Always enjoy this article/list when it hits.

Of note to our Spurs, Wemby is ranked as the 4th most valuable player in terms of trade value before he’s even been selected, behind only Jokic, Giannis and Luka.

Spurs have waited 26 years for their next generational prospect.

Meanwhile, ESPN will be like "Should the Spurs trade the #1 pick for Zion Williamson!?"

JFC 26 years since winning the rights to draft Tim. Feels like it was just yesterday I was watching him curbstomp Hot Rod Williams and McDyess in his first playoff game, on the road in Phoenix.

[Seventyniner]

Great convo in the video version about Number Two. They call him out for all of his shit, though they don't acknowledge that he did the same thing to the Spurs.

Kawhi is #62 (behind even DeMar DeRozan).

Simmons is a clipper season ticket holder and blasts nephew on his trade value podcast. He is seems somewhat plugged into the clippers and makes a comment on how nephew has destroyed the locker room and doesn’t communicate with the team.

Hm, seems like we've heard that story before

[Russ]

While we're piling on Kawhi (which is fun in this exuberant moment) . . .

Here are some others ranked above Kawhi's #62:

#56 -- Derrick White

#54 -- Dejounte Murray

#52 -- Shaedon Sharpe

#49 -- Austin Reaves

#48 -- Brandon Miller (not yet in NBA)

#47 -- Scoot Henderson (not yet in NBA)

#45 -- Chet Holmgren (entering year two with zero games)

Aw, the hell with it . . .

Found it really interesting he puts DJM right above Trae

[ambchang]

I’m surprised shaedon sharpe made the list at all.

It's hilarious watching ESPN begging for Spurs to trade Wemby pick every day. It's the stupidest shit ever, what a clown show they are now but they have been like that for a few years now so we really shouldn't be expecting anything any different.

youngs on the hook for 160 million, djm is an expiring 18

I would say that would be a negative for DJM. Your not trading for these players as salary filler. you are trading for these players to be on you team long term and expecting to pay them. DJM will want a contract about that price come 2024. He may not get it but if he is on your team and your not willing to offer a good amount he may leave just because he feels slighted by you.

Beal going to the suns being reported by Woj. Sending Chris Paul out. Wonder if he gets utilized in DC. Maybe no go for Spurs

Yeah that's what Phoenix needs. More people who are going to be demanding the ball. Replacing one China doll with an even more fragile China doll. :lol

[kjhip1]

So now pick swaps seem to be all the rage. Handful of 2nd rounders, pick swaps in addition to CP3 and Landry Shamet

[LeBowen]

Wait...Beal's agent is Mark Bartelstein, father of Suns' CEO Josh Bartelstein.

Tampering investigation incoming.

In all seriousness, a rare lose-lose trade. Suns will obviously trade Ayton for some depth, but still, Beal is not what they need.

At least CP0 got dumped yet again.
