    Re LMA's salary for next season being fully guaranteed. I have no personal knowledge of it, but it's on both spotrac and bballref.
    Hmm interesting.. I am sure it is because Pop said so, but just kind of odd that there is some confusion about it.

    Some rumors say the Kings are regretting the signing of Harrison Barnes: https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/ki...arnes-contract

    A dream scenario would be the Kings taking on DeRozan's shorter contract plus someone like DeMarre Carroll for Bjelica and Barnes. Kings free up long term payroll for young guys like Bagley and Fox, Spurs get two three point shooters that are 6'8" and 6'10", plus more playing time for Walker, White, and Murray. Barnes' contract goes down each year rather than up ($22mil, 20mil, 18mil). If he's even just a bit better than average, his contract will be completely reasonable.

    I wouldn’t mind that, I think I remember people saying Pop really liked Barnes from coaching the USA team too, would rather trade LA personally but beggars can’t be choosers

    can we give them Mills, Carroll and Belinelli instead?

    This franchise can't catch a break in recent years. Of course the Magic have turned their season around with their best player injured, Fournier having a career season and Fultz showing signs of life.

    This lessens the likelihood of them having interest in DeRozan, since Fournier, as one of their 3 plus 3-point shooters (Ross, Augustin), is a better fit anyway and Fultz is showing that his development might be worth prioritizing, at least over a pseudo star like DeRozan (they can't really play together, so his role likely would have been minimized in such a trade).

    If they're out, it's probably down to either the Pistons expiring's and lottery protected 1st or re-routing that to the Thunder and taking on Paul. I could be wrong, but I believe the Spurs' preference would be more so the latter kind of trade.

    i've been saying okc would be the best trade partner for the spurs... now i'm more and more curious what okc is gonna end up doing this season. they've been better than their record. they're getting more acclimated, are currently the 7th seed, and blew out the 6th seed tonight.

    they can beat denver in the POs with their roster as is. they only lost to houston this season by 4.

    I’m not convinced Orlando is off the table yet. They still need to move Gordon who’s losing time to Isaac and plays the 3 when they play them together which doesn’t work too well. Fournier would be fine playing with DDR as their skill sets could complement other....DDR drive or Iso mode then kicks out to Fournier for 3.

    DDR for Gordon/Ross still makes sense for both teams

    OKC is quietly having a great year. Most everyone thought they’d be trash (including me). They’re very close to sliding into the 6th seed spot in the west. That’s just crazy to me. And Adams isn’t really having a standout year. Amazing

    Ross is under contract for three more years and making more than $11 million each season.

    Hard to see him being someone that the Spurs would want back.

    Not realistic at all but DD/Belli for Gordon/Fournier and LMA/Forbes for Hayward/R.Williams is my favorite way to blow up the Spurs in 2k right now.

    I like that. I don't think that blows it up... I think it improves the team and the win total.

    Sweet talk whilst the playoffs are still within grasp; I'd like to see the question pose up again if the team goes to a record such as 15-30 or the like. Every winning or aspiring to win team is unlikely to blow it up, this isn't really news - though I still hold a shred of hope that this is a PR move making a trade in the 15th unexpected and preventing the devaluation of Spurs assets. One can dream, I guess...

    Not sweet talk. I think a combination of stubbornness about admitting that this team isn't working and the DD trade was bad, a desire to stick to the status quo rather than coach up a whole new roster, and a need to sell tickets is the reason Poop and the FO is not going to make a move.

    I do too. In every simulation they win more games than this POS roster. Fun team to play with too.

    I don't think the Spurs will pull the plug on this roster, but they should still look to package 2 of Mills/Forbes/Beli/Carroll for a starting forward. That would do wonders for this team. You really only want one of Forbes/Mills on the team and Carroll and Belinelli should not be in the rotation going forward, so packaging them for a Marvin Williams or Gallinari would make sense.

    Good trade. Tons of great trades and options out there. Most all of them would make this team better and give this years team a better shot at making the playoffs. DDR and LMA are not taking the spurs to the playoffs this season. Ironically, the excuse most are stating as the reason to keep them is to continue the playoff streak lol

    If SA is set on not blowing it up and worrying about the future I would like a DeRozan for Otto Porter swap. It hedges on keeping the youth and your picks but gives you someone that might fit a little better with this group/LMA.

    I know he’s been bad overall this year and dinged up, still think it’s a worthwhile swing.

    Edit: Nevermind - he’s likely out at least a month with a fracture in his foot. No go then.

    They don't need to move Gordon, he's playing similar minutes to recent seasons and him and Isaac being more suited to being a four isn't reason enough to trade him.

    The Magic would need another wing. Any of Carroll, Belinelli or Forbes works, but Forbes makes the most sense.

    Starters: Gordon, Ross, Aldridge, 1 of White/Murray, then either the other or Gay.

    Bench: Whichever of those 3 doesn't start, Mills, Poeltl, then Belinelli, Walker, Lyles, Carroll, competing for the final 2 rotation spots.

    Atlanta is a disaster right now and seems desperate. Young is not happy and their FO is promising to bring in help for him.

    DDR/LMA/Murray for Hunter/Len/Parsons/Crabbe/Both 1st Rd picks

    Atlanta keeps young core of Collins/Young/Huerter/Reddish but then also adds veterans.

    If they don’t want to give up Hunter, I’d still do the deal with Reddish.

    You probably need to throw Metu or Forbes in for the roster to fit.
