Anyone know the details on the trades? Bertans and carroll ones?

Marcus is better and was good in Boston
What does Brooklyn get in the S&T?
Shot 38% from 3 last season tbh.
Yep. That would have been picture perfect.
Need defenders not another spot up shooter
'bout time we got a Marcus on the Spurs.
now if we can dump beli
Wonder if we got anything useful back from Washington?
Still would like to see a guard or two shipped out.
Great move as Bertans was a shooter who was far too inconsistent to be relied upon and couldnt really do anything else.
But now we have two guys over 6'6" who can D up a bit.
Or is one the limit?
nice move
The trade exception.
Celtics fans loved him and that's rare in racist Boston. Also kept him away from being Bron's scapegoat. Great moves by RC, i take my earlier comments about the mugshot billboard back.
Glad Bertans is gone. Definition of a choker full of himself
It's not a given that the Spurs knew that Morris would sign before getting Carroll. Could be that he just now took the offer.
I would rather have one elite defender and one elite three point shooters instead of one elite defender and one good defender. But it is already made, good move overall.
. Apparently at me and others who thought they'd never sign a Morris brother (though the logic was sound) . . .
Morris/Gay
DeRozan/Carroll
Aldridge/Poeltl
Forbes/Mills
Murray/White
Or
Morris/Gay
Carroll/Forbes
Aldridge/Poeltl
DeRozan/Mills
Murray/White
Obviously 1-3 would cross match defensively.
We essentially got carroll/morris for davis..complete fckn upgrade
The Spurs shoulda just kept Bertans and signed Morris with the MLE?
Would you rather have Carroll or Bertans
Quick thoughts:
-Marcus Morris is a really good fit as starting power forward. Can space the floor, adds toughness, does well against those long wings.
-You can play Carroll and Morris together at the forward spots. Both are flexible and able to play 3 or 4.
-I didn't think the Spurs would actually sign a Morris twin but you can't question the talent. Marcus Morris was very likely the best possible pure fit at the MLE.
-That Morris was even eligible at the MLE is surprising. He basically just fell through the cracks, it seems. I think it was Lowe who was predicting that he could get $80 million or more this offseason.
-Bertans will be missed for his elite stretching of the court but he's being replaced by two players who can shoot threes and do more than just that on the court. With this option on the table, the Spurs would have been dumb to pass it up.
I like.
Murray/White/Mills
Walker/Forbes
Derozan/Beli/Carroll
Morris/Gay
Aldridge/Poeltl
Yeah, I realize that. I wonder if PATFO is now regretting the Carroll signing.
Spurs finally shore up the SF/PF rotation this offseason. We should see a much improved team next year. It was painful watching DeRozan/Beli as our only SF options
