I'm good with it.... I'll call it the RW trade....with Barnes thrown in to make the contracts work...lol... in all seriousness, I do think the Kings would do this..

The prospect of getting Barnes is exciting. He's really easy to root for as far as personality-wise.
Also, after watching Woodard in all of the Austin games, I feel like he has more potential than Lonnie. Dude plays like a man among boys.
Replace Walker with White.
There are other suitors to Barnes, such as Boston, who will drive the price up.
I don't buy Sacramento accepting LMA for Barnes, essentially. Walker is okay, but doesn't do anything for their problems.
I don't think the Spurs will trade LMA to a horrible team. That's bad optics and bad optics for a small market is bad business, even if there's some set-up to buy him out.
I have mulled about the same idea too. I would have been even more happier if the Spurs gave up Walker and a 1st round pick for someone who is even more proven like Nikola Vucevic but the Magic has no incentive to trade him away when they have expirings like Fournier. The Kings are a better trade target but their owner always mucks things up. They might end up valuing Barnes much more higher than a potential 1st round pick.
White is a far better defender, and doesn’t curl into a ball and disappear for games on end. I’ve always maintained that the most expendable of our 6 first rounders is Lonnie.
I don’t like this at all.
Losing first round pick in the upcoming draft is a disaster. If Spurs want to contend, they need star talent in PG to bring out the potential of other players. To make this trade work, Devin or Derrick could replace Walker to improve the offer to Kings rather than the first round pick. Nevertheless, I am not sure Barnes is really so valuable
Also, good luck breaking up this broship:
When I saw this involved Walker I was reluctant, but after reading this you have me convinced it could work. Especially if LMA could make a million and then be bought to go where he wanted. Harrison Barnes sounds like a good fit.
Not terrible tbh.
IF this were to happen, Barnes would fit SA very well as a player and as a force in the Spurs culture and community.
It is certainly plausible. We’ll see if they can pull off a rare trade.
Just getting LMA out of the picture has been so positive already.
What about DDR? Any theories, timvp?
white has some good qualities -
unfortunately - he is a crystal glass china doll!
Wow. I really like Lonnie. But I think the Spurs would have to take this trade as outlined by Timvp. Would be great to have a little more size, but Woodard plays big. I think Spurs should do this.
I'd take this deal in a heartbeat tbh. Walker is the most naturally talented player but he lacks the fire that Keldon or DJ have. Trade him while his value is high and he has potential/upside.
Spurs would be looking at a pretty solid team next year especially if they kept Bjelica. If one of the young guys takes a big step, we have a real team
Has not Murray missed more games to injury than Whote?
The other hitch here is that the Kings don't have depth outside of Bagley for Barnes' position. Wouldn't they count on Woodard as the replacement if Barnes were to leave?
I don't like that trade. I still think Lonnie can be much greater than Barnes and maybe even better than DeMar
Giving up Walker AND a 1st round pick? Yeeeeeeeah, that would be a no. I much prefer buying out Aldridge, tbh.
Apparently, the Kings GM might be competent. Might be a stat geek in the same vein as Morey:

He began his career in Houston as a Basketball Operations Senior Analyst in 2007, was promoted to Director of Basketball Operations in 2013 and became Vice President of Basketball Operations in 2016.

The draft is a crapshoot past the 15th.
