Official 2022 NBA Free Agency Thread

[RC_Drunkford]

Still kinda interested in Jalen Smith though. Seems he can platoon with Sochan and Landale while the rookie develops. He shouldn't cost too much and is still developing himself.

that would be exstatic 's dream offseason. He's the only player out of the entire FA pool that he wants on the team :lol

[BatManu20]

I’m not for signing any FA’s until I know what direction PATFO are headed in. If we trade DJ, then I don’t want to sign a single player. Just play the young guys next season and let us suck ass so we can go for a top-5 pick.

If we don’t move him, then… I’d still rather suck ass next season so we can at least have an opportunity to maybe get some ping-pong ball luck and move into the top-5 :lol

We’ll likely be a play-in team again next season otherwise. Maybe make it to the First round where we get bounced early.

Tired of this tread-milling shit already. Either suck ass or go all-in and try to sign Ayton and see if the young guys take the next step.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs should be left with 26 million in cap space after making an offer to Lonnie. No other team will offer him more. In other news Woj says Ayton will most likely be sign and traded. As I said the Spurs won't do shit and just run it back

:pop: "We like what we have"

the Spurs never go all in. They make lateral moves that improve the team just a tiny bit. That's what they gonna do and they'll probably be at a worse position in the standings than last season

[BatManu20]

Spurs fans: Tank or go all-in!

Spurs: Sign Bobby Portis and run it back.

:lol

[KingKev]

With reports of Nurkic re-signing for 4/$64M, Robinson for 4/$60M and Claxton at the MLE, it's probably safe to say the 4/$59M max extension for Poeltl more than likely isn't getting it done.

Depends on next summers cap situation and who has money to spend and it is too early to tell.

I think his market will be 15-20mm a year which is why I’d like to flip him now.

i wouldnt either for players i dont see in future plans

[eDizzle20]

This could all be leading up to a trade with the Suns for Ayton. Here's a spin on this afternoon's events...

1. Spurs put QO on Lonnie Walker. Unusual as it seems as if Lonnie is not part of the Spurs plans at all based on the draft.

2. Spurs trade DJM for Gallo and future picks. At face value it's tough to lose an All-Star play DJM didn't provide the 3-point shooting they would have liked from a starting PG. Additionally, he has had his issues with injuries. There's only about a $5,000,000 difference between Gallo's and DJM's annual salary.

3. Spurs approach Ayton with the position of being the face of the franchise. Something he was not give in Phoenix. Ayton likes this idea.

4. Spurs do a sign and trade of Lonnie and Jakob for Ayton. Suns championship window stays open with a quality center and a solid bench player.

5. Spurs build franchise around Ayton with the likes KJ, Vassell, the rooks, and their future picks. TD coaches him in practices.

[itzsoweezee]

Now take on some contracts in exchange for draft picks, trade away Poeltl for draft picks, and tank like crazy. DJM finally forces the front office’s hand to act competently

Yep. The Knicks trade depends on Portland getting cap space so they can take Grant and give the Pistons the 2025 MKE pick Detroit is sending to New York for Duren and Kemba. The Knicks currently have Duren free and clear and could technically change their minds, as could Detroit or Portland. The Charlotte part was already done, though.

Jakob + Doug McDermott for Hayward + removing protection from CHA 23’ pick + 2nd round pick Chinook?

Now that Dejounte is gone, and Mills opted out, I think we can all look forward to a McDermott style idiots contract for Mills.

If we acquired Lakers picks and got Charlotte's pick protection removed plus another first for Jakob, I honestly don't know how this team couldn't be a major power player in the NBA within 3-4 years. I mean we would be more stocked on first round draft picks, options, swaps, and second round draft picks than maybe any team ever. I recall Memphis had a bunch at one point and obviously OJC, but I think this scenario tops both of them.

Then imagine we actually get the first pick next year on our own and get Wembanyama.

Holy shit...we ringing for a decade plus.

[objective]

Better Westbrook for picks than s big money for Mills. And other scrubs
Lakers can take McDermott back

Have you not paid attention to the Thunder the last few years? They still have over 17 draft picks the next five years, not even mentioning pick swaps.

[Chinook]

What's your thinking on this Chinook? Play the OKC game? Stay relevant in draft picks as long as possible?

I think they want 2023 picks, and they don't want to spend cap space when they wouldn't need to to complete the deal. They're definitely playing the asset-collection game, though I'm hoping for an NOP style rebuild rather than a LAL style.

