what do you want to do with mid lottery picks? I thought we need a franchise player in the top 6? It would not even be guaranteed that the Spurs get into the top 6 unless they tank on purpose

it's not about them being better than DJ, but if they under 25 years old there is still upside and they could get there. OG Anounoby, John Collins and Deandre Ayton. All of them don't get enough usage on their teams when you look up their efficiency. They can all average way better stats if they...

yeah right Atlanta with DJ and Trae Young will get us a top 6 pick :lmao

yes

1541598618099933184 Wall just got bought out by the Rockets. Clippers the favorites now

then tell me who are those teams? Cause I don't see the Rockets, OKC, Magic, Pistons, Pacers or Kings giving us a pick just because we need a top 6 pick. Maybe we should just give them Keldon while we're having a fire sale

neither would 3 Atlanta Hawks picks tbh. Which team could we trade him to that guarantees us a top 6 pick in the 2023 draft?

if the Spurs want as many picks as possible in the 2023 draft they can just take on bad contracts and move J-Rich and voila they got 3 picks

as far as I know for all these years he never made one right call. This has all basically been reported or is common logic. Doesn't mean anything tbh

so Gallo's contract being guaranteed seems to be a move in general, not really related to a DJ trade. Fischer does say the Spurs seem to be gearing up for a rebuild or at least some parts of the Spurs FO are feeling out that situation. The guy doesn't have any Spurs intel though, so he's probably...

Jake Fischer just said on his show he doesn't know anything about how far negotiations are, so basically nothing close to being finalized at all it seems

there are only about 10 players in the NBA that spurstalkers would want on their team. Everybody else is a scrub according to them

seems like Gallo's contract becoming guaranteed actually helps facilitate the deal to match salaries

I expected that to happen tbh. Play a full season, maybe get an All-NBA nomination to be supermax eligible, play the market when more teams got cap space and the Lakers can move on from Westbrook. He'll probably join LeBron again.

1. DJ has not reached his ceiling yet 2. We don't know what the ceiling of guys like Vassell, Keldon, Primo, Branham, Sochan and Wesley is 3. We could easily add some starters under 25 to that group via trade and free agency if the FO would decide to pursue them aggressively for once 4. We got...

:pop: "sign an extension with us and we will trade you." Remember we already did the same with Derrick White because it's too late. The roster is 23.4 years old. How much younger do you want to get? Besides that we can get 3 future 1st round picks in the 20s just by taking on bad...

our average age is 23.4 years, what's there to blow up?

In other news Sean Marks just stepped down as the Brooklyn Nets GM

It's idiotic tbh. I can't see Pop going for it though, he's stubborn. What pisses me off is that they don't seem to pick a direction. If you contemplate tearing it down and don't do it, you better be trading for a starting PF and make a run at someone like Ayton in FA. But stop with this middle of...

he has legit intel from the Hawks FO. He called the Doncic for Trae Young trade hours before it went down.

I don't want to do it period. But a haul would most likely mean at least 3 unprotected picks including swaps who would most likely end up in the top 10 plus at least 1 young player. The team that gets him would have to massively overpay thanks, was wondering why it never worked. I used the...

Can't embed tweets here anymore but from JeffGSpursZone twitter account: According to @ZachKleinWSB in a chat w/@SASportsStar a D. Murray deal depends on Pop and if he wants to blow the team up and go into full rebuild mode.

He's saying they are discussing a deal around DJ for Gallo and picks right now. Of course that doesn't mean that the Spurs like the deal, but them still being in talks is definitely legit so it seems

Yeah we're definitely not there yet, but a lot of our players will make a jump, our bench is mostly on rookie contracts, we got cap space as well as future picks (Chicago 2025, Boston 2028 swap and multiple 2nds that can be flipped into firsts like last season). We could easily add a legit young...

apparently Zach Klein has legit sources from the ATL front office. He called the Doncic for Trae Young trade hours before it happened and also predicted the Okongwu pick. Spurs and Hawks are definitely talking

why would the Spurs make a run at Ayton when Murray is too old? They have to get a top pick. Everybody older than 20 should be traded :lol

I agree. Actually we should‘ve never traded for DeRozan to begin with. Nobody here wanted him. DJ for Gallo and 3 Hawks picks would be up there with the nephew trade as dumbest trade in Spurs history
