Pro’s & Con’s of B/R proposed blockbuster involving San Antonio Spurs

This blockbuster deal shouldn’t be totally off the table for San Antonio Spurs

Writing about hypothetical trades is a fun thought exercise. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good blockbuster deal as much as the next guy, but some of the ones being tossed around these days are venturing into the absurd. Especially when it comes to ones involving our San Antonio Spurs.

First and foremost, the Spurs have never been a team that’s relied heavily on the trade market to shake things up. They aren’t the Miami Heat or Houston Rockets who have been high rollers in the trade space for the past few years. No, San Antonio has relied on drafting and developing talent to help them improve.

Their historic preference to avoid splashy trades, especially ones that involve trading away young players, make a recently proposed blockbuster deal from the folks over at Bleacher Report all the more shocking.

The proposed trade – sending LaMarcus Aldridge and Keldon Johnson to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Kevin Love.

It’s not the worst deal in the world but it certainly has its flaws. Let’s break down the pros and cons of this hypothetical deal that would cost the Spurs a fan favorite but would bring back an impressive and proven big man in return.
