Randle will be a better player, IMO.

How good will the Pacers be should they decide to shop Granger's expiring contract? I would bet a lot of teams would throw some pretty good talent at that trade.
So many teams waving the flag due to cap space. Wonder where Pau Gasol will end up, a complete waste of talent under dantoni
Tim Hardaway Jr.'s name was mentioned in those Lowry trade rumors. Depends if you consider him a SF or not (also if Malcolm Thomas doesn't pan out); possible 3 team trade between Spurs, Knicks, and Raptors?
I don't think the Spurs will do anything at all, they are status quo with everything even bonner and his expiring deal as well as all our bench scrubs.
I think they'll want to keep Hardaway in Toronto. If he is included it's probably because the Raptors asked for him to be. He's probably the only thing of value they'll get unless some other team wants Felton. I'd take him for De Colo but I doubt he'd play any more than Nando has.
If World Peace does go as part if the deal and gets bought out, I would still be intrigued by him, however.
Bonner/De Colo and or Joseph for a decent 3....Aminu comes to mind...
Ideal trade gets us one of Hardaway or Snell and a random SF...
Something like :
Spurs get : Hardaway Jr and Gerald Wallace
Knicks get : Lowry and Danny Green
Raptors get : Felton and Shumpert + 2015 pick from Boston
Celtics get : Bonner + Prigioni
Snell and Hardaway are slender SG's/SF's, which is not what the Spurs need. They need a true SF (or SF/PF), with strength.
As bad as he is at this point and as non Spurs like as he is, if World Peace ends up being traded to Toronto, where he'll inevitably be bought out, the Spurs would be flat out negligent to not express interest.
That's why you get one of them AND a SF. They serve as Manu insurance at first and eventual long term replacement. Higher upside than Green and no need to pay them before a while...
Belinelli and to a lesser extent, De Colo, are Ginobili insurance. Why overpay (which they'd have to, because it's not like the Bulls and Knicks couldn't use Snell and Hardaway or would have any reason to trade them) for players with limited upside, which they don't need?
Spurs have some movable pieces that could net them some value because of all the juicy expirings but yes, Spurs FO will most likely stand pat once again hoping to rely totally on Duncan even at 36. This Fo does some great things but gotta call them out on so many missed opportunities.
I just said why tbh. Whoever gets Green now is the one overpaying for limited upside...
He's plays like more of a PF than a SF. Can't really shoot but is athletic and long plus he can board. I was hoping we would sign him in the off season.
We'd need a package of 1st rounders or Orlando to stop laughing at our offer. Afflalo may wind up being an allstar. His numbers have been impressive 22 ppg on 47% FG shooting.
I really don't think their is realistic alternative to Danny Green for the money. Plus he has 3 seasons worth of experience with our team, that alone is a leg up.
I don't know if the Spurs need size or length at SF. I haven't seen Snell play very much but he seems to be a Leonard type. Long & athletic as opposed to the more physical types like Stephen Jackson. Those big and physical types tend to pick up fouls by using their body. Slender players usually rely on their agility to stay in front of their man.
I wonder how long it will be until Baam proposes Green/Splitter/Bonner for Joe Johnson/Blatche.
Great trade idea btw
But trading Green makes less and less sense as the season progresses, this summer was the smart time to do it if they wanted to do it so I'll try to focus more on Bonner.
BTW how is Sanders doing? He must be the front runner for DVOP, MIP, and the MVP. His Bucks must be thriving right now because of his outstanding play.

Meanwhile Splitter just has the best defensive rating in the league, is all...
Splitter is a situational defender playing with 3 HOFamers and nothing you can say will change that fact, it's like arguing that Bonner is underrated because of his superior +-...
Sanders has off the court issues so not sure what you can make of his play so far but feel free to push your agenda.
BTW, tomorrow is December 15th and most of the players signed this summer will be eligible to be traded. It might trigger some moves.
It will be interesting to see what Houston is able to get for Asik, given that the whole league knows that Morey needs to offload him.
