Porzingis to the Celtics..? Wtf is Phil Jackson doing

[sasaint]

I mean, they would not be gutted. They will only basically lose Gasol/LMA/Danny but possibly have 3 first round picks to fill out the roster (maybe even a lottery pick or two) and damn near 60M in cap space (with keeping their own free agents cap holds).

That means you would only lose Manu/Lee (who could be resigned for min) and get to keep every other player except for LMA/Danny/Pau (and you could possibly keep him too) and have 45-60M to spend to replace LMA/Danny.

If there is truth to all of the rumors, this would be the boldest offseason ever for PATFO. I feel kind of giddy.

[CGD]

Unfortunately, they should have done it last year.

Completely agree. That said, if you have any hope for trading LMA now is the time, not at the trade deadline when a team with only have a few months to convince him to stay.

Yeah true, I guess I'm not seeing the whole picture since obviously there would be a lot of holes and unknowns. It's exciting for sure, don't get me wrong. This is all speculation anyway.

I'm all in, my friend. The Spurs are usually VERY stealthy, though, so letting these Danny/LMA rumors out is an indication that something is happening right now. I hope we hear something ASAP.

[Nathan89]

I'd be surprised if we got a top 10 pick for LMA.

[Seventyniner]

If it's true, then we're definitely making a run at CP3.

If we start seeing rumors about the Spurs looking to salary-dump Parker then I'll believe this. That would force teams who want Aldridge or Green to pony up some assets because the Spurs ostensibly could move Parker and create enough cap space for Paul that way. Regardless of whether the Spurs have any intention of trading Tony.

[rastaspur]

Agreed. We would have to throw in a sweetener like pick 29. And that still might not get it done.

As a gm, I would rather recieve green, pick 29 and a future second rounder before I would take on aldridge

The way the Spurs have been drafting lately, losing the 29th pick is hardly a loss.

Phil Jackson on MSG Live-"We're getting calls...we've been getting calls and we're listening. We have to do what's good for the club...2 starters and a draft pick"Phil was asked about the exit meeting. Phil was clearly annoyed, said he has never had a player miss an exit meeting in 25-30 years of coaching so he was quite surprised.
said he has had minimal contact with Kristaps, nothing through voice.

2 starters and a draft pick huh...

[tonight...you]

As a gm I would not trade a top 10 pick for aldridge. Hard to give up the hypothetical upside of a young prospect for a beta pussy who crumbles under the slightest pressure situation.

You're hired, you magnificent bas .

I don't think a gm will even bite on the 29th and aldridge. Aldridge has been semi exposed and is on a downward trajectory. His stock took a hit in the playoffthese nba gm's tend to watch nba playoff games too. They aren't blind. They all saw even what the vast majority of fans and spurs fans witnessed.

[manufan10]

LMA?

[Hoops Czar]

LMA?

STAR player!

[cd98]

STAR player!

Its funny because if it's a star, why trade for a pick where the best case scenario for the pick is to be a star with the chance of being a flop.

[Mr. Body]

Aldridge would do well in New York. The East is so terrible.

[rastaspur]

LMA?

Tony parker.

"HEAD OF THE SNAKE"

GOING TO REHAB SUPER HARD AND BE BACK AS GOOD AS NEW

GONNA COMEBACK AFTER ALL STAR BREAK AND BE HUGE.

GOING TO PLAY TO 40.

How could they pass on that offer.

[cd98]

LMA?

Bet that pick goes to knicks for Porzingas.

[manufan10]

STAR player!

They were chasing him just as hard as the Spurs... maybe they're still interested.

[Mr. Body]

Bet that pick goes to knicks for Porzingas.

Knicks would be stupid as to take only a pick for KP. There's no player in this draft I'd take above him.

[cd98]

No, they'd get a pick and a player from the Suns. Suns have some young bigs they could trade.

Phil seems pretty upset about Porzingis missing the exit interview... I don't think he cares what he gets at this point. Just wants him gone.

And the Suns get LMA...
