The Orlando Magic have agreed to terms on a 2-year deal with Bol Bol, a league source told the @orlandosports (https://twitter.com/orlandosports/).​

How many fking bigs do the Magic need? That franchise makes Brian Wright look like Elon Musk.

I'm assuming they are going to move Isaacs..

[lmbebo]

This was expected...

Yeah. Anticipating that we are dumping ground in a bigger unannounced deal to happen.

[mo7888]

Yup

Spurs are like the groom waiting for his bride at the altar, but already with his buddy Tom on the way to Vegas

[KingKev]

Tough contract to move. Hasn’t played since the bubble, coming off multiple surgeries with skme
off court drama (which probably isn’t material). Not sure many teams are going to give up much for that. i’d think Magic are better off giving him a chance to show what he can do. They seem pretty invested to me versus selling low.

Also Magic aren’t the smartest franchise.

I'm not sure they get positive value back...I think it's more of a neutral move... there's risk in taking him on but a team that can afford some risk might do it...there's a real upside possibility if he's healthy...and a real downside if he's not...Indy should go after him..

I thought he might be a risk worth taking if we kept DJ but, now I'd rather try and use space on getting picks back...I might would revisit it if we strike out on taking bad contracts...although I think the odds are pretty high that we end up facilitating deals for picks here shortly..

[RC_Drunkford]

We get no one again as per usual. Is there a scrub like Doug mcbuckets we can throw our cap space at ?

this is exactly what we should be doing. Don't add anybody. We can't afford to be better than Houston or OKC.

[spurraider21]

Interesting we are seeing all these deals, yet Spurs with the most cap room haven't done anything as of yet... :corn:
we're waiting for the big trades and sign and trades so we can help w/ salary imo. i dont think spurs are trying to sign players with cap space right now

[lmbebo]

Twitter alive with a 2 min segment from Windhorst about Royce Oneal to Nets trade.. Insinuating a complete rebuild in Utah with dumping of Gobert/Mitchell?

[RC_Drunkford]

If Utah is trading Mitchell the Spurs messed up by trading DJ. I assume Jazz will keep one of them though, so they should end up with a better record than we do

[cd98]

Twitter alive with a 2 min segment from Windhorst about Royce Oneal to Nets trade.. Insinuating a complete rebuild in Utah with dumping of Gobert/Mitchell?


How are they going to tank when they have the all-star game there next season? My guess is that they may trade Gobert if the assets meet what they want, but no way they are trading Mitchell outside of a trade demand.

Jesus, what is going on in the NBA!? tank-a-palooza this year fosho

[BillMc]

Any chance the Spurs are:

1. Trying to get in the Durant sweepstakes. (We now have a lot picks to trade).
2. Willing to absorb a massive contract like Westbrooks in return for assets?
3. Going after Ayton.

Any of those real possibilities?

2. maybe. We will definitely be the dumping ground for any contracts that are just in the trades to make the money work. All those players nobody wants will get re-routed to the Spurs. I hope we can get 2 firsts out of it

I think the most likely thing is we are going to be a salary dumping ground for teams trying to pursue Durant or Kyrie.

1. The fact that Durant names Phoenix and Miami as his preferred destinations means he wants to win now...that ain't us.

2. I've already said that if Westbrook comes to the Spurs, I will burn the Riverwalk to the ground.

3. The Ayton ship has sailed. It may have made sense if we had Murray, Primo and Sachon develop, and we have our poor man's Timmy...but yeah, it just doesn't make sense anymore.

Sounds about right. Our moves of trading our only All Star and basically tanking this season for next year's lottery are understandble for the big picture. I wonder what attendance will be like for games. I had already dropped my season tickets, but it wasn't because of our record. I enjoyed last season, but thought I could spend a few grand elsewhere in my life. What I want to know about is cap space. Is there a degree of 'use it or lose it' involved? In which case I get us being a salary dump playground.

[timvp]

1542900365892489216

Five-year max with a player option? Yeah, no way to compete with that.

[CGD]

Nobody think they could go after Sexton ?

I think they might have, but Everything has been thrown in the air with Durant. Spurs need to be smart and keep max flexibility.

[KingKev]

Phoenix probably front runners for KD.

I was thinking Duncan Robinson dump but then looked at that contract. Not a chance.

[Atl Spur]

Klutch clients are winning:) Good for them…….. I’m glad we approach stuff totally different. We don’t stop people from getting their money but we won’t pay dumb contracts!

That water looks flammable to me!!

[John B]

This freaking KD deal is messing with our chance on Jalen Smith tbh. Can’t they prioritize on Jalen as he could be a part of the rebuild?

