Zero chance Memphis is going to dump Aldama for Barnes
Would still rather cut Chicago out and work a trade around Olynyk/Sochan/2nds for Aldama tbh.Barnes was going for Aldama...Huerter was for Sochan and filler. I also think we should send Waters + 2 2nds to nola for Alvarado.
Aldama, Huerter, and Alvarado would cover alot of holes in different lineups. We can add more shooting or perimeter D as needed and Aldama addresses weakside D and rebounding.
The reason I didn't do that is Memphis doesn't want anyone salary next year for the JJJ extension and they wouldn't want to take on two roster spots.Would

You negotiate a deal where he declines his option and we give him a longer deal for less money per or something similar. Ways around that one.His contract expire in 2028. He has a $15.6M player option for 27/28.
I could get behind that. Huerter has been uneven the last two years, but if he sucks, let him roll off. If he shines, sign him to a 2-3 year value deal.Chicago- Olynyk + Sochan
Memphis- Barnes + 2 2nds
Spurs- Aldama + Huerter
I disagree. The LAC got Jollins for a SRP this past summer. I mean, if he wasn’t such a defensive minus, I’d go for KLove as a shooter/rebounder.The issue is that everyone who can do all those things costs a lot. Both in assets and cap space.

Well, if you shut your eyes, cover your ears and go LALALAL, there aren’t.That was last summer.
Right now there aren't many realistic tragets for us.
Mitch is too far down the tottem pole tbh.Mitch should be agressively searching for ways to turn our mid 30's % 3pt shooters into high 30's/40's % 3 pt shooters. Our lack of reliable 3pt shooting is our biggest weakness right now.
I meant Brian. I corrected it.Mitch is too far down the tottem pole tbh.
Not the worst idea actually
That trade makes no sense. We also need help in the front court so we're going to trade our only other front court players for another guard? I feel like Boston could get a better return for Simons than Sochan and Olynyk
The Spurs need shooting as much as they need front court help. If it happens to come from a guard so be it. Also, if Dylan were a more consistent shooter he’d definitely be averaging more playing time, but that will come with experience.There are no minutes for an additional guard.
you won't get Aldama for second rounders. There are already reports out there that multiple teams called Memphis, they would at least want a first round pick. I'd offer ATL 27, but the Spurs won't do that right nowBarnes was going for Aldama...Huerter was for Sochan and filler. I also think we should send Waters + 2 2nds to nola for Alvarado.

Why do people persist in this false narrative that Sochan is a low IQ player? He's not. He just doesn't have the skillset that works on the team anymore.Mazulla and Sochan are never going to happen. Joe needs high IQ players in his system. That's one reason why Simons is not a good fit there. Detroit could use Simons though. Aldama/Bey/Jalen Smith are still the players I'm looking to add.
Your point is fair but there isn’t anyone I would take minutes from to give to him outside Harper and I don’t think that would go well benching him.The Spurs need shooting as much as they need front court help. If it happens to come from a guard so be it. Also, if Dylan were a more consistent shooter he’d definitely be averaging more playing time, but that will come with experience.
And to be clear, I’m not advocating for this deal just saying it’s not categorically crazy.
OK, fair enough. I get where you're coming from, but I don't think Dylan should lose more minutes.The Spurs need shooting as much as they need front court help. If it happens to come from a guard so be it. Also, if Dylan were a more consistent shooter he’d definitely be averaging more playing time, but that will come with experience.

I would love to see those two grapple though. Would be fun.Mazulla and Sochan are never going to happen. Joe needs high IQ players in his system. That's one reason why Simons is not a good fit there. Detroit could use Simons though. Aldama/Bey/Jalen Smith are still the players I'm looking to add.
