San Antonio Spurs

I tried with San Antonio. I really did. Outside of LaMarcus Aldridge, I just do not know who else the Suns would want from the Spurs’ roster that San Antonio would be willing to part with. The Suns could hypothetically trade for Manu Ginobili in mid-December, a $14M expiring contract, but I do not see the Spurs ever dealing him. He will retire a Spur.

The same with Tony Parker. The Suns could absorb his $14.4M contract right way. But not only do I not seeing the Spurs ever trading him, he has an additional year left on his contract, and with Bledsoe still on the roster, I can’t see the Suns wanting Parker at all.

So, Brandon Knight for LaMarcus Aldridge, as humorously unrealistic as that is, is the best I could come up with without getting too complicated.

The only realism that I derive from this possibility is that, as I have discussed before, the Spurs may be willing to trade Aldridge, and the Suns might be a possible suitor. However, since a one-for-one trade is almost undoubtedly out of the question from San Antonio’s perspective, here is an additional, complicated trade, that just Might be plausible.