[timvp]

Do we have to use most of our cap space one way or the other? Not sure how that works.

No, teams don't have to use all of their cap space. There is a salary floor but if teams don't reach it, the only thing that happens is that their exisitng players get a raise. It happened to OKC recently.

Wow, that sounds pretty cool for the current players on the team. Have many teams ever done that?

[baseline bum]

2. I've already said that if Westbrook comes to the Spurs, I will burn the Riverwalk to the ground.


Pretty obvious they'd buy the pos out if they traded for him. Don't need a cancer like that around the young guys.

[baseline bum]

Do we have to use most of our cap space one way or the other? Not sure how that works.

If the Spurs don't hit the salary floor I think all the players get raises to hit it.

[John B]

I could just see Cacook and Woodard shooting pools waiting for a raise

[buttsR4rebounding]

Do we have to use most of our cap space one way or the other? Not sure how that works.

The minimum team salary this year is just over $111 million. I believe if a team doesn’t reach it all the players get proportionately more money so that the team pays out the minimum.

[spurs10]

If the Spurs don't hit the salary floor I think all the players get raises to hit it. :tu

[mo7888]

I could just see Cacook and Woodard shooting pools waiting for a raise

If we have roster spots after we finish with the expending deals I'd keep those to and JW...heck I'd even keep Stewart if we had a spot...easy to cut loose during the season if you wanna look at a Gleague prospect too..

That 3 years would’ve been now if PATFO didn’t try to salvage that failed marriage with a good face. Damn, Dubs lost Klay and KD, injuries to Curry and now a champ plus they have young future squad, albeit they’re bleeding luxury tax. But that’s beside the point :lol. Spurs could’ve unloaded Demar, LMA, Gay and Mills then and got lottery picks. Just finally it seems PATFO has waken up.

[mo7888]

Atlanta is trading Kevin Huerter to Sacramento for Justin Holiday, Mo Harkless and a future first round pick, sources tell EPSN.

there's a pretty reasonable chance that pick never conveys tbh with how the kings are building :lol

[mo7888]

The Indiana Pacers are trading guard Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN.

[Robz4000]

Brogdon to the Celtics

[Robz4000]

That prolly means White got traded to the Pacers.

[Atl Spur]

Suggestion or rumor?

Just sounds logical

[Texas_Ranger]

The Celtics are sending Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith and a 2023 first-round pick

lol got Brogdon for nothing

[Robz4000]

Not a time to rejoice, when the Hawks may have gotten a better pick from Huerter than any of the 3 (+swap) we got for Dejounte.

[spurraider21]

nesmith has underwhelmed... he was a candidate for us at that spot in 2021

[Ariel]

It's clear more than ever than for the Dejounte deal not to end up a r*pe, the Hawks need to suck 2 years from now. The Charlotte pick may convey 2 or 3 years from now, if at all (if Miles Bridges doesn't re-sign).

[-21-]

Not a time to rejoice, when the Hawks may have gotten a better pick from Huerter than any of the 3 (+swap) we got for Dejounte.

i dont see the kings getting out of the bottom 10 teams in the next 3 years. doubt those picks will convey.

Miles Bridges might be going to prison. He chocked someone until they passed out.

How so with the protections that are on them? I mean it's not impossible but it's unlikely...

[Atl Spur]

A lot can happen in 3-5 years; we’re just playing the law of averages. We’ll be fine. BTW, do draft well anyway no matter the pick? Lol

No it doesn’t. Those picks won’t convey. They’ll eventually be 2 second rounders.

Of course. It's not that difficult to figure out. Miles Bridges might have taken our 1st rounder to prison with him.

[Leetonidas]

It's top 10 and top 12 protected then converts to two seconds. Definitely not better at all

[Robz4000]

It's top 10 and top 12 protected then converts to two seconds. Definitely not better at all

Kings should be in the play-in next year so it prolly does become a lottery pick. Can't say the same about any of the ATL picks (though we'll have to see).

[Ariel]

The lottery protected pick from the Kings?
https://www.nbamaniacs.com/noticias/kevin-huerter-llega-a-kings-por-justin-holiday-mo-harkless-y-una-primera-ronda/
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports the first-round pick headed to Atlanta is lottery-protected in 2024, top-12 in 2025 and top-10 in 2026.
I'd say that pick should get a mid first rounder in 2025, maybe even sooner. The Miles Bridges issue just crapped on our Charlotte pick, and if Atlanta picks in the 20-30 range in the 2025-2027 period, that one pick is better value than anything we have. Not saying that it's better value NOW, but saying the entire Dejounte deal is entirely contingent on the Hawks sucking a$$ 3-5 years from now, otherwise we'd be much better off with 2 mid firsts now... think about it: would you have traded Dejounte to Charlotte for 13&15? We might be getting less than that... let's just hope Atlanta blows up by then.

