Game 2: San Antonio Spurs (1-0) @ Phoenix Suns (1-0)

[JDLAW]

Awesome win.

Len looked like a legit force down-low and his stats don't reflect all the hustle and serious altering of shots he had out there. I like Plumlee but that role off the bench is his in a month or so if Len keeps this up. Len needs to keep hitting that weight room and he'll start bumping players off him. Only one game but lots to like - that sweet wrap-around pass was gold!!

Thomas has clearly taken over Green's spot as our assassin, which can only really mean one thing for Green as an impending FA...which is a shame, I loved him last year and still would like him here over PJ.

So I guess now we can look for potential landing spots for Green that net us either better talent or youth?

OKC could really use him with those injuries, but outside of Adams they don't overly have much we want do they?

I'd LOVE Jimmy Butler on this team, but have to assume he's not available without dangling the LAL pick, which is a no...

I think you're making huge leap on Green. Do not think the Suns are down on him at all. Do not know why the interest in Butler. He'll be an RFA at the end of the year and he is only 3 years younger than Green. He is also not as athletic or as explosive a scorer. Also do not know why you'd consider sending him to a conf rival like OKC.

While Green is the ideal trade candidate we shouldn't move him unless we can find somebody SIGNIFICANTLY better than Markieff, Plumlee, or Len. A lateral move does nothing for this team but hurt chemistry. Green has said all the right things about winning over playing time. So long as players in locker room are happy it is going to have to be a trade for an all-star PF or C before we move Green.

[Blackification]

I dont think we should trade green. Let him play out the year because we are not getting even close full value from him in a trade that wont improve us in a position of need. If we make any trades its a blockbuster with mutiple pieces going out for a star that can put us over the top.

Dragic hasnt looked great either. Lets give it some time

Butler is a top 5 defender in the NBA and he has an offensive game as well.

And Butler may be a RFA but we'll have his bird rights by trading for him. Oh and Green is an UFA after this season.

If the Bulls don't wanna pay him big bucks and want a cheap alternate, Tucker could be an option for them. Tucker's lot older but Bulls are looking to contend right now anyways. Tucker, Green and Ennis? Especially with Rose injury problems, I think they'd love to have Ennis.

And as for sending him to a conf rival, we aren't competing with the Thunder for a title right now.

Butler is a great player that would not be happy with the role he'd have to play here. He's ready to start somewhere out be a big minute 6th man of the year candidate. I would love to have him on my team though.

Butler would start here at SF if we traded Tucker for him.

Does anyone know what the big Spurs fan forum is? It's obvious RealGM isn't their main fan rant hub. The Spurs RGM board activity is pretty weak.

Spurs talk. Here's a couple of links to them;

This Spurs GD thread is hilarious, go through a couple of these pages, and read the comments on IT on this page, the ones on top

That SpursTalk bunch might be the worst group of fans I've ever seen, and that's saying something. Jesus...so much vitriol. Are they all 12?

I read a bit. They are the whiniest bunch of c.u.n.t.s. I've ever seen & that's saying a lot.

That they are! The also dont seem to like our broadcasting team very much.

They were downright dogging on EJ, which i think he does a pretty solid job of not infusing the broadcst with much homerism. I have seen some teams like Boston/Lakers with absolute horrid homeriffic broadcasts, we dont even come close!