[DPG21920]

Spurs should absolutely be looking to either take bad deals for picks and/or sign any good FA that has value to flip for draft capital a la GS with DLO

I'm not sure, since I don't see a real indication it was called in. But it would be hard for me to see why SA wouldn't care about giving Gallo $10 Million more. I could see ATL wanting to wait to potentially draw this into a bigger deal to get like Capela, but it would be weird for SA to let them do that for free.

We might not heard the last from this trade then.

Robz is talking about first-round picks. The Spurs have 11 off the top of my head: all of their own plus CHA 23, CHI25, ATL 25 and ATL 27.

I think more likely is SA completely caved and didnt get OO AND took Gallo’s fully guaranteed deal since they were so enamored with the picks. I’m 75% confidence in this.

Robz is talking about first-round picks. The Spurs have 11 off the top of my head: all of their own plus CHA 23, CHI25, ATL 25 and ATL 27.

Right. And in my original post I referenced the total accumulation. From what im seeing, theyre at 22 picks total over the next 6 years, and I don't think that is showing the reduction in the three FRPs they just gave up for Dieng if I'm reading it correctly. So my point stands, we have a shit ton of picks and Im wondering if it even surpasses the sickening quantity that OKC had?

[offset formation]

Plus I'm thinking we would have at least 3 more FRPs, conservatively, by potentially trading for Westbrookand dealing Poeltl, which seems like a guarantee at this point.

[offset formation]

So that we would both have 14 or so FRPS over the next 6 years. We would have and additional upwards of 13 SRPs, pkus a few pick swaps mixed in.

We have so many picks that were they kept (of course they wont be, lol), we could literally cycle in 5 more new, entirely fresh lineups over that period, were the Spurs so inclined.the next

So it didgo out an extra year then over what I was discussing with the Spurs at 28 over 6 years. Either way, thats actually a ridiculous amount of picks to acquire. I think theyre down 7 from just this year alone.

The 38 picks are just until 2028, but they might have more after that. Haven't looked that far into it.

[Mr. Body]

A huge amount of picks is well and good, but Presti is going to actually have to do something with them. So far, his recent successes have come straightaway from tanking (Giddey, Holmgren). I think he blew this year's draft otherwise, although we'll see. After that, you just keep replacing players or you have to bundle them up and trade higher or for veteran players. Trading up isn't easy and finding the right vets isn't easy.

[objective]

I'm not expecting this front office to get good deals for future picks.

Look at how incompetent they were with McDermott.

An over 30 role player for a non contending team. That same 42 million or whatever Presti would have turned into 3 first rounders. They'll be lucky to dump him for 2 seconds.

[offset formation]

Might have been able to roll him for more if he wasnt hurt much of last year. His 3rd year is a TO, no?

[objective]

Presti is smart enough to tank while having highly paid talent like SGA.

Meanwhile ...

Didn't Wright work with Fields? Wasn't he around?

After the Toronto buddy intern and Fields, seems like every one that worked with him knows how bad he is and just keep at him until he surrenders.

Hmm, it looks like Murray makes like $50k too little to make allow this trade to happen right now (without other salary added in). The Spurs can take back $20.428 Million for just Murray's salary, but Gallo makes $20.475 Million. Ugh. This isn't like normal trade rules that allow up to a $100k grace to match salaries. It's $5 Million exactly.

[scott]

Miles Bridges getting arrested (for a FELONY) certainly impacts this Charlotte FRP we just acquired. Maybe they'd be interested in John Collins to replace him and can lift their protections on this pick and make it a 3-team trade somehow?

[Robz4000]

If Bridges is suspended or something, maybe that makes the Hornets interested in Richardson or Keldon.

Hornets:
Poeltl
Richardson

Spurs:
Hayward
'25 first with mild protections
'23 pick top 5 protected instead of top 16

Idk about the reasons of Ayton problems with his team and Monty (or Sarver?), but in any case Imho it's a good idea starting a new wiew and era of our team rebuilding with a 23 year old center and first round pick around, for most, a lot of young people... Maxing Ayton for a five years period gives you a strong first step on our immediate future...

[objective]

If Dejounte wasn't in their timeline, neither is Ayton. Nor anyone.

