New Rumor with LMA & DeRozan

[Ignazzz]

Funny. Hawks never do this but spurs fans say no �� haha

[objective]

I could see Atlanta ditching one of their young players for # 11, and working DeRozan into the deal to give the Spurs a giant trade exception as the price to get the deal done instead of signing DeRozan straight up

But I don't think Reddish would be that player. And I don't think for a second that Atlanta would give up # 6, that just doesn't make sense.

However, if Atlanta was willing, I think it would be fine.

The guy I want at 11 the most, Williams, likely won't be there anyway, and Reddish is quite promising with good size.

Still, seems bogus

Call me a homer, but despite what I read by a lot of posters above I see the proposed deal as too much favorable for GS and Atl.
One thing we have to consider is we are in the best position regarding market interests because, on the contrary of GS (that needs pieces to win immediately in a max 2/3 years window) and ATL (who needs reliable veterans to finally taste the play offs again) our only goal is to develop young players...and we still have a ton of them (so we can, with maximum serenity, face next season with all our vets just waiting for their contracts to end and free cap space).
That's the time to exploit the obvious market advantage in terms of others teams needs.

The idea of a K. Love trade for GS is imho just a smoke screen...for the reasons that simply his defense is nowhere near what LMA can offer and plus his contract is terrible while, on the contrary, LMA's one is ending and can be re negotiate at a reasonable price (why should't LMA do it when he goes to a still winning/ le contending environment ?). LMA for them is the best option by far, and I'm sure that this perspective can convince him to renounce to his trade kicker...with him and Green the GS interior defense will be back at a full power at least for next season.
Plus GS needs to limitate the amount of the tax...downloading not only Wiggins contract (that's necessary just for trading purposes) but also the n° 2 pick (because a young rookie player in this moment isn't worth for them the price of 10 millions for the salary plus the tax amount of the repeated offenders).

In conclusion, the only trade with GS I would accept is LMA for Wiggins + n° 2


Going to ATL, DDR is the perfect veteran for them, because he can effectively be not only a starting weapon (becoming practically the only one of their entire roster, axceèt for young, able to attack the ring countless times) but also the second unit play maker, giving to ATL the chance to renounce to Teagues rights (19 millions last year...the most expansive contract of the team) without second thoughts. Considering their needing of veterans (Mills and Gay, for different reasons, are good options in this sense, being both god 3 point shooters) and play offs goals and style of play, plus their cap freedom and the fact that they absolutely need to download one of the 2 bad contracts for 2 centers that are actually included in their roster for the coming years (Dedmon and Capela, while the only center of a good price, alias Fernando, takes a very limited amount ) I can see a trade like the one that follows:

to ATL : DDR, Gay and Mills
to SA : Reddish, Capela (Deadmon) and n° 6

so in the end

to GS : LMA
to ATL: DDR, Gay, Mills
to SA : Wiggins, Capela, Reddish, n° 2 and n° 6

Are warriors seriously even considering this I mean it would be dumb giving up Wiggins for nothing and adding a number two for an aged forward

Wiggins is awful and getting paid $120mil+ over the next few seasons, and the #2 pick this year isn't worth as much as it would be in a normal draft.

keeping #2 doesn’t assist them winning with Stef&Klay and to a lessor degree Dray thb. And that clock is ticking. LMA would be very handy for them and there’s a real possibility that they get nobody better than LMA.

I think warriors also want depth. I wouldn't be surprised if they want white as well.

[Dhbsr555]

No to trading white absolutely not.

[PhantomDashCam]

This would have to considered a win (if goes through), especially compared to that BS Lakers return rumour.
My concern would be the sudden bottle neck at the wing, but it shows the Spurs are committing to an almost ABA style of play.
Would be a fun team to watch.

[BillMc]

No to trading white absolutely not.

They could have Murray though...

[Dhbsr555]

Only way I’d trade white is if we are drafting ball

[Robz4000]

That would be a ing nightmare.

The warriors are giving up 2 rotational players. They need depth and good size. They can't expect Klay will hit the floor running day one for whole season.

[RC_Drunkford]

I don’t buy this rumor simply for the fact that Reddish‘s and DeRozan‘s salaries don’t match. Would have to be a larger deal. Besides that the Hawks have 50 million in cap space, they could just sign DeRozan without giving up anything

atl has 50mil cap space and thats enough to take ddr and sign jeff teague.

[spurspl]

thats a great trade for... GSW.

If they can find a way to make the salaries work, couldn't they potentially have DeRozan AND the cap-space to bring in another star (or some good role players)?

DeRozan alone ain't enough to get that team over the hump.

[Thomas82]

Not really as they are over the cap. It probably would not give them room. Definitely would not be enough room to sign another max FA.

I imagine they would make other moves to see if they could free up the space to make it happen.

[Dejounte]

What about include Draymond in this deal that way Warriors get their cap to get Giannis and the Hawks get another solid player to push them into playoff contention?

Warriors get Aldridge, 6th

Spurs get Wiggins, 2nd, Warriors 2nd round pick

Hawks get DeRozan, Draymond

This one seems more fair, no?

[Dejounte]

DJ/ Campazzo/ Q
White/ Lonnie/ Richardson/ Mason Jones
Keldon/ Wiggins/ Terry Armstrong
Smith/ Lyles/ Samanic
Wiseman/ Eubanks

They would have to get rid of Draymond as their big 3 alone make 100k.

ATL already has 2 bigs so I dont see why they would want Draymond and his contract. I also think GS would feel they are giving up to much as they may still see him as part of their core. Yes they want to save salary but not at the expense of loseing their hopes to win the championship.

[Thomas82]

It would shock me if they actually did that.

[talkspurs]

It would shock me if they actually did that.

I dont think they will either which is why they wont have enough room to sign GA outright. It would have to be a sign and trade.

Current money is on Giannis going to Dallas as I read it. Think Brian Wildhorst has basically said if Gianni leaves Milwaukee his most likely landing spit is the Mavericks.
