Trade Spurs Trade Ideas

Mo is also saying that he'd send Castle instead of picks. So it would be Castle + whatever matching salary is required to make the deal work. So essentially it just becomes a straight up trade of Castle for TMIII.
OK, got it. Thanks.

When watching the first half of last night's game, I would have possibly considered it, but after seeing his defense in the second half, I would not do it. That defense won me over, and I love defense.

Castle is the better on ball defender, but you can make the case that TMIII is better in space and as a help defender.

TMIII is easily the better offensive player

Moving Castle let's Fox play is intended position offensively

Those are the main reasons I'd do this...
 
I'm not giving up Vassell + picks for TM3. I'd give up salary ballast + picks... I might even give up (hot take) Castle + salary ballast, but I'm not giving a real(active) player + picks. I'm not including Barnes as an real/active player in this scenario.

Rather roll the dice on future picks to get a tm3 type and keep castle, but i wouldn't hate this if we keep all our picks. Would hate to see castle go, but stock is pretty high right now.
 
He'll get traded to team that needs him more than the Spurs. Whoever that team is can have him.
I want to upgrade HB, Hunter is that, for cheap. Wiggins would be better. OG is a pipe dream. What’re your ideas, or do you want to keep seeing HB struggle in the SL

Bobby Portis, Dean Wade, Saddiq Bey, Herb Jones among many others would work.
 
If they trade Castle for Murphy, I could see them wanting a defensive guard to replace Steph
 
I'd really love for Houston to panic and make a big trade to where the Spurs can slide in and snag Jabari Smith. I think he'd thrive between Wemby and the guards.
 
I understand the contract of Vassell will be a problem at some point. If we discuss trading for a quality (starting) role player, he will get (or demand) money in the region of the Vassell contract. While Vassell might be seen as a quality role player by some, I wouldn't rank him there. So, if Spurs want to improve his spot, he will be the contract to move and therefore get a player with a similar contract (or less expensive), who ist either better, or a better fit.

So, I would be all in for a TM3 trade, but we might ask what other player could be had for that 25-30M per salary. Would Wiggins sign an extension for that money, assuming he will opt out this summer. Like, say, 3 years /80 M? Would the Heat trade him for Vassell, if they think they will lose him after this season?
 
People are over-fixated on defense. The Spurs have the best DRTG in the NBA when Wemby is on the floor. Better than the next best team (OKC) by three points. Wemby is playing 36MPG in the playoffs (if healthy God willing) so defense wont do this team in come playoff time but outside shooting absolutely could.

This is why someone like Bobby Portis would be a good target. He's a bigger, better rebounding Barnes and would push HB to the bench. Plus he shouldn't cost much, has tons of playoff experience with 1.5 years of control.
Portis, Hachimura and Bey should be the top 3 targets. Don't need a first round pick for none of them. Just send them a package with some second rounders. After those guys I'd say Jalen Smith wouldn't be a bad fit either as well as Dean Wade.
