NBA Trade Deadline 2020

[Chomag]

I love my Spurs but yes the FO is very over rated

[spurspl]

where it the idiot that said Dubs wouldn't take Wiggins

all idiots are now quite bc they are surprised how bad spurs are.

[Chinook]

Warriors traded Russell for negative value. Wonder if they have another trade to get rid of Wiggins given how many roster spots they've seemed to being clearing.

[RC_Drunkford]

Aldridge's trade kicker is a . Right now, it would be about $5.1M and it would get paid by the Spurs. Aldridge's current salary of $24M would get used for matching purposes, but his new salary including the kicker is what would count against the acquiring team's cap.

There's a reason I keep talking about finding ways to dump him, just to clear the cap space. Paul Milsap is injured, probably for the rest of the year, and is expiring. The Spurs could trade Aldridge for Milsap, getting virtually nothing in return, but clearing Aldridge's $24M in cap space next year. Denver would actually benefit from having Aldridge on the roster instead of Milsap, and the Spurs could start building their future.

if they wanted to move Aldridge they would've not guaranteed his salary. 7 million guaranteed would've made it very easy to package him

[RC_Drunkford]

Rockets traded Jordan Bell to Memphis for Bruno Caboclo. WTF? They hate all the bigs

[ZeusWillJudge]

The Spurs could easily move Aldridge if they didn't fully guarantee his contract. 7 million guaranteed would've been super tradeable, but of course these idiots had to that up too

Full guaranted PLUS a 15% trade kicker.

GS nabbing picks. They don't even need to rebuild and yet they're already better prepared for the future than the Spurs. FO here in SA...

Also managing the timing of their contracts. It's almost like they are being run better than the Spurs. But that can't be true... sniff, sniff.

[DPG21920]

Depends on the pick protections obviously, but a good deal for Minnesotta. Wiggins was never going to work there and this move will supposedly make KAT happy ( for another year probably ).

Only top 3 protected for one year wow! GS did great.

[FkLA]

Just trade Forms and Belli for a bag and call it a day. Not ideal but I'd at least be ok with that.

[DPG21920]

Warriors traded Russell for negative value. Wonder if they have another trade to get rid of Wiggins given how many roster spots they've seemed to being clearing.

Top 10 pick? Any contract is tradeable now and they will have #1 and likely a top 10 pick too for using their cap space. With an off chance Wiggins is better than he was when surrounded by good team.

But yeah, Wiggins is a gamble but getting basically an unprotected pick from a bad team?

[DC23]

As it presently stands PJ Tucker will guard Anthony Davis and Westbrook will guard McGee.

Too late to do anything about that. Now you make the best of the present situation.

Get the man's salary off the books, and start grooming the young prospects. Hopefully the cap space allows them to facilitate a deal in the offseason and get another pick and/or a player who fits the plan.

I'm sure they must have a plan... right?

[sasaint]

What ! Robbery for Minnesota

Yep. Another FO doing its job. I like Omari Spellman, too. Nice move for Minny.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Just trade Forms and Belli for a bag and call it a day. Not ideal but I'd at least be ok with that.

Just getting them off the team would force Pop to play the better line ups. So it won't happen

The plan is to test if continuity will beat trade aggression ...even in times where the current state of the Spurs sucks, I guess

[mo7888]

Why aren’t the fish biting the bait we’re casting? Right, you can’t use as bait.

You have to cast first....our fishing rod is still in the truck...(actually its probably lodged in Forbes but you get the idea)

their plan is to make djm an all star who can bring spurs to the finals

[exstatic]

FYI, second rounders in 2022 will almost be like first rounders in most drafts. That's the year when they'll let the HS kids back into the draft, and with the previous years one and dones, it will be a DEEP draft. I saw one or two of them in a couple of the trades that went down.

Minny pick is 2021....

[sasaint]

"Over-rated" is not what I would say. "Exposed" seems more appropriate.

[szkorhetz]

Minny trading away all their wings

[DPG21920]

Minny pick is 2021....

I know. Are we really expecting that swapping DLO for Wiggins alone is going to change them all that much? Def could but not some lock in my eyes and no margin for error (injuries)

[TimDunkem]

Minny pick is 2021....

So they have a high draft pick this year and the next? Not bad.

[DPG21920]

To me, still being able to have Curry Klay and Dray while also possessing the #1 pick (most likely) and another lottery pick in the future outweighs taking on a bad deal

[mo7888]

It gives Minnesota (with a new wheeling and dealing gm) a chance to really improve....that said, I really like the trade for both teams.

I don't think Wighins will be a bad deal for them. I expect him to be a much better player playing next to Klay and steph.