[venitian navigator]

Ayton is 2 years younger than DJ and with his new contract would be under control for next 5 years... Our youngest guys are all 19 years old... And, considering big men need more time to develop, Imho Ayton fits extremely well with our future plans... It all depends (for us) on his effective character and (for him) if he's willing to be part of the project...

Toronto could really make some noise in the East if they get Gobert. He compliments them well. Its interesting that OG wasn't in the Raps best 5-man lineup in terms of advanced stats. OG with the four starters (+0.5 Net Rtg in 345 Mins) Achiuwa with the four starters (+13.4 Net Rtg in 152 Mins). OG just doesn't fit with Siakam, Barnes and FVV.

Gobert for OG + Achiuwa + fillers + two 1sts (2023, 2025) and a pick swap (2024).

Gobert-Siakam-Barnes-Trent-FVV

At first look it doesn't look like the Raps have enough scoring but I think Rudy could average 15-18 a game with the playmaking of Barnes and Siakam opening up lobs and drop off's.

[mystargtr34]

Maybe the reason the Raps weren't interested in Jakob is because they new he wouldn't elevate them to contender, whereas a Gobert puts them kind of in the mix. Siakam + Barnes + FVV >>> Donovan Mitchell + Bogdanovic.

[Ditty]

So we excited about free agency today or what?! :lol. I bet they sign someone like a Bobby Portis just to be annoying lol.

[KingKev]

Did we guarantee Galo?

[tbdog]

My guess. Tyrus Jones and hartenstein for 14 Mil per, 3 year team option. Poeltl traded to hornets for oubre who goes to kings for draft capital.

Or poelt to Grizz for Adams and zaire Williams or 2 draft capitals.

That's all I can honestly see.

[KingKev]

I’m now genuinely concerned about free agency and how PATFO can fk this team up some more. They literally just got their heads out of their own asses.

They are too prideful/stupid to tank. I thi k they might actually make some win now roster additions come July 1st.

Hopefully not. It wouldn't mean much/anything regarding the Lakers success, but I fucking hate them and I like Patty the person, so I don't want to see him in Piss and Purple.

[KingKev]

yea,i read only like 5 mil of that 21 is fully guaranteed

They had to waive him by the end of 6/29/22 which it doesn’t appear they have.


I think there is a good chance they guaranteed him.

[tbdog]

There was rumour that gali agreed to the date change, like Danny Green did for grizzlies.

[KingKev]

There was rumour that gali agreed to the date change, like Danny Green did for grizzlies.

I guess we will know in the coming days. Don’t see why he’d help either side determine 15mm. I suspect he worked with them to get the deal done, he gets guaranteed and will agree to a buy out which will get him more than just the 5mm if he was waived.

So the Sours are a out to have probably 10-15mm in dead cap on the books yet again.

[Atl Spur]

Sit back and enjoy……. Remember no bitching or backtracking about the FO!:)

[KingKev]

The time to sell high in Jak is now.

He is going to look much worse on offense without DJ feeding him.

[objective]

Ayton is 2 years younger than DJ and with his new contract would be under control for next 5 years... Our youngest guys are all 19 years old... And, considering big men need more time to develop, Imho Ayton fits extremely well with our future plans... It all depends (for us) on his effective character and (for him) if he's willing to be part of the project...

Given that Wembanyama is widely regarded as the prize of the next draft, it doesn't seem likely that they'd sign a center to a Max contract

Then again, they don't know what they're doing at all. So maybe they would

I agree that the french one could be ideal, but its just that...you can't be sure about ping pong balls. On the other side DAY , if and once taken via sign and trade, is a sure thing and however a valuable one also in perspective (not a lot of big men have his potential). For absurd, he could be also a decent idea to pair him, at least for this year, with Gallo, considering he needs a spacing big. A rotation of four bigs like Gallo/Sochan at PF and DAY/Collins at C don't look that bad to me...considering that's destined to go on for just this year (in 2023 probably two first round picks, one of them probably in the lottery, are coming).

[CGD]

Totally sell now.

[barakz21]

Would be funny if they traded Jak.. and didn’t get a C. Anyway, how are we looking in terms of picks next year? We have CHA and CHI (if they convey) as well as ours, correct? I wonder who would be the good FAs next year?

[mo7888]

Keldon is officially better than Miles Bridges

Then maybe that's the route to getting those protections lifted...Charlotte lifts the protection for KJ...let Bridges walk and save money in the long run? Just spitballing here..

