[JuneJive]

Huh?

[Chinook]

Shams has been missing today, so we'll see. Maybe playing with DJM again can get him to move closer to his ceiling

[Robz4000]

They'll prolly buy him out too.

[BackHome]

Damn BatManu with the goods :flag:

[timvp]

Which Shams?

[MoSpur02]

I’m assuming it’s for Lyles

[Darius Bieber]

He’s the most un-Spur like player they could have traded for lol

[MoSpur02]

For Cady Lalanne

[BatManu20]

Which Shams?

Woj*

[rjv]

from one end of the bench to another

[slick'81]

Dude had some promise years ago. Dont know whats happend since

[Dejounte]

Game changer :lmao

[Darius Bieber]

Also isn’t he injured and out indefinitely? Lol

[gospursgojas]

Showed flashes in Phx. Project to keep Pop’s Alzheimer’s away.

[DesignatedT]

Cady Lalanne lol haven’t heard that name in awhile..

[JuneJive]

GSW saving money.

[SpurPadre]

Dude had some promise years ago. Dont know whats happend since

It's because his now former teammates have turned the league into a 3 point shooting chuckfest.

[RC_Drunkford]

They didn't trade him for Lyles, we got him for free

[timvp]

Marquese Chriss out for the season with a broken leg. Basically, Spurs got paid to release him. Warriors save luxury tax money.

Holts get richer. Yay.

[MoSpur02]

Yeah I was assuming it was for Lyles then it was tweeted out that it was for Lalanne.

[TimDunkem]

I totally forgot he has a broken leg. :lol

[Chinook]

Honestly, I would've preferred the team not do this, but it's not my money.

Nice to see the Spurs be sellers, but it's not nice for them to not get a basketball asset for being sellers.

[murpjf88]

A 29% three point shooter and a 67% free throw shooter. He should fit right in.

[SpurPadre]

Marquese Chriss out for the season with a broken leg. Basically, Spurs got paid to release him. Warriors save luxury tax money.

Holts get richer. Yay.

I thought there were rules against trading for injured players.

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[YoungbuckMurray]

Is this guy even healthy?

[RC_Drunkford]

:lmao :lmao :lmao we traded for a player on an expiring who's out for the season. Playoffs here we come :lmao :lmao :lmao

[exstatic]

Some things are worse than doing nothing.

Be careful what you wish for.

[Mugen]

:rofl

[cjw]

We need to see how much cash they saved on moving out Lyles + the Aldridge buyout, compared with what they took on for Chriss. That will dictate if they can go sign someone they actually need.

Look at the bright side - more playing time for Luka, if nothing else.

[SpurPadre]

It's basically Pop just doing Kerr a solid.

[r0drig0lac]

watch the Pop boys who spent their lives attacking this guy, say it was a great acquisition of patfo.

[slick'81]

:rollin:lmao

[Light]

Looks like they got paid to do GSW a favor.

[BackHome]

BIO:
Ht: 6’9. Wingspan: 7.1
Age: 23
Draft: Selected first round 8th by Kings
Injury- Out for season - Suffered a right syndesmosis ankle injury with a right fibular fracture

[8sy21vd]

Not so fast. Let's see what Chris can do with a broken leg before putting Eubanks back in the rotation.

Lyles is still on the team, they didn't move him :lol

[LeBowen]

We're in the playoff hunt but we help our direct competitor shed luxury tax. :lmao

PATFO getting bent over, what a surprise.

[ViceCity86]

Traded Pops Mensah-Bonsu to Warriors

Did we move out Lyles? If not we can waive him bit it won't save us money. He's not the kind of player that can afford to give us a discount.

[cd98]

Nice to see us helping GSW out. When are they going to return the favor?

[Chinook]

So like this is the nadir for the franchise from an PatFO perspective. Making a deal that does nothing but saves the owners money feels about as bad as it could get. Makes you wonder how cash-poor the Holts are now and if the team is going to basically be the new Suns.

[gospursgojas]

At least the spurs finally have a guy that has his own fight compilation on YouTube .

[B1gduff]

This is probably a move for next year as he is out for this season. But still not a bad get, he's only 23, and was finally starting to turn a corner last year with the Warriors. He'll never be all-start but has the potential to be a solid bench player.

