With George & Kawhi we are in win now mode and any team willing to trade is probably a team that covets youth. So many of the players on this list are 24 or so. Building blocks.

Yeah but we aren’t in as good of a position as most to be excited about trade rumors. What are our assets & for what? In this list of 13 I see 4.5 possible, but less than probable. That’s not a good shooting percentage.

This loss is on Ty.

He left Luke, Powell and Wall out there together. The lineup that imploded the second quarter, he let them give the heat back in the momentum here in the fourth. Unacceptable.

This is awful coaching by Ty.

Ty sticking with this awful defensive lineup

Great third quarter, Norm and Wall come in and the defense goes south.

I’m at the game against the Heat. Watching a team against us that has a real identity on both sides of the ball is jarring. It feels like we have no idea what we are doing and run no plays on offense.

If Kawhi continues to sit randomly and Ty can’t lock down a rotation and identify we will continue to be the very definition of mediocre.

Of the list above, I think the only one who hasn’t been floated in trade rumors is Keldon Johnson.

Khyber I love your eye for the game that’s being played on the court, but your idea of who are attainable players seem to be off the mark. Everyone reaches every once in awhile. For example Lucas smacked my hand a bit for a Kyle Lowry trade idea I had a couple of years ago, but the majority of the names you’re throwing out just aren’t worth considering they are so improbable. Take for example Keldon Johnson. He is definitely not on an expiring and is in fact an obvious solidified piece of the Spurs future. They’ve locked him up for the next 4 years? I would be shocked if the Wolves don’t retain Naz Reid as they can offer him a healthy amount for multiple years..think it’s something like 14 million? Some of these names make sense with our timeline but this list needs an injection of reality serum. Hope this isn’t coming off too harsh because you know I appreciate you and don’t let it stop you from scheming up future trades. Here’s the most useful site to do so.

Tips. If it’s a team that’s faltering, they’ll want to retain youth. Keep in mind that teams have leverage depending on how long the previous contract was.