[Ocotillo]

If Gobert goes somewhere, Utah may be open to an Austrian Center to replace him if they didn't get a 5 in the trade sending Gobert out.

In theory, Wembanyama might be best played at PF with a more stout & sturdy C next to him. This would allow him to be a weakside shot blocker/free safety defender who doesn't have to body up heavier players.

I’m down with that. 22 years old and should be able to run with our young squad and hit the 3’s. The Spurs will have the Bulls to contend with. But yup I like Jalen Smith

[barakz21]

When does free agency start again? I thought it was today. Also, I need my scoops! Where’s tspence when you need him?

[mo7888]

[Mr. Body]

I'm all for giving Jalen Smith a shot. FO probably has other ideas.

The ball-handlers are probably already on the team.

[cd98]

I mean, really, Spurs can't sign anyone in free agency, right? That could mess up the tank. Keep that space open to buy first round draft picks for taking bad contracts.

[Degoat]

Wow KD asked to be traded!

[Leetonidas]

I wonder how much Tyus Jones will go for on the market. He is a very solid PG and could be a decent stop gap

[Mr. Body]

I mean, really, Spurs can't sign anyone in free agency, right? That could mess up the tank. Keep that space open to buy first round draft picks for taking bad contracts.

A Jalen Smith is a young player to try out. He'd match the timeline.

[Mr. Body]

Why would he want to play for the Spurs? He's a more than credible backup who will play for a team that wants to win.

[Leetonidas]

Why would he want to play for the Spurs? He's a more than credible backup who will play for a team that wants to win.

Because from what i've read moreso wants a chance to be the starting PG, not necessarily to win now. He played extremely well in Morant's absence. if that's the case he would just stay in Memphis. Plus, you know, his brother plays here. But if the Spurs truly believe Primo is the PG going forward then yeah i guess it would be a moot point anyway

[spurraider21]

Wow KD asked to be traded!
:lmao

[mo7888]

Insane!

[cd98]

Wow. Could have just kept Dejounte and traded for Durant. But let's be honest, do you really want Durant. He's a ship jumper once he feels his chance to win it is gone. And he is a ticking timebomb. In a short time, he won't be tradable for a ton of draft picks. He's like a hot potato.

[emanueldavidginobili]

1542581793546723329

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Poor Sean Marks.

[cd98]

Did they trade a first round pick for O'Neal before or after Durant said he wanted out? I'm thinking they'll regret that trade now.

Live by the Superstar...Die by the Superstar.

[Chinook]

No wonder KD wants out. Miserable trade.

[cd98]

Yes, with KD gone and Kyrie not far behind, the Jazz just got a lottery pick. Hope that pick is heavily protected for the Net's sake.

If Dejounte just fetched the Spurs 3 picks, two of which are unprotected and a trade swap, maybe 6 picks? One of the preferred destinations is Phoenix. This is crazy!

He’s trying to force his way to Phoenix. And they’ll pay up with Ayton + whatever for him as it likely makes them favorites in the West and maybe overall.

[Mr. Body]

I can't imagine the low key poisonous environment in Phoenix.

Meanwhile Brooklyn tumbles out of PO contention, although they were already liminal anyway. Houston's picks they got get much more valuable. Atlanta has much more room to make the picks we just got worth less in the next several years.

Yeah, those sweet, sweet unprotected picks won't matter if they're unprotected because they'll be in the late teens or twenties anyway.

If Royce O’Neal is worth a first Josh Richardson surely is too

[Leetonidas]

this makes sense for many reasons and one peripheral one would be that he takes things so personally, he would love nothing better than to get the suns to the finals and knock draymond green out.

Ayton would have to agree to it though. So their entire hope kinda depends on if he even wants to go to Brooklyn :lol

[Leetonidas]

Yeah, those sweet, sweet unprotected picks won't matter if they're unprotected because they'll be in the late teens or twenties anyway.

I'm sure houston fans thought the same thing about those Brooklyn picks last season. things can change very quickly man. it's weird seeing you so enraged at FO :lol

[cjw]

Does Brooklyn have their 2023 pick? I don't want another tanking team in the mix :lol

Not really. They traded the worst of Brooklyn, Philly and Houston for O’Neal. They owned Philly’s pick (Harden) and had given up a pick swap to Houston for Harden.

All they’re left with is whichever of those three picks falls in the middle. So SOME incentive to tank because Houston will stink too, and that swap probably won’t convey.