This. New ownership is needed to fix what's looking to become (if not already) systemic problems in approach.

Any relation to Jack?

[SpurPadre]

Not a great look, to be sure.

As I asked you before, aren't there rules against getting injured players?

[Strategic]

Will he be able to sign with whom ever he wants at the end of the season?

[Chinook]

As I asked you before, aren't there rules against getting injured players?

There aren't, at least not anything that would affect a deal like this.

[LurkingSpursFan]

Traded for rights to Lady Calanne

The Spurs have cap space, and Chriss doesn’t come with bird rights. If they cared about next season, they could just sign him outright then. This was purely cash grab by Holts.

how much cash are these types of deals for? you send the spurs money so you can save money on the tax?

[Chinook]

This. New ownership is needed to fix what's looking to become (if not already) systemic problems in approach.

Yeah, basically if the Holts can't afford to have a team anymore, they need to give it up. There's no way a modern club can't at least budget to the tax. I get this was a bad year and that next year won't be much better. But it's going to just become easier and easier to cheap out. It doesn't help that they're already selling off pieces to the team. Makes me think they're eventually going to be taken fast by someone who could move the team, and all of that trolling will end up becoming true.

Every article I've read seems to indicate the rich have gotten richer during the pandemic. Holtcat was already the 5th most wealthy family owned business in the Dallas/FtWorth metroplex back in 2016.

[Chinook]

how much cash are these types of deals for? you send the spurs money so you can save money on the tax?

My guess is probably Chriss' remain money plus a couple hundred thousand bucks. Maybe SA drove a hard bargain and get a million or so.

The billionaires on the whole, and those who own businesses in logistics and fast food and the like got richer. Those like Tillman whose money is in hospitality lost their shirts. You're right that construction probably didn't take that big of a hit. But I'm not sure if the pandemic helped it on the whole.

Is it tho? Lyles is still here and LMA has been gone forever. Even Lyles hasn’t been getting mine. Trading Rudy would have gotten luka mins

So classy of us to help the team that intentionally injured Kawhi in the playoffs in 2017, which eventually led to the falling out between Nephew and the Spurs.

[MultiTroll]

Nice to see us helping GSW out. When are they going to return the favor?
Sipping wine and speaking woke politics.

[timvp]

how much cash are these types of deals for? you send the spurs money so you can save money on the tax?

To use round numbers for example purposes, the Warriors would owe $3 million in taxes if they kept Criss so instead they traded him to the Spurs along with $1 million. The Spurs use that $1 million to buyout the $900,000 Criss has left. Holts profit $100,000.

:lol I sure wasn't trolling with my comments. I don't think the Spurs will be in SA by the end of the decade.

Multiple posters have said a move to Austin makes too much sense. Tech, PE, Elon, etc... make it a rich city. They could keep the brand and move the team to South Austin/Kyle/Buda (I don't think the distance from SA would be materially different than Auburn Hills-Detroit). But with several data points over the past few years, we're seeing a negative trend.

[Chinook]

Eh, helping GS wasn't the bad look. Helping them for something that can't be used for basketball at all, which is seriously just something to go into the Holts' pockets, is the bad look. For the first time in a long time (Red McCombs?) we saw the Spurs unambiguously not prioritize basketball with their moves. It's scary, because now we have less confidence that any subsequent move they make will be to improve the product. Like SA might not sign anyone and hang out near the cap, not to be flexible, but to be cheap. They might make a habit of selling off assets like second-rounders for money. It's potentially really bad, because fans won't stand for it, and that could easily be enough to force a sale and move.

[slick'81]

Beyond shitty deadline where spurs couldnt find anyway to help a team that just got blasted by 30 points

Yeah, this has been my concern all season. Not sure how the team can get an infusion of "cash rich" ownership without losing some integrity in the process.

[timvp]

There are multiple teams who could have done the same trade so it was a race to the bottom to see which team would do it for the cheapest amount. The Spurs won that race :lol :cry :lol

Should have extracted a 2nd on something.

