The Spurs don't have filler for a trade this small, and Nunn just makes that issue worse while not being worth a first to SA in the first place.
Since we're not going anywhere this season i would trade someone to the Nets for Spencer Dinwiddie. Give our boy Sean some ammunition to beat the effing Lakers since they are the only team that could challenge them imo.
They actually like Trey, so probably not
First, not done. KBD doesn't count as a contract on the books. You'd have to replace him with Jones, and at that point the Spurs probably aren't trying to dump guys they liked enough to sign to three-year deals just to make a convoluted trade work.
Also, this doesn't do anything for the fact that the Spurs probably don't want to sub out a first for Nunn.
Leonard, Robinson, Iggy, and Olynyk for Aldridge, Gay and KBJ works or sub out Robinson for Achiuwa and that 2027 Miami 2nd.
Olynyk, Achiuwa - Gay
Well as discussed, that doesn't work, and I wouldn't do that anyway. One of LMA or Gay would be potentially worth moving to get Robinson's RFA rights. Not both, though. The Spurs want to try to win this year.
Works, but I can't imagine Miami would do this without SA sending back some legit asset Miami could use in another trade.
KBD can't be traded unless he's signed to a contract. When he's signed the Spurs would have 15 players on the roster so still can't do this trade unless they waive someone. Moreover, this would put them above the luxury tax, which we all know is a huge no no.
They shouldn't waive Lyles in order to get a first rounder?? GTFO!!
If they determined the asset from Miami (in this highly unlikely scenario that was posited) they should...
But that’s adding salary the Spurs don’t want for hardly any upgrade if any. Spurs are in salary shedding mode. Only take on multi year contracts if we get a draft pick. I do think the Spurs could get a GSW pick to shed salary in the offseason. They will need to cut salary to keep their talent.
Dunks, act like somebody.
Or, at least act like you read the thread. We’re not getting a first rounder fromMiami. They’re committed for the next five years, either traded, or not able to be traded.
Win what?
And in any case, if they want to win, they might be better off moving Aldridge anyways, tbh.
This thread is painful. Only thing worse than BR speculation is a casual fan’s response to that hearsay.
The East is so horrific (parity to be nice), small moves by teams could make a big difference. So the Spurs could really win big with teams thinking a move could put them in running to win the East. I like Derozan for Collins + salary because both teams fill a major need, get better this season and both players are on expiring deals.
Murray-White-Keldon-Collins-Poetl is a lot more balanced of a lineup and will force Pop to put more of a load on the Murray/White back court. That being said, I fully expect the Spurs to stand pat or get fleeced lol

The whole point of Atlanta possibly losing Collins is that they won't be able to afford improving their roster. Giving him up for DeMar lowers their ceiling even more AND handicaps them from improving. Makes no sense from Atlanta's side.
Watched them some and think Demar would help them this season. Guess I'm grasping for straws though.
From the Hawks insider guy who I still don't know if he's reliable or not:
"Not be an idiot, but with the playoff race being so close in both conferences and the 9/10 playin game, couldn't this trade just end up being a mid 1st anyway.
I spoke to my guy about it and he said teams don't get the idea that Atlanta is just willing to give him away or trade him for anything less than big.
One of the teams interested in JC is Cleveland. Another team is our division rivals, Washington Wizards who still want to retain Beal. I just don't know, none of these teams are out as far as the playoffs are concerned.
He was told injuries did have a role in where Atlanta maybe going and they are still not convinced they have the right core that will win a le. It seems like we are willing to have one more year in the lottery due to injuries. Also, Rondo is being shopped as is Tony Snell.
I was told Atlanta is unwilling to move the other young players like Okongwu, Reddish, Huerter, Trae, Hunter and yes, Fernando. They aren't going to sale players short basically. "

Rudy Gay smoke might be fire:
https://news4sanantonio.com/amp/spor...mpression=true
doubt it. Gay is valuable of we make the playoffs and won’t fetch more than a second rounder or average player on longer term deal which would be silly for the Spurs. Pat Riley will eat our GMs lunch also so hopefully we don’t move Rudy unless packaged for a 1st.
It's hard for me to see them giving up anything that would be worth it for us. Herro, Precious, or Robinson would be the only things they have we'd be interested in and I can't see them really giving any of those up.
I don't see any way Rudy is traded.