[Ariel]

It's top 10 and top 12 protected then converts to two seconds. Definitely not better at all
It's THE KINGS. They won't be a top team, but they're motivated enough that they'll put enough of a fight to make it out of that range. That pick will turn into a mid first rounder by 2024 or 2025 at the latest. Charlotte's ship is going down if they lose Miles Bridges. I'll take that pick over Charlotte's in a heartbeat

[KingKev]

:lol you can't predict the future dude. The Kings have two all-star caliber players plus Barnes, plus their 4th pick, plus their FA additions and a new coach. You're so quick to act like you know what's going to happen when you dont know shit. And Miles Bridges is a loss for Charlotte but jesus youre acting like he's prime LeBron and the difference between a top seed and missing the playoffs.

some of y'all need to chill the fuck out. there's a reason every single analyst agrees that we got a great haul for DJ and the rest of you homers think we could have gotten more

You need to read and comprehend before you type. It's precisely because WE CAN'T READ THE FUTURE (YOU NOR I) that I said the Dejounte deal IS CONTINGENT ON ATLANTA SUCKING A$$ 3 years from now. If they don't, it's a HORRIBLE deal for us. I DON'T KNOW what's going to happen, which is PRECISELY why I said what I said.

[John B]

John Wall to the Clippers?? two-year $13.2m deal, getting bought-out and making more from what he lost on the buyout. That's a businessman :lol

[Russ]

The lottery protected pick from the Kings?

Looks like the Hawks got more for Huerter than the Spurs got for Lonnie (who went one pick ahead of Huerter).

and yet you are here predicting the Kings pick will be more valuable because, in your words, "ITS THE KINGS, they wont be a top team." so apparently you are the one who needs to comprehend the shit you're typing :lol

As far as DJ/atlanta picks, no shit sherlock, you ain't stating anything that isnt completely fucking obvious already. "omg the hawks need to not be good in 3 years for those picks to pay off!" NO SHIT?? :lol

Free agent forward Derrick Jones Jr. has agreed to a two-year, $6.6 million deal to return to the Chicago Bulls, with player option in second season, sources tell @TheAthletic (https://twitter.com/TheAthletic/) @Stadium (https://twitter.com/Stadium/).

[wildbill2u]

The dangers, pitfalls and follies of trying to predict the future by tanking and with future draft choices whether protected or not becomes visible in this thread. People getting riled up, emotional, and absolutely illogical over "what-ifs" far into the future. The only trades that seriously matter are those which have an instant effect on some team for next season. "All else is sound and fury, signifying nothing."

[BackHome]

So it will probably be a week before we see any movement on the Durant trade probably 98% of trades that could be done have been done.

nah, I kinda expected that the moment DJ got traded. But still, for as long as I’ve been a Spurfan (since 01), I really can’t remember the team making any 12:01 type of signings. If they have, it must be pretty rare. In any case, I expected them to make C level signings, maybe even B at best. After the trade, that went down to C at best. But for them
not to have signed anyone? Just seems weird.

[Mr. Body]

It's to make up for how soft and mentally weak Towns is when it matters. He was awful in the POs. But having him play PF next to Gobert is going to be a mess.

[Mr. Body]

Utah has to cut Beverly. They want no part of him.

[mo7888]

Yeah kinda logjammin the C depth for Minny there not sure why but maybe there are additional moves?

Now Utah has a hole at C...maybe we can fill it...and yes I know I'm setting myself up for a baseline bum retort lol

[heyheymymy]

Guess one way of looking at it is Minny will have one of Rudy or KAT on the floor at all times perhaps?

Wouldn't see Minny dumping KAT then would you? Kinda feels like he is a knucklehead for them and there were times last season where Twolves looked better with KAT on the bench. No way that is the plan though right? Just thinking out loud here show me the light

I was going to say "LOL Spurs" but then again, DJ puts up nice stats while Rudy is DPOY various times.

Pretty dumb move by the Wolves tbh. Kinda curious to see if an oldschool 2-big line up can succeed. How can you get 3 unprotected firsts, 1 top 5 protected and a swap for this type of contract though? That's an amazing haul for Utah. I guess they are really blowing it up. Mitchell to Miami should be next. They will be our tank rival

:lmao:lmao Jesus fucking Christ Minny

[heyheymymy]

What a gamble for Minny. Don't feel like Rudy G is enough to render those picks less valuable than the return Minny gets from the trade.

