Point Guard idea....

[ViewsFromTheSquawk]

Alright alright alright. My tears have been cried and now we look forward to the offseason. With that in mind I have an idea for our highly debated PG debacle.... 

 

Rumor is the San Antonio Spurs and their little youth movement  isn't as great as they'd hoped.  Granted the best record in Spurs history is quite impressive , they ran outta gas coming down the stretch in the postseason. And it really showed vs OKC. So with that the rumor is they're going to be targeting Mike Conley this summer. So that leaves either Tony Parker and Patty Mills (more than likely Mills) up for grabs. With this in mind would y'all send a 2nd to the Spurs for Patty that way we can feel more safe with trading Teague?

Why would the Spurs do Mills for a 2nd rounder?

[NBASupes]

Better thread than I assumed 

[skimaskway23]

Patty mills is solid.

 

Random I know, but how would people feel about Shabazz muhammad?

He'd be a nice addition to the bench, but I wouldn't trade any first rounders to get him.

I'm thinking that minny would rather not sign Rubio long term. Perhaps a package involving one of our pgs could lure some of that young talent. Obviously not Wiggins or towns...but maybe Lavine dieng or shabazz

Mills isn't really a 1 tho imho.

Who said he starts? I was thinking we send the Spurs a 2nd for them to clear some space to sign Mike Conley this offseason and then we could send Teague to Milwaukee,NYK,or Minnesota for Parker,Affalo,or a package of Shabazz+Dieng. Then our lineup would be...

 

PG-Schröder,Mills

SG-Korver,Hardaway,Patterson

SF-Sefolosha,Shabazz

PF-Millsap,Scott,Muscala

C-Horford,Dieng,Humphries

So they can sign Conley. To clear cap.

Yeah View, Dieng really does like to rebound. A very sore spot for us. Anything to get us more shots and reduce the other team's opportunities.

Just tried it on the ESPN trade machine... They'd need to somehow get rid of either KG (retirement?),Pekovic,or Rubio in order for it to work.

It's been mentioned in the past that KG's future is most likely in their FO. Sooner would be better than later since he really isn't averaging many minutes these days.  An opportunity for us?

Well, first of all, I'm not interested in helping them facilitate anything.  Turned out swimmingly for us last time, no?

When I say he's not a "1", I mean he's not a point guard.  He's a guy brought in to chuck up shots (to the extent that he can 'chuck' in SA).  Manu's their backup 1 IIUC.  Mills backing up whoever's left (Teague or DMike) would be disastrous at worst, counterproductive at best.

I mean if we wanted we could try and get Rubio from Minnesota along with either Dieng or Shabazz. But that'd be like taking on another Splitter because he is owed 12.5mil next season. Thus making it harder for us to make moves even if we traded Teague and Splitter assuming we resign Al. I'd much rather deal with Mills and his contract even if you believe he's a Chucker.

A deal that I did try that works out swimmingly is...

 

Bucks gets Teague

Spurs get cap space

Hawks get Parker and Mills

[AHF]

@Sothron will tell you Minny wouldn't do this trade.

Mills doesn't help us in any capacity.  Nor does Tony Parker at this point in his career.  I'd recommend trading with anyone but SA.  The piece(s) they have that we want/need (which rhymes with Kawhi Leonard) isn't available.

@skimaskway23  Except Rubio is signed thru 2018/2019.

If you get Mills, you also have to draft and PLAY Denzel Valentine. As he really IS NOT a point guard. You will need someone that has the ability to play a point guard role on the court with him.

Exactly. They aren't trading Bazz and Dieng. I almost wish they would trade Bazz because he's been seriously underplayed his entire career so far but I think Thibs is going to get him more minutes.

The TWolves are ready to take a major turn up as soon as next season with their young players and the high lottery pick they will have this year.