[gospursgojas]

Yeah, those sweet, sweet unprotected picks won't matter if they're unprotected because they'll be in the late teens or twenties anyway.

Ah. The 25 and 27. You is right.

[gospursgojas]

Houston owns the nets picks and swaps for next 5 years. Thems picks/swaps gonna be good.

[KobesAchilles]

What teams are starting to figure out is that players have no loyalty to them nowadays. It’s going to be very interesting going forward bc let’s say Phoenix does get him and they lose the next two years and CP3 is washed. How long until KD asks for another trade? These organizations have to start thinking along the lines that the players are only gonna stick around for 2-3 years.

But if I were Brooklyn, I would announce to the world that KD wants a trade. See everybody’s best offer and if I like none of them then tell him to get his ass back in our gym. He has 4 years with us and really no real leverage.

[TD 21]

I couldn't stand Durant long before it became popular not to, but I don't blame him at all for this.

Since the Nets sent a bunch of their picks to the Rockets in the Harden trade and have no incentive to lose, I'd prefer the Pelicans (Ingram, Daniels, other youth, extra picks) to Suns (Ayton, Bridges, picks) just because Ingram can give them the poor man's Durant replacement as a first option type.

Once again the Lakers probably get lucky. Westbrook, Horton-Tucker, '27 and '29 1sts wasn't cutting it when the Nets had Durant to appease, but now good luck doing better for Irving who can walk in a year.

If both come to fruition, at least it significantly decreases the odds of the Warriors or Scumbag ringing.

[timtonymanu]

LeBron and Durant sure beta'd it up for the next generation.

Nephew did his own damage too

[cd98]

I kind of feel like KD, achilles injury KD, just feels like a risk not worth taking for most teams. He's 33. How many years as a dominant player post achilles injury? I can't see him being good beyond 34 and last playoffs he was mighty awful, albeit against a great Boston defense.

Big factor here. He’s not Lebron. He doesn’t have much years left

[Mr. Body]

Right. Durant was healthy and ready to play in the playoffs this year and was terrible. It's almost for the best for Brooklyn to move him to an excited team. Look forward to the Suns having another PO meltdown next year while Paul and Kevin look at one another stupefied.

Still teams would be thinking twice with their FRP’s for a dream of landing KD, diminishing the numbers of bidders. Supply <<< diminishing demand.

The Lakers, of course!

[CGD]

Just find a way to get rid of McDermotts awful contract.

I don’t mind having it actually. I think it would allow the Spurs to bring back a player with a salary closer to 20M to entice the another team to give up an asset for space.

That’s a cheap fucking contract, and they would have gotten full Bird rights. That’s what NBA front offices think of Lonnie Walker. They do not share your sunny optimism. They see what I see: that his ‘improvement’ last year was just a function of higher usage, that he’s still inefficient, and that his 3 pointer fell off a fucking cliff.
Still think he signs for the vet minimum? I’d be open to a wager if you want to put money on it.

Spurs just pulled Lonnie's QO. I wonder what Wright got up his sleeves? Spurs included Landale to quickly get the DJ trade done, now they pull the QO for Lonnie to open up more cap space. There's gotta be something brewing

Other teams' execs on phone to Wright:

"Quite the off-season you're having. What do you have up your sleeves I wonder?"

Wright: "Arms? No, legs. Wait wait wait .... Arms."

Almost $40M available right now...surely we'll deploy alot of it to acquire picks..

KD just requested out of Brooklyn. Bring him home to Texas for 4 years.

Maybe Poeltl can be sent to Phoenix if they swap Ayton for KD. They have all their own future picks, but no extra picks either.

Yeah I agree, I think someones going to take a chance on him and give him a nice bag. Who knows he might do a lot better next year with a change of scenery and a different coaching approach.

Spurs and Indy are two of the few teams that can facilitate a trade for the Nets. Not acquiring Durant or Irving, but being a third or fourth team in the deal and getting back assets. That’s probably why Marks cleared the decks of Walker’s QO and Jock.

Watch us pull one over on everyone and sign Ayton and trade for Kyrie lol....I'm joking

Nice. It would have been awkward to go into free agency with the past in mind.

Spurs have been saying that for four years. I don't see a plan. All I see is draft, develop, trade for picks, draft, develop, trade for picks, etc. It's a Neverending cycle that has the Spurs no different than any other bottom feeder.

As a UFA he will. Folks on ST generally still act as if the salary cap is $60 mil.
