What about Aldridge and the rights to Adam Hanga to Phoenix for Josh Jackson and the Ryan Anderson contract.
Josh Jackson gives us a true 3&D type wing. And he is young. The Suns have Oubre, Warren, and Bridges for that spot. They wanted Aldridge and his outside game fits nice with Ayton.
Anderson makes the money work and could fill an old Matt Bonner type role. Him and Bertans used off the bench.
Patty Mills to the Lakers for Isaac Bongo.
I know patty is a Pop favorite but with Forbes and White he is redundant. His 3 shot would be a warm welcome for James.
Bongs is a pint forward type player. Lots of length and skill. And at 6'9" is a good wing. Her is doing well in the G league. And can develop the third year.
The rights to Nikola Militunov to the Grizzlies for watanabe.i know a lot he are high on him. He can play between Austin and San Antonio this year.
PG- white, Forbes, Nick Johnson
SG- DeRozan, pondexter, White
SF- Jackson, Belinelli, Watanabe
PF- Gay, Anderson/Bertans, Metu
C - Poetel, Gasol, Eubanks

Aldridge is worth more than Josh and he's worth way more than Josh plus 20M of dead weight next year.
I'd do the laker trade, simply to remove mills future salary, but LA won't do that trade for the sane reason.
You can get a guy of watanabe's caliber for no cost in the g league right now.
I'm not trading Aldridge for Jackson. Suns wasted two years of development, and it's not clear that he ever really had a bunch of potential anyway. Adding in Anderson's salary for next year is a non-starter. The Suns, for their part, wouldn't want to do it either.
Lakers certainly aren't trying to get Mills' salary on their books. Loved Bonga during the draft, but he's not going to be a Spur unless the Lakers want to dump him.
Grizz might think that's fine value, but the better option seems to be to just wait until the summer to sign him. As far as I know, the Grizz don't have RoFR over a normal NBA contract, just two-ways. I'm also not the biggest fan of Nikola, but he deserves better than this. Something like Hanga's rights if Memphis has interest in signing him makes more sense. Microtransaction deserves microasset.
Apparently John Wall is out for the rest of the season. Maybe this will force Washington to tank and trade Beal and/or Porter.
I'm glad we didn't listen to ESPN and trade for him
Haha! Never a chance.
Or maybe they will do better without him and hang on to Beal and Porter. Doesn’t matter, though. Even if they moved one or both the Spurs would never get a whiff.
You mean nobody wants gasol or mills our culture and champions!?
They are stuck with Wall regardless. No one is taking on his contract and that trio isn't winning a championship.
Unlike most ST posters, I am willing to trade value to get value. I don't expect to score a Beal or Porter for the likes of Gasol or Mills. But it really doesn't matter what Spurs bodies we are talking about, Pop doesn't do an important deal unless he is forced into it - and certainly not at midseason. This team has shown enough for Pop to feel justified in staying the course. We are stuck.
Wow, there are some profoundly stupid posters on this site.
Yes, you are one of them.
Oh my God you killed me.
About as well as you killed me with your original comment.

Raptors pick, 2020 Spurs pick, Pau Gasol, 50 Mills. I wouldn't add any of Walker/Murray/White though. Maybe Forbes, but why trade Forbes and Mills? They are asking for quite a lot if you consider that you also have to match Beals salary. LA Fakers might be able to get him
did someone mention adam hanga?
Overrated.
Are these new rumors just that or is this something that is realistic? Pipe dream?
How far did you have to dig to find the thread?
Post are from 2 plus years ago.
They are real!... Oh so real...
Zombie thread of the week!!!
The Spurs have the assets, but it'd be weird for them to make the move, given how much they'd have to be leveraged to get it done. I think at this point the Spurs can't trust Aldridge to get back to his old form, so the potential upside of a Murray, Beal, DeRozan, Johnson, Aldridge starting lineup probably doesn't have with it needs to be compe ive with the rest of the West. Swap LMA out for a good PF and get Poeltl playing well, however...
Honestly, still not my favorite idea. I'm not sure if he's a legit star.
I wonder if most Spurs fans realize this team likes to play defense.
