SA would be absolute idiots to refuse Nurkic if he was put on the table at a reasonable price. I seriously wonder whether people here just don't watch the Blazers or what, he's being severely underrated. Also, I don't know if you saw it, Dude, but a report on Dame came out a while ago and he said literally that he "could weather the storm", meaning his loyalty is not dependant on immediate team success. More than likely, considering they've sustained a lot of losses and Nurk, even if he comes back at the end of this season, probably won't be in full shape until next offseaso, the Blazers FO will have talked to Dame about the possibility of doing a one-year semi-tank and retooling the team for a run next season.
Considering all of this, and also watching the decline that LMA has had from last season to this one (both defensively and offensively, though the new 3pt shot could offset that to a degree if Aldrige mixed it well with post play), and considering Portland's run would most likely be in 20-21 when LMA is 35, I would make the educated guess that the Blazers would not do a LMA unless we included assets to sweeten it, which is obviously against our own objectives. I would love to be proved wrong by PATFO though...
spurs need a alpha male on offense who can score +30 on some nights and consistent +20ppg...mccollum go get that dude
Am I missing something? A lot of people keep saying for the Spurs to wait until the summer to make trades but doesn't DD have a player option???? He undoubtedly will not resign with the Spurs nor would I want him at more money than he makes now. So we have to get something or we end up with basically nothing from the kaweasel trade. You can wait on LA but why would you he is playing well with this new 3 clearly shows he has put time in and a team in need at the deadline might give us a good deal. But that's a wait and see however DD must go. I don't hate the dude but can't risk ending up with nothing.
Poeltl, Keldon. That’s not nothing. I also don’t believe that the DD/LMA tandem was anything but a bridge to the future, and not what you build around. If you’re not building around it, it’s expendable.
Lamarcus Aldridge was a fallback option in case Marc gasol ended up staying in Memphis.
Demar DeRozan is just a placeholder
Why would the salary freed up from DDR be worse off than to take on something other team willing to part for DDR? We could probably look to sign at a position we are in a need then to take on something of a compromise. No tanking team would give us their pick for DDR and any team giving us a pick is gonna be late pick which probably not gonna be very useful.
If history is an indicator, there won't be any major move.
But, the cir stances have changed, and this team is no longer contending.
The biggest question is how does PATFO handle the playoff run. Do they think it's within their grasp or are they gonna back down and retool/build for next season.
Agreed on the pick, plus this year draft is going to be average. Which player would help the Spurs better than the way Derozan is playing right now? If the Spurs can resign him at no more than 27 millions a year, I think that it is better to keep him.
The Spurs are 21-26, which puts them 2.5 games back from the playoffs and only 3.5 games from from top-10 lottery odds. League executives wonder if they’ll choose to break up their crowded roster. Older players like DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge are still effective but are blocking younger players from earning more minutes. Dejounte Murray isn’t available, but there are four other players I’d be targeting in trades. 4 hours ago – via Kevin O'Connor @ The Ringer
They believe DJM has a higher ceiling that Walker and white?
This feels like when they beefed up their talking on George Hill to raise his value for a trade.
They can and more than likely will work with his representation on finding a palatable resolution, which should be an extend and trade . . . let's hope they're not fooled by this latest stretch into being the suckers to give it to him.
Either way, I wouldn't worry about him leaving for nothing. The only teams with significant cap space are re-building ones, who he makes no sense for. Plus, by all accounts he has a good relationship with the organization, so there's no incentive for him to not do right by them, so long as he's also getting what he wants.
O'Connor is one of the better writers around, but this segment is the latest example of how clueless the national media is about this organization. The only trades they might make, are salary dumping Carroll and finding a stop gap PF solution (Belinelli and/or Lyles could be involved), possibly in a 3 team trade.
Mills is unavailable for sentimental/intangible reasons and why would any of the youth be available at the moment? They need to re-build and virtually all of it is more valuable to them than the league right now, because none possess the pedigree or are established enough to where they'd get enough back to make it worth their while.
I can see a sign and trade with derozan in the offseason ...
no one should be untouchable. with that being said, now is not the best time to trade murray. he will be more valuable in the future.
And yet the Spurs, seemingly, as well as some here, consider DD the franchise cornerstone now.
This dude doesn't know what he's talking about Aldridge was the first priority back then I remember there being articles saying that the Spurs were planning to get him a year in advance.
If the spurs commit to a full rebuild, it makes sense to sell high and DeRozan as the teams best player is the most valuable asset. Ideally you can move both DeRozan and Aldridge because it makes no sense to keep either one in that scenario.
I think regardless if pop stays or not, spurs prefer to keep one and in that case I prefer they keep DeRozan, emo chokes and all. Aldridge is clearly losing steps to father time which means it would be best to trade him before his value declines further. I don't think the spurs have a great market for Aldridge, it's a tough situation.
You don't. You really think Poop is going to essentially admit trading for DD was the wrong move by moving on from him? Not likely.
I said nothing about DD I was saying that it was untrue that Gasol was the target over Aldridge. Everything written back then clearly stated Aldridge was the target from the start of that 14-15 season. agree with you 100% that I don't see Pop moving on from DD.
You are correct. When the Spurs delayed giving Kawhi his contract extension, by 8 months, it was so they'd have $ to make their best bid for Aldridge, when Aldridge reached free agency. They signed Aldridge on July 9, 2015, then finally gave Kawhi his extension on July 16.
