No offense to Lauri but we don't need him lol. We are 14-15 deep and everyone can put up 15+ a game
Spurs won't trade for a king's ransom. Look who they gave up for fox? 😂
Lamelo to mavs rockets clippers or wolves makes sense
These are rediculous commentaries. Who cares whats best for Melo? Also, how are these "ideal" teams going to accommodate the Hornets without absolutely gutting their teams?
The spurs call the mavs, offer 3 first round picks and 2 seconds for Flag…. who says no?
Don't think they'll split up markannen and keyonte, they r foundation status
Is it me or yall try and trade everybody to the clippers PLEASE let it go James leonard Paul and then James Kwai and Beal who else they need
You guys are so unimaginative. All trade scenarios somehow involved the Warriors? Lazy basketball analysis.
Would cost some combination of Vassell, Johnson and Barnes so…never gonna happen.
The white guy talking does he watch basketball we have talented guys get lamelo away from our team
No, we don't want Markkanen, he doesn't play defense. We're trying to build experience with a young core, to break it up will destroy everything they tried building the last two years.
These guys sound like they never played and are fans like us. No GM brain on this video.
edit – I still like the show though. They’re fun to listen too. 😂😂😂
If it's not churros = Markanen, the Spurs front office won't push a trade! 🤣🤣
DALLAS DOESN'T WANT MELO
Would the Spurs be that stupid? Could be since the glory days of Pop and RC Buford are over.
They could do that if they know that Wemby's health cannot be trusted to keep him on the court. This is the second year out of three that Wemby is missing significant time. And if he is ACTUALLY growing, then NBA players who have been THAT TALL have iffy career longevity.
I smell a bit not telling all truth about Lamelo. Oh,hes going down,u see,his mentality isnt for sure to be franchise player and if he will not mash with another team perfectly,hes gone
Lamelo belongs on Minnesota with ant man
If Markkanen comes to the Spurs, they’ll give up Barnes, Sochan and a few picks
why mess with spurs chemistry
I like Markkanen, but tbh, the right move for the Spurs is to just play the season and at least a playoff series before identifying potential trade targets. There's a world where the Spurs don't do anything and end up in conference finals or better next year.
Why would the spurs trade any of their young stars for who Markening?? 😂😂
LiMelo should really go to a team where they're fine with him sitting out half the season with injuries, play no defense and have multiple losing seasons.
Keep saying spurs need length. They keep getting out rebounded. But wouldn't trade a lot for him. Sohan, vessel and a second round pick . Keldon playing too good to trade him
The Spurs are 100% more likely to trade for Trae Murphy or Herb Jones than they are trading for Lauri. I feel like the Spurs are much more in the market for a SF than a PF. They already play Wemby next to Kornet and have all the guard depth. If they were to make a trade it would be trading Vassell for a better 3&D type player. And they aren't giving all the picks for that guy, it has to be a logical cost otherwise why would you give Vassell who you've developed and a lot more
This Spurs are a building team and not a team that trades for an elite, expensive player. They are known for developing players and trading them for big bucks, not the other way around. The Spurs are already in a great spot. Why would they jeopardize what they already have for a pipe dream?
spurs are winning right now ahead of schedule. why would they throw it away? they are literally the thunders before they became the thunders.
Why in the hell would he go to the clippers let's just dumb they're a spiraling team down he'll be in the same situation that he's in That's not a winning culture
5:00 Lauri has been an All-Star and averaging 30PPG….0% chance Ainge does that deal and I’m not even a Jazz fan. Insane idea.
None of these trades will happen
Spurs won't do it without a 3rd team
Everyone one spurs are untouchable, who they trading away?
fox for markkanen
As a Spurs fan, I really don’t like these conversations not because the potential trade isn’t interesting… But because when these “analysts “make a prediction of who the Spurs are going to trade it’s so obvious they do not know the way the Spurs work. They are not gonna give up the house for any player. I don’t care who they are.
Spurs have no reason to make a trade right now. It would just be making a trade for the sake of making a trade.
I don't see Lauri Coming here he's not worth it. The fact you're bringing him up and the fact that they don't have walker Kessler
Michelle I love you but they want to keep you know how Danny Ainge about trades. And we've already And we've already got a core okay we're working together with these people. It's working why mess with it
If Charlotte trades LeMelo their Franchise is OVER
please don’t send lamelo to the clippers. that’s a dead zone.
LaMelo should stay on the hornets
All the big market teams got nothing to trade. Tell all the 35 plus year old to retire. No value in them
God damn Michelle Beadle looks terrible with the Botox and the muppet lip injections. Who in the hell told her this would look good.
I don't think Spurs would need Lauri at all, as he'll be injured in one month, with a high payroll salary, that Spurs need to spare money for Wemby and Castle's contract renewal.
The only guy that might happen might be Giannis as the Bucks is really not a good team right now, and they're out of picks. Giannis wouldn't be happy to see a team without him is 7 losing streak or even more, it shows how not competitive it is, which Spurs is opposite, no Wemby no Castle (and even Harper earlier) is still thriving. And Giannis really love to help Wemby to grow (maybe a kind of European heart). But if Spurs is getting Giannis, they'll have to give up either Fox or Castle as Castle will cost quite a bit, like 35M a year player he keeps improving and without major injuries. But by now, seems like the team is quite happy and enjoying good chemistry. Spurs isn't an organization that loves trading prime stars either, so I have huge doubt if they'd make any moves besides some contract year dudes like Sochan, Olynyk to combo with some picks and side dishes for functional players.
Why do yall want to stack the west send kuminga to DC or Brooklyn he wants to be the go-to scorer let em see what he can do. They can send lamelo to the heat somehow and Lauri to the bulls
We want Murphy not Markkanen.. Spurs can use picks or offload either Barnes or Sochan
LaMelo needs to stay in Charlotte and make it work or else he’s going to be getting vet minimum soon. The issue is not his teammates. It’s him he doesn’t play team basketball. He kind of just goes with the flow. He has plenty of pieces around him. He just needs to start playing like Halliburton.
lamelo is like glass why would the mavs be interested ? they already have AD and kyrie and derek
The Clippers have a worst record than the Hornets and the team is way older, how is that a better situation ??????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
10:42 WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP BEADS Fuxk'em Up
