Cavs - Blazers trade

Cavs get: Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons

Blazers get: Donovan Mitchell

Why?

Cavs move on from Mitchell for get great return and get younger.

Blazers keep Lillard happy by adding another all-star.

Blazers - Spurs Trade (after Sept. 12)

Blazers get: Reggie Bullock, Zach Collins.

Spurs get: Jusef Nurkic, 2029 unprotected 1st from Blazers.

Why?

Blazers get upgrade at Center, and a sold 3 and D and add a player to their roster.

Spurs get a future 1st and trim roster.

I really like Scoot. That said, the Cavs can't wait for him to develop. They're in win-now mode.

Why do the Cavs want to move on from Mitchell? Whatever those reasons are, they play into Portland not wanting him. Dame will be happy if he wins, staying in Portland or not. Staying in Portland, they will not win adding another 6'2" and under guard who can score. Dame needs to play with pick'n'roll players, defenders, and front-court power to win. And, Mitchell is not worth Scoot and Anfernee as Portland will be rebuilding without Dame.

Finally, Bullock with have little value to Portland and Collins spent 3 1/ 2 seasons riding the gourney/ pine for the Blazers. He showed glimpses this past season, again a partial season, but it is not an upgrade, or dependable, or is worth a 1st round pick.

Hornets get: Reggie Bullock, Cameron Payne.

Sochan going to the bench?


2.) 06 Aug 2023 13:27:55
Washington coming off the bench. Sochan might also come off the bench because of Wemby as a starter, but that is yet to be determined. Spurs have six starters, someone has to come off the bench (likely Sochan, Johnson, or Jones) .

six starters lol what does that even mean?

Pistons - Spurs trade

Pistons get: Reggie Bullock

Spurs get: Marvin Bagley III, future 2nd from Pistons.

Warlock

giving away Bagley is not the answer. if he can stay healthy he has value to the team and already has chemistry with Cade.

Knicks - Spurs trade in September

Knicks get: Doug McDermott, Cameron Payne, 2024 2nd via Lakers from Spurs


Spurs get: Evan Fornier, 2024 1st (top 18 protected) via Pistons from Knicks.

Warlock

1.) 25 Jul 2023 15:04:15
This makes no sense from the Knicks since the last year of Fournier is a club option fully non-guarenteed. Seems like the waste of draft capital.


2.) 25 Jul 2023 19:25:38
Normally I would agree that the Knicks should just keep Fornier or try to trade him without draft capital. But, Tibs has decided that he won't play for some reason. Knicks are a playoff team and they certainly would rather have someone at that salary slot who can help them instead of Fornier riding the bench. McDermott is a better shooter. If they would play McDermott, it might be worth some draft capital to swap players. Spurs would only do this if they get back draft capital (they might accept a 2nd) . Otherwise, they look for another team to take McDermott or keep him.

Payne is a throw in, the deal works without him. The Knicks might want him. If not, drop him from the deal. Spurs can always use him (please no), trade him to another team, or waive him.

CHA - SAS

Charlotte gets: Rudy Gay, Lonnie Walker, 2020 1st (#11)

San Antonio gets: 2020 1st (#3)

Keldon Johnson and another first instead of Gay makes it closer.

I don't see the Clippers giving up Paul George to get Hardin.

Hield is the best player in the deal. He is an elite 3 point shooter. He would fill a big need for Orlando. He is also on expiring deal. Magic can r-sign him or use his cap space somewhere else. Also, the 1st pick being given up by Magic is lottery protected, so not near as valuable as an unprotected pick. Harris is a starter, but he is taking minutes from young guys with better upside (Black, Suggs), so he is a short term loss for a long term win. Okeke is way down on the depth chart for the Magic, no great loss.

I think this is a good deal for Orlando and Indy.

Hero would have to play PG for Spurs otherwise they don't need him. Personally, I think he would be a solution for their PG problem and would elevate their offense. Not sure if Popovich agrees though. As a Spurs fan, I like the deal.

I would rather have the Phoenix combo only because Warren is signed to a long term deal at a reasonable amount. Chandler is used up and not worth much. If you could be assured of Vucevic re-signing, the Orlando pair is better.

I believe that Patty Mills is also a top line backup who is experienced and has started before. Spurs have a couple of young guards who could replace Mills without much loss so they might be willing to deal him.

Any of the backup PGs you mentioned should be considered short term help until an upgrade can be acquired or developed.
