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.

Splitter plays almost half of the game and has the best defensive rating in the league, that alone is the exact opposite of situational defense. I never called Bonner underrated, I implied he is useful, his +/- is pretty hard to ignore...

Sanders isn't going to live up to that contract. They over payed. He is still a very good prospect ,but historically, athletic defensive big men take 7 or 8 years before they before they are able to become true defensive studs. I'm not getting in to this again with you. You were wrong... clearly though. Its not an agenda to say one player is clearly better than the other.

so, how do we value this years Spurs 1st rounder? (pretty save to predict it won't be better than #25)
(and yes, I know the hype about the 2014 draft class)
some reasons why they should trade this pick:
win now. window might be open one more season, considering Manu looks very good this year and Beli is a fantastic fit.
a 1st round contract cuts into the 2015 cap space. (not by much, but still)
enough young players in the pipeline (Hanga, Bertans, Jean-Charles)
return for a first rounder might be pretty high, considering the heating up market.

who? either Nets and Knicks would kill to get Lowry and the reported price is a 1st rounder (which both teams don't have)
3 way trade? one example:
we want Johnson.
Raptors want picks and cap relieve.
Nets want Lowry.

it's a bit tricky, but there are some packages, that deliver Amir to Spurs (and even Teletovic, if they wanted it), Lowry to Nets, and a bunch of picks (Spurs 1st), young player (CJ) and expirings (Bonner, De Colo) to Raptors. one or two more fillers will change place as well. at 15th Spurs might even be able to unload Ayres in that process, if they get Amir he makes even less sense. (so the deal would replace Bonner and Ayres with Amis and Teletovic. pretty nice upgrade in my books)

[Mel_13]

I don't believe that the Raptors will trade Johnson for the Spurs' first rounder plus filler. They'll trade Lowry for that, but not Johnson.

[cd021]

Not exactly Spurs related but Zach Randolph for Ryan Anderson has been mentioned as a rumor on SI.om


Could drop Memphis further out of the playoff picture for the time being. Gasol is out for at least 3 weeks and they are hovering at around .500.

[Budkin]

How can we get Z-Bo? Ok, I know we can't but that would be sweet.

[TD 21]

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.

They need a combination of size and strength, which makes their interest in Howard doubly suspect.

Snell is too thin and too inexperienced to be relied on. If Leonard goes down in a series against the Nuggets, Warriors, Rockets, Thunder, Heat or Pacers, whoever ultimately ends up with this spot will have to play.


Another name to keep an eye on is Rush. He's recently come back from another major knee injury, has been utilized sparingly by Corbin and is an expiring contract. He could likely be had for little and might even end up being a buyout candidate. He's another 2.5, but the difference between him and Snell/Hardaway is, he's strong enough to guard the bulkier SF's. I'd prefer Williams, but he wouldn't be a bad consolation prize.

Guys unless you're a bolded member, make sure you post your trade ideas here and not in a separate thread because Bruno will lock it immediately. Sorry, forum rules.

Bobcats have waived James Southerland yesterday. Spurs were linked with him during draft day even if it doesn't seem to be an option with Spurs roster currently being full.

We could see if he eventually joins the D-League, he could work out the timing where the Toros are at the top of the allocation list or something. A lot of the new forwards for Austin have underperformed.

Bruno's enforcer huh

[Texas_Ranger]

Release Ayers and we're good.

[Chinook]

I love Bruno locking down threads like he were Kawhi Leonard. I also don't see him letting anyone post trade speculation threads outside of here and the Think Tank for long.

Gotta have a thick skin on an online forum. Even more so with ST, which is really an adult forum given the allowed content. Bruno is one of the best people on ST and certainly one of the most level headed and balanced you will find here. I am thankful for him because otherwise the ThinkTank and even the Spurs Forum page would otherwise be much like the NBA or "The Club" forum pages (unsuitable for general browsing). He makes reading and participating a more enjoyable activity. Managing trade threads helps, it keeps the main Spurs forum page available (and uncluttered) for more pertinent topics. At this point in the season, coalescing trade threads into a single one makes sense. In the off season the ThinkTank is where you want to go for that.

Brush off the fact that the thread got closed and lets focus on why we are here. Enjoy the site and know that Bruno mean no harm to you. He is a great guy.

Who is your favorite Spur of all time?

[ElNono]

So what's the latest scoop? We're getting fat Gasol?

[DPG21920]

Some trade chatter with regards to Philly parting with Hawes to get Asik. That would be excellent for HOU. He would be theoretically a very good fit.

I don't know why PHI wants ASIK, let alone giving up picks for him. They suck even in the East and they have Noel whom they invested a lot in. ASIK/Noel on papers appears to be an awful fit.

[ElNono]

Yeah, makes no sense. Hawes has been great for Philly, and he's a guy with range that can space the floor for Noel...
