope the Spurs can find a team that overvalues a 1st rounder in this year's draft.
Probably my second-favorite trade target behind Chandler. Bonner, De Colo and sweeteners for Ilyasova and Wolters would be a good offer.

Ilyasova downplayed talk about him wanting out of Milwaukee and declined to comment on whether he or his agent, Andy Miller, had requested a trade.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Milwaukee remains agreeable to helping Gary Neal move onto a compe ive team, league sources tell Yahoo. Bucks talking on several fronts.
Welp, it's settled then. Gary Neal back to the Spurs for De Colo. The Spurs' "big" move.
Ilyasova would be an incredible get. Unfortunately, we have literally nothing realistic to offer for him.
Lamb has played very well and Reggie Jackson is so much better than Miller. I would absolutely love if OKC did that trade. Reggie is a huge part of what they do and Lamb is contributing. The lift they may get from Wilson over Lamb would be negated IMO by the gap between Reggie/Miller.
I don't see why people would want Ersan so much or any offensive big man. I mean, if it's for very limited assets (Bonner/De Colo/Baynes/Aryes...) absolutely. But whomever the Spurs get will be the 4th best big on the team and likely wouldn't get very many minutes unless there was an injury.
