If the US did it, I'm actually onboard. That was the one big piece of leverage Russia had on Europe, so taking it away looks like the right decision in hindsight... :tu

Just now? He thinks Trump is smart. He subscribes to conspiracy theories about the raid against Osama bin Laden. He continues to defend the Assad regime, pretending that it didn't use poison gas.

If I were BKY, I would immediately call HOU and offer up Bridges for 2-3 of our picks back. HOU gets someone with actual game, who plays defense and fits their core but still gets a few extra picks

End of the day I am glad he’s gone. I didn’t want SA paying a Center who has quite frankly fallen off some 20M or anything close. I doubt he gets that. I bet 65m or something like that. But SA isnt going to be a playoff team even with Wemby and they arent finding a PG next year that is playoff...

Hey good news! Spurs made a deal that netted them a first so someone will be getting two free tickets to a Spurs game when they get back from the RRT! More to come…

He’s a winning guy though so I at least expected a pick equal to or better than where he was drafted (10) + no ballast and maybe a player that has value (like a Richardson type).

I am going to jump off of a very high cliff if HOU lands Wemby lol Mavs: Generational talent in Luka NO: Possible multi all nba maybe MVP caliber if healthy Zion + extra picks MEM: Franchise engine in Ja and JJJ HOU: Generational talent possibly in Wemby + all of imploded BKY picks

So you are saying you would take on that 2nd rounder for Khem’s deal in isolation?

Absolutely - on the surface though with the only known (Khem) it screams SA settled and Jaks value wasn’t good….which then begs two questions: Why did SA tank his value and hold on too long and/or why didnt SA just keep him since he’s a good player (and this is from someone that wanted him traded -...

I mean, it’s 2028 with the Spurs pick….how good of a pick from TOR would it have to be to choose that over your own pick? I would say anything 10+ and the BOS deal looks MUCH better

What happened to Jaks value? I wanted Josh and Doug and Jak moved pre-season for this very reason….Hard to argue anyone improved their value by waiting and it was obvious all should be trade candidates too. Oh well. Hopefully we get some collective good news on the picks and more moves to keep...

Like I easily take the BOS deal lol…am I crazy. I value having your own picks more than a lot of things…so a chance to get basically a fully unprotected pick and keep your own? Ya, I get it that SA can still swap if its pick 2 and thats amazing…..but unless this raps pick protection is SO light, is...

Correct. If Khem was the cost of compensation? Fine. I get it. But until we know I am assuming worst. But I would have been ok walking away with Jak and paying him functionally 13M in year 1 even if deals weren’t good enough too. I honestly think, if TOR deal is pick 10 or worse protected (so...

Again, I too am awaiting the pick. Big picture thats all that matters. I dont care if y’all think I’m being pedantic either; this FO has a lot to prove and every move is critical. Yes, some matter more than others and not making huge mistakes is the only important thing. However, details...

Fake

You have to start asking questions then if SA messed up letting Jak tank his value playing for this bad team with no point guard vs trading him in off season etc… I was just refuting your point about it being about Wemby when that is so easily resolved as I mentioned.

Correct to a degree (which I already said). If it’s lightly protected like pick 8 or less. Don’t care much for Khem side because that was compensation for doing it. Top 10 or worse then I think it’s pretty silly to take on Khem for that when your asking price was 2 firsts and you only got one. And...

Seriously? It was against the law to be gay not so long ago because the bible says so

WHat? Just protect it top 3 and problem solved..

I dont understand this always cavalier attitude of being lazy in deals just because “you can” lol. I really dont. Thad Young was right there for the taking. I dont really care if SA doesn’t have plans for the cap space, Khem is a bad deal and no reason SA should have had that forced upon them...

Huh? Thad young is sitting right there…

But why take KHEM on when you are giving up the best player in the deal?? You have the asset and let’s say Jak was going to cost 20M…Now it would have only been 13M which is worth it for Jak. Like, I get its “ok” to be lazy but why do they always do this unless taking on that shit contract was...

Please show me what I’m missing. Khem is terrible and has money guaranteed. Sure, SA gets more cap space this year, but it hurts it (SA still ok there but why take on any money) next year for a nothing player and relented on not only getting 2 picks but it’s protected and not even this years pick...

Good - give it to us then if you want Jak or piss off

I hate already it was Khem.. ok you dont get GTJ and a first, I get that. But you ask for 2 firsts, get only one and take on 30 year old Khem who has 7M on the books guaranteed next year???? I also dont love that it’s not this years pick??? WHY???

Faith based

I hatteeeeeeee that they took on Khem in the deal. I wont care if its pick 8 or less protected but if its lottery protected and they took on Khem who unlike Jak has 7M guaranteed next season I will puke. So dumb to agree to Khem unless its a hell of a pick

MEM, CLIPS even LA still need to add players. TOR, BOS any team serious does.

Spurs missing out on the WB for a pick sweepstake sucks tbh…it really does. I only hope that it was because they have deals they value more lined up and not because they drew some stupid line in the sand out or principle and just missed out.
