Unless they intend to give Russell an extension, it feels rough for the Lakers. I like it well enough for Minny.

As I said a couple of times, Wiseman's only an expiring (next year, not this year. This year still matters) if he's a complete bust. Most likely he'll remain intriguing enough to where the Spurs will want to retain him, like basically every high-lotto bust does. He's far more likely to be a...

If you're putting Dedmon in anything, I'd think it'd be a Jamaican casket.

Any team that's going to value Wiseman and has the means to give positive value is likely going to be right with the Spurs for bidding in your scenario. The Spurs aren't the Kings in your analogy; they're very much the Pistons. The most times he's traded, the worse his value gets. I'm not giving up...

We aren't talking about the likely scenario where Wiseman is a bust and the Spurs take on his salary for compensation. We're talking about the scenario where Wiseman is worth multiple second-rounders to the Spurs. The Warriors aren't valuing him at all, so why should they get paid for him like he's...

Vassell seems like the player who might be traded this summer given his potential discontent. Johnson is a big negative, and he's going to take a lot of protecting to make work as a starter on a contender. If the Spurs draft Scoot, then Henderson/Vassell/Johnson/Sochan and Poeltl or some other...

It's very likely the Spurs will have the cap space to trade Dedmon to a team without guaranteeing his contract. They wouldn't be able to use him as a TE unless he was guaranteed, though. You're correct that they changed that rule. I do think Dedmon could be good for a contender at his price. I...

This isn't the quip you think it is. We know that the Warriors can save money by ditching salary. But for that salary to be Wiseman would have to show the Warriors value him less than random role-players, and the gap between them picking like seven guys over him and the Spurs taking on a huge...

Why do you think Wiseman would have less value to GS than the Spurs? They need a good center as well, and they'd really like him to be a good investment. A player who's good versus a player who's bad on the same money should have dramatically different values. That's even more true given that...