Oh shit, yeah. Didn't like a hedge fund or something buy into the team? Selling basketball assets to turn into cash is exactly the kind of shit that hedge funds do.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Not a great look, to be sure.

Reminds me of the time the Spurs traded an injured Tiago Splitter to the Hawks to make way for LaMarcus Aldridge. Well, the Spurs are not the Spurs of Tim, Tony, Manu & RCB anymore.. thats for sure.

What? No. This is very different. The Splitter trade was 100-percent justified. Heck, in retrospect, it would've been a great trade even if the Spurs hadn't signed LMA. It was a basketball trade. The goal was to make the team better. This, this is bad. Like there are dead canaries everywhere.

[Degoat]

So will we buy him out or hold on to him?

I agree. I meant to say that the Spurs are doing what the Hawks were doing then. If Bud was doing Pop a favor, its now Pop doing good for Kerr.

[TheGreatYacht]

PATFO taking it from the entire league :lmao

Poverty front office are bankrupting the Holts. I knew it was bad when FSSW said last night that they still had tickets available for tonight’s game. Can’t even sell out a Kawhi “revenge” game at limited fucking capacity. Good lord. Didn’t think it was cash considerations bad...

[slick'81]

Spurs have no interest in his ass

[slick'81]

Spurs been dealing like a small market hovel for years now

[DesignatedT]

Who the fuck wants to go sit inside a stadium with a mask on?

Its a year of the pandemic and COVID, give ownership a break until there's a pattern of this at least. Maybe GS called and asked them to do a favor or something.

[Kurgan]

Oh shit, yeah. Didn't like a hedge fund or something buy into the team? Selling basketball assets to turn into cash is exactly the kind of shit that hedge funds do.

Good point. We give Mark Cuban shit all the time but at least he's spending money to make his team better on the court. Spurs future is looking very grim without any reliable ownership or franchise player to lean on.

Road construction did well. Quicker progress due to less competing existing traffic was the main reason.

[Dverde]

GSW just used us as dead hooker storage.

[Chinook]

Why do people keep framing this as a "favor"? That's not what it was. It was a transaction. The Spurs sold salary space they could've used for other players for a small bit of money that goes straight into the owners' pockets. They sold a basketball asset for a personal asset. Sure, we can wait until it becomes a pattern, but what if it's ALREADY a pattern, and we just haven't seen it until now? What if SA has been bypassing trades for a while now trying to save money? What if they didn't trade Aldridge because the owners valued getting his buyout over getting folks who could actually play for the team? We could easily see the Spurs passing up both on signing guys and on taking back bad money for picks because the owners want to save as much money as possible.

Let me put it this way: I am more disappointed in this trade than I was in the Miluntinov pick, and blood vessels in my eyes still burst whenever I think about that draft. Not to be dramatic, but this is the kind of thing that might actually affect my enjoyment of the team for the rest of the season. It's that bad, and that scary for what it could mean for the team going forward.

You should jump in on that bet with ATL Spur. He still thinks Milutinov is coming over. :lmao

[exstatic]

This is probably a move for next year as he is out for this season. But still not a bad get, he's only 23, and was finally starting to turn a corner last year with the Warriors. He'll never be all-start but has the potential to be a solid bench player.

No. He’s a jerk. GS would have sent the cash for us to cut him and pay off his contract. He has no role or future here.

Chriss has played well for the Warriors when he is healthy. For a second, I thought it was not a bad deal. But then I saw he was an expiring contract and he was out for the season, so I guess they are just going to cut him. He is a power forward/center and he did okay last season, but looks like just fodder. DJM can tell him the advantage of getting drafted and developed by the Spurs as opposed to the Suns.

I understand you’re frustrated and would have liked to sign someone else instead of taking on dead money just to get some cash savings.

But money is fungible. If the Holts save a few million this year, that’s a few million they can spend in the future. That’s assuming PATFO didn’t completely bungle this and put them into the tax if Aldridge and Lyles take on no money.

Anyone they would add for a minimum type deal wasn’t going to move the needle, and if anything was only going to take playing time away from young guys. That should be what the team is focused on.

They haven’t had real gate revenue in over a year now, and are one of the poorer ownership groups in the new NBA. I’m fine with them penny pinching a little bit here, when there was nothing they were going to do with the roster otherwise. But are still spending near the luxury tax when teams like the Knicks aren’t meeting salary minimums.