Rudy basically has to vault the fuck out of Minny to offset coughing up those picks and I'm not sure I bet on that occurring personally.

[Mr. Body]

This is a move they made to cover for their $200+ million center who doesn't want to play center and isn't good at center things. So they got another $200+ million player who can't shoot or guard the perimeter and will clog the lane for guys like Anthony Edwards.

[R. DeMurre]

Towns gonna be taking 8 3pt shots a game now. Interesting experiment. It'll be fun to watch, at the very least.

[exstatic]

Um, Utah needs a center, and just got a lot of yummy pick from Minny.

Patrick Beverley is that kind of player that everyone has to say nice things about when he's on your team-- we love his passion, his intensity is contagious--but in truth no one really wants him because he's too crazy and out of control. I bet you could find a hundred tweets and instagram posts praising him, while the whole time everyone's thinking holy shit I hope this guy gets traded soon.

[Ocotillo]

I also read something about Utah talking with Miami about Donovan Mitchell

[Mr. Body]

Word is Utah is planning on rebuilding around Donovan Mitchell. He's still young.

[Chinook]

Then the Spurs get Cam from Phoenix for Poeltl and sign Smith. Profit.

[mo7888]

ex thinks they want Poeltl :lol

Ayton is probably who they pursue if they keep Mitchell...but i imagine NY will offer 5 unprotected picks for Mitchell if they want to blow it all up now...Poeltl is probably a fall back if they don't get Ayton and build around Mitchell...either way this should increase Poeltl's value...and we need to move on it before the rest of the league figures out how dumb the Minnesota trade was..

[timtonymanu]

:lol this is why I find it ridiculous when sniffers say that tanking is bad because it hasn’t worked for New Orleans and Minnesota, but those two franchises are always making mistakes that even the Spurs can’t match.

[cd98]

TBH, if I were the Jazz, I'd want Poeltl. He played college at the University of Utah and unlike American players, Euros like Utah. You get a guy that would want to be there and costs a lot less.

Heurter is only a shooter and isn't terribly good. The Spurs went hard for shooters last summer and it didn't work out.

Building around a maxed out 6'1" shooting guard who doesn't defend might be the worst strategy there is.

So basically 5 first rounders (3 unprotected, 1 top 5 protected, + the recent pick Kessler) plus an unprotected swap, plus some useful players (like Beverly) for a defense only center on a horrible contract... better deal than we got, frankly.

Rudy is a 3x DPOY, multiple time All Star who's locked up for 2 more years than DJ (though at a pretty hefty price). He was always gonna have more value than Murray.

That said, it's definitely a huge overpay by Minnesota and I also think the Spurs could have probably gotten another pick swap from ATL in hindsight :lol

I figured Poeltl is going to go for probably just a protected 1st rounder. Not to many teams will be interested in a center you can't even play at the end of games cause of his free throw shooting AND who is looking for a big pay day

I think this narrows the range of motion for the Durant move. Durant is great, but i would have to think long and hard about giving up control of my draft for the next 8 years. MIA will pivot to Mitchell, leaving the Suns as the only viable team right now. Could mean KD just returns to BKN

[rjv]

per woj, the jazz are looking to retool around mitchell and presently have no plans to trade him.

[Chinook]

Fair enough, but 3 unprotected picks more (and MIN's 2022 FRP on top of that)?
Rudy is also 30 not 25

I mean, I don't think they made a good deal, but if you believe Rudy was a victim of Utah's defensive scheme, then yeah, he's multiple tiers above Murray. I think both ATL and Minny took risks.

According to a league source, the Celtics are expected to agree to a multi-year deal with Sam Hauser when the dust clears in the coming days, too. Boston made that route pretty clear when it declined Hauser's team option for next year.

He expects Brooklyn to take Herro, Robinson and picks:lmao

If the spurs are facilitating, we better get some good shit

[rjv]

it'd be hilarious AF if the jazz packaged beverley and picks for ayton; pat would have to play with CP3 after all that smack he talked about him.

Spurs should go 0-82 bext season to land wembanyama

I'll breathe easier when Ayton is confirmed elsewhere. I don't trust PATFO to not pull some BS all of a sudden with that huge amount of cap space.

Utah just got a center.
I'm not saying 2022 Walker Kessler is as good as good as 2022 Rudy Gobert, but 2022 Kessler > 2013 Gobert.
When #9 and #20 came up, Kessler was at the top of my list.
