This is actually a great trade for the spurs but it won't happen....
The prize there is the Nets pick. Still, in Brown we'd finally have a solid back up at that position and a player that would allow the spurs to play small with both of them on the court if needed.Jaylen Brown plays the same position as Kawhi.

Contingent on Burks getting and staying healthy, trending towards player he was and medical staffs confidence he'll hold up . . .
To Jazz: Bender or Chriss, Spurs '17 1st
To Spurs: Favors, Burks, future Suns protected 1st
To Suns: Aldridge
Jazz get out of a lot of money, making it more palatable to re-sign Hill and retain young core, while also getting potential better offensive fit next to Gobert and another 1st to add to treasure trove.
Spurs get seeming culture fits, younger, yet still proven players and an upgraded pick. Favors would be ideal two way fit next to Gasol, Burks would be solid third wing to replace Ginobili.
Why would Denver do that?
I said it would be a great trade for the spurs..I didnt say Denver and San Antonio.
Good one
I couldn't see the wizards going for it since they'd be giving up Wall in his prime but this trade would be awesome provided Morris wouldn't become a cancer in the locker room. This team needs a penetrating guard to help with floor spacing and no one on the roster seems capable (Parker= age, Murray= skill, Nico= experience). This trade gives Washington shooting(Patty's hitting three's in a contract year, LMA hitting all the midrange jumpers his heart desires) and the spurs an all star in his prime to play along side the klaw. They wouldn't go for it but when you're sitting at 11th in the East you never know...
Favors is just as injury prone as ter & Burks had a terrible ankle injury that may never be 100% ala Deron Williams.
Like the framework, but would rather just drop the Green-Bradley part of the trade and take back the Net's 1st which Boston owns.
Parker and Anderson to the Pistons for T. Harris.
That's an exaggeration with the former and I listed specific contingencies with the latter, but I guess it was too difficult to comprehend for you.Favors is just as injury prone as ter & Burks had a terrible ankle injury that may never be 100% ala Deron Williams.
Any exact trade is minimally unlikely, but if/when, this is the type of one I foresee them honing in on: proven players in that age group, that appear to fit the culture.
Actually I really like Favors and he would be a great fit, IMHO.
I like it, just throw in Anderson as well to Boston though tbh
Yeah, I'm exaggeration:
Is Derrick Favors’ injury history an obstacle towards extending his contract?: http://www.slcdunk.com/nba-free-agen...xtension-worryWhat's next, trade for Bogut/Deron Williams contingent on them "getting and staying healthy".Utah Jazz shooting guard Alec Burks is out indefinitely after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle Tuesday. The procedure, Burks' third since fracturing his leg during a hard fall during a game last December, removed an extra area of bone between Burks' tibia and fibula.
"That fall was major trauma," Lindsey said. "… So there has certainly been some residual issues over the past 10 months.
Favors is nowhere near as injury prone as Splitter . . .Yeah, I'm exaggeration:
What's next, trade for Bogut/Deron Williams contingent on them "getting and staying healthy".
Favors has played 60 or more games 6 times and 73 or more games 4 times.
Splitter has played exactly 60 games 1 time and more than 60 games 1 other time.
But keep talking out of your ass.
Just b/c Favors played it doesn't mean he was healthy, dude was dragging himself like ter did in the 2015 postseason. ter also only played 59 in '11-'12 b/c it was a lockout shortened season.
If Pop was babysitting Favors then he probably wouldn't have played more than 60 the past 3 seasons.
Waive Forbes, offer Motiejunas the min ( if he can pass a medical at all ).
Didn't the Nets try signing him for $37 million, but Houston still wouldn't let him go as they said they wanted to retain him. How would the Spurs get him for the minimum if the Nets couldn't get him for $37 million?
My post wasn't entirely serious, however, the Rockets Motiejunas saga finally ended with him being released and becoming an unrestricted free agent, though unable to be signed by the Nets. Supposedly the Rockets had him for a physical and after that they decided to renounce him. It's weird because he was about to sign a very team friendly contract, so he might be completely broken, who knows.
Thanks for the explanation. I thought the Rockets didn't want to let him go and I also thought that he didn't want to play for Houston even if they did match. I thought they left him in a state of flux. Didn't realize that he went in for a physical and that he was willing to play for Houston. I assume that means he's in bad shape physically with his back. Was it his back that was/is the issue?
Rockets completely screwed him over. He had a deal with the Nets that they interfered with to then renounce him.
Raptors have the Room Exception & they are in bad need of a 4 so he might be an option even if he's an injury risk.