The first rounder was for the extra year and $12M on RJ’s contract, and it was pick #30. I swear, some of y’all are so fucking stupid, not understanding about paying to offload salary. It’s like NBA 101.

Maeqees Chris is going to be cut, using the cash that GS would send in the deal. Once dickless is bought out, we’ll have that cash savings to use to fill the two open spots, and they will fill them. They have to, in the season of COVID.

I understand that the cash from the Chriss trade goes to pay his salary (plus a sweetener for ownership). They get more than Chriss will cost them, but less than GSW saves in tax.

But unless Aldridge and theoretically Lyles give up a decent amount, I don’t think the Spurs will have tax room to sign anyone else. They’re not going into the tax to sign someone to replace Lyles.

Aldridge’s buyout will almost certainly happen. Hopefully he gives up a couple million bucks that lets the Spurs fill out the roster.

Aldridge’s buyout will almost certainly happen. Hopefully he gives up a couple million bucks that lets the Spurs fill out the roster.

I don’t think Lyles will be bought out. I also think we still have enough vets, so anyone signed will be a youngster on a tryout. Two years, in case they pan out. Second year, unguarateed, in case they don’t pan out.

Let me put it this way: I am more disappointed in this trade than I was in the Miluntinov pick, and blood vessels in my eyes still burst whenever I think about that draft. Not to be dramatic, but this is the kind of thing that might actually affect my enjoyment of the team for the rest of the season. It's that bad, and that scary for what it could mean for the team going forward.

Milutinov is a damn good player who would really help the Spurs a lot right now splitting time with Poeltl.

Picking him wasn't the problem, the way the Spurs handled it was. They had to room to get him his rookie year. And if they had spent the same money on Milutinov that they had on Carroll it wouldn't have been a waste of a season's MLE.

Considering how third-stringish Eubanks is and the lack of free agents to spend money on, Milutinov would still be a smart signing this summer.

too bad the spurs jerked him around like scola

Maybe a flyer? I dunno, talent was there (I think). Worth signing to a guaranteed deal if he doesn't get money elsewhere

Certainly helps to fill the 4/5 slot.

Sort of depends also on if Spurs sign Collins and/or S&T DDR and get someone like Kuzma back.

He has been rehabbing at the Spurs facility even though he's no longer under contract? Seems like DJ likes him a lot.

Why are we still talking about Chriss? He was released to make room for Dieng. The Spurs ONLY traded for him because GS threw a wad of cash their way. It was more than enough to buy him out, and still turn a profit, because we are not tax payers, and GS are repeat offender tax payers. Both teams came out ahead.

I think the last time I saw timvp posted, besides the grades, was after this deal. The Holts just went for some cash instead of making deals to make the team more competitive. Although I thought Dieng’s signing was a very good one

Oh please. Anybody who thinks there was ownership involvement in a deal for Cady Lalanne is so feeble minded he should have court supervision of his personal affairs for his own good. Don’t be a moron.

It was Pop and Kerr doing each other a small favor. The Warriors got a little cap relief and the Spurs got a little cash. That’s all there was to it.

But yeah, be sure to slander the Spurs ownership every chance you get, to prove what a loyal fan you are.

So when they signed Dieng and cut Chris it cost them money. You act like getting “some cash” is a bad thing and what evidence do you have that there was something available that the Chris move precluded? The shit offered for Aldridge wasn’t as valuable as the money Aldridge left on the table. There’s lots of things to complain about with PATFO, but this ain’t one of them.

You never want to turn down free cash, which is what GS was offering them. It would have cost GS about 3X as much to cut him as it cost us, because we’re not tax payers. That’s why the cash was included. It also doesn’t hurt to have done another team a favor. If we do some sort of deal with GS this summer, maybe it all rotates back to this “nothing” trade.

The "goodwill" aspect of this trade was the primary benefit of it, I believe. Right now, the Spurs only real trade partner is whatever team Coach Bud is on. The Spurs probably need to do a few of these types of otherwise meaningless deals just to try to get some traction for future transactions.
